Beach Hotels in Tel Aviv District, Israel

The staff at reception were terrible! From the very second we arrived, throughout our stay, everything we had to do with them was annoying and difficult. Partly probably due to some very strange rules (e.g we were asked to pay in advance for the rooms and not allowed to give a credit card number as security until we leave and pay with another card, which was not with us at check in, they also charged our card a security amount of €200 without even telling, let alone asking us before doing so). We’ve asked for a few things they might have for the children, and never heard back, including when we needed a thermometer for one of the children I called because I was alone with them and couldn’t go down to reception. I never heard back from them for over an hour and had to go buy one when my husband got back later on. These are just examples, it was like that with everything we needed or asked and they were generally unpleasant. Perhaps it was the overload of the second part of August? The concierge was on his mobile on a private call and we stood there for 5 minutes until deciding we better go out and get a taxi on our own. The list goes on and on....

Breakfast is very average ... I care more about breakfast, so it feels lowered overall! The room is very convenient to see the sea, very close to a famous market, there is a restaurant near the intersection is delicious! The hotel's general hygiene, it is recommended to bring your own boiler, sleeping bag, toiletries, towels, bring all! If I have a choice, I still recommend staying in a luxury boutique hotel in the ancient city

The most delusional negative experience we had as a family. We booked rooms for 2 families. On the day of the vacation, when all the suitcases and children were already in the car and we were on our way to the hotel, we received a call from the hotel and found out that the hotel had made a mistake in the rooms, they booked for us 2 rooms for a couple instead of 2 family rooms (as written in the invitation we received by email !!!). The hotel noted that they do not have other rooms for us, the rooms were canceled and we will get a refund. From the hotel point of view that was it! No responsibility taken, no sorry, no other solutions, that it. They Just said ”it was your mistake” thanks, goodbye . So, we got stuck on the way to Tel Aviv with children and luggage in the car, without rooms and without an alternate hotel on Thursday at afternoon. What is even more delusional is that we sent a letter to the hotel's customer service after a few weeks. We explained the situation and asked that at least the hotel will take responsibility for the mistake. After all, if we would cancel the rooms on the day of arrival, the hotel would have certainly charge us the money in full, without an argument. Unfortunately, to this day I have not received any reference to the letter even though I called several times and asked for a response. I was promised on the phone that the hotel manager will response, but as mentioned, we have not received any answer to this day. It is important to note that all telephone calls and the letter were made in a pleasant language, without shouting and without unnecessary quarrels. But unfortunately in our country, you have to ”turn tables” to get any response. In short, I never encountered such a terrible service. I strongly advise not to come to this hotel at any price. Such a hotel has no right to exist.

After my parents surprising myself wife and young son with a vacation to the Dan panorama, I was very excited after having great experiences in other dan hotels in Eilat. This all went downhill once we arrived into the lobby, where the staff were clearly not used to serving tourists who were not Covid patients, for some reason a simple request to have a baby cot or dressing gowns inside my bedroom felt like I had to beg for it to be done. Moving down to the pool where it has been nicely done up, however, reality struck how badly maintained the hotel is when you go to the pool bar where the menu is about a mile long with some impressive choices, where after deciding with the wife what to go for we were informed by a clearly miserable staff member behind the till that the only thing available was drinks. what a waste of time, that was until I requested a big plastic cup to which I was denied due to it only being given out with beers, not bad after spending a couple of thousand shekels in a so-called five-star hotel. I reassured my wife that the breakfast would make up for it all, coming down early in the morning as the Dan is world renowned for their breakfasts. To be very short it was a disaster, lack of choice, unhelpful waiters, A hot drink counter that could only pump out one type of coffee and the look on theor faces when I asked for a Hot chocolate they thought I fell off Mars. the last point which I did not like was the Bar in the lobby where the staff member Ruth was very pleasant however having a Bar without the ability to serve any form of cocktail but knowing how to charge fifty shekel for a orange vodka is beggars belief. Leaving off, this hotel needs a lot for it to be done in order for it to be considered a hotspot for people to come and to justify the huge price tag. A basic courtesy from the Dan hotel would give some sort of reason or compensation for this shocking experience.

