Orchid Eilat

This hotel is made of many interesting bungalows with Red Sea view and transported by golf cars. The food is fantastic and service people are nice. It is directly cross road from the nice aquarium. Highly recommended!

Lovely place..... huge breakfasts and beautiful pools. Only disappointment was that the lady who checked us in, when we said we wanted to go to Petra the next day, said it was too late to book (next option according to her was for after we checked out). After she left, the next person at the desk arranged it for us. Giving business to the preferred travel agent was more important to her than making her customer happy. Glad the second gentleman was there.

Situated at the far end of Eilat this hotel is a true fairy tale place. All stuff was very helpful and polite and they have tried hard to make our stay as pleasant as ever possible. Reading some feedback from other guests I do not understand what other people could have done to get rude response, if you smile - you always get a smile back. I was staying there with my mum so it was really important to have quiet and relaxing stay that we definitely had. A bus stop is very close so you could get to the city centre easily if needed. Sea beaches just minutes away so I went to a swim every morning and afternoon and we enjoyed a hotel pools and spa during the day. The hotel was full of local Israelian people with kids (well behaved and joyful) that is always a good sign for me. Breakfast was great with good choice of food and fresh. I have already planned to come back next March with mum and sister and hope to come back every year.

Worse than was before and less service even being out of season. Had to request towels be back each time returning to hotel. No shampoo and got it on 3rd day only by stopping luckily the cart what got 2 of bottles. Looks there were no daily wet cleaning and glasses in my room were smelling beer upon returning form the beach. Avoid staying over weekend - too noisy even after midnight as your neighbors do parties and invite others. But, room was just to sleep - and being on wild beach near by. So, happy enough :)

The hotel is a beautiful setting in a very good location. The breakfast and evening buffet is amazing. we had a great time.

Every time I came to visit Eilat, I would look at the Orchid hotel from the outside and tell myself that on my next visit I will stay there. But I have to say, even though the staff are nice, the hotel does not worth the money you pay. The rooms are old and dusty, you have spider webs all over the ceiling, the bathroom is so small, you can't place anything around the sink. The balcony looks poor- I mean, I could spend the same amount of money on hotel that perhaps does not look on the outside like a luxurious Thai bungalow, but is way more renovated, modern and is clean. The AC is old and makes a lot of noise, the doors do not close properly. The breakfast buffet is poor and twice I found hair in the "fresh" salads section (I mean, Come on!). The pool's suntan beds are old and have stains on them (gross). DOES NOT WORTH THE MONEY! Save yourself from the disappointment

Exceptional views, spacious rooms, but apathetic and often even rude staff.

Nice hotel the beach is few min walking Smotie with vodka cost 50 shekels 12 euro !!

I stayed at the Orchid Hotel Eilat towards the end of June 2017. It was quite a way out of the city centre and was self contained, which was annoying as they wanted to charge a ridiculous rate for evening dinner. The main pool area was good and was a good way to while away a day, it was mostly packed with families and couples.

The idea of the hotel is good, thai villas on the hill etc. It all looked nice on the pictures. In reality it is rather disappointing. The cleanliness: we had no room cleaning for 2 days and we had to call for it though we had put a sign on the door saying "Make Up the Room". The patio is always dirty, lots of dust on the chairs. The hotel has decent restaurant and pool. The problem is that if you're non-smoker you can't be anywhere near the pool, people smoke there openly and nobody asks them not to, moreover even the staff smokes in the designated "non-smoking" areas. In our last day a person came over at about 9am and knocked on the door. I was going to open it when he already opened the door and was coming in until I called him not to. First, he didn't speak English, second, he was smoking at that moment! Hardly we understood he came by asking what time we're gonna be checking out. Why not to just call and ask it or why at all they do ask for it? In the restaurant waiters discuss some personal stuff aloud. They look unprofessional and more like seasonal workers. The room service person doesn't speak English.
