Ein Bokek hotels & places to stay

This is one of the nicer hotels in Ein Bokek. The rooms were spacious and had great views over the dead sea and desert. We loved being able to walk 10 minutes to the private sand beach were we could float in the dead sea without having to walk over rocks or take a shuttle back to the hotel. The breakfast buffet was huge with lots of variety and they kept it clean and well-stocked. Our only complaint was with the staff... they were rude and unprofessional. The ones who did speak English, didn't seem to know anything we asked about. The only helpful staff were working security outside. When we checked in, there were no towels in the bathroom. The maid, forced us to leave our room so she could clean it around her schedule but forgot to leave us towels. The next day, no one even came to clean the room. I understand that it is a big hotel with lots of people to accommodate but that doesn't excuse rude staff. Also, the 1st night, they had a concert in the lobby with very loud music till midnight. We were on the 16th floor and heard the music loud and clear! All in all, we would stay there again since the facility itself was nice.

Hit or miss service and spa treatments. We left clothing by accident in the room and didn’t get it back despite multiple emails and calls. When we pulled up to hotel security was rude and told us we couldn’t unload our luggage for checkin so we had to park on a dirt lot out back and haul our luggage in. Only stay if you can’t get in somewhere else and you need a hotel to hike Masada- but try ein gedi reserve or somewhere else,. we waited 15 min to order drinks at pool bar and gave up and went somewhere else. We tried indoor bar - same thing so we had lunch and dinner outside hotel w similar experiences, ein bokeh is just not great overall.

We were at the Dead Sea for 2 nights. Firt night we stayed at a different hotel which had 4 stars on Agoda apparently... it was a mess! did not like it at all.... so when I saw that Crowne only had 3 I honestly did not know what to expect. I was wrong though... it was 10 times better than the other one.. big and modern room.. incredible view and very clean. We were called by Public Relations in the evening to check if everything was ok and she was so nice, she even offered us free beakfast ( we were 3 women) as we did not includ breakfast in our booking. Needless to say I was very pleasantly surprised and I would definitely book it again.

We had booked very late and were looking for a hotel with friendly staff and clean rooms. We could go on foot to places of interest and found some nice restaurants nearby. Since it is not that far from the beach front, we were able to walk from the hotel. The area is also fine and not noisy, and the hotel easy to find. Next time will book in advance to avoid surprises.

This hotel is great in every way---amenities, breakfast, service, spa, cleanliness. We had a super lovely room, 2 Queen sized bed, a jacuzzi and a balcony ---- one could not ask for anything more. Another plus for the hotel---- the 4 elevators were so efficient--never waited more than 10 seconds and the hotel was totally full. My husband went for the mud wrap treatment and said the therapists were super. I enjoyed the salt water pools---indoor and outside- and the public jacuzzi . All in all, this was a terrific vacation and the hotel made it so. PS--We read other reviews that were less than complimentary and wonder how they came to those conclusions. This Daniel Dead Sea hotel was 5 star all the way.... And when we did a hotel run walking north one evening, we were so happy, after seeing the others, that we had chosen the Daniel. The next evening we "drove" south to see the other hotels and again were glad the DANIEL was OUR hotel.

At the time of this writing, Holitel Tsell Harim Dead Sea was the cheapest or nearly the cheapest hotel in Ein Bokek/En Boqeq. The photos may make it seem to have charming accommodations and great access to the Dead Sea. The rooms are practically windowless. The Dead Sea access is not pleasantly arranged. Nothing in this hotel is visually pleasing. There is no worse food to be found at the Dead Sea; however, there is little food much better to be found there either. It is, however, inexpensive and clean.

Ein Bokek is a bit like a slightly upmarket Benidorm. Lots of big hotels. Nothing else. The hotels are the large ‘resort’ type things of package holiday fame. The facilities are ok, nothing special definitely not 5 stars. A slightly shabby 4 really. Worst thing was the beer was off in the bar (literally gone off, cloudy and yuk). The best thing was definitely the inclusive breakfast. Delicious.

We spent three nights at this hotel at the beginning of February 2016. Having visited the Dead Sea on several occasions, the quality of hotel is particularly important to us as there is so little to do in the evening and the Ganim did not fail to deliver. The bedroom was clean and very spacious overlooking the Dead Sea and the staff were welcoming and, at all times, courteous and efficient. The buffet breakfast was excellent, as was the evening meal, although we only took this on our last night. Given there are so few food outlets in Ein Bokek, we will certainly consider taking half board accommodation when we make a return visit. The weather was too cold, at least for us, to use the outdoor pool, but this didn't bother us because we were more than happy with the indoor Dead Sea pools, jacuzzis and sauna! On our second night we were treated to some excellent entertainment in the form of a female duet - sadly, we don't know their names - but they really were very good and versatile and would put any X Factor winner, let alone finalist, to shame. If we have any complaint whatsoever, it is one which really was beyond the control of the hotel so we made no mention of it at the time - the bedroom had connecting doors to the room next door and we had the misfortune to have noisy neighbours. The 1.30am disturbance, however, was soon resolved by a loud knock on the connecting doors and an equally loud 'shut up' in Hebrew! This did not, though, detract from our level of satisfaction with the hotel and we shall be looking to make a booking for six of us in June - assuming we can get the same value for money.

Not much hotel option in Ein Bokek, construction sites around. This hotel is the highest budget among this trip but the room quality is the worst. I book a seaview room but be placed in a room face the opposite building and only see a narrow sea (heart broken), so went to front desk and luckily end up get a much panoramic view room. Some people said better do half board but I do not recommend because you can get some simple food like pizza, coffee and McDonald nearby. The location is wonderful, you can enjoy the public beach with free shower facility and rent a beach chair at only 10Shekel. The hotel also with indoor dead sea water swimming pool in warm temperature which is the best facility we think. Car park is free of charge.
