Recently returned from the Spa Club hotel, so the impressions are the freshest. Checked in on Saturday when there was a big departure of tourists. In this regard, the hotel (especially after dinner) was not crowded, there were only a couple of people in the SPA complex, there was only a black fluffy cat on the territory... This was until the morning of the next day, when new tourists began to arrive and gradually settle in. But the hotel still does not feel crowded or fussy. This is due to the fact that the SPA Club building is intended only for adults.
The restaurant is very cozy. Most of the tables are for couples, not for large families or groups, as in most hotels on the Dead Sea. Breakfasts and dinners at a decent high level. I especially liked the dishes for dinner - a whole fish in the oven with some herbs and spices, tiny portioned salads, and you just lick your fingers how delicious everything is sweet... At breakfast - a lot of cheeses with and without mold, spicy shakshuka fish and Philadelphia type cheese, garnished with a slice of lemon, small vegetable casseroles. Beautiful tableware in the restaurant deserves special attention, especially at dinner. I have never seen this in 5* hotels. Breakfast is served until 12 noon. In this regard, people come evenly, for whom it is convenient, and do not rush strictly within a few hours, as is customary in hotels. I really liked this option - you can have time to go swimming before breakfast. That's exactly what I did - in the morning I went to the sea early, by 10 o'clock - for breakfast, and after - to the SPA complex...
What is in the spa complex? On the 1st floor: a heated pool with Dead Sea water, a jacuzzi, chairs with small tables, drinking water, 2 showers, a hammam, 2 small saunas: wet and dry, a gym, as well as women's and men's locker rooms with toilets, showers and lockers (boxes for storing things). You can use it for free, but a deposit is required - 50 shekels (1 shekel = approximately 11 rubles). It must be made at the reception desk of the SPA complex. Treatment rooms are located on the 2nd floor. The SPA complex is open (attention! ) until 22:0.5 times a week!! ! This is really a great idea and distinguishes this hotel from all the others.

I really liked the number. I had a deluxe room. A high wide bed, a sitting area with a sofa for two and armchairs, a wardrobe, TV, a free safe, a minibar, an electric kettle with cups and tea-coffee-sugar bags. The bathroom has a small hair dryer and a Jacuzzi (in a standard room - a bathtub). There are also slippers in the room, and bathrobes can be borrowed at the reception for a deposit of 100 shekels. For the SPA complex, you need to take your rubber slippers, as in any hotel, otherwise it is slippery. The rooms do not have balconies, but there is a drying line in the bathroom. I recommend that tourists take 2 sets of bathing accessories to the Dead Sea: one - to go to the sea, the second - to the SPA, because. one does not always have time to dry...
In the lobby there is a table with different types of tea, lemon, mint, sugar, honey, apples. After a dip in the sea or in the pool, it's just the right time to sit in this elegant lobby in a quiet environment with a cup of hot tea…
The Spa Club building has both a common with the Oasis building and its own separate reception. Near the reception there is a whole library with books in Russian. This is a real find for those who forgot to grab something to read from home... And who prefers the Internet, then it is free everywhere in the hotel. The password and login are written in the information leaflet, which is given upon check-in.
Here, in the desert, such a green area of ​ ​ the hotel seems incredible. It really looks like an oasis! In the evening, it's great to lie down and be lulled in a hammock. There is also an outdoor pool on site. It is as if hidden from the eyes of hotel guests - you have to climb up the path to get to it.
There is a shuttle to the hotel beach, but I have never used it, because it is very close on foot. The beach is open until 17:00, then all beach equipment is removed, the water is turned off, the lifeguards finish their work. Yes, and it is already dark at this time on the Dead Sea...
The day before departure, my door stopped opening, and after contacting the reception, the hotel employee came up to me in less than 3 minutes and gave me a regular key instead of a plastic card. But it turned out that there was contact, but the handle broke, so it was necessary to repair it. The employee volunteered to fix it, but I said that I was leaving the next day, and when the room was cleaned, he could easily fix the door so that the next tourists would not have such a problem.

I recommend the Spa Club Hotel to discerning travelers looking for peace and quiet. You can also feel the friendly attitude towards tourists, and the fact that the hotel is constantly looked after. Everywhere is very clean: in the spa complex, in the restaurant, in the lobby, everywhere you look... And this despite the fact that tourists regularly go to the beach and return with sand in slippers. For tourists who come for 5 nights through a travel agency, one massage is provided as a gift, as well as a glass of wine at dinner. For those who book 7 nights or more, the hotel also pays for transfers - from the airport to the hotel and back to the airport! This hotel is deservedly considered a four-star.
