Astral Nirvana Suites

We were very happy with our stay. The staff were friendly, the food was plentiful and really good, and half board felt almost all inclusive, with unlimited drinks, slushies, coffee, snacks, and more. It's a small hotel, but there's a kids' playroom, an arcade room, and a pool. The place was nice and clean. One small thing: the bathroom had only a shampoo and conditioner combo, with no separate conditioner or body lotion. That combo didn't work well for my hair, though I'm sure it's an easy detail to sort out. Thanks!

The lobby and pool bars were part of the price, with unlimited beer and cold drinks. We booked a suite for a weekend in Eilat with our two kids, including breakfast and dinner, and paid another 200 NIS for late checkout on Saturday evening. There was plenty of room, and the rooms were clean with no carpet. We had two TVs, though they weren't smart TVs, so there was no YouTube or Netflix. That was still enough for the kids. We were on the first floor across from the pool, which made it a little noisy.

The chef was the one real positive. He made sure my children, who have allergies, got breakfast and dinner that met their needs. The hotel shares its pool and dining room with the neighboring hotel, and you should check pool hours before booking. Our room wasn't very clean, and my shower handle was broken. There was no coffee or sugar in the room. There's only one lift, and it was always busy, so we ended up walking up four floors.

The food at all three meals was fantastic, and everything served is kosher. The mashgiach said it's all Glatt kosher except red meat, which is kosher but not Glatt kosher. Ground red meat is Glatt kosher. It's an all-inclusive hotel with lots of activities for children, so it works well for families. The place is a little run down, but if you point out a problem, they send someone to fix it right away. The pool closes early in the evening, so plan around that.
