Of the hotels I have seen, the most thoughtful architecture! The pool is surrounded by buildings and during the day the sun is always near the pool. You can change sun loungers, the shortage of which we did not feel. If you want - a double bed, if you want - a sunbed under an umbrella. You can pull out a sun lounger, you can comfortably sunbathe in the shade of a palm tree. I consider this important, because there is nothing to do on the local Red Sea ...The hotel has two "accredited" beaches: to the left - on the beach of the Herods hotel, and closer, one might say, to the right - on the municipal beach near another Leonardo hotel. We liked the left one better. Knowing the way to go about 15 minutes. With the search for a sun lounger and shade - well, up to half an hour. But on the right - this is a real bazaar over your head! And boutiques a little further towards the local airport. One plus - you can run to the toilet of another Leonardo, showing a card from the number (everyone has the same). And near Herods somehow quieter and calmer.
There is a market along the way where you can buy beer for the beach at normal prices, or something else on the way back to the hotel.
Someone correctly wrote that the hotel, like everything in the Leonardo network, is a fading maiden word ...Unfortunately, we are forced to confirm. Dirt flourishes everywhere. Sometimes in this hotel there were glimpses of service. But there is an impression that it is not the staff for the client, but vice versa ...On the old maps, this hotel is listed under a different name - they probably bought it out. There are traces of hasty repairs everywhere.
Wi-Fi here is only an hour for free and then in the lobby. Somehow I decided to use it when the traffic on the local SIM card ended and decided to order a rum-cola. The menu says the rum in the cocktail is Bacardi. After some time, a girl from the bar comes up to me (whom I used to see at other posts in the hotel) and demonstrates Cointreau and Kalua ...My English is not very good, but she does not at all!
But I realized that she provided me with a choice of these liqueurs for my ...rum cola! ! ! By the way, I asked them for a cola or Pepsi, because Pepsi is used throughout the entire line of hotels. She assured me that it was cola)) But there is Pepsi. In short, I got up from the table, went to the bar and began to ask if there was rum. She seems to have realized her mistake and began to show me a bottle of some native rum that she had started ...He asked about bacardi - she said no ...But I saw one that had not been started on the bar and I said “here it is”. Only in this way I was able to achieve a warm "rum-Bacardi/Pepsi" for 30 shekels (Pepsi didn't count!! ! ! )…
Room 316 is spacious, with a double bed, a sofa and an armchair. Outlets are more or less enough. Met a suitcase stand for the first time! The refrigerator works, the TV is strange, but it shows a couple of Russian channels - in one of them the sound lags behind the picture)) The safe is screwed very inconveniently to the bottom shelf ...The air conditioner works fine.
The bathroom is combined with the usual set of soap accessories. Hairdryer 900 W TM "Elite" is strange - heated air enters through the corrugated pipe to the handle, which is therefore hot, and the efficiency of the heated air at the outlet is reduced. But in principle you can use it. View of the pool, but the hotel often walks until late, so it can be noisy.
We stayed on the breakfast + dinner system. Upon check-in, we were hinted that you can go to breakfast several times - it is from 6 to 12. Therefore, the absence of lunch was not a burden. Wake up at 8 am and have breakfast. Then at 9:00 to sunbathe near the pool - the sun just appears and it ceases to be cold. And at 11:00 ...second breakfast)) Then either to the sea or back to the pool. The water in the pool is not heated. You can warm up in the jacuzzi.
If you get hungry, you can buy sandwiches and fries by the pool. But, I remind you, no service and no attempts to make money like “Mr. Samsing drink?
"...You need to provide yourself with everything you need!
In general, the hotel is good. Their anarchy can be used for your own purposes even))
By the way, in the nearby Leonardo there is a bicycle rental - read the voucher!
PS: unlike Jerusalem, in this hotel the drinking water is lousy!
About the tour Tel Aviv - Jerusalem - Dead Sea - Eilat":
- in October the weather is what you need - up to + 26-30 in the afternoon (it is hotter in Eilat - up to + 33), only one day it was cold in Jerusalem 14 - 19 it seems;
- at least the Red Sea was left for later, but it's not like in Egypt - I somehow liked the Mediterranean more;
- Tel Aviv is a very mobile city - at least the embankment is teeming with citizens running and riding everything from scooters to bicycles. There was no other place like this in Israel;
- everything is very expensive;
- for the Internet, it is best to use a local SIM card and use the phone as a modem or as an access point - about 100 - 150 UAH will cost a Gig or two traffic valid for a week or two. There are other proposals - it is better to buy the operator, which will be, upon arrival until nothing is closed. The SIM card itself costs about 30-40 dollars and score whatever you want on it - the Internet or conversations. Lots of interesting suggestions. And excellent data transfer speed!
