Maistra Select Astarea Hotel

Fabulous sea views Awesome hotel. The room had amazing ssa views. Buffet brekkie and dinner was superb. Close to old town and airport. Will definitely book her again

Beautiful hotel in a stunning location. The room was lovely, and cleaned whenever we put the ‘please clean’ hanger on the door. Comfy beds, TV with everything from hotel info to Sky News to Netflix (if you have a personal account). Good breakfast, if laid out a little haphazardly…! We were B&B but ate in the restaurant one night, and buffet style like the breakfast, with a good choice of foods. Had a fab massage, and the indoor pool and gym are lovely too. Outdoor pool spotless and surrounded by lush greenery, although unheated, so chilly before 3pm…! The staff were wonderful to a fault, and couldn’t do enough, always with a smile. Location wise, Mlini is tiny with just a few restaurants, and a pretty harbour. Very peaceful. Water taxi to Dubrovnik old town or Cavtat, €15 return. Uber to old town (Pile Gate) about €12. Bus about €2.50, but to catch it - or to pick groceries etc up - it’s a 10/15 min walk (stagger) up the steepest hill known to man! All in all a lovely hotel in a gorgeous location, but don’t expect loads of amenities once you leave the hotel. Great for a peaceful getaway.

The rooms were to small and lack storage space , no drawers for underwear etc and could do with soft close doors, people letting them slam shut .That is the only negative . Great location and hotel pools first class.

We have just come back from a week at the Astarea. We would definitely go back. Situated in the small town of Mlini, it's the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday but with the option of going into Dubrovnik and Cavtat. We used the water taxi which was great. The hotel is spotless and room service is every day (if you want it) with clean towels and a tidy up. The food was great (we stayed half board) and you would be very hard pushed to find something you didn't like. I would definitely say a great range for everyone. My husband is gluten intolerant and he had no issues. The staff are so friendly and attentive, especially in the restaurant and cleaning staff ,they work really hard. The pool area is kept clean and we had no issues with getting a lounger. If you are looking for pure relaxation in a stunning setting with all of your needs catered for then the Astarea is definitely a place to stay.

I was on a eight day holiday with Newmarket holidays to Dubrovnik, Montenegro & the Dalmatian coast, we stayed four nights at the Hotel Astarea, the hotel is in the coastal area of Mlini with stunning views over the Adriatic Sea, beautiful coastline and the weather much warmer here, hotel is very modern with lots of facilities something for everyone to do, you can walk along the shoreline to bars and restaurants, shopping centre and book boat trips or just sit and relax. I had a lovely comfortable room with balcony and everything I needed for my stay including tea and coffee making facilities, excellent housekeeping throughout the hotel, staff friendly and helpful, breakfast and evening meal was served in a spacious dining room buffet style food was delicious so much choice and water was served with your meal. Our guide Evan gave us lots of information and looked after us along with our coach drivers who did an excellent job of driving us around, from this hotel we visited Mostar, Dubrovnik, Bay of Kotor and Montenegro. I thoroughly enjoyed the excursions plenty of information from local guides and free time was just right to look around the areas yourself, perfect itinerary. We also had the pleasure of Tom and Justin the film crew who came along to video our holiday experience for Newmarket holidays. I met up with some lovely fellow travellers on the coach who made my holiday extra special, definitely recommend this holiday to Croatia

Our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens) stayed here for 5 nights, and enjoyed all Mlini had to offer! We stayed in 2 basic rooms (annex standard rooms) with half-board, beach, all pools & sauna included. We had booked early, plus had a member & long-stay discount, so the price was 758 Euros total. They also provide a bus plan (bus is in front of hotel) to go to Dubrovnik, and that was 3 euros each to the city walls (under 30 min with traffic & stops). We also booked day trips to Montenegro & Bosnia and were able to be picked-up at the reception, so staying here was so convenient, for our family. They also offered a map of the coast, so we walked & saw some very beautiful spots & even a waterfall. The town was a perfect get-away from the city, offered water taxis, and even tours to the Elaphite Islands. The airport was also only 15 min away. We enjoyed ourselves to the fullest & they even served breakfast at 4:30 for those going on day trips & all trips had us back for dinner. Enjoy!
