The hotel has a stunning location with beautiful views but unfortunately, it falls short in delivering a truly luxurious experience. While the service was a mixed bag, some staff members stood out for their efforts, amenities need significant upgrading, and the dining experience had both hits and misses. Overall, it didn't quite meet the high expectations I had for a resort of this caliber.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel overall, with clean and spacious rooms that offered great views of the Dead Sea. The service was impeccable, especially at breakfast, though I found the dining experience in the evening lacking in quality. The extensive facilities, especially the pools, made for a delightful stay. However, the hotel's policy on outside food was frustrating, and it impacted my overall experience.
