Неожиданный Израиль Unexpected Israel

Wonderful quiet hotel! The food is quite decent. The staff is beyond praise. Especially former compatriots. There are no complaints about the room and cleaning. Traveled with my 18 year old daughter. The first two days she missed noisy parties and youth parties. But then, feeling the charm of the dead sea and the bliss of silence, I was very pleased. 95% of holidaymakers at the resort are local Jews who speak English but do not speak Russian. We actively used the pool complex and the SPA center of the Meridian 5 * hotel (one owner - admission is free). Went there in the evenings to listen to live music. An organized excursion was bought only to Jerusalem (+ Bethlehem in Palestine). They went to other cities as "savages" - much cheaper and more interesting. Bus schedule at the reception. It is better to buy a ticket at the entrance to the bus immediately there and back - more economical. Tip: before traveling to Israel - read everything that is on the internet about the country and places that you can visit - the trip will be much more interesting. In Eilat (on the Red Sea), be sure to visit the underwater observatory, but do not go to the movie - primitive. It should be noted that it is worth going to Israel to rest only on the Dead Sea - an amazing natural phenomenon. On the Red Sea it is better and cheaper in Egypt, and on the Mediterranean - in Turkey.
