Astral Maris Hotel

I went with my partner for 3 days/2 night at the Astral Maris hotel beginning of August to relax/break the routine. The positive point - The room is a good size, with a bathtub and shower. The bed is comfortable. You get everything you need even a kettle if you want a tea or coffee. - The staff of the restaurant is great, helping and in a good mood. The dinner food was good with a good choice of meals. - The pool is big enough and was not so crowded. The negative point - When we performed check in the receptionist was not English speaker. We were able to communicate but a bit weird for a hotel in Eilat. - The breakfast was not amazing. Not a lot of choices and the cakes were not amazing. - At the pool, there is not enough deck chairs and umbrellas. On top, people are drinking glass bottles of beer and even smoke in the pool and the lifeguard or staff don’t say anything. Also, everyone put his music on his own speaker, at one stage 3 groups of people had so loud music on their speakers. Not relaxing at all. Overall the hotel is good quality price however they definitely need to be more strict on the rules at the pool as everyone does what he wants. A special thanks to a manager called Guy. He is amazing, friendly, helpful, polite and was helping/doing everything and everywhere at the restaurant, at the pool ..,, amazing guy.

The breakfast was the worst of my life!! Very poor. They did not have fruit!! They keep Shabbat, so don't expect a cappuccino or tost on Saturday morning. The croissant were from the noises ages!

The hotel is outdated and not maintained. It is true that it is in a good location and in front of the sea, but beyond that there is nothing good. The food was terrible and recycled, unserviceable and unkind staff. Poor level of cleanliness... we thought it was a boutique hotel but it didn't feel that way at all.

Staff made no effort to speak English or communicate. No coffee except dried. Limited parking. But nice big rooms in good location.
