Cramim Hotel Resort & Spa

The reason they didn't get 5 stars, is our first impression of the resort. We tried to drive up the driveway to have our car valet parked. The driveway up the hill is skinny and cars are parked alongside the path, and it's one car up or down at a time. We were almost at the top when a driver appeared from the top and aggressively forced us to drive down the hill backwards and avoid all those cars. When we finally got back to the top, there was no one to tell us what to do or where to leave our car. I had to go into the hotel to ask what to do and then we were helped. Someone took our car to park and another took our bags. Time to breathe! After that, no hiccups. Make sure you schedule a massage 1-2 weeks ahead of your stay. The spa is large but it books up quickly. Massages were wonderful. Also, if you're making a dinner reservation at the hotel, do that a day or so early, because we couldn't get the times we wanted either night. Not a big deal. Food is very good. Remember, it's a kosher place, so there's no dairy at night. We've stayed at the Beresheet Resort and the food was slightly better, but this was still delicious. We visited the Imperial Red bar, a very cool speakeasy-feeling spot on the main floor with good music and a very good vibe. Sergey, the manager, was a delight to talk to. We enjoyed our visits both nights very much. Very creative drinks.
