Having just returned from Star Studios we just wanted to give an honest review that cuts through some of the noise of recent reviews.
Star Studios offers good, honest accommodation. No it's not five star luxury but it's good clean, self-catering accommodation comparable similarly rated apartments in Greece. A nice big room, lovely balcony, clean bathroom and kitchen and relaxed atmosphere. The pool area was well maintained with inflatables for all guests to use and plenty of beds and umbrellas.
The on-site taverna/bar serves delicious homemade food using fresh ingredients from the owners garden, offering both tradtional Greek dishes as well as English breakfasts, baquettes and snacks. The Greek salad was without equal and the homemade taramasalata was delicious. Prices were comparable to the rest of the resort. To set the record straight we ate out at different restaurants in the resort 6 of the 7 nights we were there and we were never greeted with anything but warmth and friendliness from Kostas, Mila and family. So the reviews stating that unless you eat at Kostas' every night he takes a dis-liking to you are completely contradictory to what we experienced. If other people have experienced anything other than this it makes us wonder why.
The studios are well located in beautiful grounds, realistically a lazy 10/15 minute stroll into the resort centre. There is a supermarket within a couple of minutes walk. The walk into the resort is lit but late at night we found a torch useful. The resort of St George South is a low key, relaxed and friendly place with a beautiful beach and shallow warm waters. There are enough tavernas and bars to suit all tastes. Two particular favourites for us were Sunset bar for sundowners, right by the beach with great views of the glorious Greek sunsets. For a traditional experience of Greek food Gramaphono serves authentic tapas sized dishes from different regions and islands as well as different main dishes than you will find in the usual tavernas. The owner is passionate about the food he serves and takes his time with customers to explain the origin and ingredients of each dish. A great find.
Overall a lovely resort for couples and families and decent, honest accommodation in Star Studios that we would be happy to recommend to our friends and family and would love to have stayed for longer. A big thank you to Kostas and Mila for making our much needed holiday so relaxing.
