The Spa is amazing. The pool is beautiful. We ended up eating at a barbeque on the beach because we came on the one night a week they did it. The best massage I ever had. LOVED it! Now, you can see the shipping containers nearby, so your views aren't unspoiled, but every room has an ocean view and I... More

The best hotel that we stayed at in Jordan. Very stylist, peaceful and elegant. The rooms are stunning and the service is excellent. Food and drink prices are VERY high but then it's the same at all of the major hotels.

We spent our May holiday in this place. I've made my choice based on tripadvisor's reviews and significant advertising campaign of Jordan's resorts undertaken in Ukraine nowadays. Please consider my feedback as the gap between the expectations and reality is fairly huge. First, Aqaba is seaport, moreover, it's phosphate transportation port. Everyday you will enjoy wonderful white fog over the... More

Kempinski hotels are always impeccable, but my father and I found the service in this hotel particularly disarming. Staff were excellent. Room was slick and minimalist modern, which isn't usually my style, but in such hot conditions, perfect. Swimming pool was unique in shape and style and very long indeed, I would imagine Olympic sized, which was good fun. Breakfast... More
