What is a vacation unit in Ma'agan Eden?
The resort operates on a mixed model - some of the rooms belong to the kibbutz, and some (about 40 units) to private investors. The owners are kibbutz members or external investors who purchased the unit. The kibbutz manages:
- Marketing on all platforms (Booking, ISRHotels, Israeli, personal website)
- Reservations and check-in
- Cleaning between guests
- Ongoing maintenance
- Customer service
- Payment collection
The owner does not need to deal with anything - everything is managed professionally.
