The best place to unwind after all the sightseeing in Jerusalem! And only a 30 minute drive to Masada, which is one on the most beautiful and historic places on earth. The buffet dinner here is the best I have ever had. Get a jacuzzi room and watch the sunset. The beach is a one minute walk from the hotel. Stay here for the experience of a lifetime!!
We booked the president suite
Which is a lot more expensive than any other room or suite
Big disappointment from the suite
Air conditioning did not work when we arrived
It was fiz after two hours
And after fixed it was very very noisy
The dead sea is extremely hot weather you expect the air condition to be perfect. They did not renew water or fruits as promised.
The other part of hotel services were good spa food swimming pool.
Disappointing experience. Rude, unhelpful staff. Furniture old and worn, A/C barely cool the room. Amenities had weird hours and closed early. Ripped carpets, dirty curtains and walls. At the bar, a guest was told to pay for a peppermint tea bag—or bring one from her room! Security wouldn’t let me take the luggage cart upstairs, claiming he’d have to retrieve it himself. Lifeguard cleared the pool at 4:45 though it closes at 5, rushing guests everybody out, including elderly people that I felt sad for them. Zero hospitality. Definitely not worth the positive reviews. I won’t be back.
Nice place, good and plenty of food.
Pools are well kept.
Rooms. Halls are very dated
Staff is friendly

This is a property which is tired and needs a face lift. There are no toilets at pool level and our friend who used a mobility scooter was unable to access the pool as there were no ramps. On the other hand the food was outstanding and the staff were lovely. We would go again
Cute room with semi private pool. The private beach was nice. Food was good. Highlight was the sulfar pool. Did have an extra fee of 60nis though. 4 electric car chargers on premesis. Beautifully redone in the lobby.
The staff at Herods ( Dead Sea Israel) were the true stars of the show. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with genuine warmth and professionalism. Receptionist was very thoughtful and helpful.housekeeping was attentive to request.They truly went above and beyond to make my stay feel personalized and special.
