Being the second time in this hotel we were even more impressed than before. Our apartment on the 3rd floor was spotlessly clean and very comfy with a big reception room, kitchen, 1 double bedroom with an on suite, 1 bedroom with 2 small beds and a separate bathroom and 2 terraces with lovely views on Aqaba, the mountains, harbour and red sea. The staff at the reception desk, restaurants, beach, pools and room is a dream team, very professional with an eye for detail and always ready with a smile. The choice of food in the restaurant and beach bar is excellent with refined dishes of French, Italian, Indian, Asian and Middle East cuisine. We went with the free shuttle bus service provided by the hotel to the Mövenpick in Tala Bay to compare. That place is very big and beautifully designed. If you like huge swimming pools with lots of space than this Mövenpick is perhaps a better choice for you. The minor points of this hotel is that it's in a newly build area with strong winds and feels very international. This place could be anywhere in the world like Mexico, the Caribbean or Asia, whereas the Mövenpick Aqaba feels much more authentic and really like being in Jordan.

Top notch service where the staff go out of their way to ensure your comfort. We were pleased to accept a room upgrade to a beautiful apartment. The pool area and beach were immaculate and a great place to relax by. The food was excellent as well. Everything lived up to their 5-star rating. A very minor point in comparison to the overall stay was that the bathroom in our apartment (118) smelled of the toilet. The ensuite was spotless and smelled very clean so it didn't affect our stay.

Very friendly staff, nicely appointed room and a good breakfast buffet.
Lovely swimming pool and and excellent direct access to private beach from hotel.
Highly recommended. Only negative was high price of drinks at the hotel bar.

1. Lovely hotel, big comfortable rooms, excellent bathrooms, pool, fitness center.
2. Never have I been in a hotel with a more friendly staff. Totally efficient and helpful.
3. Nice private beach area -- rare in this very crowded location squeezed between two other countries.
