Subscribed to the channel of one guy, he has a video on youtube. In early November, he bought a last-minute ticket to Jordan from Moscow for 4 nights with breakfast and dinner in a 5 * hotel for 25 thousand rubles, the Oryx hotel akaba. The reviews were contradictory, but the hotel is clean, the food is good, there are a lot of Russian-speaking tourists (according to him), the only thing that is far from the sea, they were taken to the beach of some hotel on the seashore and they used sunbeds there, people in November there were few on the beach. And to the nearest outlets it was necessary to walk a little, since there is nothing very close to the hotel. He and a friend also found a beach a 15-minute walk from the hotel, but as it turned out that almost no one swims there and local Arabs rest, so they didn’t dare to come close.
If this option suits you, then I think you should go. From his words, they traveled by bus for about 20 minutes to the beach, but it may have seemed to him, since they were there only 1 time, the rest of the days they were on excursions.

I think everything will be fine with you, only the beach is far away.

Wow. No, it doesn't suit me, of course.
I just looked that 5 * in Aqaba is Interconti, Movenpick and Kempinski.
Oryx - I didn’t even see such a name. Thank you very much, everything is canceled :)

Take 4 * - Marina Plaza, it is located on the territory of a 5 * resort, there is a good beach and reefs. The small rooms are the only drawback of this hotel.
As for the reviews about Oryx 5 *, I would not refuse this offer, although the hotel is not located directly on the beach. Firstly, the distance to the beach is certainly not a 20-minute drive!))) If you walk very slowly, you can try (!) to walk from it in 20 minutes. The beach is good there. The hotel itself, although in the city, but in a fairly quiet area, I rented an apartment nearby - very clean, calm, taxis constantly go (cheap!), Walk to entertainment - well, about a kilometer. Another thing is that there are not so many entertainments in Aqaba. If you were in Cyprus, then Aqaba is much more like Cyprus than Egypt or Turkey. In many ways.
I don’t really understand, to be honest, why is the distance to the beach so confusing? The bus will take you there, you can go back for a walk around the city (not far from the beach!), have lunch, take a taxi ($1-1.5!) and come back! :)

This does not mean that if a guy from Moscow was settled in that hotel, Fortuna is determined on the spot by how busy the rooms are in any hotel. For example, in Tunisia, according to Fortune 5 *, we were settled in 5 * in Monastir on the first line, other people in another hotel .

Yes I know. But I'm not ready to play "fortune" if there are those on the list of possible hotels that do not suit me :) I was just convinced that in Aqaba 5 * is ONLY Kempinski, two Movenpicks, Intercontinental and Radisson. Any of them would suit me. But Oryx is not, so we won't risk it.

In the city, these are Intercontinental, Moevenpick, Kempinski. 12 km from the city - Radisson.
You can look at hotels on direct booking sites, choose, and then make a request through the tour office for the hotel that you like. You will have the cost of a charter flight plus a hotel, most often tour offices give a lower price for this package than you booked everything yourself directly.
Plus transfer and insurance - which is also pleasing.
Tourist offices do not always post different hotels - it is more profitable for them to load quite certain ones, which they announce. But a tourist can always choose another hotel and book it. Perhaps your 5 * will be a little more expensive, but will meet your wishes.
Of course, you don’t have to choose according to the stock. And most likely it will be Oryx
