Great!

Great hotel, with large facilities, a good breakfast, many pools, and a private beach. Free shuttle to Aqaba. The only problem is that the only pool that was heated is too deep for small kids.

Atheer, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Overall is great

The overall all experience was great, just needs little maintenance updates such as AC units due to the heat in the summer, not saying it was not working but needs a little more power. Will go again and again no issues.

Hamza, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The property is beautiful but the customer service is very poor. The food is below average. Tried the international buffet which is overpriced the quality of food extremely limited.
LEONILDE, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Very good service, clean in general, very quiet, family oriented, very friendly staff beside a few ( smile for god sake) Management lacks professionalism dealing with few issues. Expect extra charges from the hotel if you have children 12
tareq, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Stay away

The hotel misrepresents itself as a 5-star property when it’s in fact somewhat of a motel. Loud,overcrowded, small dirty beach, bad food, outdated rooms. My shower was backing up, a/c was difficult to regulate, elevator wasn’t working. Hands down overpriced. Kempinski was cheaper the weekend I went, I very much regret making this choice because I was under the mistaken impression, the beach was nicer.
Marina, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful top-end beach beach resort

We had a fun time at Movenpick Tala Bay. Unlike many other top end chain hotels, this one is genuinely welcoming and all staff are so friendly. Facilities are superb. We loved the many beautiful pool areas, the 3 warm jaccuzzis and particularly the giant water slide. ‘Chocolate hour’ is actually not chocolate, not on for an hour - but the free patissery is delicious, anyway. Breakfast buffet is huge and with an impressive range of savoury local dishes, including many vegetarian ones, as well as fruits and international brunch items. Happy hour in the lobby bar is on for 2 hours, and features basic beer, wine, shots of alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks, though sadly none og the delicious cocktails. Pool bar’s lemon mint drink is the best non-alcoholic cocktail I have ever had! Rooms and bathrooms are huge, and a thoughtful feature for the balcony is a hanging rack for swim wear - such a simple thing, that is so often missing. Diving and snorkelling is good, if a bit pricey. Everywhere is fantastically clean.
Dorte Bille, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Hotel rooms in bad condition and need upgrades (rooms are more like 2 star motel not a 5 star hotel). We booked two rooms: first room there was dry urine on the toilet seat and bed sheet had a big coffee/beverage stain and two towels were dirty. Second room had no towels. We had to wait an hour to get our room cleaned and serviced before we could check in. Wet towels handed to us at reception smelled horrible. Food service below average: One restaurant for breakfast buffet and was crowded and service was very slow - if you are a family with kids breakfast will take a good hour or more. Dinner at same restaurant was for extra charge (about 80JOD for two adults and two kids) but food selection was horrible. I booked this hotel several times over the years since 2018 and this will be my last time at Movenpick the place is a run down. Staff are kind and helpful but the hotel is obviously understaffed and needs major facelift. Until that happens I am not staying here again.
