Finally used my nights/flights certificates that I have extended several times already - 2 back to back weeks at the Ritz. They upgraded us to a beautiful, large suite. The facilities and service are truly excellent. We were there for 2 Shabbosim which turned out to be wonderful! Met great ppl and even joined other ppl for the 1st Friday night dinner we were there. The Friday night food is pretty good bit IMHO nothing to get too excited over, but definitely good enough. They quoted us $100 pp for dinner but on the bill at check out both Fri nt dinners were $82pp. Breakfast on Shabbos morning after davening is until noon so we ate there and were good until after Shabbos. Both times came to $34pp. They actually serve cholent and shnitzel at the pool bar but we really weren't into going up to the pool on Shabbos, however some ppl we met did and brought the food back to their room and said it was really good. Spa and pool are both really great and the evening sunsets on the beach totally geshmak!  Of course kosher food options are limited but enough. We repeated the same restaurants over and over but was fine with us as we were just their to chill and use up those Marriott certificates!

Must have missed this when you posted it last month.  Thanks so much for the details, it's really helpful! I'm also using up a week cert on CHM Sukkot and this is super helpful, would have never thought to pay for breakfast on Shabbat (amazing that it's open until Noon!) and then get food to bring to the room for "seudah shlishit"...who knew it was such a frum pool bar, serving cholent!  ;D  This is our first time staying here instead of the Hilton TA and I'm bummed no breakfast or lounge (I know, boo hoo, my big problems)  :P but I'm getting really excited.  Thanks again and looking forward to our women's DO at the WAJ!

It's possible, since they can find out if a conference room is being used. But it's just frum people in the hotel making up to have a minyan shachris..

I got to give a shout out to the Ritz. I had mentioned to the conceirge that it was going to be my 10 year anniversary in January but we only had the abilities to go out now. They asked me to send them a family picture, which they put in my room along with a ton of chocalates huge balloons, and they upgraded me from 2 twin beds to the executive suite!!!! Absolutely incredible! I have 3 days here and will surely enjoy it so much more!

Is it just the time of year I was there or is the Ritz always this embarrassing when it comes to their food selection?!?!? They charge over 150 Sheq Per Person for one person making eggs for a FULL hotel. One lady making tiny pancakes. The buffet is tiny compared to other hotels. It was legit embarrassing.

What was there to love? There was barely any choices of breads. One guy making eggs for 300 people. One lady making tiny pancakes for 150 little kids all wanting to eat at the same time. There was a platter of lox a small platter of cheeses. A tuna salad, some cut vegis and that is it. It was all in one small back room of the dining room. This was literally a quarter the size of any of the Dan/Herod/Sheba hotels I have been to here.

They charge the same price for Shabbos and no one is making eggs

Sounds very different than when we were there in June. Guess that's the price you pay to travel in August in Israel.
