I was on a trip with my friend. It is a budget hotel but due to off season the service was slow. The cleanliness was average as well. Overall OK for a quick short stay.
This is an excellent hotel for a peaceful getaway. The grounds are compact but very well-maintained, and there's private parking available. The rooms are spacious, offering panoramic sea views and all the necessary amenities.
The food is top-notch: breakfast and dinner are served buffet-style, offering a diverse and delicious selection. There's a deep swimming pool and a jacuzzi too. The equipped beach has easy entry into the water, and a coral reef teeming with colorful fish starts right off the shore. There's also a professional diving center with instructors and equipment rental.
The ”15+ only” policy ensures a quiet atmosphere free from children's hustle and bustle – perfect for couples.
The hotel was good and well kept (apart from the gym) with very kind and helpful staff.
If you're looking for a pool lounging hotel, there are better options within a 20 minute walk as this hotel had one small pool.
The gym was not kept very well with weights everywhere and the equipment itself could have been better.
This hotel under major renovation, the room is outdated, not clean for sure, I checked in and I was super tired after 12 hours of flight all the sudden falling asleep right away when I wake up to use the bathroom I find out it’s full of urine and the shower full of see sand, I called the room service at 3 morning and I asked them to clean it especially I wasn’t able to use the bathroom, I had to clean it my self, since they ignored me, the breakfast was great has a lot of different selection, over all I give it 4out of 10 I can’t believe it has the intercontinental franchise.
Everything was good and ok except that when I arrived to the hotel around 10:00 pm no body was there I had to go next door to the pharmacy to ask if the reception was open or if I had to call someone to check in , the pharmacy employee had to go inside the hotels office to find someone after 15 minutes someone came in
The beachfront environment is nice, the house facilities are average, there was a party at the restaurant downstairs, it ended at nearly 12 o'clock, it was too noisy, I communicated N times but to no avail, it still ended at the same time, is it because of the local customs and habits to not accommodate other guests
Everything was fine, but I faced a problem with the lack of availability. For example, I contacted the receptionist in the morning and asked for the room to be cleaned and for my shoes to be changed (the room was cleaned, but the shoes were not provided). In the evening, I asked for the shoes to be provided, and the receptionist replied, ”Immediately,” but my request was not met.
We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Alena in Aqaba. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly kind and helpful. They allowed us to check in early and even upgraded us to a more spacious room, which was a lovely surprise!
The hotel’s location is perfect—everything is within walking distance, including restaurants, shops, and the city’s main attractions. The cleanliness, comfort, and exceptional service made our stay truly enjoyable. We highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here again on our next visit to Aqaba!

AAhmadStaff was perfect .. everything was perfect in this hotel
My stay at this hotel was truly exceptional from start to finish. I genuinely felt like royalty throughout my entire visit. Every single staff member — from housekeeping to the restaurant team and the pool attendants — went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. I have never experienced such outstanding hospitality before. The hotel manager, Mr. Eyad, deserves special recognition for his professionalism and kindness. He personally assisted me with a late checkout, as my flight was scheduled later in the day, which made a huge difference. I would also like to commend Ken and Duncan from the restaurant staff, who were remarkably attentive, courteous, and warm. Each morning, they anticipated my preferences, bringing my latte and omelet without me even having to ask. The hotel’s location is superb, offering breathtaking views of both the sea and the pool. The cleanliness was impeccable, with housekeeping service provided twice a day, and the quality of the food was excellent. Every detail exceeded my expectations. This was, without doubt, one of the best experiences I have ever had. Jordanians are among the kindest people I have met, and I am already looking forward to returning in the near future.
SStarryLIThe last hotel in Jordan, on the edge of the Red Sea, is perfect for a relaxing vacation. I really like the hotel's balcony, facing the sea, where you can watch the sunset, and there are free beer and snacks.
JJamil.yazWe took 3 bedrooms and it was perfect for a group of friends. The apartment contained everything from washing machine to dish washer oven etc.. Great destination for vacation with family or friends
The hotel is very nice and has a great private beach. The staff was kind and helpful and the breakfast buffet had lots of delicious options. Would definitely recommend!

HHAYDAR DALKIRANVeryy nice very silent hotel. The beach is very nice an underd sea is very nice for discovering. Staffs are excelent. They dont sell alcohol but you can take with you it.
GGuest UserI enjoyed my week long stay at the Bedouin Garden Village. The room was simple but clean, air conditioned, and the bed was good. My wife and I enjoyed a swim in the pool, and evenings sitting in the outdoor covered lounge areas. The staff were helpful and friendly. It was just a short walk down to the beach on the Gulf of Aqaba where we went swimming every day.
Great customer service, lovely food and great hair saloon services Yousef was really helpful and the head of food services manager was amazing and so friendly I got my hair done in their salon as well and I loved my hair so much Dinner was 10/10 Thank you so much for making our stay so special :)
