The privacy, the location, the desert, the hot pool

Superb Good variety Excellent coffee

Nothing

Location, facilities, cleanliness, staff all excellent

Wifi is a bit iffy so don’t plan to work while you are there but perhaps that’s the whole point

The property looks good and very clean. The private “pool” isn’t a swimming pool. It’s more like a jet bath.

The location. It’s too quiet for my taste.

The suite was super clean and inviting. The warmed up pool is awesome. Breakfast was trendy and super delicious and the staff was very welcoming. We really had an amazing vacation.

The distance between the suites could have been more distant in order to prevent music noise from other suites. But it wasn't a biggie. It's still an awesome place to stay!

Since my first visit in 2018, the place has become a bit run down. Saggy mattresses. The rooms still don’t have decent blackout shades to protect your sleep from the strong desert light. Light pours into the room from sunrise. The thinnest most basic towels. And a 75 NIS per person charge for breakfast is offensive in a country where the Israeli hotel norm is a free bountiful meal with so many delicious salads and breads to chose from.

The owners were very stingy about granting us late checkout and it did not feel good. After visiting Zman Arava three times, you would hope that the patronage would be result in a bit of flexibility. Especially with a 3:30pm room check-in policy.
