I study in Jerusalem and traveled to Eilat with my mother who came to visit me. Since she loves Spa hotels, we booked the Herods Vitalis. The room was quite large and the fruit basket was a nice welcome. The Spa was definately the highlight of our visit. each one of us got a massage and facial and both were... more

Nothing special, No childrens, cellphones, smoking........... Lots of french couples and love seekers. Good spa more

We booked the Vitalis for a birthday vacation, and were more than pleased. Rooms are spacious and very nice. The SPA is the best in Israel. Service was very friendly and always with a smile. No children allowed. No cellular phones. Just what we needed. more

Boutique size hotel where kids under 18 are not allowed. All facilities of larger Herods Palace are available to Vitalis guests. The staff are friendly and attentive by Israeli standards.I thoroughly recommend this hotel for a relaxing vacation. Rooms are pretty good, and the hotel is being re-furbished over the summer. We had a junior suite which was very adequate.... more

Obviously, a hotel is rated based on its ability to stand up to the expectations. I would consider this a descent 3-star hotel given the amenities, but if rated against the expectation as a luxury 5-star hotel, it fails miserably.

I feel ambivalent towards this hotel. On the one hand, it is pricy, and the rooms are unimpressive and not on par with 5 star standards. On the other hand, it is the best place in Eilat for a quiet and tranquil holiday, has an excellent staff, and is equipped with outstanding spa facilities. The Herod's Vitalis is one of... more

The overall experience was dissapointing - the hotel roooms are of a very poor standard and very much 2 - 3 star standard rather than the 5 star that you are paying for. There were cigarette burns on the carpet, the bath was peeling, there was a pervasive unpleasant smell of damp and the furniture was bric-a-brac. When we complained... more

My boyfriend and I went to Israel for 2 weeks this month and had the pleasure of staying at the Herods Vitalis for 3 nights. From our very arrival, everything was wonderful. The staff is super-courteous, the hotel lobby area is architecturally interesting and spotless and the views are amazing! At the first glance, the room didn't impress me, but... more

This is actually the second time we've been to vitalis, we were there about five years ago, and I remember it to be better. In general, the quality of the service is not up to par, I was told to get my own towels when I wanted to go to the beach, when I needed pool chairs and there were... more
