Arion Astir Palace
I stayed at this Luxury Collection property from 10-17 october. I was upgraded to a Excelsior Club Suite on the 4th (top) floor with a huge balcony and fantastic sea views. The staff was overall very friendly. The lounge however is really strange. You just walk into it from the elevator or stairs and most of the time it was unmanned so anybody could come in/out.
As a platinum member, I (and family) had free access to the spa and indoor pool (25€/person otherwise), the pool is really great with fantastic sea views.
On the downside, the outside pool was home for a colony of seagulls and there were no pool towels. We went to the (much bigger) Westin pool and to the beach.
Overall a great property...
