Fodor's Expert Review Orchid Reef Hotel

Rte. 90 (Eilat–Taba Rd.), Almog Beach, Eilat, Southern District, 88105, Israel Fodor's Choice

This boutique beachcombing property is one of South Beach's favorites because it's one of the few with direct ocean access. Guest rooms, most with balconies, display smart, modern color schemes, and contemporary furnishings. The decks have beautiful wood planks instead of Eilat's typical poured concrete. Flat-screen TVs, sleeper sofas, and refrigerators for stashing drinks are also standard. The beautiful pool area leads down to the beach where chairs and umbrellas are provided for hotel guests. The surf center offers equipment and lessons, contributing to the hang-loose vibe. If you need your fix of mainstream Eilat—and we're not sure you will—free shuttles depart six times daily.
