Reviews of תמר על הים

Everything

The place was well-maintained, comfortable and situated in close proximity to the shoreline and market. The staff was exceptionally helpful and accommodating. I would highly recommend it.

Nothing

Tldr: avoid this place at all costs!! Scam artist Let's set the scene: I just got off from a 15 hr travel day and it's Friday afternoon in israel. Keep in mind starting early Friday evening in israel all public transportation closes and many other accommodations (like hotels, supermarkets, taxis, etc.) close. Anything that does stay open becomes much more expensive and is harder to find. I would also like to note that I keep shabbat meaning that starting after sunset i don't use my phone and I do not travel. Okay so first of all the building is a bit confusing to reach but I had my israeli friend with me and together we were able to find it. She was very kind and said she will wait until I call her saying I am in the apartment. The receptionists there were very nice and pointed me in the right direction. So far not too hard. The actual place is very old and creepy in the hallways, but again not my main concern. My main concern is when i got to the door. So the owner sent a message on booking.com stating that while the door is closed, it is not locked. Between my own knowledge of the hebrew language and my hebrew-speaking friend translating it i know for a fact that is what it said. Closed, but not locked. Well guess what is was? Both closed, and locked!! I tried everything, I quadruple checked that I was at the right door, clicked every button within a 10 foot radius of the door, pushed my whole body weight against the door, everything!! Okay fine, maybe it is a fluke. I tried to call him initially just with the regular phone app, but the service there is awful too. I connected to the wifi, because at least he already gave me the password, and tried to call him on WhatsApp. No answer. Tried again. No answer. I went back downstairs to see if the receptionist could help me. She explained that the hotel can't do much because he owns the suite so I have to speak with him.

The apartment itself is a nice relief after walking around the public areas of the 'hotel'. There was no soap in the kitchen or bathroom, but this was remedied. The beds were comfortable. The balcony has a nice view of the city/ocean and is spacious enough. It was mostly clean and welcoming inside the room.

The 'hotel' the apartment is located in is quite dirty. The parking garage smelled awful and was flooded, the plaza it is attached to is filthy, and the carpet floors throughout the hallways are gross. The couch in the room was stained and dirty. There were not enough bath towels for the three people booked (2 towels provided). This was remedied with a message to the host. There weren't any instructions on where the washing machine was located. It ended up being in the hotel hallway in a gross closet. No information on connecting to wifi. It also didn't have the water turned on or the dryer filter cleaned in months. The address listed on booking.com is not the address of the hotel. A little confusing. A couple of elevators were not working while we were there. It would be helpful to have a welcome booklet with key information.

Perfect location overlooking the Bat Yam promenade.

If you’re looking for amenities on-site, options are limited to a bodega and hairdresser. The spa seems to be out of commission.

This building is a bit old but this apartment seemed to be recently refurbished and new. Found it clean and well equipped. Bathroom amenities like a hotel, some coffee in the kitchen closet, a well sized refrigerator with deep freeze, two new Google TV's etc.

very good location, very clean, kind owner, we warmly recommend

Every thing was OK!!!!

Amazing view, very cozy and beautiful apartment

Truly beautiful one bedroom apartment with a wonderful view of the ocean! The apartment was well equipped without all new appliances. From the balcony we could view the beach and feel the awesome breeze. The location was great too, it was a 3 minute walk (though my son will argue it was only a minute:) to the beach and many restaurants and bars on the main road and transportation. The apartment located in a half running hotel so it’s not on its best but it doesn’t matter because everything else was perfect! The owner Hannan,was always available to whatever we needed, as well the lady in the front desk was so nice and will get us a taxi whenever we needed one! So all in all it was a great find and we loved it so much that we booked it again right before our check out! It will most definitely be our Togo to place!
