Ahuzat Shaul Seaside

Ahuzat Shaul has multiple separate rooms, but it feels like you are the private guests of a family. Dorit, the owner, not only made us feel welcome, but she also had time for delightful conversations that added color to her home and the surrounding town. "Ahuza" loosely translates as "estate" in English. The estate is compact but filled with delightful surprises, including an indoor dining room and an outdoor garden dining area for her delicious home-cooked breakfasts (her vegetable omelets were great, and the jam -- I don't know if it was homemade or store-bought -- was amazing, too). There are also several reading corners, an eclectic collection of books, a Jacuzzi, always-available tea/coffee, laundry and cold drinks for a fee on a trust basis, and compact but delightful rooms. Outside, the beach is an easy five-minute walk away and is clean, with gentle waves and lifeguard coverage. A delight! One thing to watch out for, and this actually is the fault of Expedia and only relevant for Israeli residents. Israelis are legally required to pay the national VAT tax on hotel stays (tourists are exempt). Expedia does not collect or even indicate this additional charge. Dorit was clearly embarrassed to have to tell us about it, but legally she has no choice.

Clean room, Staff.
