by Sharon 15 minutes drive south of Massada you'll find the area of En Bokek where some of the Big hotels / names are. Some of them are great ones such as Lemeridian, Golden Tulip, Radisson Moria etc'. All those hotels offers a great Spa Services so if you're about to stay at the area for more then one day then better spoile your self and enjoy it all.

The closest place to Masada to stay at is the Masada Guest House/Youth hostel. Our first impression wasn't good as we arrived at 12.30PM and were told that the room is not ready and we can check in only at 3.00PM. We drove to En Boqeq to kill time. (We drank tea and coffee, hung around, bought Dead Sea salt for bath and just waited.) We arrived a bit before 3.00PM and were told that the room is not ready... and we had to wait till 4.00PM to get the room! This was ridiculous. There were few other couples as well waiting for the rooms and they were real angry. Anyway, after we had got a room - and apologies from the management in form of a fruit plate to the room - we changed our attitude. The hostel has been built all new few years ago and it looks like a desert palace. The architecture is so beautiful and relaxing with desert colors and wonderful views to the desert and the Dead Sea. We got a room facing the sea. The room had shower/toilet, fridge, electric kettle and TV. Our stay included breakfast. The breakfast wasn't as grand as in Israel hotels, but there was lots of choice: eggs, salads, cheese, fruit, bread, and we were satisfied. On Shabbat night we went to hear the prayers at the synagogue and it was so moving to hear Jews praying by Masada after nearly 2000 years of the events there. We didn't pay for the stay as we got it from work, but I saw that a double room including breakfast costs about 350 NIS per night. It is worth it! And I would definitely go back.
Like a palace in the desert. Beautiful!
