Great hotel with very friendly staff, no matter wether reception, with the food or the service. Great room with sea view. Half board worth it in my opinion not really since daily transaction (especially on themed nights ) in the hotel the evening buffet some Euro was cheaper than the half board in the travel catalog. Contrary to first fears every day lovely weather. Although it only at the end of february was every day 25 degrees, in amman 1 week before about 15 degrees. The center from Aqaba is in a few minutes by foot. Only one negative was ... a loud, unannounced construction on the nebengrundstück. read more

    The rooms are big (47 meters²?). The furnishings could be a bit better. It was only a chair available, we got on request additionally a chair and a small table. The lights are at the rear of the bed appropriate. They are way too small and give too few light. You can read only. If the schanenhals directly on the book aligns. A additional table lamp on the nightstand would be very pleasant. Even if you all verfügbren lamps uses, it's always still dumkel in the room. We often have the light in the bathroom turned on, so that, through the window, the between bathroom and bedroom is, still a bit light into the room may be. Room service was twice daily! Cleanliness: very good The air conditioning worked out very well. From dicoschiff the closed balcony door nothing more heard. The mini bar we can free of charge use. The was very generous, when booking we didn't know. Perhaps, because few guests in may were there?

    With the half-board we of the breakfast and dinner on a large sheltered balcony serves. Inside to sit ( air conditioning) is naturally also possible. The choice of meals isn't very large, but very fine and well zuberieítet. There was a lot of fish and sometimes theme nights. The women, of the restaurant and the cooks were very attentive and accommodating. Everything was very clean, the table cloths were always changed, if the guests leave the table. The atmosphere was during dinner quiet, there were few guests there. Americans came in shorts and slippers for dinner.

    The staff consisted mainly of women from the Philippines. In the restaurant had a German an executive position. With English you could communicate without. The cleaning of the rooms was very thorough, extra wishes like for instance a additional chair and table were immediately fulfilled. In the bathroom was a mirror broken. He was immediately repaired.

    There was a dicoschiff near the shore (we didn't). Wi-fi was in the lobby and on our balcony possible (2. the top floor). The pool is similar to a maze designed. You can literally in curves greater distance swimming. Between the individual courses is lawn, on the whole pool area to a pleasant air conditioning and refrigeration help. The sun loungers were at the weekend by the pool not enough, at the beach were sufficient chairs available. For every two loungers is a sun screen there.

    The hotel has a small beach, by a rope enclosed. If you the rope has achieved, you can still stand. For all motorboats you can't go open sea swim out. To the center from Aqaba you need about 15 minutes (turn right from the hotel, direction McDonald's). Opposite of the hotel are small supermarkets. The possibilities for outings were limited. There was a contact person for excursions, but since too few tourists in the may were there, no bus tours be booked. We have a pivatauto with chauffeur to price the tour get (wadi rum circa 70 Euro, Petra 90 Euro and guide 50 Euro, madaba, totes sea for 110 Euro we would like to be to Jerusalem dangers, but a daytrip would have 500 Euro cost plus entry and grenzgebühren.

    the hotel lies with its own beach nice on the red sea. Besides are still some hotels as for example the Mövenpick hotel. After a couple of minutes towards the center one reaches a shopping center with a good chinese restaurant, next door is a McDonalds. Then one comes to a roundabout and the town center with Souk.

The hotel opened in November 2009. Very tastefully decorated. It is located directly on the Red Sea. The pool area is very nice - there is even a jacuzzi which was heated, so that one could swim until 11:00 P.M. The restaurant is very clean and the staff very friendly. We have booked it in order to visit Petra and Wadi (2 nights). Great hotel - highly recommended. read more
