Traveled with kids in May. It turned out profitable. This year, the Israelis, for some unknown reason, lowered the price, as a result, a week for four, together with tickets from Moscow and back, came out to 2.000 dollars. In general, for Israel, especially for Eilat - it's really inexpensive. I booked a hotel through an Israeli website (in Russian, by the way). They ask for prepayment by card. It was a little dumb (usually, after all, an amount equal to the cost of one day of stay is blocked on the card, but here they were charged for the entire period), but everything turned out perfectly. Transfer was not taken. We flew to Ben Gurion. From the airport we went to Haifa to visit relatives. From there by bus (6 hours) to Eilat. The move went without surprises. Children are used to such things, we go to Europe by car every winter. And there are hauls for 9-10 hours a day. So we are no strangers, and the bus is comfortable, driving with stops.
We liked the hotel. Not to say, of course, that it fully corresponds to the 5 * category, but it is quite 4 *. Well, since we, Russian tourists, are used to the fact that hotels almost always overestimate the category, we didn’t pay much attention to minor negatives. The rooms are spacious, the views from the rooms are either Jordan or the pool and the sea. We got to Jordan : )
Clean, linen and towels are changed on demand, the staff is mostly polite, with the exception of Russian speakers, they seemed to take revenge on us for something. But we just beat them. If only some kind of tension was felt, we simply interrupted the conversation and turned to another. Thus, we protected ourselves from the ignorant. The food is plentiful, not super tasty, but very varied. We had 2 meals a day, which is quite enough for an adult. We still fed the children with lunch in restaurants or cafes.

The hotel does not have its own beach, just like many other hotels. But it didn't bother us at all. In the morning it was even nice to walk to the beach in the sun, which we have so little in Moscow. Sunbathing on the beach of the hotel "Dan". From which, by the way, when choosing a hotel, we refused, regretting $ 200. But in vain. "Dan" makes a very good impression. Anyway. Next. There are many excursions. Not very cheap, but some should be visited. King City for children, Oceanarium, dolphin beach. We did not go to the Dead Sea, we were last year. We didn’t go to Jerusalem either, we also visited last year.
It is convenient to travel in Eilat by taxi. Taki is not very expensive, adequate. True, one pretzel deceived us all the same. I took him to the Oceanarium on a long road and tore off twice as much. Well, figs with him, a taxi driver and a taxi driver in Africa, I hope he comes back to haunt him.
We really liked the pool. Really cool. Not huge, but not tiny either. Three baths. Adult, youthful with cascades and children's. There is a slide, but it works somehow strangely, we didn’t ride the children on it. Good service. True, we were refused to write down drinks on the room number, because. did not open a loan, but quickly and politely corrected the jamb when I went to the reception.
The children's town, which is especially noted in the advertising of this hotel as something unique, does not represent anything interesting. Let me tell you straight away, it's a scam.
I really liked the attitude towards children. Israelis are generally distinguished by their enthusiastically gentle attitude towards children. Animation was arranged for children, in general, it’s not clear at all. True, they gave "Shrek" and the children, in principle, understood the main line. Long story short, they love it : )

What did not like! Noise and din. The Israelis are very noisy. Some morons lived behind our wall, who one night did not stop whinnying like fucking horses. I endured for a long time, then got ready and went to beat the snout. But all my fighting ardor passed when they apologized to me very politely and with sincere regret a thousand times. Another time, below the windows, although we lived on the 11th floor, some freaks found out something among themselves, it was very unpleasant, I wanted to throw a bottle of water at them (a stupid act), but my wife stopped in time, limited a call to the reception. One more example. We are sitting on the veranda having dinner, an Israeli is sitting on the fifth floor and yelling something to his friend, who is sitting by the pool. And so they tore their throats for an hour. I remembered a joke: "But it was impossible to call... ". In general, this noise really loaded.
And so the impressions are good. I would recommend this hotel. Of course, fastidious and capricious snobs are unlikely to like it, but positive people will.
