Stayed here for a six night holiday last April with the family - our two kids (including a 2 month old) in tow. We were upgraded to a junior suite, which, despite a very elongated layout, and Ikea-like furniture, was very spacious, especially a large covered balcony. The bed was large and comfortable and our 4 year old daughter used... More

this hotel , the biggest resort in Jordan, is most certainly the most beautiful. The architecture ,the pools, the view are amazing. If you can afford it, it is a never to forget experience. It is a pity that the staff is not at the same level. The service at the obelisk restaurant for breakfast is poor and in the... More

The hotel is in a great location with superb facilities and access to the sea. Beach staff very helpful and polite and reception is prompt but staff in the Obelisk restaurant are second rate: you get no eye to eye contact; lucky to get one cup of coffee and dare not ask for a second; they make you feel as...

The hotel is definitely one of the most expensive in Jordan; but if you saved some money and you want to spend a really good week end at the dead sea, kempinski is where you should spend it ... i went with my partner for the week end ( saturday to sunday) so we booked only one night but we... More

Basically unless you stay at one of the resort hotels, it is impossible to get right down to the beach. This is because of the saline content of the Dead Sea and the damage that can be caused if inadvertently it enter the eye. So fresh clean water for cleaning the eyes is a must. There are a few "public"... More

Overall this hotel provides a solid and friendly service that allows you to RELAX, just don't expect anyone to fuss about you. Booking was easy, checking in and out didn't take too long, however be prepared to stand in line behind groups of people. It is a pretty and very LARGE resort, it's territory includes about 6 separate buildings for... More

Stayed for two nights back in March, 2012 for a business conference and I only have rave reviews for the Kempinski Ishtar. All staff members were friendly and always ready to help and they responded on several occasions to last minute changes. Facility wise, there was nothing to dislike. Loved the spacious rooms, the closed off private beach on the... More

As expatriate who live in Jordan, I and my family already stay many times hotels in Dead Sea. This is our second times stay in Kempinski, the first time was about 3 years ago but despite of its good reputation as chained of Kempinski I noticed there was a big decrease in this hotel especially for its service.
