Breakfast Bliss

I had a lovely breakfast on the outdoor patio of the Kish Bar, which provided beautiful views of the Dead Sea. The comfortable seating and the sound of chirping birds made for an really good atmosphere. The buffet was diverse and delicious—definitely a highlight of my stay!

Unique Dead Sea Experience

The Dead Sea beach area was amazing! I loved that the staff provided assistance with applying the therapeutic Dead Sea mud. Floating in the sea was like nothing I had ever experienced, and the attendants were incredibly helpful throughout the process.

The hotel had excellent amenities for children, which made our family vacation even more enjoyable. The kids had a blast at the play area and the pools. It was a true joy to watch them have so much fun while we relaxed nearby!

The hotel has a stunning location with beautiful views but unfortunately, it falls short in delivering a truly luxurious experience.
