InterContinental Resort Aqaba

Our stay was really great, just too short! The only complaint that I have is that the Lebanese restaurant was the most bland food that we had in our 11-day stay in Jordan which was disappointing.

A thoroughly enjoyable stay at a quality hotel. All the staff were efficient but very approachable, friendly.and readily offered advise - nothing was too much trouble and they genuinely wanted to help. We had a lovely room overlooking the pool/sea with a huge shower & separate bath. It was worth paying for the view. There was a lovely singer during the buffet, who also sang in the Martini Bar, alternating with a saxophonist. A belly-dancer also performed throughout the evening - she was excellent. Lovely pools, lovely staff and we enjoyed the food. Our 2-night stay came at the end of a hectic week's driving around this lovely country. It was a fabulous place to relax and snorkel nearby. Being a Middle Eastern country, yes, there was security at the gate & at the entrance to the hotel, as like most other hotels in the area, for which I am thankful. It wasn't a problem - just smile & say hello - Jordanians are very friendly people. It was refreshingly nice to stay at a hotel with not just international tourists but also with national families, just having a lovely holiday. Children just quietly playing who were delightful. We loved our holiday in Jordan & this hotel was a perfect end to it.

We stayed here on our last night in Jordan. Reception is extremely slow, check in took a while but check out took forever, even worse is the locals don’t have any concept of queuing and just push in front of you which is really annoying if you’ve already been stood for 20 minutes. I was asked to complete a satisfaction survey whilst I waited and even though they could see I’d rated poorly because duration of time spent in reception they completely ignored it. Asked twice if I’d taken anything from the mini bar as if asking once wasn’t sufficient! Every hotel we stayed in Jordan had complimentary soft drinks in minibar, this was the only one where there was a charge, however they were also the only one to provide milk pots for tea. Great location with access to the sea and couple of nice pools. Evening buffet was good but needed to endure the cabaret act. breakfast selection good, very similar to most international hotels in Jordan, approx 21JD pp for dinner. Had lunch at the pool bar and it was bland and very overpriced. Room quite basic and orange!

Hotel was beautiful and located directly on the Red Sea. Everything was fantastic from the food to the spa services. Easy walk to town if you choose to leave the resort.

amazing beach, excellent services and not so good room 301 you cen not see beach and pool area as well, stupid balcony on the terasse .
