We got to this hotel and this resort unexpectedly for ourselves, for the company of friends. Before leaving, I read reviews to be prepared for surprises, but there were none - everything was at a very decent level. In order not to repeat previous commentators, I will leave only a few personal notes:
- immediately change the money for small bills (1 dinar) to thank the attendants - they do everything without a tip and are so friendly that you want to somehow express your gratitude;
- excursions are expensive, but if you come across a guide Stella - you will not regret the money paid - a very positive person and a storehouse of historical knowledge;
- do not regret in Petra to pay for the journey in the opposite direction on a donkey and on a horse (bargain, pretend to leave or choose another cab, but it's better to ride) - so you will have the strength to digest the impressions;

- when traveling to hot springs, be prepared for the fact that there will be a large number of Arab men in the water, so European women, in order to feel all the delight from this miracle of nature and not experience discomfort, you need to have either a T-shirt or a pareo and go in this in water. Of course, no one will kick you out in an open bathing suit, but it’s somehow uncomfortable;
- the hotel management holds meetings with a buffet for its guests (you will be notified by a letter in the room) - in this case it would be nice to have non-beach clothes and shoes. Again, no one requires a specific dress code, but I didn’t feel very comfortable in flip flops...
- be sure to look at the sunset - the sun sets right in Jerusalem. And the stars - at home they are not at all like that!
Enjoy your holiday and many thanks to everyone whose feedback helped us navigate!
