“Spa to return to”

Excellent in all ways. Food is exceptional (and kosher!)!

“An Oasis of Calm”

Maybe not as glitzy as some of the posher hotels in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem or anywhere for that matter but delightful for a short stay. Adults only - no one under 18 means that the public areas are very relaxed. You are provided with a dressing gown and you can wear it anywhere all day except for dinner. When the hotel approaches full, no visitors are allowed to ensure that guests can access the treatments which are generally good and reasonably priced - I had a Dead Sea mudwrap - very relaxing. Favourite parts - lovely wood panelled reading room with 2 internet points - Meditearranean water courtyard garden - amazing sea and Carmel views from all rooms - no mobile phones in public - delicious food - not especially slimming but healthily cooked. Breakfast, as in many Israeli hotels, needs fine tuning, especially the wait for coffee - why can't they trust us with a coffee pot?

“Ticks All The Boxes”

For the ultimate luxury in exotic health spas Carmel Forest in Israel ticks all the boxes, with professional team of excellent and courteous staff throughout the spa and resort. The cuisine is fine dining at its best, magnificently presented and altogether far exceeded all expections from the recommendations that had enticed me to book.

“Relaxation at its Best”

This was probably the most relaxing and enjoyable experience my wife and I have had for a while. The rooms are fine - but don't expect anything fancy. The hotels and spa facilities are superb and everything is geared to make you feel relaxed. You'll forget about all your worries and issues back at home/work and just clear your mind. The food is also superb and it is not often you have 3 meals all included in the price.

“Carmel Forest Spa”

Great food, though it's disappointing that they don't serve dairy desserts with the dairy lunches. Otherwise standard and presentation of food is terrific.
