Radisson Blu Tala Bay Resort, Aqaba  

Lovely facilities. Great pool area

Lack of bath. Food and drink quite expensive and lack of good communal drinking area in winter

The quality of the food/buffet is ok friendly staff

The prices of the drinks in the restaurant are too high the restaurant on the beach has a marvelous location but poor food, better would be to offer typical Jordanian food as they can do for groups...we don't understand why they don't do it for all of their customers???? The pools for the childeren ware not heated and not clean, rather dirty the playground was half broken...

The young man who cleaned our room did a very nice job and was very pleasant.

The quality of this hotel does not correspond to the price or number of stars of this hotel. The breakfast was relatively poor, the rooms are very small, the front desk is understaffed and disorganized which means checkout can take forever. The design of the hotel is also bad since there are stairs everywhere and if you want to avoid them you will need to take at least 2 different elevators simply to get from your room to the lobby. The tiles by the swimming pool are extremely slippery when wet. I wiped out after getting out of the pool and cut and strongly bruised my foot and knees which made walking at Petra the next day a serious painful to put it mildly. There is a sign at the entrance to the hotel which states that it is prohibited to bring your own food and drinks into the hotel. How pathetic!!! This is a typical idiotic policy in Jordanian hotels but of the 4 hotels I stayed at, this was the only one with such a sign.

Modern, large, well furnished room with a great sea view balcony. Delicious breakfast.

Comfortable rooms.

Service was poor

I travely weekly for business and pleasure, but there were a few major issues that we have experienced, the pool side service was awful,but the food was very good, all the pools were very cold to swim. Beer prices were very high considering Aqaba is a duty free zone!!!!!

View of the aircraft carrier close to the shore ...

Unpleasent surprise. Stinking toilet, big holes in the outside mosquito net nobody was going to repair, tv set turning on in the middle of the night every whole hour loudly welcoming us to the hotel - nobody was willing to remove the function so it repeated for 3 nights, horrendous prices for everything, including drinking water (almost 4 eur!) with no substitute available - hotel is cashing on virtual monopoly thanks to location on deserted seaside 15 km away from town. Never visiting it again! I am sorry that my preffered Radisson Blu chain let it be that way ...

The location

Lack of good service

5 star of perfect. Amazing place. 100% satisfaction.

Not much. Reception staff were polite and friendly.

This hotel lacks soul. You could be anywhere in the world. Staff's command of English was poor and they seemed lethargic. Staff was definitly the down side. Price of food was extortionate and the hotel is far from any restaurants. Also it seems to cater more for Westerners and there is a notice by the pool saying that full body swimsuits cannot be worn which is ridiculous in an islamic country. I also went to the Marriott Dead Sea where people happily wore what they wanted resulting in a relaxed family and cosmopolitan atmosphere. However I did wear an Islamic swimsuit and no-one said anything. I also think there could have been more restrictions on smoking. I know in the Middle East smoking is considered normal but it is not for Europeans. This hotel should decide whether it wants to target Westerners or Middle Eastern people.

We had a short stay here after a sightseeing tour of Jordan. It was ideal for a relaxing luxurious break.

Nice hotel, clean rooms and good and freindly staff, the food is good at breakfast and dinner as I take halfboard , the kids enjoy the sport activity that in the hotel, the beach is clean and its connected to other hotels in Tala Bay, so if you enjoy walking you will love this very much.

Excellent facilities in prime location. Delicious breakfast. Lovely seaview from room.

Restaurant prices were a bit too expensive.
