    Really good beach! chairs are comfortable, sun is shaded by umbrellas and activities are held daily on the beach. There is a club for children on the beach, they can draw and colour their drawings and do exciting activities every morning. There is a Cafe on the beach, you can order any drink, ice cream is also available. It has comfortable chairs and tables so you can work while enjoying the beach. There is a small cottage for sea activities, you can book your favourite trips and activities. The beach is surrounded by outstanding nature, life guards are available.

    Staff very friendly and their services are excellent. Food menu above average. Pool and beach are very beautiful and well taken care. Rooms are old & furniture very humble, i took a suit and found that balcony shared between multiple rooms with other guests.. privacy & safety could be an issue Bathrooms very small, you can not have the aromatic atmosphere

    Hotel was in a very good location, extremely cleverly designed. The hotel was connected to a beach with a bridge which had an amazing swimming pool and jacuzzi on top. The overall hotel was top quality and beautiful. The private beach was lovely too. Excellent service throughout. Really good breakfast with plenty of choice and vegetarian options. Room inc. bathroom were bright ,spacious and clean. Excellent hotel, highly recommend.

    I am so sorry I did not pay attention to the negative reviews regarding this hotel. This hotel should not be rated 5 star. The furniture at the room, a premium sea view, is old, torn and stained. The balcony apparently has not been cleaned ages. Old uncomfortable mattress. The sheets and towels are low quality because of over use. The hotel needs an urgent renovation and the captivating pictures do not represent correctly the reality of the facility. The location is fabulous though. We were told we cannot bring in any food or drinks! Never heard such a requirement in my 40 years of traveling. On check out they will subject you to very unprofessional security check out apparently because they put security tags on towels and they have not heard of false alarms. The guests, it feels, are considered as potential harm. and there is a feeling of lack of real hospitality and generosity.

    We had a great time at this hotel. It was relaxing and fun. The staff was very friendly, they even upgraded me and my family to a suite so we could all be together. Thank you for the amazing time! We would love to come back.

  • 4/5 Waleed R. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice hotel and venue with their own private beach strip. The rooms could do with some TLC. The staff are great and especially Maylen N. part of the cleaning staff. She went over and beyond and keeping the room tidy and spotless despite the aging state of the entire facility. A real pleasure to see. Would I stay here again? Yes.

  • 5/5 In L. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing stay. A lot of accommodating staff reception and the breakfast was amazing too. I had a massage session after the ayla marathon and it was so perfect. But just a bit disappointed in sauna and jacuzzi need to focus to its cleanliness.

  • 5/5 Shimon E. 1 year ago on Google
    We've mad our first reservation this summer and had great time the whole time staying. The pools (four pools!) are perfect for the family of mix ages. The food is delicious and the service is VIP!

  • 3/5 Rula S. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely location, amazing beach and pools facilities great view and good staff. I expected The level of cleanliness to be better. I don’t recommend including breakfast in your booking ( it is not worth it) . There are some great restaurants around that you may try and enjoy.

  • 4/5 Neil R. 1 year ago on Google
    Luxurious and welcoming, this was a great place to stay. The family apartments were spacious and well-appointed. Nice pool and beach, good breakfast and friendly staff. A bit heavy on the security and being scanned each time to prevent anything being brought in or out, but a comfortable and well-situated hotel.

  • 2/5 Василий �. 11 months ago on Google
    The only plus of this hotel is the shore, without stones, not deep, no reef for snorkeling . Lots of greenery,free sauna! Room cleaning is good! Kitchen is very poor for 5 stars. The first impression that there is nothing delicious to eat: meat is dried, chew not possible, omelette need to order, who this not knows, settle for boiled egg, coffee need to order too. Fast, but we have empty hotel now. If it will be full, i don’t know. no seafood, minimum seasonal fruits. Sometimes water poured from already open bottles brought from the other's table! Towels are chipted, went to the diving, took a small towel for the face, after a long explanation with the guard that I will return towel in 5 hours, carry out not given! Animation. Minimum. 7 people go behind each other, work on photo report on the work done. No shows. Tried 2 days to get a ball for volleyball game, found a slumped ball that can't be played. Done. Children's animation like there is, no children’s with us. Total savings on everything. Price quality does not match.

