Maistra Select Astarea Hotel

The place is located in such a lovely place extremely calm and chilled I loved every moment. Unfortunately a couple of things nearer the end of holiday. We was in the annex type accommodation. Was small but was fine for 2 of us. But being woke up by chairs scraping across the floor constantly was a pain. They need the padding for the feet of chairs to stop this. ...... now our holiday was meant to end on the Friday but the flight was put back a day which meant we had another full day on the Saturday. After breakfast I asked if it was ok to leave luggage and have use of the facilities. Which would have been the pool and sun loungers. I was met with a no so with it being the last day and funds being low we couldn't really do much. We was allowed to stay around the bar and reception. Up until this I was planning on returning to same place but not after being met with a no .shame cos its a lovely place

We are currently here, and if it wasn’t for the stunning views and the lovely local people I would he eager to return home. On arrival we waited more than 3 hours for a room to be ready(it does state in fairness check in from 1400 hours) but of all the places around the world I’ve visited I’ve never had a room not be ready. I am a single mum travelling with three SEN kids. We were the last to get our rooms and had been travelling from 3am. Food is very limited and basic we are yet to be offered drinks with our evening meal, instead finishing our meals and heading up to bar to have a drink. We are quite often finished our main meal and dessert before any dishes are taken away. There is barely anything to choose from on both morning and evening buffets, last nights was awful and 2 of my children went away hungry. Rooms are small and lacking space, for the first time ever I’m living out my suitcase, but they are decorated well. The beds are comfortable too but it is a little cold on a night time. Our adjoining room has been cleaned daily but my room has not. I’m hoping this hotel steps up a little more to change my view. There is zero entertainment in the hotel and zero atmosphere, the hotel is catered for the much older generation. I expected more from this hotel after reading previous rooms but I’m sadly disappointed.

We stayed in the apartments next to the hotel and had breakfast in the hotel. The area of Mlini is beautiful and compact. Lots of restaurants, small beaches, lovely walks and bus route and harbour to get the boat. The hotel was very clean and up together. The staff were really friendly and polite. The pool area clean and tidy. There was no noise at night. Just a really beautiful place to stay

A really lovely hotel. Newly modernised and a great feel to it. We had interconnecting rooms and although we paid for a basic room, we could still see the sea, and it was so peaceful and relaxing, especially listening to the church bells. We had a mini fridge and kettle, so after a trip to the supermarket (about a 20 min walk) we had snacks and drinks in our room. Housekeeping staff came every day and were lovely. Great facilities and having a pool table, table footy and table tennis was great too. We didn't use the swimming pool as the beach was right outside the hotel door and was simply beautiful. I loved that Mlini wasn't too busy. Sbrena, the next village along, has plenty of restaurants and bars, but is a bit busier. The hotel's pizza restaurant is fabulous, and so beautiful sitting by the sea. Cavtat, just along the coast is stunning, and a 20 minute boat ride gets you to Dubrovnik old town. Loved our holiday and would love to go back.

This hotel should be a 4*. Location is great, short taxi into Dubrovnik or water taxi. Nice to be able to visit Dubrovnik and leave as VERY busy. Hotel rooms clean and safe. We stayed in the Annex and the views were stunning. Air con works really well. Breakfast was basic but plenty of options. Outdoor swimming pool cold but indoor swimming pool incredible. We had a rainy day so we basically had a spa day in the hotel. Facilities are 5* (including the gym). Small shop on site for basic's (crisps and water). Nice restaurants within walking distance. Also within walking distance, 20 mins or so, stop at a few bars along the way; was the bay of abandoned hotels (an absolute must see). Beach bar = 10/10. Food, cocktails and wine were all of really good quality.

Spotless friendly helpful staff . One niggle if u are diabetic there are no sugar free alternatives only coke which is not good to drink.in the evening no drinks machines for water etc. The food was good but barely warm the breakfast eggs were cold on return to the table evenings were the same plates were warm but hotplates were not hot enough,otherwise if u want a relaxing holiday this is heaven
