Best hotel in Eilat for a calm quality retreat. Direct access to the seashore, generous breakfast, next to the coral reef, quietter area of Eilat. Small downside - limitted free parking and no meals option after the breakfast. I will return to the place

Hospitality looks different. Overpriced and unfriendly. Saturday check in not before 7 pm. Pool closed for maintenance without notification before. Very worn out, renovation without carefulness. View to tennis court, noises and floodlight starts 5 am. Carpark of Hotel very limited. Check out speaks English sometimes. No recommendation at all.

It will be a disappointment if you expect the premier acoording to the price tag. To get to the sea and beach, you have to go through a dining hall and a construction site. Closeness to the beach was our primary reason for choosing this hotel and it was in very poor condition. There was strong and unpleasant odor in the hallway...Most of the time there were not enough clean towels at the pool, and no one was available to assist. In short, there are a lot of hotels in Eilat, so choosing the Rif doesn't make sense
