I travel a lot for business and stay 1-2 nights in mostly corporate chains. For this trip, since I was gone for a week, I wanted something that felt more like a vacation. This place was spot on. Ahuzat Shaul is perfectly clean, comfy and provides everything you need... plus charm & Mediterranean personality!
It's set up as a small compound of rooms with nice private decks and separate communal areas for relaxing or socializing. Hot tub for when the nights are colder! Less than 5 minutes to the beach, with lots of shopping nearby. Quick and easy to get to the highway for North-South travel. The pictures shown online are an accurate representation.
The owner, Dorit, is friendly and accommodating and her staff (Hi Jan!) are super polite and attentive. Each room has cold AC, fridge, microwave & everything to help you be comfortable. The breakfasts are varied, fresh and delicious.
It's roughly halfway between Tel Aviv and Haifa with easy access to both.
