Weird that there are no reviews for this hotel yet. He "deserves" reviews! Well, I'll write first. I am not new to the Dead Sea, this is my third hotel. It all started with the fact that the Travellux company brought us to the hotel at about 12 noon, this is their usual practice. In other hotels, you had to wait no more than 1 hour, often less or not at all. Here we waited until 16.30, that is 4.5 hours!! ! To all questions we were told that "the room is not yet ready. " When they finally settled us, it turned out that everything was cooked for two, although we ordered for 3 adults. True, after the scandal at the reception, they brought us to the room "as a gift" 3 bathrobes without a deposit, which is always required. The room is very average, there was a dirty mirror in the bathroom, the bed linen is old, they didn't even change it every day! At the same time, the hotel is 5 stars! The food is also very average, however, as in most hotels: at first it seems that there is an abundance of everything, after 2-3 days you realize that you have already tried everything. Fruits: Sliced ​ ​ grapefruit and watermelon in the morning. In the evening only watermelons and sometimes melons. And it's high season! There are more fruits on Shabbat, but this is once a week. . Even on Shabbat, wine is put, in other hotels they simply put it on every table. And here it was necessary to come up and ask, but not everyone knew about it, so many did not come up. A very big plus for the hotel is its proximity to the sea and its own beach. The saltwater pool is located in an unair-conditioned room, so it is not possible to be there during the day. The usual pool is heavily chlorinated, just rectangular, there are a lot of sunbeds, but there is not enough shade for everyone. There is practically no animation, in the evening you die of boredom, because their "bingo" in Hebrew seduced only elderly Israelis. And since the hotel is on the outskirts, there are no more hotels in the area, there is absolutely nowhere to go. Summary: if you go to be treated and want nothing more, you can stay in a hotel. But there are also better hotels. For example, "Gardens", which, with its 4 stars, is far superior to "Sheraton". The "Gardens" has only one drawback: it does not have its own beach. But everything else is top notch!
