It did not have much to offer: bed and breakfast. It's not bad if you are not into amenities. Luckily we had so many things to do that we didn't spend very much time there. There was a swimming pool, but it was not heated and always in the shadow yup, all day during winter time of the year. The so called beach at Aqamarina I was free to use, but we payed 1 JD per sunbed a day. Well, more of a concrete quay. We quite liked it, but I guess most people would be a bit disappointed. I would recommend this hotel to somenone who is not squeamish hellooooo insect running over my pillow If you get a good price, go for it, but three star?
They told us they would start redecorating now. We'll see A large, open lobby with comfortable seating. Staff were helpful and welcoming and spoke good English. There was a swimming pool. Our room was spacious, light and airy with a view out over the Red Sea. It was clean and well furnished.
The bathroom was clean with plenty of towels and hot water. Breakfast was very good with a large range of choices including cornflakes, toast, olives, yoghurt, cucumber, tomato, eggs and unlimited tea and coffee. A very pleasant stay. At the time there were only four rooms taken, for days in a row we didnt see any other tourist, just some sleepy staff. The lights were out, adding to the spooky feeling. But we only stayed a couple of days in the beginning and end of the trip, th rest of the time we went round Jordan and stayed on much cosier hostels.
We missed checking out the brothel on 5 th floor, so I dont know if it is still running. Much building work nearby now, will probably keep going for months. The best memory from here is the bored cleaner, who made a new towelfigure every day, swan, hearts, evertything..
If you are a woman, go over tho the girls shool next by. They will be thrilled to practice their english on you and ask questions. We wanted to pay before check in but the clerck told us the pay at the end,,and oh i wonder why,,,,what can you do when you already stayed 2 night and than they changed the price to dinars??? This is a 3-star hotel, and not in the centre of Aqaba.
