We have just come back from 1 week at the Astir Beach (31.08.2008 / 07.09.2008) and can honestly say we would never go back again. We are a couple who have travelled to many countries and have often been in excellent hotels, most of them five stars, but also in some four and three stars ones. Meaning that we can... more

Breakfast was... more
