In fact, for some reason, this hotel was officially assigned 3 *, in Jordan no one hides this. As well as the fact that the Jordanian king himself comes here to dive - a lover of extreme sports, including diving. The hotel really has all the conditions not only for diving, but also for a good beach holiday. The only negative exists only for families with children who need to go into the sea from the beach - since the hotel is located in a kind of protected area, abundantly populated with corals and colorful animals, a wooden bridge is adapted to enter the water. That is, for the little ones - quite dangerous. Do not even try to go into the water not on the bridge: firstly, when you try to approach, an uncle instantly draws, who will tearfully beg and tell horrors, and secondly, it can actually be VERY painful, there are very sharp corals and prickly "kunfuts" (sea urchin in Arabic). I highly recommend snorkelling! At a minimum, you need to buy discs with underwater photos or videos - A TALE, how beautiful!
Service at the hotel - for a strong 4 *, excellent service and food. Great food in the restaurant, excellent bar. We lived in a room on the 1st floor with access to the beach (to the water - 20 meters from the door), on the beach on the sidelines - a cafe with live Arabic music (in the evening), very nice and does not load. The territory is beautiful, well-groomed, 2 pools (for children and deeper), there is also a separate pool for training beginner divers. Dive masters are professionals, they speak excellent English. The reception will also answer in Russian, although there are few Russian-speaking tourists there. Everything you need for diving can be rented or bought in a shop on site. From the hotel to the city center (15 km) there is a shuttle bus (1dinar) 5 or 6 times a day or you can take a taxi (as you agree - from 5 to 10 dinars. Water and air temperature in October is about + 30-35. Before that we were in February - from 20 to 30 degrees (both air and water!!! ). On major Jordanian or Muslim holidays there are (infrequently) parties quite noisy, locals come, but always a very decent family audience. And it's always quiet and calm, somehow even sleepy. In general, we were very satisfied with the hotel! We wish everyone a pleasant stay!