Very good service and amazing location! Beautiful Sukkah and new porch outside of the newly renovated dining room. Breakfast was great! Thank you for a great family Sukkot vacation! Highly recommended

I have recently had 2 short stays at both the Dan Tel Aviv and Dan Eilat hotels. These are both top of the range prestige hotels of the Dan group. I was amazed to find such a difference between these two supposedly 5 star hotels. Firstly I should point out that the cost of one night in the Dan Tel Aviv for bed and breakfast is only slightly less than 2 nights bed and breakfast plus buffet dinner and return flights by Arkia at the Dan Eilat. I think this confirms what many previous reviewers have suggested that the Dan Tel Aviv is priced too high. While on the subject of cost, it might be worthwhile noting that in the Dan Tel Aviv if you by mistake use a plastic bottle of water they charge an exorbitant price whereas the glass bottles of water are free; at the Dan Eilat the plastic bottles are free. The Dan Tel Aviv no longer provides free newspapers; the Dan Eilat does. I was very surprised that the Dan Tel Aviv has no blankets or duvets in the room. We had to request two; they only delivered one and we had to request a second one. Quality five star hotels normally have something in the rooms during the cold weather. The Dan Eilat is very well staffed compared to the Dan Tel Aviv. For instance, there were 4-5 clerks at reception at the Dan Eilat but only one at Dan Tel Aviv. Some would say that comparisons are odious but I would suggest that the comparisons I have outlined of these 2 suposedly first class hotels, the Dan Eilat is far superior to the Dan Tel Aviv.Maybe the manager of the Dan Tel Aviv should visit the Dan Eilat to see how to manage a prestige hotel efficiently.The ''Best of the best” rating for the Dan Eilat is fully warranted whereas the Dan Tel Aviv is a long way off achieving this honoured status. Years ago the Dan Tel Aviv used to offer a daily first class business lunch. They stopped offering this after a 50% increase in price killed the demand. They also used to offer a splendid Saturday lunch which they have also stopped. I sincerely hope that my review may encourage the management to follow the example of their sister hotel and improve the service and value that they offer their customers.

At first glance, the sea net hotel in Tel Aviv looked great. The lobby is clean, it has a dining room, conference room, and ~65 rooms. However, with a closer look, there is chipping paint, an unwelcoming staff, and an elevator that works 50% of the time. Once we arrived in the room, we instantly noticed the smell. The curtains, beds, sheets, carpet, and entire room smelled of smoke. When we approached the staff to help irrigate the smell, they gave us the “cleaning spray” and told us to do it ourselves. This “cleaning spray” smelled even worse than the smoke smell. Speaking of the sheets, on my 4th night I found a used band aid in the bed, and my friends found feces and blood stains. The housekeeping in the sea net hotel needs work, and that is a fact. There was even mold growing on the walls and the keycards to the rooms stopped working. We were even locked out to the bathroom and we’re told to fix it ourselves. The inside of the elevator was clean only every other day and only worked sometimes. While in the elevator we decided to visit the other floors to see if they were as bad as ours, when we reached floor 5, we found that it was completely unfinished, the walls are not up, wires are everywhere, machinery is everywhere, and mattresses were covering the floor. The roof wasn’t much better. On the roof, there is an entire shed filled with mattresses and chairs. There is also an abandoned bar and the leftovers of a bar/ restaurant. We even found some alcohol in a drawer. Finally, the food. The breakfast eggs were watery, and “melted our insides with each bite”. The rest got eh breakfast food was dry and looked like it was made by 5 year olds and not professional chefs. The best part was the toast. The dinner was constantly a mystery meat and when we asked what it was, we were declined an answer. The rice that accompanied the meat didn’t taste real. Overall, the Sea Net hotel is a sad replacement for what it once seemed to be. It seems like it could become its former self again with lots of work. The management team needs to step it up and take a role in bringing this hotel back. The one saving grace of the Sea Net hotel is its close proximity to the beach and the beautiful sunset and sunrise views from the roof.

