I had a pleasant stay in a spacious hotel that offered stunning views of the port of Aqaba, perfect for watching the sunsets every night. While the rooms were really nice, the dining experience left something to be desired, especially the breakfast options. The location was fantastic for exploring the area, but the service could use some improvement, particularly during busy dining times.

While the rooms and cleanliness were decent, there's definitely room for updating, which detracted from the overall experience.

The hotel boasts a fantastic location, right in the heart of Aqaba and close to several local shops and restaurants. My room was spacious, comfortable, and had great views of the Red Sea, although there was a bit of smoke odor in the non-smoking area. The service was friendly, but I found it frustrating that local drinks weren't available until the last couple of days. Overall, the stay was enjoyable, but the dining experience could be improved, particularly with drink availability during meals.
