If you want peace and quiet and have no children with you - this hotel is just wonderful. The food, the staff, the service are really excellent. We arrived tired and tetchy after a long drive amongst the cannibalistic Israeli drivers. The reception, the receptionist, the valet chauffer, all were world class. Well done indeed!
The spa sadly, was very variable. Two useless massages, followed after a complaint, by a superb one. Not good enough at this level. The plumbing, when repaired, is excellent - but why do housekeeping not check the rooms properly?
Staff and management approachable and friendly.
The food is outstanding, and includes a huge array of salads. Sadly, all too often the flavours were drowned in sugary sauces, sugar - and salt, salt, more salt on everything! Hardly healthy, the chefs really need to come into the modern healthy world.
Telephones are supposed to be banned, thank goodness. At the pool, this is enforced and it is respected. Elsewhere - and especially the dining room - there was never anyone is evidence to enforce the constant strident talking and ringing. All the time. Why was management never in attendance to stop this like at the pool?
We so loved the hotel that we will try again, but if these matters - especially the telephones and food salt, are still strident spoilers, we will quickly check out.
We wish them well, if only the hotel management would be more careful, unafraid and aware.
