Club Hotel Eilat

“A week time in club hotel Eilat only as an apartment ”

Considering the local clientele and the standard crappy level of service common in Israel, I really didn't expect much here, especially after a week in Italy. I was stunned to find a super duper hotel staff solving any problem and calling after to actually see that the issue was solved. Again considering the hotel was 100%booked and 99% families it was kept clean and tidy. Didn't take the food package but I assume it's good, as this is a common standard in Israel. The only exception is the check in from hell process which clearly could have been avoided. Strongly recommend!

“Vintage ship is here!”

When we initially read the reviews on Booking.com, we had our reservations about whether to visit this hotel or not. It seems that low expectations can indeed prevent disappointment. Many previous guests mentioned issues with the check-in process, which often involved long waits at the reception. Fortunately, we experienced no such problems. The hotel had opened multiple desks in the lobby, which made the queue move swiftly. The check-out process required some waiting to hand in our keys, but it was not unreasonably long. The rooms, reminiscent of 1990s decor, somehow reminded me of the hotels at Disneyland in Orlando and Paris, which feature a similar style and period of renovation. This didn't give a negative impression but rather felt like traveling back in time on a vintage ship ⚓️ —a charming experience!🛳️😍 Pros:💡✅ * The hotel boasts a large area with various spots for games and relaxation. The heart of the hotel is the grottoes with pools and a rooftop lounge area. * Live piano music in the lobby was exceptional; I found myself going down just to listen to the pianist. * Evening live music by the pool area featured a violinist, guitarist, and vocalist. * The breakfast selection was excellent and included kosher options, which were also available during Shabbat. * Every evening was filled with entertainment, including clowns, dancers, theater performances. * Fun activities like a foam party, trampolines, and other children's entertainment. * An arcade zone. * Convenient parking. Cons:❗️ * The water in all pools was very cold. It might have been due to our October visit, or perhaps they don't heat the pools year-round. The children got cold very quickly. * Children were not allowed in the jacuzzis, with hotel rules prohibiting those under 16 or 18 from sitting in them. Oddly, this was the only warm place to relax, which led to some negativity towards the lifeguards who were quite stern in enforcing this rule. Overall, while there were some downsides, the hotel's unique charm and numerous activities provided a pleasant stay.
