We went Passover week, so the hotel was very crowded, and the daytime staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. However, we really enjoyed the dining room breakfast (included), and the patios. Parking lot is small, so you have to get lucky to snag a spot (although it is free to park). The pool water feels chilly, pool towels are hard to get, and lunch options are limited. The dinner buffet was $35 USD per person, so we walked to the Ein Bokek Restaurant (seriously good hummus) for a cheaper meal most nights. I agree that this place has the look of luxury, but is missing the extra service elements to justify the high price (slow check in, poor towel service). Overall, this still might be the best option for entry level luxury, and the location on the water is excellent.

The room was old but preserved ok. Good beach access. SPA was ok (basic) but the food was the worst I have ever seen! Worst ever from all the hotels/hostels I have visited. Didn’t expect that from this chain.

Beautiful setting but limited pool and beach hours

Short staffed front desk and very limited beach access spa hours diminished experience. The food and the facilities are first class.

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.
