Palm Beach Hotel and Country Club

Description:

• A high-rise with sweeping views, the Palm Beach is the best place to stay in Akko. The greatest benefit of staying here, in addition to the wonderful beach and view, is the free use of the country club and other facilities -- the outdoor pool is gigantic. While nonguests may be able to use the club when it's not too busy, staying at the hotel guarantees the privilege. All rooms have sea views and have been recently spruced up, but they're small, with 1980s decor; most double beds are full-size rather than the usual larger queen-size. All the hotel's restaurant facilities are kosher. There is a bus into town; the Old City is a 15-minute walk away.
