Romantic Hotels in Eilat

We had an excellent stay at the Neptune. It is a 5-star hotel, part of the prestigous Dan Hotel chain. Our room had a balcony overlooking the 25 meter heated pool with the Red Sea beyond. The room was a generous size, clean, with an upholstered arm chair that doubles as a spare single bed. The bathroom had a big mirror and a glass-door step in shower. The soap and other amenities were renewed as needed, and fresh, soft towels were provided generously. The curtains completely darkened the room if desired, the room was thoroughly cleaned and the sliding door to the balcony was spotless. The large size double bed was comfy with lots of pillows and a warm coverlet; the closet had adequate shelves and hanging room and extra hangers were provided promptly when requested. Every room has an electric kettle, two glass mugs, bottled mineral water and coffee, tea bags, sugar and sweetener for making hot drinks. There is a small fridge and safe as well.

The buffet had several fresh salads, as well as cut up vegetables for making your own, and several freshly made salad dressings, olive oil, lemon juice, fresh lemon quarters, and nice touches like bulgar and roasted seeds. Fresh cut citrus fruit rounded out the selection. Two chefs prepared omelets to order with fresh eggs, fresh sliced mushrooms, onions, parsley and grated cheese. Additional warm dishes included scrambled eggs, hard-boiled eggs, mini sliced baked eggplant, fresh pancakes or waffles, baked cakes including delicious warm cheese cake, croissants, borekas, and various specialties like lasagne and fresh pizza. There was always a selection of yogurt, sour cream, cold pudding deserts, as well as fresh cold hotel specialties like malaby and a whipped cream-cheese cake that was heavenly. There was a good selection of sliced hard cheeses, both salty and mild including a great fresh ricotta and white cheeses, like cottage cheese, white cheese with scallions or fresh dill. Tuna chunks, tuna salad, at least two kinds of herring, green and black olives, pickles, halva cubes and every kind of condiment were always available. Cereals included corn flakes, granola and 2 other choices, cold milk and cold chocolate milk on tap, chocolate spread, apricot and strawberry preserves, syrup for pancakes and waffles, in short, just about anything you could possibly want for breakfast. The hotel had many families with children, which resulted in some spills and dropped pancakes, and the dining staff always cleared things up immediately. They kept the buffet looking tempting and fresh at all times even with literally hundreds of diners at o
