Very nice hotel from all aspect , beach and pools ,excellent breakfast , services and a very friendly staff..
2-night trip

10/10

Huge resort with various activities. Pools are big covenient, even if the resort is full, you dont really feel it. We took half board and had lunch (and beer) by the pool everyday, prices were reasonable for such a luxurious resort. Some more food options for children by the pool could be a thing for improvement. Everywhere was perfectly clean. Staff is one of the most wonderful parts; all was amazing. Even the lady -whose name i shamefully dont remember- greeting at the door of the food hall (for breakfast and dinner) started remembering us and our daughters name - when the resort was full!!! During the day and every night they have activities for kids. While walking around we saw an amphitheather which was not being used during the time we stayed and shows were done in the common area. Highly recommended

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.

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.

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.

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
3-night trip

2/10

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 Loud,overcrowded, small dirty beach, bad food, outdated rooms.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.
2-night trip

10/10

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.
