Here are five of the very best Dead Sea hotels, at least according to TripAdvisor.com, the top travel review site with over 45 million traveller reviews. We're inclined to agree with their rankings, it has to be said, though there is certainly room for a Top 10!
As you can see, the list doesn't necessarily include the most luxurious hotels, but those most highly rated. Which is a great way to find a great hotel, right?
The Top 5 ranked hotels in the Dead Sea, as of May 2011, are:
Lot Spa Hotel
This 4 star hotel is deservedly ranked number one of all the Dead Sea hotels. The Lot Spa hotel has its own strip of beach, its own unique spa service and top quality attention to guests. It might look a little aged from the outside, but what can we say, never judge a book by its cover.
Rates: Hunt around on the web or for a good travel agent, you may well be able to get a room for around $170.
Isrotel Dead Sea Hotel and Spa
Another 4 star hotel that has a private beach just a short walk across the road from the hotel. Most recommend the service highly (with the odd complaint), and it seems to be a great spot for a relaxing, romantic vacation. Common feedback is "Good food, nice rooms, and very clean" plus great reviews on their spa.
Rates: Seem to start from $210, and can peak at $400+, but it's worth hunting around online for deals.
The Masada Hostel
This is the place to rest your head if you intend on trekking up to the top of Masada at sunrise. Easy to get to thanks to local bus routes, just watch out for the school groups! Great food, though you have to pay extra for dinner. There's a swimming pool too (in season). Don't forget, this is a hostel, not a hotel...
Rates: Seem to be $35+ for a dorm bed and around $100 for a double room. Prices include a good, hearty breakfast.
Royal Rimonim
Quite possibly the most attractive of all hotels in the region, this place has apparently improved service a lot recently and guests seem very satisfied with great food, a spa and great, spacious rooms on offer. The staff seem to have taken complaints seriously over recent years and things are MUCH better. There are 420 rooms, each with a private balcony.
Rates: Seem to be in the $190-$300 range.
Spa Club Hotel
Surprisingly, this hotel has no balconies facing the sea, but it more than makes up for it with beautiful spa facilities. Perhaps they assume you're going to be spending more time in the spa rather than your room! Kids under 16 not allowed.
Rates: A little more expensive, with rates between $210-$370.
