The 223-room Herods Hotel Dead Sea is a contemporary four-pearl kosher hotel situated along a private beach. Rooms are small but stylish, outfitted in serene hues and comfy beds -- most being two twins pushed together. Quality amenities consist of espresso machines, kettles, and Smart TVs, plus someoutdoor spaces with Dead Sea views. On the downside, some wear and tear is visible throughout and there's little within walking distance. Free sunbeds by the beach and nearby pool with separate kiddy pool are welcome, and additional pluses include a lovely spa, quality buffet eatery and free Israeli breakfast, kids' club, and free Wi-Fi. The beachfront location is a major draw here, but those looking for a more walkable location should check out David Dead Sea Resort & Spa.
