rested on the New Year holidays with the weather, we were lucky to swim, sunbathe, have a good rest.
The hotel is very average, everything is simple, to a minimum.
I had to run for towels, the hotel area is not large, the service is not intrusive, the food is so-so. I can’t say that it’s bad, but the choice is not large, the hall is small, the people are noisy, local children fiddle with their dishes in dishes, the staff does not react to this, apparently they are used to it. Breakfast - eggs, scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, pastries, vegetables are not fresh. For dinner, meat, fish, chicken and vegetables, but fresher. There is no tea for dinner! That was news for us. Just a carafe with plain water and that's it. On half board, none of us gained extra pounds. Food in the city at every turn. Everything is quite expensive. We bought their vaunted shawarma and spit. It’s much tastier in our usual stall in the city. 4 shawarmas and 4 teas cost us 1500 in terms of rubles. And emigrants work there too - Sudanese, and their hands are also not washed, in general everything is like ours, only in 3 times more expensive. The hotel is absolute 3 *, you have to be realistic, there is no beach of your own, a deck chair per day costs 20 shekels, which is about 200 rubles per person. Taxi drivers are on every corner, you sit down, and there are already 9.5 shekels on the counter, i. e. 100 rubles.

The city is small and cozy. The location of the hotel is good, 10 minutes to the beach. Max. In the evening there is where to go, the promenade with shops. There are a lot of Dead Sea cosmetics, watch the prices, they sell for big money. You can buy the same products in different stores 2 times cheaper. Tours are also very expensive. Trip to Jerusalem $150 per person, from 5 am to 10 pm. Buses are boring.
Etc. everyone speaks Russian, and in the hotel, and on the beach, and in shops. In general, the impression of Eilat is positive. If you choose this hotel, ask for a room overlooking the courtyard, it will be quieter and more peaceful, there is an airport and planes fly all the time. A hotel for a relaxing holiday with children or retirees. The pool on the territory is small, not impressive, in the karaoke hall - that's basically all of the entertainment. Rest in Eilat will cost, according to the most conservative estimates, 50 - 60 thousand rubles, this is without excursions.
The sea is warm and very clean, there are no sharks. Worth a trip to the coral beach, look at the corals and fish. It’s very beautiful, they rent a mask and snorkel there, as well as a sun lounger and the entrance to the beach for a fee.
SUCCESSFUL REST!
