Herbert Samuel Okeanos Suites Herzilya

Amazing floor to ceiling glass windowed view of the sea on 2 sides! Stunning to wake up to. We had a compact room but big TV, ample wardrobe, kettle and mini bar. Bathroom huge with a huge walk in shower. Perfect position on the beach front and very central. Free parking next door, even if you sometimes had to wait for it. Pool 25 metres, with loungers all round and a separate grass area to the side meant you could sit undisturbed from the kids round the pool. Beach just a walk down the steps from the pool. Friendly staff, wonderful breakfast with cereal, continental and Israeli style with loads of fresh fruit and fresh salads as well as eggs cooked in front of you to your request. All day lounge with snacks and hot drinks and cold water. Would definitely recommend and come back.

Agree with most of the reviews here, in that it’s a really beautiful view/facilities/location, but management could do better. The view and breakfast and amazing. The lobby is clean and comfortable. You are within walking distance to some restaurants (but far from the main strip). You are a 1 minute walk to the beach, but to get back you need a code which no one tells you except when asked. The pool is out of service half the year, but you aren’t informed when booking. Your rooms are cleaned daily, but sometimes this doesn’t happen until 5pm/6pm. I really think this hotel could be exceptional if some more effort was put into it. Also there is an older Israeli / Russian guy working there who is hilarious and amazing and deserves a pay raise!

The guard didn’t let my child use the restroom, what a shame! Luckily there is a restaurant just the opposite (Benedict) where we could not just use the restroom, but also have a nice lunch.
