old and dirty

old and dirty spa, full of russian tourists. Not worth the ticket. If you want to access the Dead sea go to Ein Bokeq, a few km away

The majority of reviews here are talking about the Ein Gedi Spa which is quite separate from the Ein Gedi Hotel Spa. Confusing yes! The Ein Gedi Spa is located a few hundred yards down the road from the Kibbutz and is not operated by...More

We used this place as part of an organised tour only as a quick changing facility before we headed down to the Dead Sea. The lockers were a rip off- they wanted 100 ILS deposit and 18ILS for the rental of the locker. So we...More

A very cool experience

It is a bit tricky choosing witch beach to visit when visiting the Dead Sea. The bus driver and locals says that Ein Gedi doesn’t have a beach, but probably mean that the beach is private. We payed the entrance for the spa (approx 8...More

An Interesting Spa Hotel

We were not sure what to expect when we drove up to this resort. Turns out our rooms were spacious, clean and bright. We always open the curtains immediately and check out our view. What a great surprise! 180 degree view of mountains- reminiscent of...More

Not a pleasant experience

The visit to Ein Gedi spa is not really a pleasant experience. It reminds me of the changing rooms when I went to high school, damp and smelly. The smell is of sulfur and it is overwhelming in the beginning, but you get used to...More

"Spa" is a overstatement

I was really surprised by how run down the En Gedi Spa was. As other writes commented, perhaps it was the off season and they were using time to renovate? I was there in late February, the sulfur pool was closed, the bathrooms and shower...More

Tel Aviv - rent the car there, I think is the best. Try not to follow waze exactly when you´re driving to the dead sea - this is the recommendation of the israeli nationals. Ein Jedi was interesting for us to visit. The spa... More

Hey... the locals recommended Ein Bokek. The beaches are for free. I recommend you guys rent a car and drive there, even though you could get a bus from Jerusalem too.
