This is a hotel that I say is an "experience" stay. Don't go for luxury or high thread count sheets. Go because you have a breathtaking view of the sea of Galilee, and it is a good price. Great place for people to stay who have never been to Israel. Incredible views.

Being a part of a pilgrimage group of around 40 pax ( last May 2010), checking-in into this medium-sized hotel can be a mess...but the reception did manage the check-in procedure well. Immediately , they served a welcome drink. The lobby (70's design ) allows in, the cool weather and the open patio shows the glimmering Sea of Galilee, just a wonderful welcome. Rooms were average though, small and basic toiletries, no coffee/tea... but again since we got a room facing the sea, my room-mate and I had a great time meditating before sleeping and upon waking up.
Because of the hotel's size, going up & down wasn't much of a problem ( I like taking the stairs).like when I have to get a cup of hot water or a hair-blower from the front desk (available upon request...but they don't have much...so one has to wait if ....Ugh ! ).
The frontdesk people were friendly, except the bellboy/roomboy, who's been banging our luggages.It was a bit annoying but it did happen too on the next hotel we've checked in, more so at the airport and at the border in Amman...Oh well !
Breakfast and dinner were served buffet-style and it was good, nice presentation , if you happen to be one of the first on line...only then very simple desserts...nothing that I would distinctly remember.....plain squares and jellos.
It was nice to walk around the neighborhood, get more view of the sea and the locals.

words can't describe this hotel! it's obvious that there are higher quality hotels with more facilities and whatever, and i have been a guest in such hotels, but there is something magical in this one that will just make you want to come back over and over again!
it feels like home, with all the luxury one can ask for the price,
great sauna and jacuzzi, wonderful all new pool (built last summer) and gym,
very good food that will meet most peoples need and wants with a very rich buffet breakfast, and of course an amazing view to the sea of galilee.
but what really makes it that great is the feeling of home. the way that the staf treats you and the vibe in the air, it's just comfortable and warm.

I arrived with both of my parents and my younger sister for the holiday, we stayed three nights over the weekend and we have no complains.
i can't wait to go back and meet everyone again, we made friends within the working staff and even the owners that treated us like family and made us feel just like home!
i'm happy to discover that such place exists 3 hours driving from my house and i will defenitly go back again soon!

if you have some sort of transportation or on a tour, this is a good hotel to consider as it is in a quiet neighborhood. at the time of visit, they are constructing the pool so the view from the lower floors are of the workmen and the construction. the room is good sized and basic but clean and has a tub as well.

i did not find any fresh fruits in the breakfast buffet but it had a good selection of dairy, breads, yoghurt and the like.

internet is paid though.

worth to consider checking out the store inside the hotel for souvenirs at competitive prices as well as some silver and gold jewelry.

across the street, you can check out kaballah center for some through provoking books and good quality jewelry at affordable prices.
