The beach was perfection-bright , clean sand and sparkling water and the infinity pools were beautiful, all adjacent to the Red Sea and lovely landscape. I loved my room-clean and the bed put me in a comatose state. The staff answered all my questions and were kind and professional. I hope to return.

I recently had the opportunity to stay at the Kempinski Hotel Aqaba, and I must say it was a fantastic experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly attentive and welcoming, making me feel instantly at ease. The hotel itself was spotlessly clean, and I was impressed by the attention to detail in maintaining cleanliness throughout the property. From the lobby to the rooms, everything was immaculate, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Speaking of the rooms, mine was spacious, well-designed, and equipped with all the necessary amenities. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep, and the bathroom was pristine and well-stocked with essential toiletries. I also had the chance to take advantage of some of the hotel's facilities, such as the pool and spa. Both were kept in excellent condition and provided a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. One standout feature of my stay was the food. The hotel's restaurant offered a wide array of delicious options, and I thoroughly enjoyed every meal I had there. The breakfast buffet was particularly impressive, with a vast selection of fresh and tasty dishes to choose from. Overall, my stay at the Kempinski Hotel Aqaba was exceptional. The cleanliness was top-notch, and the attention to detail truly made a difference in ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I will definitely be returning in the future and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.

Bad check in experience

When we came to the checkin area First the lady said that our room is in low floor and she see we are not with kids. And people normally complain about the pool noise in the morning... it will be a good idea if we will upgrade the room, she said that they have a special offer bla bla... After telling her we have the VIP thing from hotel.com and we are eligible to free upgrade when available she started saying it's not working that way and they are always telling hotel.com to remove that offer from the web site 😏😏😏 Overall they were very confused and each representative gave another reason why we are not entitled for that free upgrade. After, she said we will have 20% off food and beverage and that they also give us 20 JOD credit. Eventually that also didn't happen 😕. Other then that. The hotel was great. Room is pretty big and shower is the best part. Need to note that the pool area is very small and there are not enough sun beds. We used a towel on the grass and it was definitely ok 😀

Beautiful beach front property on the Red Sea - in between Movenpick & Inter-Con hotels. Hotel looks and feels modern and stylish. Beach and pools are nice. Hotel is close to restaurants and shops so you have many options. I didn't really like the hotel breakfast buffet as it was busy and chaotic.

Nice beach area with soft sand and clear waters. However the passing tourist boats were very disturbing and annoying. Staff is very friendly and helpful but service for room service was very slow- took over an hour to get a few basic dishes. Rooms were nice, clean and big. Overall we had a nice experience but I think this hotel is priced too high for what is offered. If I had known what was at the hotel and in Aqaba I would not have stayed in this town and this hotel for such high prices.
