Categories

Cleanliness
9.2
Multiple reviewers repeatedly praised the hotel's cleanliness (e.g., 'מקום נקי', 'הכל היה נקי'), indicating a consistently high standard of housekeeping.
Service
8.6
Service is frequently praised with named staff (Sabrina at reception, lifeguard Sean, Rami) described as very helpful and kind, but there are notable complaints about slow response times, long waits at reception and for requests, and incidents like being charged for ice or a drink not received.
Location
9.5
Location and views are frequently highlighted as excellent (private beach, quiet, great view), many guests cite 'מיקום מעולה' and a pleasant setting.
Room Quality
8.8
Rooms are described as nice, spacious and well-designed, but some issues were reported such as AC not working for one guest, jacuzzi rooms lacking privacy, and an accessibility/room placement problem for a disabled guest.
Amenities
8.6
Pool and private beach are praised and considered strong assets; however there are negatives around the spa (one guest reported a minor injury after a treatment) and infrastructure complaints (tight/slow elevators). Parking was mentioned positively.
Value for Money
8.8
Mixed signals: several guests feel they received fair value ('מקבלים תמורה למחיר'), while at least one guest explicitly said 'Not worth the price' and others noted unexpected charges, leading to an overall slightly above-average score.
Food and Beverage
8.9
Food is generally praised — breakfast described as tasty and varied by multiple guests — but a few reviewers found the breakfast decline compared to previous visits or 'mediocre', so overall positive with some inconsistency.
Overall Experience
9.6
The majority of reviews describe a memorable and excellent stay ('מושלם', 'מעולה', 'Séjour exceptionnel'), thanks to atmosphere, service and facilities; a few negative incidents (spa injury, staff delays) slightly detract but do not overwhelm the overwhelmingly positive overall impression.

Luxurious hotel with hot sunny weather
Pros:

I last stayed there almost 50 years ago and it has been refurbished to be a top of the range 5* hotel in Tiberias, most probably the best in the town. Breakfast was a sumptuous buffet with a tremendous variety on offer. The seating around the pool was exceptionally comfortable and staff were always on hand to help.

The 11:00 AM checkout felt a bit too early, but we still thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Pros:

located right on the kinneret, easy to arive with public transportation. Dinning room was beautiful. Food was yummy. Room was spacious and clean.

Cons:

Did not use the hot tub and porch very much. its almost awkward to use given there is very little privacy from the rooms next door and balconies above.
