The hotel provides a mixed experience with its rooms offering a balcony overlooking the pool, but also having an unpleasant perfume smell due to a water leak which required a room change. The service after 24 hours stands out for its high quality and attentiveness to guests' needs. The location at Almog Beach offers a relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle, perfectly situated between Eilat and Taba. The dining experience is elevated by a generous breakfast selection resembling brunch. Facilities are well-kept and satisfying.

I enjoyed having a balcony overlooking the pool, but unfortunately, our room had a disappointing perfume smell from a water leak that led us to switch rooms. It was a pity as my mother had to stay for a few days.

Staying on the bottom floor with access to the pool just steps away from the balcony door was absolutely terrific—a rare gem in Israel. The hotel lacked information on amenities, which was a bit disappointing, but overall, it's a wonderful place to stay.

Rooms

I loved being on the bottom floor with easy pool access right from my room. The room itself was comfortable and clean.

Service

The staff, especially Katya, Daniel, and Mai, were incredibly nice and professional. However, the explanation for not accommodating our request due to being fully booked during rush hour was a bit off-putting for the price paid.

Location

9.0

The location was excellent for me, just a few miles from the city and right next to the beach, perfect for sea sports and snorkeling. However, it seemed more geared towards a young party crowd, which may not suit everyone's preference.

Dining

The dining experience was delish! I especially enjoyed the splendid breakfast with fresh omelets made to order and a great variety of sweet and savory options. However, I wish there were more choices for dinner.

The facilities were good, with some nice free champagne and wine during the day. Being right by a coral reef and the Nature Reserve added a unique touch to the stay.
