Cramim Hotel Resort & Spa

It is one of the very few spa hotels in Israel. The hotel overlooks the hills surrounding Jerusalem and is located in a quiet area of the Kiryat Anavim kibbutz. You do need a car to get there, but parking options are a bit scarce. The hotel itself is lovely, though some parts of the hotel need renovation as do some of the furniture in the rooms but all in all, it is a very clean hotel, a helpful, pleasant and accommodating staff and a lot of facilities that are at the disposal of the guests for free (pools, various sitting options near the pools, some activities etc.) The overnight stay in this hotel is very expensive, as are the spa facilities (massages, reflexology etc). I am unable to quote prices as they vary according to the season, type of room etc. The price of the room includes a very generous, tasty and fresh breakfast buffet. We also ate dinner there which was good but owing to kosher restrictions a bit disappointing for us.
