After the publication in "Israel Hayom" according to which there was a drop in hotel prices in Eilat until the Tishrei holidays, an inspection we conducted today (Tuesday) revealed that the prices during the holidays for one room for a couple and two children with breakfast only can reach NIS 41,000.
According to the check we performed on the "Booking" website, the Leonardo Royal Resort Hotel offers the lowest price - NIS 17,300.
The highest price we found was more than double that - NIS 41,200.
The most expensive.

Harrods Vitalis is not alone: also at the Yu Coral Beach Hotel, both belonging to the Fatal chain, they charge more than NIS 40,000 for a family that includes a couple and two children for a week during Rosh Hashanah, but in this case it is an all-inclusive price.
Another hotel we found at a particularly high price is Royal Beach, which offers a room for a couple and two children on a bed and breakfast basis only at a price approaching NIS 28,000 per week during Rosh Hashanah.
At the Dan Eilat Hotel, the price approaches almost NIS 23,000 for the whole week with the same accommodation format, and at the Isrotel Lakes Hotel you will have to pay a little more than NIS 23,000 for a couple with two children, including breakfast.
At least there is breakfast.

Even in the segment of hotels that are considered 4-star hotels, the prices are especially high during the holiday.
At the Leonardo Royal Resort Hotel, for example, we found a vacation for a week at the same time with breakfast only for a couple and two children for NIS 17,300.
Hotels of a similar level are offered in a price range of 20-13 thousand shekels for the same period of time.
At the same time, we checked how much the pampering clubs would cost in Antalya, Turkey, and the prices - you'll be surprised - are tens of percent cheaper.
5-star hotels on an all-inclusive basis at that time for a couple and two children will cost between 1,500 and 2,300 dollars for everyone, a cost equivalent to about NIS 5,200 to NIS 8,200.
