the location was awesome for us. we got up very early and headed to Massada by foot to climb up and watch the sunrise. We went up, watched the sunrise, walked down - and still we got on time to the great, very diversified breakfast. We got a room for 5 - which was clean and nice. double banks, and suited our expectations.
