Ein Gedi Kibbutz Hotel

Ein Gedi is a fantastic location from where to explore the surrounding area. The Kibbutz is lovely, the Hotel offers a charming glimpse of kibbutz life, and the Spa is highly recommended. Service is good, staff are friendly and accommodating, and prices are reasonable. Dinner (a hearty open buffet affair) and breakfast (which saved our lives after hiking up Masada before sunrise) are taken in the kibbutz dining hall, and give a homey feeling of being part of the community. Thank you for a great weekend sleepover!

The room and bathroom were fine; breakfast was excellent; the spa exceeded my expectations.

We really enjoyed our stay at the kibbutz. The hotel is located within the kibbutz, which is an experience in itself. Within the kibbutz there are a number of facilities like a pool, a spa, and a number of restaurants and bars. Not all of these facilities are part of the hotel but can all be accessed by the guests. Location is great, just a few minutes drive away from the Ein Gedi national reserve, and about 20 minutes to a nice beach by the Dead Sea and Masada. We enjoyed the spa, which also has a pool with Dead Sea water, an outdoor pool, and complimentary tea. Breakfast was great - Israeli style with a huge variety of food options. We enjoyed dining at night outdoor under the baobab trees.

Absolutely gorgeous location. We had a balcony overlooking the 'fault cliffs' of the Judean desert, with a glimpse of the dead sea as well. It was just magical. The room was bright and airy, lovely comfy beds, very clean. The staff was helpful. The breakfast was generous and varied (as one expects at good Israeli hotels!) The hotel has wonderful grounds with unusual trees planted everywhere, and ibexes visiting from the surrounding desert. We didn't want to leave!

The room with balcony was comfortable, clean, well-furnished with small fridge and coffee making station. The bathroom was beautiful with walk-in shower as well a tub. Nice fluffy white towels and bathrobe. I loved being able to go for lots of walks, and was able to enjoy the spa a couple of times including treatments. Especially enjoyable was a walk and tour of the botanical gardens with one of the Kibbutz members. I appreciated the assistance from the front desk staff in arranging a local driver to take me to several local archeological sites and national parks including Masada. The food was outstanding and beautifully presented as a buffet.
