We stayed there for one night for a wedding at a next door resort. I wish we had stayed at that resort instead. While the grounds are beautiful and the resort is well maintained, the staff hospitality needs plenty of work. If I am to be honest, it boils down to the one person who checked us in. The welcoming... More

One of the best hotels we have ever been! The hotel is a beautiful resort on the dead sea, the best in the area. The rooms are spacious and with a private patio where you can have served in-room dinner. The manager of the hotel came personally to offer his help, the staff has been always lovely and helpful.

You can never go wrong with Kempinski. A superb hotel. The service is as usual unique, its customer oriented. You are treated as if you are the only one they have to serve in this hotel. Rooms are comfortable and the food is delicious. The Spa is excellent but overpriced. The hotel is huge and perhaps adding signs to direct... More

My spouse and I went to the this resort for a spa weekend over Valentine's day. The Valentine's poolside dinner of many courses was delectable, the staff attentive, although the super cheesy saxophone player wasn't helping the ambience. The spa is amazing, my spouse and I got a couple's massage in the same room, including a gentle and relaxing pregnancy... More

Service is a key component of what goes to making up a 5star resort, this place needs to sort it out! From the moment we arrived till we checked out service levels every where were mediocre at best, non existent more often. I am a Black tier level GHA member, and am used to a certain level of service. Lets... More
