Culinary Delight

The breakfast and dinner buffets at the restaurant were simply out of this world! There was a huge variety of dishes to choose from, and everything was prepared to perfection. We really enjoyed dining at the Ishtar restaurant, where the flavors were vibrant and the presentation was stunning. Every meal felt like an experience in itself.

Relaxation Haven

The spa facilities were an absolute dream! I indulged in a professional massage that was both relaxing and rejuvenating. The ambiance of the spa created a tranquil escape, allowing me to unwind completely. I also enjoyed the mud mask experience at the beach, which was incredibly refreshing and performed by helpful staff.

Fun and Entertainment

The pools, especially the adult-only area, provided a perfect retreat with stunning views of the Dead Sea. There were various activities to enjoy, including TV setups in the Kish Bar that allowed us to catch the World Cup while sipping on delicious cocktails. The atmosphere was vibrant and made for a fun-filled stay!
