My first interaction with Astro Palace to set up a birthday surprise for my wife.
Hope greeted us at reception and discreetly didn’t wish my wife happy birthday until after she entered our suite door and saw her surprise: a large heart of rose petals on the bed and around the floor, a bouquet of flowers, birthday cake and wine. It was a lovely moment, which Hope left us to enjoy by ourselves, and a perfect start to our honeymoon and first holiday in 3 years!
After the birthday surprise, as it was already late when we arrived, we quickly got ready for dinner at the hotel restaurant and met Kostas for the first time! Kostas is a lovely soul, a great source of information and was ever-present during our stay. The food and cocktails were excellent, so we returned for cocktails most evenings and had breakfast everyday, including the lovely omelettes ordered by Kostas.
We booked massages with the delightful Kiki, part of the Astro Palace Spa Team, and experienced the best massages we’ve had to date by Anna and Mike. I used to have monthly sports massages and we’re both qualified masseuses (as a hobby), so we know what good feels and sounds like.
Hope was amazing and we always looked forward to speaking to her and Dorothy on reception. All the staff at Astro Palace were exceptional, personable and genuinely invested in ensuring their guests had the best stay in Santorini, by providing guidance on where to visit, eat and drink and then seeking feedback when we returned.
