We went here on our honeymoon. Not really for couples, mainly for families. Beautiful looking hotel and very romantic looking. Swimming pool closed quite early, only open until 6pm. Should have more stuff to do for couples and more separation between adult areas and kid areas. Xi beach is nice but in order to get to the nice part you have to walk through the small cave in the water. Not much around the hotel within walking distance. Buffet is not the best, hygiene really poor for a 5 star hotel. Also not really clear how it works and not much guidance given. We paid for half board but ended up eating elsewhere most nights.
Main improvements: have an adults only area on the resort that is tightly managed, maybe have a evening swim session between 6pm and 8pm for adults only, improve the hygiene and quality of the food, and give more guidance to guests with the buffet.

7 night all inclusive stay.
The entire complex is beautifully clean and very well maintained. Toilets were immaculate everywhere.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
I felt food was good quality and value for the price I paid.
Pools were good.
Waterpark is brilliant and very well maintained. Everywhere is always clean. Staff were always cleaning or tidying up.
My only complaint really would be location of our room, directly above the pool bar, with my 6yr old daughter. Music was loud till midnight pretty much every night.
Id recommend coming here, child friendly and we felt safe the entire time.

Currently staying at the Resort and i have to say that i'm split in two worlds.
The resort and the rooms are simply amazing. The location of the resort is not ideal for tourists, but the resort makes it worth the travel.
BUT, where the location of the resort couldn't trouble us, taking into account the amazing quality of the resort, the food and drinks are definetally ruining our experience.
The coffee at the bars is really bad, we are sticking to the coffee we get offered at our rooms as the Nespresso cups are far more better than the coffee made in the bars.
At the bars they are serving pre-made cocktails that taste very sub standard, which i wouldn't expect from a 5* Resort, proudly showcasing their quality awards in every corner of the resort.
But the food takes the price.. We are here 6 days and so far we had Greek Cuisine ones. The rest of the days it's the same pasta dishes, Burgers, Pork meat that isn't trimmed and grilled chicken, including every part of the chicken, even the neck. Full with tiny bones with no warning what so ever, which is causing a potentialy health risk to every guest, but especially the children.
Plates are not being washed properly, so on the bottom of the plate are leftovers from the previous shift, small things that could be avoided or improved, but the Quality as you would expect from the awards is not in the food and drinks. A real shame.
Wish they would serve the customer the quality they would deserve and expect from a 5* resort, especially since the resort itself shows a complete different reality than that you will find on your plate or in your glass.

Family of 4 stayed 7 nights during the UK May half term. Second visit to this hotel. Facilities are pretty good. This year the waterpark is free to access for all guests, unlike previous year. Evening buffet food was varied and offers lots of choice. Would recommend hiring a car from Mercury so that you can explore the island. Lixouri town is 10mins drive away and has a small square with local restaurants and access to the ferry to Argostoli, which runs every 30mins in peak season.

We had an incredible stay at Apollonion Asterias Resort. The staff were incredibly attentive, and incredibly well organized. It was a pleasure to stay there. The pools were perfect for kids and I really enjoyed our stay! A huge thank you to everyone ❤️