- when ordering dishes on the embankment, specify whether to order a salad, because almost all main courses come with a bowl of freshly cut vegetables - actually quite a good salad and in large quantities;
- it is striking that on excursions, apart from drip irrigation and the army, the Israelis have nothing to be proud of ...Ask the guides! And on trips to Jerusalem, beware of large groups, because at least you will hear little, and at most you will get lost. Taxis are expensive...
- after swimming in the Jordan River, they will later tell you that this is not the same place, but another - specially organized by the Ministry of Tourism ...Although what difference does it make for a believer where to plunge! If there are souvenir shops before the river, then you will be offered to buy Christian shirts in advance - such as it is more expensive on the river. Yes, more expensive. But! There are synthetics in the shops (and there are also dumb shirts, with some word reminiscent of baptist ... ), and cotton on the river. Well, all these tourist rascals in addition - a certificate + free rental of towels and locker rooms to boot. It should be remembered that after dipping in a shirt, you can never twist it, wash it, iron it in your life ...It is used as a type in the treatment of serious ailments. Do not forget swimwear for such an excursion, otherwise a wet shirt "glows". We were lucky that we "sanctified" three shirts each at once - for loved ones. So everything worked out, but no one there complex))
- date honey in the airport detectors on departure seemed like a security bomb, and on arrival - syrup ...You didn't read it!
- From this trip, 33 coiled candles were brought to friends, which were burned with the Holy Fire. That elevation of this action was spoiled by the mockery of the attentive donee - there the inscription "Holy Land" is translated as ..."Holy Land"! ! ! Not kosher somehow...
- in Jaffa - nice, you can go for free, clinging to a trip to the diamond exchange. There is where to take a picture.
- Pomegranate wine on samples was tastier than bought at the airport. In tourist spots, pomegranate fresh is archaic! Quarters above / below - the ball.
- take something to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher that you will never wash off - you will rub it with a stone that allocates to the world;
- in all the hotels where you have been, you can drink water from the tap - it is both tasty and the locals declare its safety. But in Leonardo in Eilat, the water constantly gave off a pool ...
- I would prepare for buying cosmetics at the Dead Sea at home - it requires knowledge, because the high cost of some brands is confusing. Especially the gifts coming to them...
- then at airports the security guards ask you "didn't they give you any gifts? "...They let everyone out there through micro interrogation so that you are in the chicken...All this is long and unpleasant! Especially public shmon, when you shift banks with dirty shorts, Schaub did not beat)))
- don't buy blue chips - bullshit...
- bought a suitcase at the Ice Mall in Eilat at a discount (well, in the duty-free zone), then compared the price at the airport - a little more expensive. And at the airport itself I looked at the prices of devices known to me - expensive (((
- the beaches are municipal and, if there is no voucher from the hotel, then a sunbed will cost an average of 15 shekels ...
- coffee in bags in hotels is not instant - it is, as a rule, finely ground natural coffee. We steam and drink)
In general, Israel is not a beach holiday. Dirty, dusty country.
Either there is little rain, or there is no time or meaning - constant readiness for war. Expensive not only for tourists, but also for locals. At the same time, 40% of the budget for military ...
Service? Forget! ! ! The Jews themselves, by all appearances, make it clear that they will not serve anyone, and those barumbeks whom they hire are not taught this. English, too. The words "WC", "toilet" often baffled the staff! ! ! On excursions, they said that 30% speak Russian fluently. Didn't feel it! They probably forgot to mention what they say and understand when they need it)))
In a hotel on the Dead Sea, I saw a black man in the spa responsible for the towels. He sits, lounging ...People come up to hand over towels - he makes cheeks with his finger and commands with a gesture where to carry them, they ask "where to get clean ones" - the same pointing finger after clicking ...I would have clicked it a couple of times if we hadn’t stopped for 1.5 days to this point!
Back off...
Brothers and sisters))
All this blocks the inspiration from visiting the Holy places.
But my advice to you: look for rest in other places. To Israel - only on a pilgrimage. It's cheaper and makes more sense.
