דירה משפחתית בסי סייד עם בריכה מחוממת – By Edom

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to דירה משפחתית בסי סייד עם בריכה מחוממת – By Edom, I’ll be honest — it took me a moment to spot it among the residential buildings on Hail Hahandasa Street. This four-star property doesn’t scream “hotel” from the outside, and that’s actually part of its charm. It feels more like you’re staying at a friend’s place who happens to have really good taste and a fantastic heated pool.

The Apartment Setup

Here’s what surprised me most: you’re not getting a typical hotel room here. This is a full family apartment that sleeps multiple people comfortably, which explains why families with kids seem to gravitate toward this place. The kitchen is properly equipped — I mean, you could actually cook a decent meal here if you wanted to skip the restaurants for a night. The living area opens right out to where that heated pool beckons, and honestly, that setup sold me immediately.

Location in Eilat

The thing about staying on Hail Hahandasa is that you’re in a real neighborhood rather than the tourist strip. Eilat‘s main attractions are still totally reachable — the beach is maybe a 10-minute walk, and you can get to the coral reefs at the marine park without much hassle. But when you come back at the end of the day, you’re not dealing with crowds of sunburned tourists stumbling around outside your window.

The Pool Experience

Let’s talk about that heated pool, because it’s genuinely the star of the show here. Most places in Eilat have pools, sure, but this one stays warm year-round, which matters more than you’d think. Even in winter months when the Red Sea gets a bit chilly, you can still have your morning swim. I spent most evenings out there with a drink, watching the desert sunset paint the surrounding hills. The pool area feels private too — it’s just for guests of this property, not some massive hotel complex.

Why Guests Love It

With an 8.2 rating, this place clearly hits the sweet spot for travelers who want space and privacy without sacrificing comfort. Families especially seem to appreciate having a proper base camp rather than cramming everyone into a standard hotel room. The parking situation is straightforward, which anyone who’s driven around Eilat’s busier areas will appreciate. You know what really makes the difference though? The heated pool and apartment-style setup give you flexibility — you can cook breakfast before heading out to snorkel, or come back midday to escape the desert heat and take a proper break before dinner.
