Nahsholim Seaside Resort

Nahsholim has a peaceful and uncrowded beach of great beauty. I have not found anything to equal it in Israel. It provides a bountiful breakfast, beautiful ground with flowers and trees, hot water 24/7 and a place to wash feet when emerging from the beach. However, the price for a "regular room" is exorbitant *850 shekels per couple per night)when considering that these rooms are minimal. The bathroom is tiny and one needs a squeegee to clean up after each shower as the floor of the shower is the floor of the room itself; there is only liquid soap of the worst quality; there is no wifi connection in the rooms, but rather only in the reception area and even there it is intermittent; t.v. channels are minimal; room maintenance is sketchy and for example there was a hold in our screen and standing water outside of it which attracted insects; the minimarket offers very little variety at high prices; the signs peter out at some point so that it is not always easy to find things. Despite the hardships - I would definitely return because I so value the peace and beauty, but not all travelers may feel this way.

The pictures on the website are the epitome of false advertising. While those lovely two story and brand new casita units exist, so do many units that are in need of being torn down. Total disrepair, dirty, utilitarian rooms that are horrible. Be aware that even if you specify which room you want you may end up in the crappiest place you’ve ever stayed.

We was recieved and depature with bad service. Mostly the manager Micheal that was rude But the workers was a rad nicer. Rooms need to be updated and We booked with kitchen and there was not a single cutlery nor plates and no way of heating food when the restaurant was closed on saturday.

Very nice people at the reception desk. The room was quite large and had a gorgeous view of the fabulous beach . Excellent breakfast. The towels were flimsy and thin. The housekeeping and maintenance were very poor. On day 2 of our stay, our room was not cleaned at all. Finally, at 4:30 pm, after two calls, the housekeeper came. On several occasions, she forgot to give us face towels. Our cousins had the room next door. Their tissue box was empty and was not refilled. The housekeeper seemed very surly and resentful of any request. The maintenance staff should go over things in the room before people check in to ensure that things work! Our bedside lamps were broken (the switches were broken and so the lamp would not stay off!). The handle in the bathtub that diverts the flow of water to fill up the tub was broken . They offered us another room. We were already very settled in (on day 2) and didn't want to delay our evening plans . I've been in hundreds of hotels in my lifetime and the bathroom in this hotel was the darkest I've ever seen! I could barely see to put my contact lenses into their case. There was a vanity mirror, but the switch did not work. The maintenance person told us that they "weren't allowed" to put electricity there. On that note, there was NO electrical outlet in the entire bathroom. A hairdryer was provided but there was no place near the bathroom mirror to plug it in. We suspected that the hotel didn't want to spend the money for the GFI outlets.

DO NOT STAY HERE! Our rooms were rusted out, dirty, and falling apart. Even the grounds were unkempt with hammocks that were falling apart and bushes growing through the benches. My bathroom was recently renovated and was the best room in the unit. Everything else made you want to sleep in your clothes. The pictures on the Nahshalim website are inviting, but they do not match reality. Half the property is in shambles and should not be used. The hospitality at the front desk was less than inviting, and after we were given a dinner time, we had to wait almost 30 minutes before they would seat us. With the great hotel options in Israel, this one is not worth staying at!

Despite having made arrangements well in advance and being promised newer rooms, our party was put in the oldest accommodations in the resort. An elderly man in our party had a room without a functioning toilet. We were given a dinner time but required to wait 25 minutes while tables were set up. Atrocious hospitality.
