Obviously, a hotel is rated based on its ability to stand up to the expectations. I would consider this a descent 3-star hotel given the amenities, but if rated against the expectation as a luxury 5-star hotel, it fails miserably. The service from the staff was quite good, but the hotel itself was a huge letdown. The selection of food... more

I feel ambivalent towards this hotel. On the one hand, it is pricy, and the rooms are unimpressive and not on par with 5 star standards. On the other hand, it is the best place in Eilat for a quiet and tranquil holiday, has an excellent staff, and is equipped with outstanding spa facilities. The Herod's Vitalis is one of... more

The overall experience was dissapointing - the hotel roooms are of a very poor standard and very much 2 - 3 star standard rather than the 5 star that you are paying for. There were cigarette burns on the carpet, the bath was peeling, there was a pervasive unpleasant smell of damp and the furniture was bric-a-brac. When we complained... more

My boyfriend and I went to Israel for 2 weeks this month and had the pleasure of staying at the Herods Vitalis for 3 nights. From our very arrival, everything was wonderful. The staff is super-courteous, the hotel lobby area is architecturally interesting and spotless and the views are amazing! At the first glance, the room didn't impress me, but... more

This is actually the second time we've been to vitalis, we were there about five years ago, and I remember it to be better. In general, the quality of the service is not up to par, I was told to get my own towels when I wanted to go to the beach, when I needed pool chairs and there were... more

My sister and I have just returned from a girly week at the Vitalis and have been buffed, toned and polished to perfection. The hotel is very luxurious, the spa treatments are of a very high standard and the therapists superb. We had a couple of small problems in the hotel itself (e.g. being shown to a double room instead... more

The herods was great. The hotel facilities are grandiose. The massages we got there were top shelf. The staff was helpful and the room was very nice. it was nice being away from all of the hotel guests while still being able to make use of all of the facilities. more

We have stayed at the Herods Vitalis Spa a number of times - the last time being this last weekend.. It is not the most luxorious hotel that we have ever stayed in, but it is the most peaceful. THe staff are extremely helpful, the food delicious and the spa treatments amazing. There is a small pool half inside and... more

What a nice treat to check into this exclusive adults only Spa Hotel in Eilat. Eilat was our second destination in Israel and we needed the relaxation and quality service, and found it at the Herods Vitalis. Not everything was perfect, but this is why this place was great, when things went wrong the staff and manager on duty would... more
