Israeli option of Kibbutz as hotel
"Why don't you try Kibbutz Haon?" a friend asked as we sat in her apartment in Herzliah, poring over a map of northern Israel.My partner, Ian, and I were looking for someplace more authentic to stay, someplace more Israel and less Hilton. We certainly didn't want to spend a small fortune. It didn't help that it was April, the week before Passover, and most hotels were booked up.

Tourists and volunteers during a cook out in Kibbutz Lotan, about 30 miles from the southern tourist city of Eilat, Israel.

But its biggest focus is ecology.
