We went to this hotel with my daughter 12 years old for the autumn holidays. Settled quickly, building next to the reception and restaurant. A lot of greenery. The room is not so hot, but clean, the beds are very comfortable and large. The food is normal, we have seen better, but we were not hungry. I especially liked the guava juice, super. There were practically no fruits - lemons (!!! ), dry grapefruits, pears (or guava? ), apples, 2 times there were dates, oranges, and then, this was not all at once on the counter, but changed every day - then lemons with apples, then grape with guava, etc. Coffee is nonsense, albeit from a coffee machine. There are not many waiters, apparently that's why you have to wait until the drinks are brought.
They write the truth about sunbeds - there are few of them on the beach, you won’t find free ones during the day with fire. I wanted to borrow at 8 in the morning - I didn’t succeed, the next morning I came at 7 o’clock - I found 2 (one by the sea, the other at the bar -)) and without an umbrella-(((But when I came at 6-45 in the morning, there were several free, and then not on the 1st line... As it turned out later, enterprising vacationers put towels on sunbeds in the evening (including foreigners).
Animation did not disturb during the day (due to its absence), the music did not scream over the ear. There is nothing to do in the evening. One table with tennis is always occupied. Take books.

Israel was taken from the excursions (1 day) and a boat trip.
Sea walk - I really liked it, the sea of ​ ​ ​ ​ extraordinary beauty and purity, so many living creatures, corals !!!! ! There is no reef on the beach compared to the sea.
I really liked the tour in Israel, however, it’s a bit tiring to ride the night on the bus -(((. Of course, there were some negative nuances: the unscrupulous guide did not warn that in Jerusalem the air temperature at that time was 17-18 degrees plus the wind !!! ! And at the meeting, when he was selling us tours, I specifically asked him this question, he said: it's warm there, almost like here. And before leaving at 11 pm, I asked about the weather again, the answer was the same: warm! with children, dressed like fools - capris and t-shirts. And in Israel everyone goes in jeans, jackets and boots! In short, he is a goat, not a guide!!! ! Everyone was very indignant. , for example, I bought a set (holy water, earth, oil and incense) there for $ 6, and in shops near the Church of the Holy Sepulcher the same - $ 2, amulets from $ 25 to $ 45, well, stuff like that. if you consider that I bought only $170 (and I'm not the only one), then the profit from the store is very good out of the blue. But the temples themselves in Israel and Palestine - it is necessary to see and feel the energy that comes from them... it is impossible to convey in words.
They also brought them to the Dead Sea, but it was already evening, it was cool and dusk, and the bathing turned out somehow so fast and not memorable. A shop by the sea with various products with Dead Sea salts. I bought myself a cream for hands and feet, 10 dollars each. each , very very good ! Such good creams were scrubs for the body and face, shampoos, masks for hair and face, the male line, however, is not cheap from $ 25 and above, but judging by the quality of the creams I bought, they are worth it. Now I regret that I didn’t buy everything -(((. So if you go on an excursion to Jerusalem, you should know that you need to buy all the souvenirs and gifts there, and not buy junk in Egypt.

In general, summing up, I want to say that a trip to Israel for me is the most vivid impression of this trip.
R. S. I wanted to drop a couple of lines, but it turned out a lot!
