So hope you enjoy your holiday as much as we did. Samos was great but the best that can be said about Aspres is that in our case the holiday was booked as a late deal and it was good value at the price we paid.

We had breakfast on our patio everyday with only the sounds of the waves and birds to accompany us - wonderful!
There's a very well-stocked supermarket just down the road (Proton Supermarket) that sells everything from mugs, to fresh meat and mosquito burners. Best beach is just across from Proton Supermarket. Have driven around the island and Votsalakia is by far the best beach on Samos.
I recommend Nostos restaurant and Mystic Ocean for cocktails - they're great! Reasonably priced,awesome views and great service.
Owners were very helpful and kind. I would definitely recommend staying here - in fact I can't wait to book my next holiday to go there.
The apartments are clean but basic with all you need for a Greek holiday.
better cooking utensils for cooking and eating would help. A very nice clean pool and pool area which is well kept. 4 staff cars parked does not leave much room for guests if you decide to hire a car.
My main problem was with the owner. He was most Un Greek. No smiles or welcome it was all you could do to get an acknowledgement. Surely you want to make your guests feel you appreciate their presence
The pool bar was too expensive 3.5 euros for a small beer and 3 euros for an ice cream.
So very few people used it more than once.
I am sure if the prices had been sensible more people would use it and that would improve the atmosphere of the place
Things are tough for everybody at the moment and a little effort would make a lot of difference
Air conditioning is a must if you want a decent sleep this is charged at 7 euro's a day, 98 euros for a 2 week stay, i read all the reviews before going, and tried various restarauts, with out a doubt the best traditional restaurant was ROMEOS.
Votsalakia is a great place for relaxation, boat trips to Turkey & Patmos pick you up at about 6 am
Very limited bus service in votsalakia so most people who want to explore hire cars
Whilst in Votsalakia the area was on high alert because of forest fires, the resort was evacuated a few days earlier due to a fire, temperatures were in the early 40's during our stay
The place looks like a small village with several simple apartments around the pool. Aspres is located at the far end of Votsalakia. The area is quiet, and at that time it did not feel crowded with tourists, even though all apartments were occupied. The closest beach is Fournaki beach, and it quickly became our favorite spot. Even though Votsalakia beach has far less stones.
The pool was nice and clean, and the bar had some options for food, but not much for vegetarians. Even though it has a child pool, keep in mind that this is for really small children. Seven year olds may prefer the big pool, which starts at a depth of 1,20m.
The apartment we got had the expected standard for a two star hostel. Some kitchen utensils, a small fridge, a small table top electric stove, beds and towels. We had enough space for two adults and three children. Be aware that you will have to buy your own showering soap as the hostel does not provide it.
As mentioned by other reviewers, the shower was a bit tricky. It was small and got easily wet. We had to develop some strategy to keep the bathroom dry during a shower. And yes, the curtain will easily find its way to your skin while you shower. One of our kids preferred to use the showers by the pool instead. The faucets in our apartment need attention as they will leak if not tightened when closed, and for that reason they were hard to open for the kids. One of the bed lamps didn't work, and management could not change the light bulb, as it is an old lamp.
If you are looking forward for sosial media detox, this might be the right place for you. The internet is surprisingly absent. You get signal at the bar, and as you move towards the apartments, it will just not work. The bandwidth is not strong, even at the bar. But it is possible to download a show while at the bar to watch later at the room. Alternatively, you can watch it at the bar after it is closed, but be prepared to be eaten alive by the mosquitoes.
And speaking of which... as usual in hot weather, there are tons of mosquitoes everywhere. When packing, remember the electric mosquito pads you might have at home. If you don't have it with you, make it a priority to buy one at the closest mini market as soon as you arrive. You will need it. Alternatively, be prepared to pay 7 euros extra per day to use the air condition and keep the windows and door closed. Depending on when you arrive, and how hot it is, you might have to pay the extra anyways. Then forget about the mosquitoes.
This was actually the very first time that I have seen this: the air condition isn't included in the price you pay for the accommodation. It felt almost like a trap. You either pay ekstra, sweat/get a stroke, or get eaten by mosquitoes because only a small window have a mosquito net. Even though it was deliciously windy outside at night, we could not keep the windows open, apart from that little one.
Aspres was advertised to us as a family/child friendly hostel, but we were surprised to see that this is a 'smoking' hostel. The room and the tables at the bar had ashtrays and the guests are allowed to smoke wherever and whenever they want. Including next to your apartment door, while you children are sitting at the veranda. This was unfortunate as we did not enjoy the hostel as much as we could and spent most of the day out or locked inside.
As others also mentioned, the owners are kind and seem to do their best to keep us comfortable. The cleaning staff was helpful and available if we needed it.
All in all, it was an ok experience. We enjoyed Samos, the beach, the weather, the food, and we might visit Samos again in the future. I hope Aspres can offer air conditioning as standard, upgraded internet and become smoke free or at least smoke restricted by then.
The apartments were large bedsits with balconies . Clean but had seen better days. The pool and pool area were excellent . Aspres is at the very far end of Votsalakia - very quiet and short walk to a pretty cove and shingle beach .
Alex and Eleni were lovely hosts.
