TripAdvisor Review
Fun and memorable experience

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.

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST VACATION EVER! THE ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE!

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!
