4.5* if I could
Plus points
Hotel and grounds are beautiful, spotlessly clean and very family oriented . The food is the best we have had in all inclusive with lots of choice to suit everyone . We ate in one of the special restaurants , personally prefer the buffet. Beach is shingle but beautiful clean water and no jellyfish ! 5 pools all spotless again . Entertainment good and staff work very hard in hot conditions .
Small minus points
No toiletries in the room which is normal in 5* hotels. No drinks in the mini fridge which seems rather mean spirited, at least a couple of Pepsi or Fanta or beers would be nice. One bottle of water a day only. The face tissues and toilet roll something like I had at school in the 1950s, thin and rough!!
These small cheap things to fix would so much improve the experience.
At the end of the day , 95% happy with everything as are the others in our group. Hats off to Jet2, great carriers !
Lovely hotel but missing the Greek feel
The hotel was exceptional, room was great, the staff were all helpful and friendly and the food was amazing. The only thing letting this hotel down is how heavily focused it is on French travellers, all the entertainment in the evening and teams around the day is based on French culture and is presented in French and it ruined the experience. We went to Greece because we love the Greek culture and experience but that’s not what we got

Almost everything was as expected, nice room, good food, but the water in the pool was a bit cold and the sunbeds were not very soft, which doesn't lower the overall rating.
Wonderful family stay
Thank you Ostria Resort and partners for our wonderful family stay. We have been charmed by the resort setting, warm welcome and plentiful activities offered. A big thank you to staff for having handled our various inquiries swiftly and professionaly. Thank you as well to the JetClub team (Estelle, Stéphane, Anaïs and the Kids Club Team) to have taken such good care of our children and helped weary parents relax to the full extent. All-inclusive resorts are making a lot of sense to us at this point in our lives, we are delighted to have chosen Ostria this year.

Beautiful hotel, would definitely return!
Beautiful hotel with amazing facilities. Everywhere was spotless and all of the staff were super friendly. We had a swim up deluxe room with view of the sea which was insane!
We dined in 3 à la carte restaurants. Our favourite was Aelous and although we enjoyed Thalassa we wouldn’t say it was worth rushing back to (overpriced for what it was). We took a trip into Ierapetra one evening too which we really enjoyed, lots of nice restaurants and bars on the seafront and only 11 euros for the taxi.
The majority of guests were French so this was the first language for the animation team and entertainment. If you have children, this could also be an issue with kids club. Although we found that there were many activities through the day and a theme almost every night to keep guests busy without being too pushy which we appreciated!
For us, the only downsides holding it back from 5 star were the drinks (not premium and cocktails were pre mixed), the main buffet selection was fairly small for the number of people in the hotel, no mini bar in the room, no daily towel change (this was in the shop every 2 days) and a charge for the use of the gym. Queues at the pool bar buffet could also get long however we were there in the height of summer holidays so this is to be expected!
Overall, really enjoyed our stay at Ostria and would definitely return, it was beautiful!
