At this hotel, you don't have to go far from your room to get to the beach.

In this week's episode of "Being The Points Guy," Brian reviews his stay in a Junior Suite at the Hilton Tel Aviv. It passed the shower test, the towel test, and had beachside-views that were as magnificent as advertised. You could even see the ocean from the bathroom!

The room came out to about 80,000 points per-night (that's about $480 according to TPG's current valuations), but keep in mind that you can book with cash on the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card to earn a cool 14 points per dollar. Not too shabby.

All in all, despite some trouble locating the safe, consider Hilton Tel Aviv a TPG-approved spot to stay on your next vacation in Tel Aviv. Watch the review below, and don't forget to subscribe at the bottom of the page.
