WAJ- 3 nights-  2 weekend nights + 80K HH
RITZALIYA- 2 nights- 1 free night plus 16.667 SPG
Setai Upper Galilee- with (semi) private pool- 1 night-  Wanted to use CSR but they couldnt pull up the hotel (well actually they pulled it up and said that they couldnt book it as they do not have a contract with them) So I bit the bullet and decided to pay 1 night with cash as I was using points for everything else. Heard that the hotel is amazing so looking forward. Price was $545

Still need to book my last night which will be a short night as my flight out will most likely be @ 8 AM any suggestions are welcome!

Great itin, but is it worth going up north for just one night?

We will be leaving early Sunday morning to got to the Setai, who knows when I will be able to come back to EY I heard that area is amazing. We were planning on coming back towards monday night, is that really too short?

The area is amazing and the hotel looks amazing too, I'm just not sure killing 6 hours driving is worth it for just 1 night there.

So much to do between Tiverya, Tzfas, and the Golan...

IC TLV is a great option if you have your own free night or points.

Currently staying there. Didn’t get an upgrade because apparently they were at near full occupancy. No free breakfast either but location is good and rooms are nice!

1 Night at the Conrad BOB paying $1,300 with BMG cert

Booked 5 nights at SR BOB a while ago for 420k SPG hoping that a standard room will open up for me to switch too but nothing has so I think I am just going to go through with spending all these SPG points... So 5 nights at SR and 1 night at Conrad BOB.

Sorry for the confusion, it is for 2 separate trips, in first week of August 2018,doing a family trip, we booked the Domes of Elounda for 5 nights, now searching for tickets . On the GH Athens I booked a late November 2018 2 night stay for a business trip.

you might confusing with Zilara. Ziva allows kids.
Just make sure that they won't give you a problem with 16yo. I just booked there and they told me very clearly that if were under 18 we won't be allowed.
Stand corrected - sorry! I’m headed to Zilara.

Hi. Thanks to both of you.
Yes, it is wonky that they consider the 16yo an adult for booking purposes but won’t allow at an adult - only property.
