The service at the Jerusalem Sheraton was *awful* and I wasn't upset to see it go.

Back on topic ...

I spoke with a cousin who lives outside Tel Aviv and who travels heavily - apparently there was a Hyatt planned beach-side in TLV several years ago (maybe the same one 1/4MM@20 is referring to) but my cousin hasn't heard a peep about it in a while.
