This Spa has to be one of the best for just about everything. The position it is set in, in the Nature Reserve near Haifa, provides the most wonderful panoramic views and solitude. At night you hear the wolves and jackals and in the day the music of the birds. The facilities are wonderful - the classes given by very... more

First impressions were good: beautiful grounds, sober and modern architecture, well decorated public rooms. Then the doubts set in: average room (Tsameret category, with terrace), tiny and dated bathroom, good but not exceptional dinner (breakfast and lunch buffets are excellent), mixed feelings about the spa (good fitness room and Turkish hammam, average indoor pool and locker rooms). My main criticism... more

Do you wish you could go to a 5 star spa like those in Europe, but you keep kosher? Have no fear - the Carmel Forest Spa is the answer to your prayers. The hotel is a 5 star affair. The meals. The spa. The service. The cleanliness. All top notch. Breakfast is open till 11:00am and you can come... more

I just came back from doing the "Juice Fast" at the spa. It was a wonderful experience. I recommend the juice fast to anyone looking to restore their health. But I'm writing to recommend this spa. It was fabulous. It's all about relaxation. You are really isolated in a beautiful oasis far away from everything and put in this very... more

OK, I am difficult, I don't apologize. I am prepared to pay top money if it is worth it, but I won't pay a dime for something worth 4 cents. This spa is amazing. From the first meeting with the friendly check in staff to the departure, the people there could not be nicer. The rooms are clean, comfortable and... more

Have just spent 2 days at this hotel during a 2 week touring holiday of Israel. This is certainly the place to come to unwind and be fully pampered. I loved the idea that you could roam around the premises in your bathrobe, even in the restaurant at breakfast and lunch. My only concern is the amount of laundry. I... more

So much has been written about the Carmel Forest Spa, so I'll try not to repeat things, except for emphasizing things that we noted or reinforcing items. My wife and I were there for two nights at the 25% membership discount price, including one free treatment and 10% discount on other treatments. Coffee at breakfast is a waiting game, and... more

Better to go elswhere. We booked the hotel by contacting the hotel directly. However, they forgot to mention to us that most of the treatments were already fully booked. When we complained, the SPA manager told us that it's our problem that we book last minute and that he couldn’t do anything about it! Lucky for us (or maybe not),... more

My husband and I along with another couple spent two wonderful nights at the Carmel Forest Spa as part of a 10 day trip to Israel. We had heard wonderful things about this place and it lives up to everything we have heard. The rates include full board and the food is really exceptional. We had always thought about being... more
