Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful! The rooms were stunning with a spacious balcony that offered breathtaking views of the mountains, though they lacked atmosphere. The service was exceptional; the staff were friendly and even organized a Surprise Birthday cake for us. The location was perfect for hikers and those seeking peace, especially close to Ein Gedi and Masada. The dining experience was fantastic with rich and delicious options, though some beef dishes were lacking. The facilities were top-notch, offering everything needed for a comfortable stay.
The hotel offers free access to the spa and Ein Gedi Dead Sea facilities. The rooms, though a bit pricy, were surprisingly soundproof and came with powerful air conditioners. The service was accommodating, especially for dietary needs, and allowed for independent exploration. The location, overlooking the Dead Sea, is unique with world-class botanical grounds. The dining experience in the beautiful dining room was incredible with a massive variety of fresh Israeli breakfast foods. Overall, a luxury stay with a few downsides like the high price.
The hotel's location amid spectacular botanical gardens with dramatic views across the Dead Sea to the mountains of Jordan is truly stunning. The rooms, though spacious and well-equipped, did not meet the expected cleanliness standards, especially in the boutique area, which was disappointing given the price paid. The dining experience was a standout feature with splendid options in the buffet restaurant, but unfortunately, the service fell short, treating guests more like an inconvenience than valued visitors.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic, with amazing mountain views from my huge room terrace. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, perfect for relaxing. The service, although mainly young staff, was extremely friendly and welcoming. The location is exceptional, providing easy access to various attractions. The dining options were good quality, but a bit pricey for my taste. Overall, a wonderful experience.
The hotel seems far from the glamorous pictures shown online, but my room was surprisingly amazing and huge with a view of the mountainous rock formation. However, the boutique area rooms are small, old, and not very clean. For the price, I would suggest looking for a better hotel in the area.
My stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. The rooms, while clean and spacious, were somewhat basic and overpriced. The service, though friendly, seemed to lack efficiency and professionalism. The location was ideal for visiting the Dead Sea and Masada, but the dining options were limited for the price.
The hotel is situated between the kibbutz and the “Sea of Spa” beach, offering a nice and scenic location with a great view. The rooms were just perfect, reminiscent of college dorm rooms but wide and equipped with fantastic facilities. The friendly service was a highlight despite some minor issues, and the dining, though very tasty, was on the expensive side. The lack of shade and poor maintenance in some areas slightly detracted from the overall experience.
