Surprising is the extreme distrust of the hotel to its tourists and the indefatigable desire to heat them financially. It starts with the fact that at the time of check-in, they certainly take a security deposit, while voicing 300 shekels, and by default they block another 2.700 shekels on the payment card account (allegedly for possible room-service services). If you do not have an SMS-informing service, then you will not know about it, and in the final payment upon departure, the second amount does not appear at the reception at all. Look for it later with your bank at home if the bank believes you.
Further, using the services of the hotel against an appointment with the room number, there will come a moment when the total amount of expenses exceeds the deposit of 300 NIS, then they will immediately refuse to serve you a drink or ice cream, and turn off the phone in the room until your deposit is replenished. Those. force you to constantly credit the hotel.
It is not clear at all - what kind of deposit can we talk about if you come to the hotel in advance having paid in full for accommodation and meals? The practice of paying for related hotel services in the world, as you know, is different - you write down all the expenses on your room account and you pay everything in full when you check out.

In general, without extreme necessity, you should not give someone a card for payment here, because. the risk that you
If you have paid lunches or dinners when buying a ticket, then at least once a week a non-working main restaurant awaits you. And you are directed to the Ranch House or a Chinese restaurant nearby, saying that you will have a free dinner there. This will be the case, but at the end of dinner you will definitely receive a check indicating the cost of the dishes eaten for free and will be offered to pay for the services of a waiter - 11-13% of the cost of dinner. Thus, you will once again have to pay for a free dinner. No one will warn you about this in advance.
On most sites where the description of the Isrotel Royal Beach hotel is placed, the hotel's own beach is indicated. This is actually not the case, Eilat hotels do not have their own beaches! You will only be given a towel at the hotel for going to the nearby beach. And the beach of the Isrotel Royal Beach hotel is located outside its territory, everyone can be there, it is reminiscent of Sochi beaches in the Soviet years in terms of filling density.
The sites indicate that the water temperature in the sea is about 24 degrees and you can swim all year round. In fact, the water does not exceed 18-20 degrees, because. The Gulf of Eilat has a depth of up to 2 km and the beach is constantly washed by deep cold currents.
If you need peace at night, don't dream about it while staying at the Isrotel Royal Beach. Until 3-4 am, numerous establishments on the promenade compete in the volume of enticing music (as a rule, the simplest three-note mumbling), and after 4 am, tables begin to rumble on the veranda of the hotel restaurant (it is located in the central part of the hotel’s inner territory and the sound like in a well between the walls of a hotel).
And, finally, if your plane takes off in the evening, then all requests for the opportunity to stay in the room for 4-6 hours after the check-out (for an additional fee) will stumble upon complete rejection and at 12 o'clock you will be aggressively put out.

I will never go to Eilat again.
