Piter,Irina and Ahmed verry good team amazing expérience with us really want to comback in this island and in this team change nothing
Super friendly staff, a plate with bread and snacks was prepared for us as we were not in time for dinner due to a late flight. Rooms were clean, bedding was prepared daily and we were able to rent towels from the hotel for the pool/beach. The hotel is very close to the beach. Daily animations, which were very fun to both watch and participate in. Varied day-to-day food, but quality was some days good, some days okay.
Special shoutout to Ilias and Ahmed from the animation team who came to us daily to have a conversation, hosted animations and were open for activities on the off time. Not out of necessity, but because they wanted you to have a fun and memorable stay. Also shoutout to the bartender at the lobby bar whose interactions could brighten anyone's day with his vibrant energy.
The entire Astir Beach is absolutely amazing – from the clean and beautiful rooms to the delicious food and stunning surroundings. Everything was top-notch, but what truly made this the best vacation of our lives was, without a doubt, the animation team! The whole animation team is incredibly energetic, friendly, and professional.
Animator AHMED: The absolute superstar of the hotel! Ahmed is an incredible professional with a huge heart and endless energy. He knows exactly how to get everyone moving, always has a massive smile on his face, and his positive energy is contagious. The vacation wouldn’t have been the same without him!
Summary of the amazing DJ: Great facilities, perfect services, but most importantly, people who do their job with passion and heart. If you want a vacation full of laughter, dancing, and an amazing atmosphere, you are in the right place. We will definitely be back soon! 10/10, highly recommend!
