We stayed in the Royal beach Hotel in Eilat for 3 nights.

All of the staff we encountered was very friendly and helpful.

Our room was big and spacious and the view over the ocean was spectacular! The room even had a balcony overlooking the beach and the promenade.

Unfortunately our room was not as clean as is was supposed to be upon our arrival (even if there wouldn't be a pandemic). The guest manager apologized and offered us a free meal and made sure that our room was cleaned properly.

The pool area is beautiful but it was really crowded and the pool was freezing cold. The area above the pool was less crowded and much more relaxing. The is a staircase leading down to the beach (which was regrettably locked and we had to get fully dressed and walk through the hotel to get to the beach).

The pool restaurant is (just like the name suggests) right next to the pool. Unfortunately that means that there is a lingering smell of frying food near the restaurant/ when you are swimming in the pool.

The proximity of the promenade (right underneath most of the rooms) has it ups and downs. You get everything you could possibly need. If you want to do shopping, if you need a pharmacy or of you want to eat something you wil surely find something suitable close by. However it also means that the hotel surroundings are quite noisy. In the morning you can hear the delivery trucks and the machines cleaning the streets.
