We spent 4 nights here last week and generally really enjoyed ourselves.

We were a little disappointed when we arrived and found that the infinity pool and several of the eating establishments were closed due to the hotel preparing for a very large (and expensive) wedding that was taking place on our last night there.

The rooms are typical Marriott with the super cozy beds with luxurious linens. Ours was the furthest from the lobby- probably close to a 1/4 mile walk. When getting back to the hotel after a day of sightseeing and you pass through security with your key in your pocket, it demagnetizes and it's a very long walk back to the front desk to get it replaced, especially when you;re tired from exploring Roman ruins or Crusader castles!. This happened to us twice!

The pools that were open were wonderful. There is a slide that connects the upper pool to the middle pool, which our daughter loved. The pools have life guards, which was impressive. We actually saw one pull a toddler out when he was in over his head and his mother, who was dressed at the side of the pool, watched helplessly.

The dead sea is quite aways down a series of stairs, but is worth the effort . The beach is quite rocky, so water shoes are a must. They are available free of charge at the towel stand. There is a huge tub of Dead Sea mud available to slather over your, or your friend's , body. Let it dry and rinse off in the sea. It's wonderful.

We ate breakfast and dinners at the resort and found the food to be good for the most part. The breakfast had a huge selection. Our only disappointment is the lack of Middle Eastern Food. Perhaps the restaurant that was closed served it.

The last night of our stay was awful. The wedding, which was practically right outside our window, went on until 4:30 in the morning. THe band was playing and lights were flashing. When we complained we were told that the wedding party had rented 150 rooms and spent a lot of money at the hotel to do this. That's fine, but give them room overlooking the party! The front desk gave us 1/2 off our room rate that night to compensate.

I would definitely stay here again. It was an excellent base to discover the north west region of Jordon.

Loved this resort and spa. Small problem with out room on check in but they moved us to the room we booked within a few hours. Pool is great, access to the Dead Sea is good. Loved the spa treatments. My only complaint is the restaurants. They aren't geared for Westerners...lunch starts at 1pm and all dinner tables only have one seating per evening. Also, no poolside food is available which is very inconvenient . Overall a great experience.

Spent two nights at the Marriott resort in the Dead Sea on a package that included local champagne. Was an excellent experience overall.

First, about the area - there is no real city anywhere near the hotel. Basically, there are the three dead sea resorts (in Jordan) - Kempinski, Moevenpick and Marriott. All are side by side (but cannot be accessed from a common beach - you have to go out to the lobby and then the slip road). When I booked this place I was really looking for a room at the Moevenpick and was dissappointed when I could not find one. I do not regret booking the Marriott at all.

The room overlooked the pool and had a seaview as well. One thing I would HIGHLY reccommend is trying to avoid a room that overlooks the pool that allows children (there is a pool for adults only - GREAT idea). The other pool can be very noisy during the day.

Breakfast was included and was very good - typical resort buffet breakfast. Had dinner once on the outdoor terrace down by the "grown up pool" - can't remember the name, but it was a great experience. Had to book when we were there as it was Jordanian independence (?) day. Really nice BBQ buffet where you pick the type of meat you want (angus steak, chicken, lamb chops, lobster, prawns...something for everyone) and then you have the choice of grilling it yourself of having it prepared by one of the chefs. Wine was included.

Great place overall. Lots of resteraunts. Only suggestion is avoid the "kiddy" area if you don't have kids. It seems that the hotel was divided into different areas - some for families, and others for singles.

This is a great hotel! Highly recommended. Problem at check-in with delay of room more than compensated for by room manager. The staff went out of their way to rectify problem producing very satisfied guests. The steak restaurant is fantastic. Very close to Allenby Bridge and Baptism Site. 45 minutes to Mount Nebo. We will, hopefully, return to this great facility.
