I'd stay here again
Staff and the public areas are nice, but the room was dated. There is was an old school CRT TV, the fabric on the chair was ripped, and there were stains on the desk. However, the temperature control and bed were comfortable, the shower was good too.

Location was only perk
I prepaid on Expedia seventy dollars more per night than rate listed on hotel Form they gave me at check in. Hotel was listed as 4 stars, but it was very shabby, poorly upkept. Only WiFi was at reception desk—-guests were sitting in front steps of hotel around the clock on computers. Website listed free WiFi. No elevators. Had to unplug lamp to charge phone—-no outlets or charging ports. Very disappointing.

Didn't live up to our expectations
We travelled 2 weeks around Jordan with my wife and thought of having relaxed final days in South Beach, Aqaba. This hotel was by far the most expensive on our trip so we expected it to be clean and well maintained. The hotel didn't quite live up to these expectations. Our room was dusty, fridge smelled bad and was barely cold, and the balcony was dirty and had broken furniture. Overall, with these prices one expects that more careful attention is paid to details, especially when it comes down to cleaniness. This hotel probably is good for families with children because of pools and beach or groups who enjoy drinking by the pool while listening to constant techno pool music. However, our plan was to relax after active travelling and unfortunately this wasn't a good place for that. About the location, it is remote to any shops and restaurants, besides those that are inside the Tala Bay resort.

This hotel appears like it use to be something special, but maybe a new management is letting it go. The cleanliness in common areas is poor and the service was not friendly at the front desk. Good place to stay for 1 night when traveling through the area, but not more. They did refund my last night there as I had had enough, which was nice.
