Far away from the bustle of Eilat, the Princess offers a restful setting facing the Red sea and complete facilities that will delight demanding clientele.

Located on the Red Sea, in a isolated place, about 5 miles away from Eilat and a few metres away from the Egyptian border. Allow about 15 minutes for transfer from the airport.
The 400 rooms of the Princess are found between the ground level and the 15th level of the building, guaranteeing a stunning view of the sea or the mountains from most of the balconies. All the rooms offer air-conditioning, telephone ( very low-cost calls and personalised answering machine!), TV, a safe and a mini-bar. The standard rooms are not really large and they are furnished in an outdated style. However, the suites are of a comfortable size with oudoor private jacuzzi for Deluxe and duplex for the Junior suite. Our affinity remains for the 7 thematic suites ( Thai, Chinese, Morrocan, Russian...), decorated in a very fancy manner. Room service is available 24 hours a day.
Backed by mountains and facing the Red sea, the Princess hotel displays its architecture, certainly not very aesthetic, in a splendid setting. From the entrance hallway, where big sun lounges offer a great view of the ochre rock of the desert, you can only be touched by the beauty of the site. The charm continues when you get closer to the gigantic outdoor swimming pool, with a design of lagoons interwoven between them by way of slides and gangways. Considering its off-centered location, the Princess offers all the necessary services: shops, fitness room, beauty salon, thematic restaurants, synagogue and night club. A mini-club welcomes the kids and animations are assured every evening. But the most fascinating of the shows remains the sunset on the bay from the hotel's patio !
The Princess offers a large choice of kosher food, French cuisine, vegetarian, Creole, Italian, Japanese, meat specialities or the buffet-restaurant. Each restaurant offers a personalised decoration but the most spectacular one is offered by the Sunrise, fitted out with large bay windows in the rocks. Large buffets are offered here for breakfast and dinner. The swimming pool snack-bar or the one on the beach and the barbecue, set up in summer time on the patio, offer a nice option if you feel during the day. You can have a drink in the panoramic living-room, at the piano-bar, at the pub or, for those sleeping late at night, in the disco of the hotel. Two non-kosher restaurants are located outside the hotel, one Chinese and one Japanese.
Located on the other side of the street that borders the coast and accessible through a tunnel, the Princess's beach is one of the most peaceful in the area, despite the ambient music. Deckchairs and sunshades are availabe for clients free of charge. The clearness of the water allows you to enjoy the fauna and the flora of the Red sea using a simple mask. However, if you have sensitive feet, you should wear slippers because the seaside is covered with pebbles and corals.
Located in retreat from the activities of Eilat (free shuttle every half-hour), the Princess is a good destination for those seeking peace and tranquility in an impressive atmosphere. Despite the 10 year wear that you can feel in some of the places, this establishment remains one of the ''must see'' in the high standard hotel industry. Its large reception rooms are also used to organise weddings, feasts or barmitzvas.

Just a few steps away from the sea, the Caesar is a family hotel, great for low budgets despite the old facilities.

This modern hotel will attract families thanks to sophisticated amenities and a very pleasant atmosphere. But the closeness to the airport is the main inconvenience.

This small hotel, quite old-looking but well-maintained, has the huge advantage of being located on the beach. A cheap destination for young people, seeking seaside pleasures.

The Crowne Plaza is a high standard hotel, very animated and offering complete facilies. However, it is quite charmless and old-fashioned.

This hotel has discreet refinement and luxury, and is located in a stunning area on the seaside. The only bad part: the airport runaway is very close.

Watch out, you're about to fall in love! This hotel, the most charming in the city, is a real favourite! Contrary to the many enormous hotels found in the area, this establishment is made up of several smaller buildings peacefully nestled in amongst the well-maintained greenery on the hillside. The amenities in the guest rooms are fantastic, the services excellent, and the panoramic view from the swimming pool is truly unique... The only negative point is that you'll have to get used to the often noisy, incessant comings and goings of the electric cars that take guests to and from their rooms.

Set up on the oceanfront, the Royal Beach is one of the nicest hotels of Eilat and remains our favorite. Luxury lovers and those admiring modern art will not be disappointed.

From the four palaces of Eilat, the Herods is the nicest due to its design, its architecture and its decoration. A prestigious place that will delight those loving luxury and the excessiveness.

The Agamin hotel is a peaceful place where you can have a lot of rest far from the agitation of the Eilat's oceanfront and the other hotels. The Agamin hotel will definitely delight the couples. The swimming pool with hammocks and matresses offers a real moment of rest.

For a long time considered the only palace of Eilat, the King Solomon's preserved its name thanks to continuous renovation and the remarkable kids club. It does not have direct access to the beach.
