Ramot Resort Hotel

Good stay The stay was good, the staff were very friendly and welcoming , the breakfest was reach and testy,

Ramot Resort never disappoints. Even in the middle of a war when the hotel is filled with Israelis displaced from their homes near the northern border, the service and the beauty are still there. If you can afford it, book one of the chalets. Completely private, each one has a sauna and a hot tub and a deck overlooking the Kinneret. Beautifully furnished, spacious, the chalets are far superior to any hotel room. A fridge and espresso machine, large screen TV, bathrobes and slippers, huge bathroom with power shower...this is luxury. Staff are accommodating and kind. Ramot is a base to explore some of the most beautiful scenery in Israel.

A holiday that lived up to the hype !!. Although there were a few things that could have been improved in my opinion , the short break to Ramot was well worth the drive from our home in the centre (of Israel) . Although one of the lifts/elevators didn't work on the day of our arrival , and the activities board located near the reception area , was ONLY in Hebrew , there were at least welcome drinks and cookies waiting for the many guests that arrived ( take note Dan Carmel ) . Our room was located in the main building (the same one as the dining room ) was was sufficient for our needs ( 4 days 3 nights) .The swimming pool snack bar had a limited menu , but the portion size suited us , as we intended to "indulge" in the much talked about Ramot dining room food . There were activities laid on for the "younger guests " , and there was also a table tennis table that could be used ( see reception for ball and bats ) .The workout room was one of the smallest I can remember seeing ( floor 2 main building) . There were evening activities organised , a campfire sing along , a talented local singer , and a " late " night ( 9p.m) pool " party" on consecutive nights . Friday evening dinner was great !! (I recommend the smoked Entrecote - I went back for more, twice ) . It's a pity that there was only one type of soup available , but I was saving myself for the desserts anyway !!! - my thanks to the hotel management for granting me permission to photograph the food before the dining room officially opened . The " invisibles " ( the staff that cleaned the rooms , dining- room etc ) did a great job - these people are often taken for granted , and an occasional " thank you" brings a smile to their faces . This establishment is largely an " Israeli" "hotel" , and caters for families - so if you are looking for a quiet weekend , Mid - Summer might not be the best time to visit here !!
