Nice place,very good food. Special greetings to George's from the pool bar,Kata from the entertainment team and Manolis from the beach restaurant. Very nice people.👍
Really nice hotel with great service and good food. The hotel room was clean and had everything you needed. The pool was really nice and also the programs the animators created were great. The location is perfect it’s close to the beach. The animators created a fun and nice atmosphere especially Kata, she is a really kind girl and makes sure that you’re comfortable and takes care for your wellbeing. I really enjoyed the time with her and the fun activities she and her team created. I can only recommend.
Sofia, the best staff member…Number One
Astir Beach was the best and most beautiful holiday of my life. The location is excellent—everything is close by; the beach is right next to the hotel, as is the on-site mini-market. You can buy everything there, and the prices are reasonable. I rate the housekeeping services very highly; our room was always kept neat and clean. The entertainment team was outstanding—a well-coordinated group that really knows what they are doing. I’d like to give a special mention to Ahmed; he is a very friendly, communicative, and understanding entertainer. He was always great to talk to, and it’s clear he truly enjoys his job. We will definitely return because of him. The entertainment team—including the evening shows and daytime activities like Pilates, mini-golf, aqua gym, and so on—was top-notch. I also rate the food and service very highly; the staff were always pleasant and smiling, and the food was excellent. We will definitely be back at Astir! ❤️🩹
A lovely spot right by the sea. We had a great time. Clean, good food, and very friendly staff. Special thanks to Kata -very nice lady (animation team), Manolis, and Giorgos (the funniest bartender ever ).
