Al Manara, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Aqaba

This hotel is absolutely beautiful. The interior decoration is stunning. The room was spacious, very comfortable and smart. The breakfast was delicious, good food and a lot of choice.

We were forced to flee Israel due to the war. We did so by Eilat to Aqaba and selected Al Manara to stay in until our flight left. Absolutely first class hotel and staff. Gorgeous, clean accommodations and excellent amenities. Staff are extremely friendly, courteous, and efficient. Pool and beach areas were clean and expertly maintained. I liked how the lifeguards encouraged the kids to play and interacted with them. Waiting/serving staff are amazing. Duncan is a fabulous bartender and server who treated us magnificently during dinner, and Gretchen was very kind and attentive during breakfast. The staff helped us schedule a shuttle to the airport and got us there ahead of schedule. The restaurants are fabulous— the catch of the day at Taybeh was the best fish I’ve ever had!

It’s very clean and organized loved the staff. They were so nice.

Excellent hotel with exceptionally customer orientated, friendly and polite staff. High quality facilities, a selection of pool areas and beaches and high standard rooms.

Hotel was excellent, particularly the service. There was an initial mix-up with our room (we wanted a King size bed and we were initially sent to a room with two beds) and although it was not a big mistake, the staff went out of their way to ensure we were happy. We received a generous room upgrade and were able to check in quite early. The pool area was also excellent - I have never seen some of the services provided (fruit kebabs while lounging, sunglasses cleaner etc).
