Probably the great hotel to stay at, although i enjoyed the stay the spa and the outdoor pools were nice and going around the city, I wasn't satisfied with the nightly events which are just some old music or Someth, overall great hotel!
08.06.2025 Guest
If you like Jaccuzi , it is not the place for you, because the jets are not working
Besides that, all is good

Great hotel. Location right in the center of the Dead Sea. Great service. Clean room. There are robes. Pools. The view from the balcony is super... I liked everything.
02.05.2025 Mila
We loved it! They were attentive accommodating and caring when we stayed. We keep kosher and Shabbat and it was important for us if food is acceptable by our American orthodox Kashrut standards.
And it was! For those that care: Overall hashgacha: Bikat hayarden
Meat and chicken- Badatz mehadrin Rav Shlomo Machpud which is high level for us and very acceptable! Produce- Mashgiach confirmed that teruma and maaser has been taken. Dairy- mehadrin Heksher. We enjoyed lavish foods and choices! Overall great experience!

The hotel is located close to the Dead Sea beachfront, with towels and gowns provided. Also available are spa facilities, pools, Jacuzzi, and a sauna. The all-you-can-eat breakfast and dinner menus made lunch redundant. A coffee machine with capsules in the room was icing on the cake!

We came to the Herbert Samuel Hod Dead Sea Hotel to celebrate my birthday and enjoy a relaxing spa day. The spa treatments were outstanding—the therapists were warm, professional, and made the experience truly special. The pool and facilities were clean, calm, and very relaxing.

Overall we had a wonderful time but I had a major issue with the following situation:

We added lunch on to our day package using our miluim voucher, and that’s where the experience unfortunately took a turn. Before our treatments, we wanted to get drinks at the spa bar, but it was closed. We were told to go upstairs to the hotel bar. When I asked about cocktails, the woman working there snapped that she doesn’t make cocktails, only the bartender coming at 3 does. When I came back to pay for my drink and my husband’s coffee, she rudely said “I know!” when I pointed him out—unnecessarily sharp for a hospitality setting.

We then went straight to lunch. I was wearing swim shorts, a shirt over my bathing suit, and a spa robe —modest and very typical attire for a spa guest, especially when lunch is part of the spa day package. There were no signs or staff at the entrance to say otherwise. Everyone there was in very causual clothing, shorts, jeans and t-shirts, nothing formal. Mid-meal, the same woman from the bar came over and told me I couldn’t wear a swimsuit or robe there. A manager followed and gave me a difficult time in front of everyone, claiming he had already told me that (he hadn’t—he wasn’t even there when we arrived). I was embarrassed and shocked at how poorly it was handled.

The spa staff later said when we told them what happened, “Wouldn’t one think for themselves that it’s not appropriate?” only after when we said our issue is with how it was handled, she agreed. But in many nice hotels in Israel, it’s totally normal to eat in spa attire if you’re coming straight from the pool or treatment. This hotel even had an outdoor enclosed seating area off the pool—they could have easily and politely offered that option instead of making me feel like I wasn’t being modest.

It’s a shame, because the actual spa experience was really lovely, but the lack of hospitality, poor communication, and unnecessarily harsh behavior during lunch really clouded what should have been a 100% relaxing birthday.

We went Passover week, so the hotel was very crowded, and the daytime staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. However, we really enjoyed the dining room breakfast (included), and the patios. Parking lot is small, so you have to get lucky to snag a spot (although it is free to park). The pool water feels chilly, pool towels are hard to get, and lunch options are limited. The dinner buffet was $35 USD per person, so we walked to the Ein Bokek Restaurant (seriously good hummus) for a cheaper meal most nights. I agree that this place has the look of luxury, but is missing the extra service elements to justify the high price (slow check in, poor towel service). Overall, this still might be the best option for entry level luxury, and the location on the water is excellent.

The room was old but preserved ok.
Good beach access. SPA was ok (basic) but the food was the worst I have ever seen! Worst ever from all the hotels/hostels I have visited. Didn’t expect that from this chain.
11.03.2025 LEVYMARC
Overall positive.
The bar menu is too limited.
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
Think about what you would like to know if you were looking for a review about a place to relax. Please describe in detail what you liked and what you didn't. What would you advise to other guests and to the hotel owner. The more fully you tell about the hotel, the easier it will be for other people to make a choice and they will be very grateful to you!
