I can see why families and large groups like this hotel. The price was reasonable. Our room had space for a sofa bed. The restaurant had options for the whole family. The hotel has a great pool out back. But traveling as a couple, this hotel wasn't a good fit.

We were happy with our room. It wasn't too small and was reasonably clean (minus some snack food under the couch left by a previous guest). The hotel was just a short walk to the Dead Sea and a shuttle was provided.

Our issue was meal time. The cafeteria style eating arrangements were not conducive to a relaxing dinner, and no other options were available. We had to hunt down the glass of wine we theoretically had paid for in our all-inclusive package. At breakfast we found ourselves competing with kids grabbing food in their hands from the line. We stood in line for coffee. And the food was mediocre. We left early because we couldn't bear to eat the last meal we paid for in that space.

Additionally, the staff was hit or miss. Some were friendly (the front desk and greeters) while others seemed inconvenienced when asked to do their job (the bar staff).

Overall, this hotel was so-so and not great value for money.

i went a lot of time in dead sea area and two times i was in Leonardo hotel. one of the time my wife left medical glasses in the room. when we go for take them back the security said that they donn't find them? nobody can wear them? it is for us a big money damage. no apologize at all. the spa is the best in dead sea area hotels.

The Leonardo Dead Sea is part of a chain of four Leonrdo hotels in the dead sea. It is situated on the slope of the hill and not on the beach, but it is closed to Leonardo Plaza, situated right on the beach, and you can walk, drive or thake a shuttle to this facility - free for the Leonardo guests. Room are spacious, very comfortable, facing the Dead Sea. A wonderful experience. Parking problems to people coming with cars!

This hotel is flooded with tour busses. Makes you wonder how good these tour companies are if they willingly board their guests at this place. The best thing I can say about this hotel is that the rooms are spacious. The hotel is run down and in urgent need of maintenance. There was a pile of broken wall board in the hallway for the two days we were there and no one cleaned it up. The food was marginal, at best, and at breakfast you had to wait in line for coffee. The staff is surly and would rather talk to each other than serve you. We waited in line for at least 10 minutes to get a glass of wine we could take out on the deck to watch the sunset. The sun was set by the time we got anyone to pour it. It would have been nice to have been served on the deck but apparently that's not how they do it. No one answers the phone at the desk. The spa looks more like a place for a colonic than a massage. The outdoor pool is lovely but freezing. It might be better in the summer. All in all, this hotel did not add to our Dead Sea experience.
