Ok for the 3-4 Stars
We had 2 rooms - the sea view was fine, the garden room was overlooking someones back yard. The hotel is on the public beach. Good local shops otherwise not close to any larger areas. The staff in the restaurant were fine and the food was ok. The reception staff need a personality. The pools were clean - the pool towels had holes in them but we could not be bothered to address it to reception staff as they would rather avoid interacting with clients. On check out they did not even ask how our stay was and hope to see us soon one day. The rooms are basic - its stated as 4 star but its 3 star IMO. We had issues with the air con - it took 5 minutes to get going and the filters were packed with dust - the on site repair man came and made us feel indadequate at notunderstanding air con equipment but we did make him clean the clogged up filters (albeit he did it in our shower). They only give 1 room key with a magnet to attach to the sensor which starts the room up- pain in the neck as if one of us wanted to go out we had to be let in or wake up our family. It achieved what we needed to achieve, no one fell ill, the kids loved the pool, basic kids entertainment. We arranged the holiday 5 days prior so we paid premium for a basic hotel - will book more in advance next time.

OK Hotel close to a public Beach
A very disappointing experience for a 4* All Inclusive Hotel. Surely reception staff should have a happy face. Had to pay for everthing with the exception of cheap quality & limited variety of alchol drinks and meals. A large variety of food but all cooked & prepared very similarly. Aimed mainly at the Eastern European community. Got bored with the food very quickly. All the soft drinks were watered down including the so called fruit Juices. We were a group of 6, we always had to wait for a table at every sitting, because they only had 2 tables in the restaurant that would accommodate 6 people. The head waiter felt he was doing us a favour. A person of self importance. Before the time of restaurant closed they would start picking the food up. WiFi was not available every in the hotel, very poor connection had to come to the main reception and stand at particular location to make a phone call. The reception and bar area where people would congregate was quite large and they would turn off the air conditioning here. In your bedroom you got one pillow the size was ideal for a child was very uncomfortable. Our bathroom was appalling, the toilet seat had to be replaced with a new one on the first day. The shower rail and curtain collapsed. Had a shower on the first day the tray overflowed and flooded the bathroom which went into the bedroom. Had to change rooms the next day. The room decor was old and tatty, beds were so uncomfortable was not able to get a good nights sleep once.

Bei den Zimmern mangelte es an Sauberkeit. Zudem entdeckten wir Staubläuse. Es gibt nicht viel Essensauswahl und es wird nich alles beschriftet. Für All-Inclusive gibt es nur wenige alkoholische Getränke zur Auswahl, und nur bis zu einer gewissen Zeit. Das Servicepersonal, wie such dir Bartender sind sehr nett.

Il n y a pas vraiment de all inclusive. Très peu de choix. A 15h reste quelques mini loucoum. Plus de patisserie. Les heures notées sur le site de l hotel ne sont plus les mêmes sur places. Bar de la piscine , boissons payantes. Le service n est pas à la hauteur d un 4 étoiles. Malgré l'avoir signalé à la direction, rien ne change. Bien dommage Manque de serieux. Les mêmes legumes grillés durant 7 jours. Je ne le recommande pas. Le all inclusives est une arnaque. Ceux qui prennent un sejour en pension complète, ont le buffet à disposition sans payer le prix du all inclusives. Franchement extrêmement déçus. Un consril choisissez un auyte hôtel. N et S Lys

Das Hotel ist eher klein, gegenüber manch anderer. Aber das macht es gerade Charmant. Man wird als Gast noch erkannt :-). In Sauberkeit und Freundlichkeit macht es einen sehr guten Eindruck. Manche Möbelstücke könnten ersetzt werden, aber uns hat es nicht weiter gestört. Das Essen war super, Abwechslungsreich und sehr international. Die Angestellten immer sehr freundlich und viel Sprachig. Alles im allen hat es uns sehr gut im Astir Beach gefallen.

De ontvangst was goed, de hotel is niet zo groot zoals je denkt, de kamer was goed en net genoeg voor 3 personen. De balkon in de kamer is zeker een toegevoegd waard dat geeft een sfeer. De koelkast was oud en jammer geen koffie apparaat. De buffet was super maar de koffie was niet lekker. Personeel heel aardig wij komen zeker terug.

Sehr enttäuschend
Leider sind wir sehr enttäuscht von diesem Hotel. Gemäss Bewertungen haben wir ein freundliches Hotel mit gutem Essen erwartet. Wir wurden am zweiten Tag gebeten die Hotelrechnung zu bezahlen.... Weshalb, konnte uns keiner erklären und das Management war nicht erreichbar. Das Buffet war keine Freude. Die Früchte aus der Dose und an einem Tag ging die Butter aus..... Das Personal im Reinigungsbereich und im Essaal freundlich. Tischtücher wurden umgedreht wenn Sie Flecken hatten. Auf meine Frage ob man den Tisch ein wenig dekorieren könne da mein Neffe Geburtstag habe, antwortete der nette Herr: Man kann einen Kuchen kaufen aber dekorieren würden sie nicht. Sie haben nichts zur Dekoration. Ich solle doch etwas kaufen gehen. Nicht dass ich ein grosses Brimborium erwartet hätte, aber eine kleine Demo wäre wirklich nett gewesen. Kaffee im Zimmer war am ersten Tag aufgefüllt, danach: Gähnende Leere..... Schade. Wir werden dieses Hotel nicht noch einmal buchen und auch nicht empfehlen.

Hôtel situé juste en face de la Plage et plusieurs activité sont disponibles ( jet ski, bouée, location de buggy et de quad) L’hôtel a 3 piscines extérieur avec un bar extérieur ouvert juste en forte période car début juin il est fermée + air de jeux pour enfants. Manque d’animations le soir et ils mettent que de la musique radio, pas de musique Grecque Il y a des animations la journée( gym, aquagym, pétanque et ping pong à certaines heures) Les anciennes chambres sont pas top(surtout la douche) Et les nouvelles chambres sont assez moderne et surtout la salle de bain est plus grande.

Immer wieder!
Wir waren schon zum 2. Mal hier, und es hat uns wieder sehr gut gefallen. Wir kommen sicher wieder. Natürlich sind die Zimmer mittlerweile ein bißchen abgewohnt, es ist ja auch kein neues Hotel mehr. Das Preisleistungsverhältnis paßt. Schön ist auch ,dass wir , wie vor 3 Jahren vom selben Personal empfangen, und vom Service im Essbereich versorgt wurden. Das Personal ist hier immer freundlich und gutgelaunt! Das Essen ist gut, vielleicht sollte es a bisserl mehr gewürzt sein, aber das ist halt Geschmackssache. Das Zimmer wurden immer sehr ordentlich und sauber gepflegt vom Reinigungspersonal. Das Personal an der Rezeption war immer sehr hilfsbereit. ( Flug-check in, Taxi ....)
