Kedma is a very nice and, in many ways, surprising hotel. We came with our 2.5-year-old daughter and a couple of friends with their own 2.5-year-old. The location is excellent: in the middle of the desert, with many hiking and travel opportunities in the surrounding area. Overall: I think this is a very good hotel, with an exotic feel, and for a very good price—especially in the less crowded seasons—for a few nights with family and friends. I can see how it can be romantic at times, but I would not recommend it for a purely romantic vacation. Here is the full review: The design of the hotel is very pleasant—boho-chic style. (I read it’s inspired by Nabatean architecture, but what do I know…) They are putting a lot of effort into the landscaping and gardening, and it really shows. It’s genuinely enjoyable to walk around the hotel’s small alleys during the day—there’s a very calm and relaxed atmosphere. As for the rooms, we stayed in the “Kedma Studios,” which are very spacious and include a small balcony. The rooms are surprisingly high quality. I would recommend paying a little extra for one of the larger rooms—it’s worth it. I found the pool area overall charming, though I can see how it might feel crowded when the hotel is full. The pool is small, and there are too many pool chairs squeezed around it. That said, the kids had fun, and it was still pleasant to sit nearby with a drink from the pool bar. In general, there are too many rooms for the size of the public spaces. The spa is surprisingly good for a hotel of this tier. The hammam is huge, with a large plunge pool in the center, and it’s truly wonderful. It costs a few extra shekels to enter, but it’s well worth it. There isn’t a separate spa lounge. Other facilities, however, are more cramped. The gym, although well-equipped, is very small. There’s a nice indoor play area (gymboree) for the kids. At night, when the kids go to bed, it’s really nice to sit with friends in one of the hotel’s peaceful corners—there are a quite a few very pleasant spots with cushions and fireplaces. As for food: breakfast in the main restaurant is OK. The space is nicely designed and well maintained, like the rest of the hotel, but it can get very loud and crowded. The quality of the food is not top-tier—just a bit above the usual, notoriously generic Israeli hotel breakfast. The dairy restaurant is also quite pleasant and serves very good pizza made in a proper taboon. The pool resturant serves junkfood which kids really like. Service at the hotel is capable—not quite at the level of a full luxury hotel, but still adequate. They could improve evening upkeep by having more staff walk around and tidy the public areas, though. Everyone are very nice and welcoming.

What an amazing hotel! A perfect place to relax and rejuvenate. I love how it seems they paid attention to all the small details - the cups in the bathroom, the reading lamps on the bed, the decor around the bar. It tells you something about the quality of the place. The rooms are simple and gorgeous, the food is tasty and there’s a large variety to choose from. And it’s in the desert, so everything is so quiet, and there’s star lit sky is simply soothing. Great stay! Highly recommended!

Very high standard hotel, perfect food, good rooms, in short, a hospitality experience The best high-class hotel I've stayed in so far and I go to a lot of hotels. Large, spacious rooms. Top-notch food. There is a very professional spa. There is a large, spacious hot tub. There is peace and quiet. In short, a highly recommended hotel experience.

I ordered the vacation for my son and daughter in law, for their marriage- for the days after the wedding!!!! Of course that I told them that it is a couple that got married the day before But as sad and disappointed as it sounds, no one paid attention to it, they didn’t get not even a little note or chocolate or cake- a little congratulations note- very disappointing That besides the fact that there was a big mess about the fact that I made them a membership and no one saw it in the system, a confusing with the payment

First - the positives! 1. Studio room was quite big and made our stay enjoyable. 2. Beautiful decor. 3. Food was very good. Especially the makluba! 4. Nice store which had the bathing suit I needed! 5. Fun Gymbory for the kids. Clean, with fun games. 6. Spa was lovely and my pregnany massage was great quality.. Negatives: 1. No bathtub in the room.huge shower, but no bath. Traveling with two toddlers in a family room - it was odd. 2. Baby bed and sofa bed not ready when we got to the room. Nor were there enough towels. It was ready quite quickly but had I arrived with sleeping kids I would have been so mad. 3. Heated pool is just not heated enough to really enjoy it in Israel's mediocre winter. It's not 5 c out there, more like 15. Can't be that hard to warm the water more!! 4. There just has to be more food out options in Shabat, especially as the close area doesn't have any decent options. .
