We had 4 nights, booked via American Express which often leads to an upgraded room. We were lucky to be upgraded to a suite, room 813. This has a view down the beach rather than the marina. We were celebrating 40 years since we met and there were balloons in the room, a personally enscribed little cake, and quite amazingly a hand drawn picture of us, as well as a bottle of fizz. A really amazing and lovely welcome. All of the staff in this hotel are superb, particularly Ron and Iyzik on the concierge desk who were fabulous. Our room is showing signs of age, but it was very comfortable - particularly the bed. The area outside the hotel is a bit scruffy in places, but there are a good variety of restaurants and a very old fashioned supermarket which was useful. Breakfast was included in our booking - I wouldn’t have paid the hotel price as it is crazy expensive, but there was a great selection of food and the coffee was delicious. On checking out, we were given a glass of fizz - great touch. It is a way to the airport - 45 minutes. All in all, a nice stay, but I think we would stay further down the coast next time or toward Jaffa. About $750 a night for a suite - expensive but Israel is!
