I stayed for two nights at this supposedly 5 star hotel, but it really doesn't deserve that ranking. We should have recognized the omens from the beginning -- we booked via the hotel website, including a couple of requests and questions in the designated section in the web booking form. They responded with a room confirmation, but without answering our... more

We have just returned from 2 weeks in Israel, 3 nights at this hotel. The biggest disappointment was this hotel (room and service). It was cold in Eilat and the room had no heat. They promised us to look into it and it never happened. One day they forgot to leave us towels which was fixed later and In addition... more

The ORchid hotel is in a beatiful setting - about 5 km south of EIlat City Centre. The location is perfect. A short walk to an amazing coral beach - where as a hotel guest you get free chairs and snorkel rental. In fact the hotel should take the staff from the beach to run the hotel - fantastic friendly... more

We stayed in this hotel 3 days in August for a special occasion that we had planned many months before. So we came with a lot of friends and family (around 15 rooms). We shared the beautiful royal villa at the top of the hotel with 3 other families. The site and the villa are gorgeous. There is a small... more

We were at the Orchid in the offseason, so it was not that crowded and very relaxed. We were very pleased to find that the hotel was out of the way of the honky tonk downtown Eilat and the characterless hotels across the lagoon. Contrary to what the website implied, there was no water view from our standard room, it... more

This review is a long time coming - we visited the Orchid for 3 days last summer, but I've been meaning to write it since then. We stayed in one of the individual villas at the top of the property set amongst the granite walls of the surrounding mountain. The room was amazing with a wrap around deck, jacuzzi pool,... more

The facilities are lovely but the place is not managed properly. Go to the Princess nearby for a better experience. This hotel is trying to cater to the ultra religious and offers absolutely no help to satisfy the guests. For example there were thorn bushes that had thorns on them that were whipping in the wind and cut my girlfriends... more

The hotel has a nice theme-the thai theme which adds to the experience. The Scenary is beautiful and all rooms have great views. Pool is somewhat small though doesnt feel overly crowded even though it was the peak season and the hotel was fully booked. The downside is the small details: some plates in the dining room were not 100%... more
