The spa was great, but certainly not cheap. Other than the spa, there is really not much to do besides swimming. Don’t expect any night life. No WIFI in the rooms. The waiters need plenty of training. For the money spent on few drinks, one should expect top service. When comparing this Kempinski to the one in Istanbul, this gets... More

A nice touch at check in was a cold juice and chilled towel. We found the reception staff to be very welcoming and the porters were very friendly. We encountered a problem with the room allocated to us with a very high frequency noise which was continuous and apparently came from the chiller on the roof above our room on... More

This is a fantastic campus for some serious. Relaxation at the Dead Sea and the rooms, facilities and space is exemplary. The design is stunning, the atmosphere brilliant. Most of the staff are excellent and the attention to detail is true class. But ther are some flaws and if you haven't gone as a family then they probably stand out... More

We had an amazing 2 night stay at this resort. We stayed at the villas, which were very spacious, beautifully furnished, nice finishings. I don't understand how other reviews mention poor service, as we only had perfect service and staff was ever so friendly, helpful and professional. I guess it will depend on how you treat the personnel. Yes, you... More

Fabulous location, but service dreadful for the price. Waits for transport and service in the restaurants especially bad. Common for one person in our party to be left without a drink for 20 minutes, then have to ask for it again- and often waiter had forgotten the original order. Special shoes are recommended for swimming in the sea, and supposedly... More

A friend who lived in Jordan suggest this hotel, saying it was the best at the Dead Sea and he was right. I have previously stayed at the Movenpick, which is also a nice hotel but the Kempinski is above and beyond. The rooms are large and have nice views of the Dead Sea. The hotel is split between the...

We were in Jordan for ten days and we went to this hotel. The hotel is ideally located and the staff were pleasant to deal with. I would suggest this hotel to anyone traveling to Jordan, the room was very good and well provided with amenities.

I came back yesterday from my short stay at the Dead Sea. The Kempinski resort is really big, but the golf carts will take you from the main building to the villas, infinity pool, etc. It looks nice, a lot of flowers, oleanders, buildings well maintained. Check in was easy. I arrived early in the morning, around 10:15; the receptionist... More

We spent a couple of nights for a special anniversary at the Kempinski Dead Sea. The property is large and well maintained and the suites are relatively well appointed. Like other Kempinski properties the emphasis seems to be on size and grandeur rather than atmosphere. The property is a set of tiers down the side of a steep hill to... More
