I've been to Aqaba several times and simply wouldn't dream of staying at a hotel with no beach access. I was sent to here on business so on my free morning I paid 20JD as a day guest at the Movenpick next door so I could use their beach and pool. If you go during a public holiday or school... more

service here is very cold. breakfast sucks but location is decent. cost per night is certainly too high for the service and surroundings. more

The Gulf hotel is pretty dated and just pretty average. The walls were paper thin - so could hear loads of noise either side of the room through the night.

One day we returned to find our towels arranged as two swans !! The staff were so friendly and helpful particularly those in the... more

The ratings are deserved, great place for the price, good views, excellent food, friendly staff. We were here as part of a package tour. Would stay again. more

I spent a week in Aqaba Gulf Hotel with my husband. We were very much satisfied in every respect. The location is very good. The hotel is clean, the service was friendly. It is a pity though, that the beach was a bit far away. more
