Vista is just the name for the top floors of the Hilton Tel Aviv.
I stayed there a couple of times, it's basically the same rooms but you get access to the Vista lounge on top floor, which is significantly better than the executive lounge, with better sitting, food etc.

IMHO not worth the money vs regular room, unless you're planning on spending plenty of time in the lounge. I know people who host all their business meetings there, in which case it makes sense

thanks for the response. On the hilton site, it says the hotel is called Vista - that's what I thought 
Does anyone know if I can use the free weekend voucher there?

Whats the deal with VAT? When trying to book Elma, it shows that VAT is charged per person. Can that possibly be true?

Has to be a mistake!
Also, not sure if relevant to you but tourists don't be VAT in hotels

For sure.  Just used mine there the Shabbat before Pesach.  It's such a fun hotel, with a great pool and lounge and very nice Shabbat services as well.

For whom it may concern, I wasn't finding any Queen of Sheba (Eilat) availability on the Hilton website. Just talked to them and they are no longer with Hilton, switching to be independent. They also told me they heat their pool in January so I'm hoping to go there anyway...

Yup, they, along with the Hilton Taba, left Hilton

Yes

Yes

For everyone or only if they upgrade you to a club level room?  I always got it but I'm a diamond.  I'm not sure if gold's automatically get it.

For everyone.
In addition, Gold and Diamond get access to the executive lounge, even if they don't get upgraded to the executive floors

Going up north next week and still haven't book a room!! I saw some requests for info but not many replies - sorry if I missed them and I'm being repetitive:

Looking for a place, hotel or villa/rental for 2 adults and 2 kids (couch bed works) somewhere around $100-$125/night. Closer to Tzfas/Tveria preferred but anywhere is ok. Tried the regular hotel search site but it's hard to know what is what.

TIA!

Not sure if this will work. But this is my friend's place right next to their house and I'm pretty sure it would fit four. I would just message them (I told them I was posting):
