Radisson Blu Tala Bay Resort, Aqaba  

I liked it's pools and the building engineering . I also the combination between water and planting was very beautiful. The night look is brilliant because of the use of lighting everywhere specially in water (the led color changing inside the pools).

The room service was very very slow, we had to ask for whatever we needed two or three times... And also the room was very small, it looked much better in the picture..

there is good space so you can easly relax and many of swiming pools

room service bad response

Limited restaurant choice and average breakfast buffet. Some good local food would be very welcome! Although it claims it's 5 star, it definitely isn't, and many of the staff lack professionalism and cannot deal with guests' questions that aren't just the usual. Although of course it is not the local language, the level of English is also insufficient in many cases.

Hotel staff are very friendly and cooperate

Extremely helpful staff! Even when we (due to changed flight schedule) had to check out one day prior to the booked (which was non-refundable!) they were so service-minded that they let us leave the day earlier without paying anything for the last night! (Usually not possible when booked through extern booking offices and especially not when bought with special non-refundable price) We were very happy with the service we received during the entire stay of 10 days.

Only minus that one day the heated pool was closed (the other pools can be quite cold in winter) and nobody gave an explanation.

great location (tala bay is beautiful and ideal for rest, to be preferred to dirty unappealing aqaba city center), peaceful place, friendly staff willing to help, spotless rooms, excellent breakfast, quality supervisor and management attentive to guests feedback

A number of details need improvement in order to get the hotel up to the 5 star radisson standard (and justify price). light entertainment and shopping offer could definitely be improved upon (caters for a clientele that seeks relax but might get bored in the evening), and as well as a proper spa/massage (no spa, massages being done in a room) . When weather is cooler the only heated pools gets crowded. Bar/drinks are really pricey (can get the same bottle of wine in a bar/restaurant in the nearby upmarket marina for a third of the price). The end of year party needs some real thinking and a "splurge up"

Nice beach activities ( volleyball, mini disco , fitness session in the green field ... by the nice active girl ... my kids enjoyed too much welcome drinks in the front desk ... cooperative staff ... receptionists and service staff.

Not warm pool for kids, no good minibar , should be

Breakfast was ok, but nothing exciting. Nice pools. Friendly Philipino staff in the restaurant.

Smelly bathroom! Poor attention to details in finishing the rooms. Very noisy room - both embarrasing sounds from the guests in the room next door and annoying elevator sounds. Expensive dining. In summary: heavily overpriced! Would refuse to pay more than €60-75 per night for the same room facilities on a European citytrip. For this money one should consider the Kempinski, as this is much better on all fronts.

Very friendly staff, and clean facilities

Slippers & bathrobes should be included in the rooms amenities

Lovely facilities. Great pool area

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

I like how the staff members are very polite and helpful and how the rooms are situated where it isnt very noisy.

We were dissapointed with the breakfast: There isnt a lot of quantity. We didnt like how there were no blaconies in our room. We didnt like how the TV's are not clear at all and the people in the tv were mostly colored orange.

It is a big size hotel with lots of swimming pool facilities which gives comfort to visitors and room to do many things.

Rooms were not cleaned everyday without calling house keeping. Food was less than average considering the hotel and it's reputation But mostly, staff were doing the minimum and not going extra mile in anything whether service or product. You will get things done eventually but you have to run after them (need to really pick up in guest service)

Beautiful view of the Red Sea. Abundant breakfast buffet. Kid's entertainment program was fun!

The hotel is very large. The swimming pools were cold in November.
