Letting go at nof Ginosar

the hotel provides towels and chairs, and we rented kayaks (there are also pedal boats). If you want to do that, it is better to do it in the morning, as in the evenings the lake gets rough. We enjoyed rowing very much. It provides an opportunit­y to see the coastline from a different point of view, and is a very fun activity!

Beside the beach, we spent time swimming at the hotel’s pool. the hotel has plenty of outdoor activities, such as an evening movie at the swimming pool, a bonfire at the beach, etc. It is much safer this way and is fun; just remember to bring a mosquito repellent, if you are sensitive, as we are not the only ones taking advantage of the sea and the fresh air here.

the dining room is the only place that would remind you of the coronaviru­s – the staff used face masks and gloves. I remembered from my previous vacation here that there was a large variety of food – its quality has improved, and everything we had was very tasty.

If you prefer the safety of the fresh air, the lobby has a dairy bar with a beautiful new deck balcony facing the beach. It was great to sit there and have a cocktail.

When we decided we wanted to stay for the holiday, we found out that the hotel was fully booked! however, there are some especially good deals for those who can come midweek in june and july, so we’ll try to come again.
