Apart Hotel Tlv Bat Yam Beach Front 834

My mother and I stay at the Colony Beach Hotel every time we visit Israel. We were there April 2008 , 2010 and 2012. The hotel is located on the sands of the Mediterranean Beach. It is also at the begging of Bat yam which is 3.5 miles south of the Old City of Jaffa in Tel Aviv. On the first floor of the hotel is a synagogue for those who are religious. Restaurants, supermarkets and shops are within walking distance. There is free parking in the hotel, a security front desk and a small food market in the hotel too. Fresh baked bread and rolls every morning. Great view, clean pool and spa, and an entry to the beach which is always empty. The apartment we stay at, is a one bedroom one bathroom apartment. A small kitchenette, a living room with a folding couch. Balcony, air-conditioning, TV and a great balcony. we pay anywhere from $100 to $135 per night depending on the season and the apartment. Great place to make as a base location if visiting Israel and doing it on your own.

It's a maze inside. Elevators getting stuck.. but free parking:)

Personality I think the best days are over for the colony beach...the place looks neglected. Great location, no doubt and prices are fine, but it doesn't give me the "wow" feeling at all, the shop owner smokes inside his shop, found the sauna many time closed while it should have been open....two cats seem to own the hall and the sofa's...place for divorced and retires.....
