I beg to differ. A quick Google search shows that the average January daily high in Eilat is 66°F/19°C, a bit higher in months to either side. That's the high, so it's cooler most of the time; and, since it's the average, one should expect about half the days to be cooler. This is something one can easily check before traveling to an area in the expectation of lying on the beach in the sun. It's hardly the hotel's fault if one doesn't, and shouldn't be cause for a negative hotel review.
If one were reviewing January travel destinations for beach aficionados, it would be different.
