Red Sea Jazz – by G&P Suites

First Impressions

Red Sea Jazz – by G&P Suites caught my attention immediately with its name — and honestly, it delivers on that musical promise. This apartment-style hotel sits right in the heart of Eilat’s bustling area, just a couple blocks from the beach promenade. The building itself isn’t flashy, but there’s something refreshingly authentic about the place that you don’t always find in the resort-heavy strip.

The Apartment Experience

What makes this three-star place special is how it feels more like staying in a friend’s well-equipped flat than a typical hotel room. Each unit comes with a proper kitchen — I mean, a real one with full-size appliances, not some tiny kitchenette setup. You know what’s great about that? You can actually cook fresh fish from the local market or just store your drinks without paying hotel minibar prices. The living spaces are generous too, with separate sleeping and lounging areas that give you room to spread out after long days exploring the Red Sea.

Location & Local Life

Barak Street puts you right where you want to be without the chaos of the main tourist drag. It’s maybe a five-minute walk to the beach, but more importantly, you’re close to where locals actually eat and shop. There’s a decent supermarket around the corner, and the parking situation is actually manageable — which anyone who’s driven in Eilat will tell you is no small thing. The dolphin reef and underwater observatory are easy drives from here, and you’re positioned perfectly for day trips to Petra or the Negev desert.

Amenities That Actually Matter

The building has a small but perfectly functional pool area where you can cool off when the desert heat gets intense — and trust me, it will. There’s also a spa on-site that’s nothing fancy but does solid massage work after long hiking days in the nearby mountains. What I really appreciated was the reliable air conditioning and strong Wi-Fi throughout. These might sound basic, but you’d be surprised how many places in this price range don’t get these fundamentals right.

Why Guests Love It

The 9.4 rating makes perfect sense once you stay here. It’s not trying to be something it’s not — no fake glamour or over-the-top service theatrics. Instead, you get clean, comfortable spaces with everything you actually need, managed by people who know Eilat and can point you toward the good local restaurant spots that tourists usually miss. The value is exceptional too, especially if you’re planning to stay more than a couple nights. Having that kitchen means you can balance eating out with cooking in, which honestly makes a week-long stay much more affordable and comfortable.

Best hotels in Eilat deliver glass-bottom excursions, chef-led seafood tastings, and swim-up bars glowing after dusk.
