loud musicrude staff
I was quite disappointed with a few aspects of my stay. the promised tranquility was disturbed significantly by a wedding taking place. the music was loud. It continued late into the night. earplugs became necessary, a stark contrast to the peaceful retreat i anticipated. the attitude of some staff members also fell short of expectations. they were unhelpful and somewhat rude, unlike the warmth experienced elsewhere in jordan.

Underwhelming Stay Due to Multiple Issues

swimming choicescratched floorcracked counter
The pools were a decent feature, giving some choice for swimming.
The room I got had issues. The shower floor was scratched, and the bathroom counter had a crack. Water leaked while I showered, and the sink drain was blocked, which I found quite irritating for what I paid.
