IN terms of the hotel itself. The property is the one that had previously been called the Renaissance. While I haven't been there personally I know my driver in Israel goes yearly with his immediate family. They ( he and his wife) love that they basically just let their kids loose! He reports it is really nice, loads of stuff to do and very busy. With pools etc. etc. I would imagine that the weekend is full of kids. If you are going with only your new wife then I would think mid week would be much better than the weekend.

The Dan was not the former Renaissance, The Ramada today was the former Renaissance
I find most of the hotels in Israel have a 3pm check-in time, show up before that and if you arent a reg guest theres a good chance you will be told to come back @ 3pm , thats even with tons of rooms being available. The only exception I ran into was if my checkin was on a Fri (eve Shabbos) or on an eve Yom Tov, and I contacted the hotel in advance and asked for an early check-in.
