Herods Palace Hotel 

PROS * Major gigantic big large hotel * Located on the beach and at the Jordan border * Located in a row of other major gigantic hotels and next to the Jumbo Greece/Kings City retail/wholesale store and near the horrendous and grotesque Ice Mall shopping complex * Nice, unique, special and luxurious * The style and theme is ancient Egyptian and Middle Eastern archaeological excavations and the walls are designed to look like ancient historical sites such as nearby Petra, and even the elevator framings are in the design of ancient Egyptian tombs (see my “helpful” 👍 photos 📷) * An elegant amazing place * Food is very good and very plentiful and it’s very nice a walkway over waterways to get to the dining hall * The rooms are OK. * The bed is really really good and really nice and fluffy and done well * Paid parking lot managed by the hotel is located across the street * There is an area of a massive humongous candelabra which is hung in the lobby from 12 stories high, with a walkway on the 11th floor * The lobby has an open atrium for the entire 12 floors * There is a walkway on the eleventh floor, connecting two hotel towers and providing a broad view of the city of Eilat on one side and epic panoramic views of the Moab Mountains of Jordan on the other side, and of course a scenic outlook to the Red Sea and the borders with Egypt and Saudi Arabia * The cleaning crew does a very good job, as well as the maintenance crew/ everyone and everywhere * a very nice large size super clear and clean (greater than) Olympic size pool * Easy and super close access to Red Sea beach CONS * The Herods complex is located at the very end of the row of massive large high rises northern beachfront hotels- nothing beyond that except for the Jordanian border frontier * One can easily hear all of the water, the flushing in the shower, so clearly clearly from any of the adjacent rooms “I VISITED THIS PLACE”… … because we went on a long weekend with Frame and Nome (and others). We enjoyed it very much. WAS IT WORTH THE COST? Yes WOULD “I VISIT THIS PLACE” AGAIN? Yes ADVICE from IVTP This is a very good and very desirable place to stay, except that it is at the very end of the row of hotels