    Overall, everything is excellent; the rooms are lovely, and the swimming pools are exceptionally enjoyable. However, there are a few details we wish had been communicated in advance, like the unexpected charge for drinks during dinner without prior notice that they weren't included. On a brighter note, we absolutely adored the entertainment show put on by the animation team – they're incredibly talented and radiate positive vibes!

  • 5/5 Marta R. 4 months ago on Google
    Clean, comfortable and perfect for adults and kids. My son need a gluten free diet and they were perfect providing informations and a lot of gluten free options. Staff is incredibly nice!Water slides, swimming pools (even hot tubs 34°C) and the garden are amazing. Very good food. Sea view is the cherry on top of the cake!

  • 5/5 Christiana P. 5 months ago on Google
    At a very convenient location at the centre of the city where you can go anywhere on foot. Neat rooms, friendly staff and beautifully decorated lobby. Our visit on the rooftop jacuzzi and pool early in the morning was the most pleasant. We also enjoyed the entertainment (belly dance) the hotel was offering at night. Great restaurant with surprisingly good buffet and wide variety of dishes. Probably the best hotel in Aqaba.

  • 5/5 Fatima S. 6 months ago on Google
    The Hotel is a highly regarded establishment known for its exceptional service, beautiful views of the Red Sea, and comfortable accommodations. Guests often praise the spacious rooms, well-maintained facilities, and a variety of amenities such as swimming pools, restaurants, and beach access. Its central location also makes it convenient for exploring the city and enjoying water activities. Everything was perfect! The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was both relaxing and unforgettable.

    We have just returned from another wonderful stay at the Movenpick. It's such a welcoming hotel. From the moment we arrive the staff are so attentive in every department from poolside to housekeeping, reception and dining. Everywhere is spotlessly clean. A special thank you to Waheed and his team for the exceptional breakfasts and for taking such great care of us. Looking forward to seeing you again next year.

  • 2/5 Malak M. 7 months ago on Google
    As a resident paying money to stay at the hotel you would expect to be made to feel welcomed and respected. Unfortunately, that was not the case for me as the receptionist was super rude and entitled. My simple request to pray was disrespectful denied without giving a reason and while checking out, i stood in line for at least ten minutes and was not acknowledged despite it being my turn and her (the receptionist) being stood behind the counter and fully able to see me and my friend.

  • 5/5 Mel F. 5 months ago on Google
    Perfect location to relax and recharge your batteries :-) We got a free room upgrade, the staff was very kind, the breakfast was great and with huge variety, the beach was clean and welcoming. One of many highlights was the chocolate hour - don't miss it :-) Thank you very much!

  • 5/5 Khalid O. 6 months ago on Google
    We are spending here 3 days.. food in restaurants and rooms are good, everything is clean. Pools are great, comfortable location of hotel and beach not far from rooms and everything. We gonna stay here 2 days more and going to come back with family again.

  • 5/5 Tarun M. 6 months ago on Google
    We were upgraded to a suite upon checkin. The staff were awesome and very attentive, the accommodations were spacious and very comfortable. The facilities were great and the location amazing! Only negative feedback I have is that the gym equipment is quite outdated.

  • 5/5 Mary P. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely a beautiful hotel right across the street from the entrance to Petra. The rooms are large, clean & comfortable. Food service is excellent. There are several restaurants and a beautifully decorated central courtyard which serves as a lounge.

  • 5/5 Mim O. 2 years ago on Google
    What can i say? My experience of three days was absolutely fascinating 🤩! Starting by the wonderful Sweet, the view, the beautiful crystal clear beach, the impeccable service and sweet staff to the relaxing vibes, Massage & Sauna. And to top it all, the food!! The food is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars in my opinion, delightful & very tasty. I’m very grateful that i had such experience & I would like to thank Majdi for taking care of us during our staying. Will for sure come back.

A place to stay and relax for minimum one week!! We'll be definitely back soon!

  • 5/5 Morgan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow! What a beautiful hotel. We didn’t stay but came to use the facilities for 2 days. The pools are just beautiful and their private beach is heavenly. The water is so clear. The way the hotel is laid out outside is stunning too, with a waterfall off the building, beautiful flowers over archways, well maintained hedges, 3 gorgeous pools and hot tubs. We enjoyed two lovely lunches at Al Shatt restaurant virtually on the beach and it was so relaxing. We ordered drinks to our loungers in the sand and never wanted to leave. We paid 25JOD each for use or the facilities but worth it. Loved it, thanks for having us!

