At the Dead Sea Spa Hotel, many guests relish the variety of pools, direct beach access, and indulgent spa amenities, not to mention the quintessential Dead Sea experience; however, the gym facilities sometimes fall short of expectations. While opinions on value vary, with some finding it satisfactory and others deeming it pricey, the hotel consistently receives accolades for its serene atmosphere and cultural offerings.
The service is generally commended for being professional and friendly, and while there is occasional feedback suggesting improvement, most travelers enjoy the spacious and pristine rooms that boast striking views.

We stayed at this hotel on December 31st and January 1st. The discovery of this village, of these rooms is magnificent. Numerous fountains or water jets are present here and there. Access to the Dead Sea is facilitated by shuttles, the beach is guarded and showers are available. Plus, two swimming pools are heated in December as well as the jacuzzi. The only downside is the New Year's Eve buffet, very nice but very bad and very expensive, 130 dinars per person for the meal... on the flight....

After reading recent reviews we were a little trepidatious that we'd booked this hotel. After a long drive from the airport we arrived at 11.30 pm Ibrahim on the desk was lovely and upgraded us to a large corner room with sea views. On the surface the room was great but small things let it down like loose electric socket fittings. We ate in the restaurant as there's not much else around other than other hotels. Shadi was great as were the waiting staff. In fact I would only give the hotel 3 stars if it weren't for the staff. The dead sea access is OK down a long path, there are sunbeds and umbrellas and lots of cigarette buts in the sand. There's a pot of dead sea mud you can use and showers on the beach. The outdoor pools weren't heated and were chilly. The indoor pool wasn't open which I was really looking forward to even though I could see it was full and all the pumps were working so that seemed a waste Drinks were very expensive, like hotels the world over I suppose but 7JOD for 2 thin cans of coke Zero is taking the mickey. In the evening we tried the pub I asked for a piña colada but there was no pineapple juice he offered to make it with orange. I declined. Once the large group of people left the bar for dinner all the music was switched off as if we weren't there! Very strange. All in all it was OK if you can't afford one of the more expensive hotels next door. It was probably the height of luxury when built but has seen better days.

Dear 759 Evap Thank you for your thorough comments about the Dead Sea Resort and Spa Hotel. Drinks and food worldwide tend to be higher at Resorts than outside of Resorts, and we feel we are competitive in price. We appreciate your comments about Shadi, Ibrahim, and others who made your stay a nice visit. Thank you.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveler reviews.
We used the hotel to swim in the Dead Sea and in the pools. For 20 JOD per person, which is worth simple access, they could offer a towel included and yet they charge for it. We cannot comment on the rest of the hotel since we did not spend the night.

Hotel well cared for in the outdoor spaces with access to the private beach which leads directly onto the Dead Sea equipped with mud baths and shower. Unfortunately the rooms have very heavy doors that slam shut and due to the noisy closing of the doors it was difficult to rest at night. The air conditioning inside the rooms is very noisy and the bathrooms are poorly lit. Dinner buffet varied but not of excellent quality.

This is a fabulous hotel and it was a real treat for us after several days touring and getting tired and dusty. The hotel is on several levels and each is well appointed with an abundance of marble. There are four pools and I liked the fact that there was one just for adults. There is direct access from the hotel down to the Dead Sea where you can float then daub yourself in mud. It's interesting and scary to see how much the sea level has dropped in recent years.
The dining room is large and bright or you can eat outdoors choosing foods from the very well stocked buffet.
I didn't try a spa treatment but spoke with someone who did and they said it felt luxurious.

Sea view room not very clean. We found 1 can in the minibar and hair, hair. A bellman entered the room while we were inside without knocking, with the service key... he had to do maintenance on the next room with the wrong number. Many useless excuses for the inefficiencies, you pay like 4 stars but the service is poorer, dilapidated sunbeds on the beach, new ones at the pools. Cheap food at the dinner buffet and drinks not included 3 jod a bottle of water which must be paid immediately and cannot be put on the room bill, much better for breakfast. For the rest it is convenient for the location, access to the beach and mud, internal parking with shade. Unfortunately in the area there are only this type of All inclusive facilities for sleeping and having convenient access to the beach

We spent two days and two nights in this hotel. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with all the necessary equipment: fridge, air conditioning, wifi, toiletries etc... The bathroom is a good size with a shower and bathtub (bathtub unfortunately unusable due to a drain) The breakfast, in the form of a buffet, is plentiful and complete. The personnel is very professional. The swimming pools allow everyone to have fun (for children with games and slides, calmer for adults). A pub allows you to enjoy happy hour peacefully. access to the Dead Sea, with beach and mud available, is a real plus: you bathe yourself, you soak in the Dead Sea before rinsing off and returning to the pub or the swimming pool. We also tested the spa: if the decor of the spa is quite ordinary (no particular atmosphere with bright LEDs or essential oil diffusers), the technique, the welcome and the professionalism of the Taiwanese employees are well worth it. detour: Swedish, Balinese, Thai massage, reflexology, you will leave the spa relaxed and in great shape.

Worst hotel we never did. The rooms are dirty, the fridges not defrosted, the staff totally incompetent, very disorganised and not pleasant. You can ask for soap or towels because they have forgotten them and never receive them. The restaurant staff don't know how to manage, they're very incompetent. Last but not least, a member of our family is very allergic to gluten and the restaurant staff told him that the macaroons were gluten-free when in fact they contained gluten, causing my brother to eat 3 macaroons... no regrets or apologies from the restaurant manager who didn't see the problem. A badly managed hotel, dirty, badly organised, badly behaved, no experience or know-how in managing a hotel restaurant, total disorganisation... In short, the worst two days of our trip.

We availed a day pass for accessing the hotel's private beach of dead sea. The property is beautiful and the we loved the hospitality of the staff. One can avail the day pass from the hotel's reception and it costs 20 JOD per person. There are options to rent towels at 3 JOD per towel. The day pass included access to dead sea and their swimming pools. There are changing rooms and open showers available at the beach area. Locker facilities are also available but chargeable. We also tried the open buffet lunch, which cost us 15 JOD per person. The buffet was amazing. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

The hotel is very large with large clean common areas, several swimming pools, a Lebanese restaurant and children's games. From the hotel a comfortable sidewalk leads down to the Dead Sea. Along the route some boards mark the height of the sea in previous years. On the beach there are deckchairs, a container with Dead Sea mud and showers. You can get off and on with the golf cart service. Our room was very spacious and bright. The bathroom is less bright but always clean. In the room there is the possibility of making tea or coffee. The bed is comfortable. The TV broadcasts 2 Italian channels. In the bathroom a good sparse courtesy. Unfortunately the air conditioning is quite noisy. Breakfast and dinner are buffet style. The food is varied and acceptable. The large room and the presence of many groups makes the atmosphere quite chaotic. The staff is courteous.
