Where should I stay in Tel Aviv?

Question

I'm thinking about the sheraton or the hilton. I have little kids so is the saltwater pool at the hilton good for kids?

Answer 1

in a house.

Answer 2

From a research done in Ausralia on salt water pools and children

Swimming in salt water, report the researchers, acts as the equivalent of a nasal and ear washout and also cleanses the skin, helping to minimize the likelihood of infections.

The study involved about 60 children in each community, who were assessed for ear and skin infections before the pools opened. Researchers found 62 percent and 70 percent, respectively, suffered from skin infections and 32 percent in both communities had suffered a perforation of the eardrum due to ear infections. Follow-ups with some of the children indicated a significant decline in both conditions 18 months after the pools opened.

At the final follow up, only 18 percent of the children in the first community and 20 percent in the second community had skin infections. Figures for perforations of the eardrum fell to 13 percent and 18 percent, respectively.

Frommer's Review-The New York Times

The massive Hilton is set far back from Ha-Yarkon Street in a small park overlooking a quiet, sheltered area of Tel Aviv's beachfront. Although built in the 1960s, public areas and guest rooms here were completely redone in 1998-99. A strong point is the hotel's superb state-of-the-art business center, the best in Israel and always buzzing (the Hilton's a focal point for business ties between Israel and Asia). But the hotel is also well attuned to vacationers, and offers a full range of recreational facilities. Better-category rooms are the among best in Tel Aviv, decorated with tasteful accessories and classic fruit-wood furniture; a variety of stylishly designed suites are offered (one has a Jacuzzi and a corner window with spectacular views of the sea). Lower-category rooms are also well designed. All rooms have balconies. Restaurant facilities (including a well-patronized kosher sushi bar!) are top quality, spacious, and varied. The location is a bit of a hike from the major streets of interest, but the sheltered Hilton beach is one of the nicest in town. The large saltwater swimming pool, refilled each day and heated in winter, is a real plus, and unique among Tel Aviv hotels. The staff here is very skilled, although for some visitors, perhaps a bit self-important.

Answer 3

both the hotels are great in tel aviv, both well situated and on the beach, but i prefer the Hilton hotel and pool and its close to a children's play ground and its walking distance to the old tel aviv harbour, where there are lots of restaurants, coffee places abd shops.

dont worry about the salt water pool it is fine for kids , i live in south africa and many people have salt water pools at home and its fine for kids, its just an alternate system to pools with chlorine,     *  Salt is softer on your skin.

    * The new salt systems are great, as they monitor and clean themselves.

    * You also do not have the obnoxious little floater in your pool all the time with salt.

    * Both systems generate Disinfection By Products (DBP). Both systems are very climate dependent and also vary based on pool usage.

wherever you stay, i am sure you will have a great holiday, enjoy