The 2300 hotel is similar to the domestic Samsung, with small rooms and poor facilities. Because it was a Marriott member, it was upgraded afterwards, but the area is the same and it is slightly renovated. There is a lounge upstairs, which is more confusing, and eats almost the same type as breakfast. Downstairs public beach. There are many restaurants and bars left and right from the hotel. Take a taxi to the station and Jaffa about 100 Shekels. Go to the airport 140 Xie Keer, come back from Jordan decisively choose to live in a bed and breakfast

Lets start with the good. Great location and clean, breakfast was very good. I lived in Israel for over thirty year so I am aware of the Israeli version of ”service”. That being said. We made a reservation at the sister property Leonardo beach hotel, with a sea view room. That hotel was then closed (COVID?) so we were switched to a ”comparable” sea view room at the Leonardo Art hotel for the same price. When were arrived we were informed that sea view rooms were reserved for suites only and that we received an ”upgraded” room- well, this room was a small, dingy, hovel. The price we paid for this hovel of a room was therefore outrageous. The desk staff were surly and when I asked a question she pointed to a handout and said ”its all on the sheet”. Another front desk girl was using an old handkerchief to repeatedly blow and wipe her nose while touching the phone, patrons keys etc... so much for hand hygiene during pandemic. How about a stairwell from the 3rd to 2nd floor barricaded closed by mattresses? Firetrap? (see photo) The safe in our room was obviously broken and eviscerated (see photo) Lastly there is very little signage to be able to find wither the back or front entrance to the hotel and the entrance smells like an open sewer. Just sayin... there are many better options on the Tel Aviv beach. We certainly will take advantage of them on our next visit.

As in all Tel Aviv there is parking problem but the hotel can organize a place gor 50 shekels ( 15 dollars ) a day. Very good location very nice hotel , good price good spa and pool , good breakfast. Recommended to travelers to Tel Aviv .

The environment is very good, the location is by the sea, and the breakfast is rich

Very good service and amazing location! Beautiful Sukkah and new porch outside of the newly renovated dining room. Breakfast was great! Thank you for a great family Sukkot vacation! Highly recommended

Room: Bright (in particular north facing) airy and very comfortable, daily service good. Balcony useful. Bathroom and shower good. All staff friendly and helpful. always happy to assist with large & small requests. Definitely the main reason we will return!! Lounge seating area could have more individual comfortable chairs Parking in basement a must-excellent and clean Pool area well located. Would be great to have much better dining-snack-light meal facility at pool! Access to beach - excellent WIFI in room is really poor-needs to be improved 100% Will definitely be our new base when visiting Israel - well done to all the personal!!

We've been there for a week end of May. This is a good place if you need to be around the area or you like go to the beach in Herzliya. It is a very busy area during working days and working hours. It is a high-tech center (Apple is there) and there are thousands of people and cars coming to work there. Good luck if you need to drive in in the morning or out at the end of the work day; you'll need some patience. Hotel is nice, well kept in general, but there are some issues too, as we will see. Room: our room was presented as ocean view; you can see the sea far away between the buildings in front, but that's ok; room was not very big but clean; TV was working ok; there is a small fridge, a kettle, cups, glasses, spoons, coffee and tea. They did room service every day and it was ok. There are LED ceiling spotlights but half of them were burned out in both the room and the bathroom. The A/C is quiet, works well and it's easy to control. The shower had a hand shower and a ceiling shower which was not working and the ceiling of the shower was peeling off as after a flood. Also, there was something weird with the shower: the hot water is fluctuating; it was changing from warm to very hot and back so you had to be ready to jump away not to get scalded. Breakfast: this is a very poor version of the famous Israeli breakfast. Some cut cucumbers, some tomatoes, some very unappealing cooked stuff; bread had no tool to pick-up and everybody is touching with their hands (there was guy that tried all the slices before he picked one - we were lucky to have eaten before). There are some unidentified unappealing soft cheeses in bowls, some feta cheese and a coffee machine that is running out of milk sometimes. Lobby: this is a nice place with lots of chairs, tables and places to sit to have a chat. There is coffee, milk and tea and cookies and dry fruits and even a big plate with a cake. Parking: they have a nice underground parking, clean and it even has background music, but there is something strange happening there: in the evenings and on weekends the parking is half full and most of the cars are rentals (as it should be in a hotel catering to tourists and people on business), but on work days, during the day, the parking is suddenly packed and all the cars are privately owned and not so clean either. So it looks like they are renting parking space during working hours to the people working in the area. And then, if you need to park during the day, they will tell you the parking is full and you cannot use it, as it happened to me once. So it means, that you, as paying customer have no parking even if it was promised to you when you booked your room (parking included), because they are double selling it to other people to make more money. And this is not right.
