    The machines at the gym were a bit old and but nothing too bad.

    A truly unique hotel with an inspiring blend of art, music, and stunning architectural design, enriched by fascinating history. I highly recommend joining the guided tour offered to guests. The breakfast was excellent, with plenty of delicious options to choose from. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and the view from our room was absolutely beautiful. Great pool and spa.

    The hotel is one of the most beautiful places that I have seen for a long time. The view is so amazing and peaceful from many terraces as well as from the room that I've received, the swimming pool is amazing and also offers an exceptional view. The hotel offers a really high level service (clean, organized). All the staff is very professional and does everything to make your stay pleasant and comfortable everyday. The food is great and the products are of very high quality at breakfast and diner. You can eat outside with one of the best views. You have great vegetarian options too and the restaurant staff is excellent. I also recommend to experience one of the massages at the spa! And finally I want to thank Victoria at the front desk who has welcomed me very warmly and who has made my stay unforgettable. I highly recommend staying for a few days and I will definitely come back!

    The only problem is not particular to this hotel. This happens more and more in Israel, in Europe . They carpet-bomb you with requests to do your check in, to upload documents, they offer upgrades , they want deposits for “incidentals””. They justify this with “streamlining your check in” when in reality they are making the traveler (who has no time to waste on this ), do their job . Hire people . You want faster check ins, get a lot of people to man your front desk . I am on VACATION and this do not want to waste half an hour inputting passport info and reading e mails

    The property is beautiful, in a beautiful setting . A little “in the middle of nowhere” but is is a great luxury alternative for the northwest of Israel . The people were super kind and were tuned to any whim or wish

    We were initially placed in a bungalow, where the sun streamed in early in the morning due to the windows and curtain design. We spoke to the staff and were moved to a different room, the staff handled our complaint quickly and respectfully.

    Food was delicious, facilities are amazing!!

    The service was surprisingly bad even for Israel, where we are used to expecting 3-star service in a five-star hotel. First of all, the art collection tour was unavailable because “the only woman who does it was on vacation”, and there was no information in English about the art collection whatsoever. Why not make an audio tour? It is not 1968 anymore. The waiter in a restaurant tried to convince us that still wine was sparkling. They didn't clean the area around the swimming pool. The bartender was not familiar with the concept of still water. I quote, “Just say water if you want water.” The service was not bad. The staff was friendly in a way. It was just like they never had any training. Like in the “Lord of the Flies” novel, it seemed like the staff just appeared on the property on an island and started to run it like they wanted. Although the chef was really good and the buffet was one the best I have ever experienced in my life.

    The property is very well designed in a unique style of Israelian constructivism of 1968. It has an impressive art collection. The nature around is fascinating.
