In short: i have hardly ever seen a more terrible reception desk in my entire life. Nil service, no help in finding restaurants - even denying a estaurant would exist, even if it is well know to all people from Eilat. The restaurant sub-manager was good, but as the rest of the staff wasn't even lifting the head upon an... More

This beautiful hotel is situated on the south beach of Eilat opposite The Aquarium. The cabins are built into the mountains, giving every room a balcony with a view of the Red Sea. The resort is built as a Thai village. This was my third stay over a Passover. The food was delicious, varied, creative and plentiful. I highly recommend... More

Having never visited Israel my wife and I decided to visit and booked with the Orchid Hotel (via Booking.com). It was an important trip as it was our 30th wedding anniversary and we wanted somewhere special. The Orchid Hotel had been highly recommended and we booked it in January, 2012. We received a confirmation of our booking, but to be... More

The exotic Orchid Hotel located on the Coral Beach. There are the Siam Wing, designed in Far Eastern style, and the Shangri-La Wing of deluxe villas. Our family room with a gallery was very comfy for 4 of us (suitable for two adults and two children) and designed in traditional Thai style. The balcony of our room overlooked the amazing... More

Stayed at this hotel just before Easter. Based loosely on a Tie Village them, the hotel is built into rocks on a hill and you can order took-took's to take you to your room or the pool area.These are electric cars but be aware that the maintenance staff use petrol ones and they are noisy. It is a few miles... More

On the positive side, this hotel is located south of Eilat, three kilometers north of the Egyptian border, far away from the Pharaonic monstrosities, scruffy shopping centers, and airport downtown. It is built into the sheer rock and you may just glimpse the sea from the terrace of rooms on the uppermost tier. There are bouganvilleas and palm trees. Birds... More

As I said, not a 5 star hotel. No promised sea view, not quiet because of the children pool renovations, dust all around and constant tuk-tuk car driving, loud music over the main pool. Everything is heard what neighbour doing. No bathrobe - only in Villas? And rustling bed linen-cant stand them. Ironing is in the room on the half... More

I chose the hotel as it was a bit away from the Eilat city, to spend quiet and relaxing time. As it was rather low season (February second week) resort was not full and rates were very good. All the rooms are like small houses with independent entrance, so you have a lot of privacy, nice back drop and view... More

I stayed here with my mom for 3 nights in Feb. A great place to relax in the off season - no crowds. The weather is warm - but not hot. Breakfast - excellent. Hotel staff - cordial - but you need to be clear in asking what you want done (including specifically requesting that they make up your room)... More
