Rooms and Suites

The hotel offers standard, superior, and family rooms to fit different group sizes. All rooms have air conditioning, a TV, minibar, safe, and free WiFi. You’ll get a work desk and a private bathroom with either a shower or tub. Views vary by room type and floor, so you might overlook the Dead Sea, a garden, or the courtyard. The hotel handles large group bookings well, making it a smart choice for tour operators. Basic toiletries come with every room.

Spa and Wellness

The spa features a Dead Sea water pool with the same 34.2% mineral salinity as the sea itself, plus a sauna and treatment rooms. You can book massages, facials, and body treatments for an extra charge. The spa is functional and straightforward rather than luxurious, which fits the hotel’s no-nonsense approach. If you want a seriously upscale spa experience, Lot Spa Hotel or Vert Dead Sea might be better picks.

Dining

The main restaurant operates under kosher supervision and serves buffet breakfast and dinner every day. You’ll find salads, hot dishes, grilled items, and desserts at each meal. There’s a lobby bar for drinks and snacks during the day. The casual buffet setup works well for groups with mixed preferences, and the kosher certification ensures consistency for observant guests.

Activities and Nature

The private beach gives you direct Dead Sea access with free sunbeds for all guests. The Dead Sea’s 34.2% salinity makes you float effortlessly, so you can just relax and drift. The sauna in the spa complex is another nice touch. A short walk gets you to the Dead Sea Mall for shopping, dining, and entertainment. The nearby commercial area has convenience stores and local restaurants. The year-round indoor pool ensures you can swim regardless of season, and the seasonal outdoor pool extends your options in warmer months.

Families and Children

Family rooms have extra sleeping space for bigger groups. The private beach is supervised and safe for kids. You have both an indoor pool (open year-round) and a seasonal outdoor pool for swimming that doesn’t involve the Dead Sea. If you need dedicated kids’ programs and activities, David Dead Sea or Leonardo Club would be better fits.

FAQs

Is the Dead Sea pool water real Dead Sea water?

Yes, it’s the real thing. The water has 34.2% salinity, the same concentration as the actual Dead Sea. You’ll float naturally without any effort, which is the whole appeal. It’s different from regular salt water.

Can children use the Dead Sea facilities?

Absolutely. Kids love floating in the Dead Sea water, and the private beach is supervised and safe. Just make sure they don’t rub their eyes with salty hands. The hotel also has regular pools if they want a break from the mineral water.

Is breakfast included in the room rate?

The amenities list shows a buffet breakfast, but confirm the rate details when you book. The restaurant operates under kosher supervision and serves substantial breakfast and dinner buffets daily.

What's the nearest airport and how far away is it?

Ben Gurion Airport is about 160 kilometers away, roughly a 90-minute drive depending on traffic. Most guests arrange airport transfers through the hotel or rent a car. Taxis are available but pricey for that distance.

Is WiFi really free, and is the connection reliable?

Yes, WiFi is complimentary in all rooms. Reliability is decent for a mid-range hotel, though don’t expect blazing speeds. If you need professional-grade internet, book a business center slot or bring a mobile hotspot as backup.
