The place is right next to the dead sea by a beautiful boardwalk.
The hotel itself had a foul smell on the ground floor, and the room didn't look like anything in the pictures. The food wasn't amazing. and the room wasn't really clean, especially the porch.
Courteous staff, nice amenities
Not alot to do outside

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Hotel service was terrible. Room service request were extremely long, and workers made you feel like they were doing you a favor. . Additionally both rooms we booked, the AC did not worm and we had to wait 1=hours for it to get fixed
When we first arrived we ran into an issue with an aggressive parking attendant. After speaking with the management about the issue they were very concerned and very quickly and contentiously dealt with the situation. I appreciated their quick and measured response.
They have the most unbelievable beach in the Dead Sea area . for sure the best one and great accessibility. The food is amazing. Cons they don’t have a store in the hotel and no food after dinner or during the day (besides meals)
They closed the pool and took away beach chairs at 5 pm! Were very rude about it too. No place to spend time in the evening. Only buffet option for food and it's pretty gross for a lot of money

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I ordered a sleep at this hotel assuming it is as good as its grade. The room was nice, the balcony faced the Dead Sea and the view was great. Dinner was bad, half the food tasted like it was reheated several times, and the variety of salads was very minimal. The glasses were dirty, and it took the waiter 15 minutes to get new ones. I won’t elaborate about the breakfast, which was just bad. Overall, there are better hotels in my opinion.
Got surprise welcome freash fruit plate. Great ocean and mountain view from balcony.
Free bikes for hotel guests use
Elevators are too few and tight in size.
Greenwall at entrance.
Staff was always helping and working from on site managers cheffs and maids
Very unplasent stay, do not go their! Many porblems,Sewage leaks at the entrance to the dining room and a stench for the entire weekend, without treatment and disdain from the management, poor food quality.
Love the location, few meters away from Dead Sea water. Shopping mall is walking distance. Breakfast is amazing plenty’s of variety selection.we really enjoy our stay.
Too expensive to what you gett.
Quite nice breakfast and dinner, nice room -sea view, but with dirty shower, was discusting!! Spa and facilities not clean as well. Great location, quick and good service but disappointed as no parking in hotel. Spa treatments were ok but not that good for the high price.
