The focus of the hotel are the 3 nice medium-sized pools catering the needs of kids and adults. Some beautiful greenery and flowers around. Then the hotel and the rooms would clearly need some refreshing. The a/c in the rooms is old and noisy (we were there during a heat wave). Breakfast and food are okeish, but not lavish, which I guess goes with moderate cost of the facility. Staff is very nice, but that sometimes does not balance out some shortcomings of the hotel itself. All in all, an ok place.

This place is absolutely disgusting. We booked 9 nights. This hotel is full of roaches!!!!! And they are really big…. To top it off the shower was broken upon arrival. Then the restroom door knob was broken. And we couldn’t even flush the toilet. We called them to fix or to switch us to a diffrent room. They declined and kind you they were at our hotel until 3 am to fix the restroom things and said we did the best we could. And as for the roaches. They said it comes with hotel we can’t do anything about it. But we can give you dinner buffet to make it up. But if you think about the breakfast buffet. It’s more of prison style breakfast. Meaning poor quality. And everything is covered in plastic and food just gets reused for next day.

Staff and the public areas are nice, but the room was dated. There is was an old school CRT TV, the fabric on the chair was ripped, and there were stains on the desk. However, the temperature control and bed were comfortable, the shower was good too.

Location was only perk

I prepaid on Expedia seventy dollars more per night than rate listed on hotel Form they gave me at check in. Hotel was listed as 4 stars, but it was very shabby, poorly upkept. Only WiFi was at reception desk—-guests were sitting in front steps of hotel around the clock on computers. Website listed free WiFi. No elevators. Had to unplug lamp to charge phone—-no outlets or charging ports. Very disappointing.

Didn't live up to our expectations

We travelled 2 weeks around Jordan with my wife and thought of having relaxed final days in South Beach, Aqaba. This hotel was by far the most expensive on our trip so we expected it to be clean and well maintained. The hotel didn't quite live up to these expectations. Our room was dusty, fridge smelled bad and was barely cold, and the balcony was dirty and had broken furniture. Overall, with these prices one expects that more careful attention is paid to details, especially when it comes down to cleaniness. This hotel probably is good for families with children because of pools and beach or groups who enjoy drinking by the pool while listening to constant techno pool music. However, our plan was to relax after active travelling and unfortunately this wasn't a good place for that. About the location, it is remote to any shops and restaurants, besides those that are inside the Tala Bay resort.
