Fodor's Expert Review Isrotel Yam Suf

Across from Coral Beach, this charming property has a six-story wing where most of the rooms have balconies facing the sea, as well as a couple of three-story buildings set amid private gardens. There's even a wing intended for small groups of snorkelers and divers—it faces the Manta Dive Center, which offers two- and five-day certification courses. The hotel's entrance, facing the Eilat Mountains, is up a palm-lined drive; inside, the decor is modern and lively. The color scheme of the guest rooms is particularly attractive, with pale woods and earth tones. Just across the road are the beach and a seafood restaurant.
