Review
Perched on a cliff at the edge of the Ramon Crater in the Negev Desert, the Beresheet Hotel wows with dramatic views, minimalist-chic exteriors and a luxury experience that is not a given at even the nicest hotels in Israel. While there are minimal service hiccups, the Beresheet is still a wonderful place to stay. The rocky landscape is studded with geometric, boxy structures that conceal simple but modern accommodations, many of which have plunge pools in front, adding a brilliant splash of color to an otherwise muted landscape.
While the secluded property might seem like a romantic destination, it is so family-friendly that couples might feel crowded. All meals are served buffet-style, and the grounds (which include a pool, movie theater, and grounds) are packed with children at almost all times. For those looking to get away, the spa is wonderful, and the hotel has a lengthy list of excursions for active types.
Who Should Stay
Families will love the abundance of activities, while other travelers will appreciate an escape to unwind for a few days.
