United States of AmericaReally nice property, grounds are beautiful, room was average
United States of Americathe design is amazing the beach and the deadsea experience is extremely exceptional truly is the best 5stars hotel in the deadsea
JordanWe checked in just before sunset so we quickly went to catch the most amazing view of the sun going down behind the mountains from the infinity pool as this faces directly West. Speaking of pools, there are many and each has it's own vibe. I also appreciated the beach access to the Dead Sea. It is staffed with someone that gives you towels and they have showers and vats of mud set up for the self-spa treatment and crocs for getting in and out so you don't cut your feet. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were huge with beautiful finishes. The entire complex is well maintained. The breakfast buffet was extensive and great for it being included in our room rate.
United States of Americathe experience was absolutely pleasant and it was made extra special from the friendly and hospitable staff
Jordancomfy beds, clean room, wonderful & helpful staff, amazing facilities, not overcrowded when we stayed, dead sea experience at its finest
United Arab EmiratesWe really enjoyed our stay at resort dead sea. Infinity pool was awesome, restaurants with variety of food options.
