	Luxury at a Kibbutz Review of Kibbutz Lavi Hotel, Lavi by random8 More a hotel than a kibbutz. In fact, I understand that it was a hotel before being acquired by the kibbutz. We stayed here 2 nights on our tour round Israel and was by far the best place we stayed for accommodation. The only downer was that there ... Read review		not rated 24.11.06 20:32 (27.11.06 17:33)
	Mini-Israel - A fun day out for all the family Review of Mini Israel by tyardley Advantages: Easy to get to with a car, wheelchair & buggy accessible Disadvantages: Gets very busy on festivals and holidays Mini Israel is a display of hundreds of scaled down models of buildings throughout Israel. It is easy to walk around the site, even pushing wheelchairs/buggies. The main drawback for tourists, is that if children do not recognise the buildings they are ...

	Restaurant staff rude, facilities not available Review of King Solomon Hotel, Netanya by tyardley Advantages: Family rooms, play area across road, short walk to the beach Disadvantages: Service terrible, incomplete refurbishment We arrived at the hotel to find the lobby to be full of rubble and loose wires and the swimming pool and gym were closed. The restaurant staff were rude, both on this occasion and a previous occasion when there was no building work taking place. The foo ...

You have made some interesting and helpful points there, but to get higher ratings you need to expand a little on each one. Hope this helps.

	Haifa: the Beautiful! Review of Haifa, Israel (HFA) by TheChocolateLady Advantages: Bahai, Carmelite, Cable-Car and more Disadvantages: Not terribly touristy (which could be an advantage), not all that much to see Haifa isn't the best known city in Israel, but it is the third largest city and despite my love for Jerusalem, if I had to choose another place to live, then Haifa would be it. Besides it being built around Mount Carmel, it also touts one of the most bea ...

My granny lives in Haifa and ive been a few times. Great place, although a bit off the usual tourist route (it shouldnt be!) Righty, cheers, Dan. by Dan_ep Yes, the Bahai Temple is genuinely astonishing. Also I think the Carmel Forest Spa deserves a review all to itself. It's wonderful. by danielse read all comments		very helpful 04.05.06 11:34 (04.05.06 11:44)
	The Dead Sea and me Review of Dead Sea (Israel) by buzzard_cad Advantages: An unusual experience, good for the skin Disadvantages: A long walk, the salty water may sting after a while ~Summary~ The Dead Sea, this was the main reason for my trip to Israel. The healing properties of the waters may be overstated, but you can't go to Israel and not experience mudpacks and swimming in the salty water. The resorts are well equipped with sho ...

	Zealots, Romans and stubbed toes Review of Massada (Israel) by buzzard_cad Advantages: Hours of exploration if you like archaeology and Jewish history, good views over the Dead Sea Disadvantages: A cynic will view it as a pile of rubble on a hill ~UPDATED July 19th 2005~ Potentially inflammatory line deleted and other minor amendments. ~Summary~ Massada was a half-day tour during my week stay in Israel. It is on a hill and gives good views of the Dead Sea and surrounding area. It is not reall ... Read review Ciao members have rated this review on average very helpful Ciao members have made 7 comments about this review View comments This is a good review, but the fact that you didn't like the area, which I can understand, came across in it...Go with a friend, spend lots of time, and it can grow on you...I loved it there, but it was not busy, no tours that day...your review was very informative and you made the history about it very interesting. definately worth a visit.....well done...elinor. by elinor.z Apart from the politically inflammatory suggestion that there were no Jews in Israel between the time of Masada and 1948, I feel that you missed the best part. Masada is a magical experience best enjoyed by getting up in the middle of the night, watching the sound and light show at the base of the hill retelling the history of the place and then climbing to the summit in order to meet the sunrise. It's one of my more glorious memories of Israel. by danielse read all comments There are 2 other reviews on this product: View other reviews An interesting historical site by johnpaul1968 A fascinating site by NeilPeel read all reviews		very helpful 13.07.05 14:09
	Jaffa Review of Israel: General by traveller55 Advantages: history and art Disadvantages: unstable political situation This city is called with different names according to the language used. In the Bible it was called "Joppa", in Hebrew is "Yafo", in Arab is "Jaffa" (and in my review I will use the name "Jaffa"). Jaffa is the oldest city located along the Mediterra ...

	Guns, Sea, Sand and Shabbat Review of Israel: General by MissDirect Advantages: History, beauty, climate Disadvantages: Fear, political situation, prices I spent two weeks in Israel over Christmas and New Year 2004/05. I lost count of the times people thanked me for going there at a time when so many are afraid. There really isn't any need to be afraid. The last suicide bomb attack in Israeli terri ...

	Seems like a wonderful place... Review of Israel: General by Gravel Advantages: Wow, I never knew that Disadvantages: But is it safe? After last week’s questionable assassination of admitted murderer Sheik Yassin, it’s nice to remember some of the positive contributions Israel is making to the world – some of them quite remarkable for a country that was established only 55 years ago. ...
