I was part of a group of almost 50 people. We stayed from Sunday to Thursday, Nov 27 in room 211. Our room was a suite in the main building, which means we had a bedroom, living room with dividing door, bathroom with toilet, sink and bath, and inside the bathroom, a separate shower stall. The living room contains two large armchairs which each convert into a bed, and a fridge. The furnishings were all very modern and very nice. When we arrived, at 18:00, we asked if the beds could be turned into a double bed, and two men showed up in a few minutes, stripped the bed, redid it as a king-size, and refused a tip. Each room contains a coffee machine, kettle, and safe. Our suite had two TV's, one next to the bed and one in the living room. There is free parking all throughout the hotel area, which includes the main building and a number of cabins, taking up a lot of space. The food is all kosher, there is also a supermarket on site, and a separate synagogue near the dining room. The swimming pool is indoors, heated, and semi-olympic in size. The entire hotel was very well maintained and extremely clean. It's right next to a kibbutz, which means there are lots of interesting places to walk around. Some of us went horseback riding, others climbed Mount Bental, and some drove to the Banias. The hotel organizes lots of varied activities from Thursday-Saturday. The mattresses are very comfortable, the room was extremely quiet at all times (good insulation), and at one point I saw a peacock strutting along one of the pathways. I was pleasantly surprised to find elevators in the main building and to the dining room, because this is hardly a given in a two-story hotel. The entire staff were amazing, clearly enjoying their jobs. The restaurant is a few minutes' walk away, but in inclement weather the front desk will send out little golf carts to bring the guests back to their rooms. We ate four breakfasts and three dinners. The food is extremely varied, so there's something for everyone. There is a restaurant called HaBokrim across from the lobby, which I am reviewing separately.
