Are there really still palaces left in the world?
The new Alma suite proves to us that the word "palace" is flexible, dynamic and adapts itself to any time and place. Alma is a modern palace. It has a huge space with mostly glass walls, looking out over a heated swimming pool. The huge yard is constructed like a mini golf park.
The entertainment system has six speakers and a multi-media system for private viewing with the quality of your own theater. The Jacuzzi seats six, but only if you want it to...
And this is all just the beginning...
True, it is not a cheap complex, but it seems that the value here is very appropriate: it is a huge accommodation complex located on an area of one and a half dunams, isolated and completely private. Two particularly large outdoor complexes surround the building, with the outer one built as a professional mini golf park and the inner one used as a romantic space rich in lounge corners, pergolas, hammocks and swings. A magnificent brick oven is also located here.
True, the environment is agricultural, and you won't be surprised to see a chicken coop or a barn here and there. The building is surrounded by covered balconies built on spectacular Roman columns, illuminated with colorful lighting at night. Villa guests are invited to enjoy a musical experience even outside the walls of the villa thanks to high-quality speakers scattered around the balconies. No less than 400 lighting points scattered in the two beautiful outdoor complexes.
The suite is built as two large spaces where one of them is partially surrounded by glass walls, and is the interior area and the other is located inside glass walls and contains a heated swimming pool and spa jacuzzi.
A host of surprises, attractions and unique design solutions characterize the suite: a very wide bed, two huge TV screens, a speaker system for a cinematic experience, a luxurious kitchen (no cooking possible), a huge dining table and much more. There is also a side guest room, which is suitable for children over 7 years old.
"Alma" is an example of a modern hospitality complex, rich in details, gimmicks, attractions and fascinating surprises. But beyond all these, the uniqueness of the complex is also in its location, near the sea, and in the complete privacy of the complex.
What’s on the site?
System message: at the end of the surfer's message, the response of the owner of the complex is given
Surfer's opinion:
The place, at least according to the pictures and the writing, exudes luxury, but it is far from reality. The price is 2500 NIS per night. The price is high by all accounts and I thought I would get full value for the price. Unfortunately, it started with a blockage in the shower that needed to be fixed, with facilities that did not work. I found myself with a service person on the phone. Trying to fix the movie system that didn't work, a garden that is not maintained and clean, a bed that was supposed to be adjustable but it probably was once because it didn't work, a reasonable breakfast except that I found a hair in the salad, the smell of cows is very strong because it borders a barn in short at such a price There are plenty of other places.
The response of the owners of the complex:
Chen Hello!
First, I thank you for the time you spent here, a second time if I'm not mistaken :)
Indeed, Alma is a suite aimed at an audience that knows how to appreciate quality, and cases like these are not acceptable to us either. I will explain:
A blockage in the shower is something not really expected, and it was indeed fixed immediately. The movie streamer decided to strike right before Shabbat, and unfortunately you were left with only YES.
Regarding the garden - indeed there are two trees that bloom this season and quite "dirty" the yard with their fruits. Therefore, in the coming weeks we will move the trees to a more distant location and plant suitable ornamental trees in their place. We will try to find a time when there are no guests to carry out the matter (a bit difficult for us, given the demand).
Regarding the bed - it is perfectly fine and I regret that you did not ask for assistance in activating the control. I will take this into account and prepare operating instructions for future guests which I will attach.
The barn of one of the neighbors undergoes a periodic wash from time to time, and unfortunately it probably produced unpleasant odors during one of the washes during your stay.
It's really not that pleasant, and as you remember, I gave you compensation for a body treatment/hour at the house's expense. If you stay here again, I'd be happy to offer you another treatment as compensation.
Again, thanks for the feedback. We will continue to do our best here, and offer excellent service, as the many reviews on the site will testify.
Best regards, Yoel

We stayed this week 1/28/15 in the accommodation suite in Alma, and it was a perfect experience!!!!!
There was not one thing that was less than excellent, the amazing complex of the pool and the cozy garden, the spacious living room with a sound system and a wide selection of movies, the heating of the fireplace which was wonderful...
There was simply not one thing that wasn't suitable for pampering.. including an adjustable bed, pleasant lighting, and of course a delicious and homemade breakfast!!!
The hostess was very pleasant and cordial, and after explaining all system operations. The suite, we were provided complete privacy in all the courtyard complexes!!
In short, highly recommended
We have already been to several prestigious B&Bs in Israel and the hospitality experience here exceeded all of them.
Beyond the amazing heated and covered pool in winter (we left it at the end of December at 12 midnight), the pampering jacuzzi,
The cinema screen, the lighting, and the surround sound from all the walls + the huge library of movies and live performances + the popcorn (the joy of the little details),
The shanty float in the yard, automatic blackout curtains, the romantic fireplace,
The huge B&B compared to others, the amazing design,
The important silence and privacy,
The concern for the guests was also evident in the small details and in relation:
Yoel kindly explained everything we had arrived at (while picking up a crumb for me
from the floor he found while explaining)
And Orly was sweet and kind the next day with the indulgent breakfast.
In the registered B&B you could find an espresso machine and a chocolate latte,
Jars of cookies, wine, seasonal fruit, a fully equipped kitchen and a refrigerator waiting with milk
delicacies etc.
was very indulgent. Recommend wholeheartedly.
