The air conditioning was disappointing for me. It kept feeling like a sauna, even though the room itself was clean and spacious, with a comfortable bed. The pillows are soft, so you need to like that. The bathroom was a decent size and clean, and the shower pressure was good. There’s a nice, comfortable pool area, though nothing special. Honestly, I’d skip the pool and take the hotel bus to Benerdice Beach Club. The bus isn’t free, and entry costs 10JD, but I thought it was worth it. The beach was clean, the Red Sea lovely, and the food tasty. They even had decent Nespresso coffee. Inside the hotel, the food was fine, about what you’d expect from a resort. The coffee, though, is a sin, but I’m a real coffee lover, so don’t take that too seriously. It feels surreal walking in, very much like little Russia. Staff speak Russian and Arabic, and some speak English too. In busy Aqaba, I’d recommend staying here.
