Astral Sea Side Hotel August 2014
We rented a room in this hotel for 5 days and 4 nights (for 6000 shekels), as in a 4-star hotel (hotel after renovation),
but its maximum is 3 stars: of course, everyone has problems, especially since they were solved instantly and very politely.
But when I had to solve them every day, it was a little annoying: instead of 3 cups in the room (there were 3 of us in the room)
they put 2 and this has not changed, they just added a glass without a handle for hot tea, then they will not remove dirty towels, and if they remove them,
then instead of 3 dirty ones they will leave one new one. On the penultimate full day, towels were brought 2 hours after
how to call reception. Yes, and I had to call twice. I'm not complaining, the reception staff is wonderful and everything is sincere
they helped, but it is clear that the staff who directly clean the rooms do not perform their duties properly

(try to remove as many numbers). We had a balcony, but very small. The most interesting thing is the location of the outlet.
She was under the table, that is, she had to bend over all the time to turn on the kettle or charge the mobile phone or
something else, and if a person is a pensioner or has health problems and cannot bend down? For some reason they didn't think
make a couple of outlets at the usual height. As for food: breakfast was from 7 am to 10.30, dinner from 18.30 to 19.30.
It would be more convenient if dinner would be extended for at least another hour to stay longer at the sea, and even in August
in the south it gets dark quickly and you can’t swim anymore, and the water is magical and you absolutely don’t want to leave it. Water temperature
all year round from 21 to 25 degrees. The beach is different: near us it was rocky and even walking in the water is difficult, but you can pass
10 minutes to other hotels and instead of stones on the beach appeared normal sand. Breakfast included salads, casseroles,
scrambled eggs, herring, hard-boiled eggs (so it was difficult to peel them), tea, coffee, juice. There were several types for dinner.
meat, salads, and the garnish was potatoes or vermicelli, pasta (on the first day, the vermicelli was cold, a hamburger
overcooked, and the meat was not always easy to chew). The fish was only once some kind of small and taste and cooking
not for a restaurant. Instead of drinks for dinner, only water, there was no tea or coffee, perhaps this is the case in all hotels.
But this is just a trifle, since you can drink tea and there was a kettle in the room. Every day the food was varied, but the quality
in half (half of the meat dishes were tasty and soft, and half was hard to chew, by the way, the shakshuka was the same).
There is an airfield near the hotel, but this did not interfere: you could not hear anything in the room, and it was not particularly noticeable on the street.
In general, all inconveniences can be treated differently: obsessed with them or not paying much attention, since

We still came to rest, which we did. On the last day at dinner, ants were running around the table.
All appliances in the room worked properly. The room itself was not small. The linen was all clean. The room has a safe.
The pool at the hotel is wonderful.
I would especially like to note the girl Natalie at the reception. When she was on shift, all problems, thanks to her, were solved
quickly and clearly. Even when there were no cups and cutlery in the dining room in the morning and no one was interested in it, then with her
the arrival of the shift immediately everything was decided even without requests from the vacationers.
