I stayed at the Isrotel Yam Suf for a few days at the end of a long trip. What a great way to relax before leaving Israel! The hotel is a distance from downtown Eilat, but right by the beach and the coral reef. There's a dive shop on the grounds of the hotel, and SCUBA classes are offered in one of the 3 (!) swimming pools. You can also sign up for SCUBA or snorkeling tours of the coral reef. The room and all the facilities were beautiful, and the food was the best I've had at any Israeli hotel. The buffet on Shabbat was amazing! I also used Eilat as a starting point for a day trip to Petra, and the hotel prepared a really nice boxed breakfast for me to take along. If you want to hit the bars or malls in Eilat, there's a bus that runs at frequent intervals, or it's a 5-minute cab ride. There were lots of Israeli families vacationing here, so I'd definitely recommend it for families, but I think anyone would enjoy this lovely hotel.