  • 1/5 Maj A. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful from outside, great looking lobby. The worst rooms, it's outdated rooms. Beds are old, not enough outlets. Very old furnitures. I would not stay in this hotel until it gets updated.

  • 5/5 Yousuf P. 2 years ago on Google
    Brilliant Beach! Super calm relaxing beach no stress or worries coming here, can relax leave your phone out. Safe and secure here, plus a great restaurant nearby and very helpful staff and great facilities, close to the swimming pools and spas. Amazing!

  • 3/5 Lumi C. 2 years ago on Google
    Crowded, many noisy boats, not so clean beach. But... Nice in the sunset.

  • 5/5 Amany 2 years ago on Google
    A super friendly staff! Beach and pools are both amazing .. Rooms are elegant and clean!

  • 5/5 qais a. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best trips I have made to Aqaba, especially my choice of the Movenpick downtown Hotel - Aqaba, where all the pools and the room were very clean, and I would like to thank Ms. Laila for her interest of the client’s satisfaction in thier stay in the hotel.

  • 5/5 Noor B. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly, proffesional staff and clean facilities. Beautiful architecture that really sets the mood. The beach is nice, as well. There are also nice activities and shows in the evening time. My family and I watched a fire show and it was really nice. 👍🏻

  • 4/5 wesam 4 years ago on Google
    Fair enough service, with friendly staff clean rooms ,the water in the coolers is not really mineral , you can tell the whole city aqaba is under an economic pressure, this hotel managed to cope with it fairly without affecting the service much , I would recommend that they have someone to tend for all the trash the sea throw on the beach which a lot .

  • 4/5 Costi R. 1 year ago on Google
    This hotel is at a great location, amazing deep pool and beautiful beach. Helpful and friendly service. The lost star is due to the fact that smoking is allowed EVERYWHERE. We couldn't sit on our balcony because the surrounding rooms smoked all the time. People were smoking near the pool and at the restaurant. There was no "smoke free" area anywhere.

  • 5/5 J A. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything was perfect, I went with my family on Christmas, yet felt really good to be there, the food was delicious, the weather was cool though it was winter. Totally recommended.

  • 5/5 Chiara V. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place. Animation team “blossom” so funny and has interesting activities. Friendly staff, nice view 😊

  • 4/5 Linda A. 1 year ago on Google
    Bought day pass for 25 JD. You get the access to the beach and pools for the day. In 46 degrees it was the only option

  • 5/5 Marietta K. 1 year ago on Google
    Private beach and clean. I really enjoyed my stay in the hotel. I suggest it

  • 5/5 Ala' B. 1 year ago on Google
    They say; old is gold! This is so true for this place! Once you enter, you feel like an old Islamic place! The architecture is amazing! Let me start with the rooms, big, spacious, luxurious and comfy! The service is so great and quick! Employees are so kind and cooperative. The apartments are another story! They are so close to the beach and pools area, they have a wonderful terrace, great for families. Food in this hotel is delicious! And don’t forget to try Movenpick ice cream Beach and pools are so clean and full of life and colors. I love this hotel, and I highly recommended it

  • 4/5 Jeff S. 1 year ago on Google
    Stayed one night at this hotel. Check in wasn't the most pleasant. I did arrive early and they said they would text me when my room was ready. They didn't. I went back to the front desk hours later to find out my room was ready but they didn't let me know. They made up by giving me an upgrade. It was much appreciated. Pools were excellent, restaurants were efficient and the food was good. Resort type food. Nothing too special. Overall a great resort and would recommend.

  • 5/5 Katrien V. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful, beautiful resort! They were kind enough to upgrade us to a suite. We felt like royalty. Connecting rooms for families. We were in the main building. View on the open lot next to hotel wasn't spectacular but mountains in distance and view of the sea from the side. Balcony. Spacious, beautiful rooms. Good shower. Friendly kind staff. Rooms were definitely not outdated like some people mention in the reviews. One heated pool, very hot jacuzzi. Private beach with beds and towels.

  • 5/5 Basel S. 1 year ago on Google
    Prime spot for access to both beach and city. Excellent service by staff. Very good beach facilities for guests. Wide selection of dilicious dishes at both breakfast and dinner, including my gluten-free food needs. Clean and well serviced rooms. Spent three day vacation and enjoyed it.
