  • I've been in Aqaba as a 3 day extension to a circuit across Jordan. Expecting to stay at the Movenpick, I was moved to the till then unknown Intercontinental. Everything was absolutely perfect. Though the standard prices are higher than Movenpick's, I paid the same, even in the extra four days extension I dealt locally -102 euros per day, in half-board (high season). The rooms, the location, the service, and the food, are really "6" stars.

    Unique Qualities: Everything excelent, unless you expect to dive or snorkel from the hotel.

    Crown Plaza Petra: Balcony of Petra

  • Petra is the capital of tourism in Jordan, and hotels are spreading over the hills. The newest ones stand some kilometres far from the Visitor Centre, so you must decide carefully about your preferences: either the probable better conditions of the new hotels, or the accessibility of the old ones.
    I stood at Crown Plaza, which stands right beside the Visitor Centre. The only critic I have to make is the small size of the room and bathroom. It was difficult to open two bags at the same time, and to share the bathroom. But everything else was excellent. I was travelling in a 5 stars program, and despite the hotel rated only 4 stars, I didn't complaint. The food was good, the pool overlooking the canyon felt like Eden after the exhaustive visit of Petra, and the service was professional and kind.
    A little walk after diner gave us the chance of joining the popular party in the streets of town. It was nice and funny.

  • Excellent hotel, large rooms, extremely nice people and service, good ambiance, several restaurants (we didn't try some of them because the main one served very well at breakfast or dinner and lunch was always out of town). A Portuguese friend found the rooms a little old (?), but we didn't agree. No way! It's really a good hotel

     The Petra Intro picture of your Jordan page is superbs. Admired your tip and advise on Local Customs : Respect the differences and I totally agree with you. Take care.
