The beach area is a nice part of the Israeli coast. The sand was not combed when we were there-there are cigarette butts, plastic cups. A single shower area. Hotel staff showed up with towels only at 09:30 AM! Also life guard service ends at 18:00, although there is daylight until almost 20:00. We reserved a family unit which is quite spacious but run down. Old furniture, drab curtains, "kitchenette" consists of small fridge, electric kettle and sink. Sheets are good quality but pillows and towels less so. We felt that the room was over-priced for what is offered. The yard is nice-but grass was only cut the day we left. There are picnic benches scattered around and each unit has a lounge chair and very nice hammock. Our family unit was at the very end of the area and although it's not a long walk it was quite difficult in the heat with a toddler. There's a nice selection of food items and beverages at the breakfast buffet. I suggest to get there early, otherwise quite crowded. Dining room staff was helpful and provided booster chair. Desk staff is friendly (Noor and Yael -thank you!) but they can certainly use more people at check-in and as "bellboys". One evening there was an enjoyable bonfire on the beach with hot drinks, baked potatoes, corn and marshmallows.
