If you have turned into a bundle of nerves from the unrestrained city bustle - this is the hotel for you: diligent staff, silence, lack of animation, classical music, champagne in the morning for breakfast and special bath salts - before going to bed... of course - morning mud procedures are already from 06:00 - on the beach and swimming in the Dead Sea, however, as well as afternoon mud... (choose your own time), fitness center and spa center... , balanced diet, lots of fruits, honey, nuts. . . - this is all Kempinski Ishtar. A sufficient number of rooms allows you to live in seclusion, perhaps when the low season begins and prices fall - everything is different, but in the high season it will be comfortable. The rooms are spacious, with / y: bath + shower with a full range of cosmetics, including tablets of fragrant salts, bathrobes, slippers... everything is as it should be. Rooms are offered to choose from: in Ch. bldg. , by the pools, on the beach - choose for yourself. We lived in the main room - in the rooms there is a large terrace, on which in the evenings we admired the sunset (all rooms with sea views) while drinking a mini-bar component and eating dinner (the menu for ordering in the room is decent, they cook deliciously, they bring it quickly... ) usually in a grill restaurant by the round pool (good salads, the first and of course grilled meat), several times we dined in Italian exclusively because of hookahs and cocktails (there is no lasagna! , the kitchen is better in other restaurants of the hotel, but it's all a matter of taste ) . I liked the fitness center, it is important that there is always drinking water (warm / hall), apples / bananas, so we even went with a teenage child (they are not allowed to go there). Mud is a separate “+”, but then you need to go for a week, no less - after the 4th day of the procedures, the heaviness and pain in the lumbar and collar zones that torment most office workers disappeared, and by the end of the rest I completely forgot about my osteochondrosis. But do not overdo it with them - they + sea water can burn the skin (especially important for women who, having arrived, decide to rejuvenate 20 years in 1 week, smearing on the face and under the eyes - the deepest peeling is provided to you to the meat : )) Transfer we didn’t order at the agency - there is a very civilized taxi service: when you exit at the airport you will immediately see their dispatcher and a board with specific prices, it’s 33 Jordanian tugriks to the hotel - many times cheaper than the agency offered, + they also give you a check! ), and from The hotel's Russian-speaking staff at the reception will order a taxi to the airport for $ 50-60 - they will take you comfortably, personally (without a group of tourists from neighboring hotels : )). In Petra, I advise an individual and 1-day exc. , and it’s better to eat when you return to your native Kempinski (at least we didn’t see a decent institution in Petra), take water from the hotel on the road, it will come in handy. If the weather allows (it won't rain) go on foot, you don't need horses - the main thing is comfortable shoes! But if you get tired, then their “carriage” is preferable, and not a separate horse. Enjoy your experience and have a good rest!
