How to choose a spa hotel at theDead Sea
Hello, dear friends! Sanatoriums.com team visited Ein Bokek resort in Israel at the Dead Sea coast. And in this article we will tell you how to choose the right hotel in this resort. We will compare Ein Bokek hotels on our website by such criteria as: location in relation to the Dead Sea, level of comfort and quality of food.
Features of treatment in Ein Bokek resort
All customers coming to the Dead Sea, staying at any of the hotels, are treated at the "Dead Sea Clinic". The clinic advises a doctor, who after examination and interview selects an individual treatment course. Here, in the clinic, there is an opportunity to undergo cosmetic procedures as well. However, the most important thing in Ein Bokek resort for the treatment of major groups of diseases (such as skin diseases, diseases of the musculoskeletal system and respiratory system) is the climate, the uniqueness of which is determined by its location - 400 metres below sea level. It is the lowest city on the planet!
Ein Bokek's air is low in humidity (from 7%), it is saturated with oxygen, and a kind of dome, which is formed from the Dead Sea vapor above the trough where the resort is located, saturates it with minerals. The air in Ein Bokek is effective in treating patients with bronchopulmonary disease, and the dome described filters out the sun's rays by passing the radiation with a wavelength that allows patients with skin diseases to take sunbathing for many hours without getting burns. The unique composition of sea water allows to have therapeutic effect not only on the skin, but also to achieve muscle relaxation and natural extension of the spine. It is for the sake of climate and natural factors that patients have been coming here for many decades.
Hotels location
Let's move on to the location of the hotels. The first line hotels that are closest to the sea include:
- Spa hotel "Herods" – 50 meters
- Spa hotel "Leonardo Club" – 60 meters
- Spa hotel "Crowne Plaza" – 60 meters
- Spa hotel "Lot" – 70 meters
- Spa hotel "Hod Hamidbar" – 80 meters
Now, here's a list of second line hotels:
- Spa hotel "Isrotel Ganim" – 170 meters
- Spa hotel "Isrotel" – 200 meters
- Spa hotel "Prima Oasis" – 200 meters
- Spa hotel "Daniel" – 250 meters
- Spa hotel "David" – 400 meters
- Spa hotel "Leonardo Inn" – 500 meters
- Spa hotel "Leonardo Plaza" – 600 meters
Distance indicated for walking. Please note that the hotels on the second line are not much worse than the hotels on the first line in terms of location. Let's explain why! From hotels away from the sea, guests are taken to the beach and back for free by minibus. Practically all hotels have this service, except for the "Prima Oasis", "Daniel" and "Isrotel". Of these three hotels, it is necessary to walk to the beach: the road to the sea partly runs from a slide, i.e. the road to the hotel will be a bit heavy. Distances to the "Dead Sea Clinic" vary from hotel to hotel, but sanatoriums.com offers free roundtrip transfers to and from all the hotels listed on the website.

Comfortability of hotels
We believe that the most comfortable hotels in the resort are:
- Spa hotel "Isrotel". Not bad location in relation to the medical center "Dead Sea Clinic", there are sun beds for guests on the beach free. As in the hotel "David", the "Isrotel" has two pools with Dead Sea water, indoor and outdoor, just in the "Isrotel" they are smaller. Outside there is a landscaped area.
- Spa hotel "Herods". The largest indoor swimming pool with Dead Sea water in the resort (23x6 m), a Dead Sea mud keg is installed twice a week on the beach in front of the hotel, free of charge for guests, and the masseurs at the spa center have medical education.
- Spa hotel "David". A magnificent recreation area with two spacious swimming pools and two tennis courts, here is the largest outdoor swimming pool with Dead Sea water in the resort, there is also an indoor swimming pool with Dead Sea water, all rooms have spacious balconies.
- Spa hotel "Isrotel Ganim". Pleasant home atmosphere, tastefully decorated interior, lobby is made in elegant English style, polite staff works there.
- Spa hotel "Lot". Underwent cosmetic reconstruction in the year 2019, has a cozy interior.
These hotels have a comfortable and cozy atmosphere, well-equipped spa and relaxation areas. The other hotels have much similar infrastructure, except for the "Leonardo Inn", which does not have a spa area, but also has an outdoor swimming pool with fresh water.
Meal in hotels
There's no point in talking much about nutrition. All hotels without exception offer buffet-style meal. All hotels do not serve meat dishes for breakfast - this is the specifics of Israel. Breakfast is very tasty coffee everywhere, all hotels serve a lot of fresh herbs and salads of different kinds. In short, the food here in all the hotels is excellent. The only difference is in breakfast, lunch and dinner drinks: somewhere juices and carbonated beverages are free, somewhere for a surcharge, but free water is available everywhere. Please note that lunch is not available at the hotel "Leonardo Inn". We would especially like to mention the hotel "Isrotel Ganim", where delicious bread with onions and tomatoes are baked.

Additional services
All hotels in Ein Bokek resort have their own spa areas (except, again, the "Leonardo Inn"). Spa areas offer free fitness and a swimming pool with Dead Sea water, only difference in size ("David" and "Isrotel" hotels also have an outdoor pool of this type). All hotels have hydrogen sulphide pools (except "Prima Oasis", there are only hydrogen sulphide baths). All the spa centres offer mud applications using the mud from the Dead Sea and many kinds of massages. It should be noted that the hotel "Herods" gives mud massages - such as we have seen only there. All hotels have children's game rooms and halls, most of them have PlayStation and Xbox game consoles. There are also children's pools, they are filled with fresh water. Hotels also have swimming pools of different sizes, some of them are heated in the winter months. Each hotel has its own free parking and bicycle rental - it is not free everywhere.
