I had a lovely time at the resort, which boasts a beautiful design and a wide array of activities that kept us entertained. The dining options were diverse and of good quality, but some aspects, like the room conditions and service responsiveness, left something to be desired.

The Ostria Resort and Spa offers a delightful experience with its exceptional food options and a friendly entertainment team. While the beautiful resort design and clean accommodations made my stay enjoyable, there were issues with room selections and language barriers in activities, which detracted from the overall experience.

Our stay at the hotel was overall enjoyable, as the food quality was a standout feature and the staff provided attentive service. However, the accommodations left a bit to be desired, with limited amenities and some cleanliness issues. The entertainment was mainly in French, which made it challenging for English-speaking guests to fully engage, and there were some additional fees that felt uncalled for. Despite these downsides, the resort's layout and design provided a nice atmosphere for relaxation.

I had a fantastic time at this resort! The design is charming, reminiscent of a Cretan village, and there are beautiful dining options available. I did find the drinks included in the all-inclusive package could use some improvement, and the standard rooms felt a bit outdated. However, the overall ambiance and wonderful food variety made it a memorable stay.
