Hotel 5-Star di Balqa, Jordan

The Dead Sea Marriott Resort offers an exceptional stay and has direct private access to the Dead Sea, making the experience truly unique. Spacious rooms, beautiful pools, and excellent service, all set against an unforgettable natural landscape. A perfect place to relax at one of the world’s most extraordinary destinations

Movenpick Dead Sea was one of the happiest leg in my Jordan trip. The hotel setting was so charming and quaint that one could spend the whole day relaxing within the hotel massive compound. The hotel immersive mud experience and Zara spa (hydro pool and other facilities) was immensely enjoyable! Although it was winter, the waters temperature was bearable. The lifeguards were helpful and were great photographers. The variety and cost of food at restaurants within the hotel are reasonable, such that one does not need to venture out of the hotel. Also, the fountain in the breakfast restaurant provides a calm and soothing atmosphere. These are little touches that make one’s trip memorable. A minor hiccup is, scanning of luggage at the entrance is only manned by 1 security guard. It would be helpful if the bellboys/porters are stationed at the security area to help guests with the luggage (where help is needed most to load and unload bags from the security conveyor belt) instead of standing in the lobby area. My appreciation to Ahmed at the front desk reception who listened to my feedback and promptly reacts. Overall, an outstanding experience at Dead Sea.

Overall, the stay was decent, but there were some disappointing aspects. The breakfast was very average, even somewhat poor, and definitely not worth the price. Another issue was the lack of guidance. I was assigned a room that was quite far from the lobby, and there was no clear direction or staff assistance on how to get there. I had to wander around for quite a while before finally finding my room. Parking was also confusing — there was no signage or staff at the entrance to guide me. I had to find the parking area on my own, park the car, and then go back to check in. I am currently staying at the Marriott in Petra, where the service has been excellent. As a Hilton member, this experience was a bit disappointing in comparison.

Beautiful hotel. Staff were amazing. Definitely use the spa asI had a full massage and facial and felt amazing. The lifeguard at the beach was so helpful. This hotel you must book as relaxing and food so good. About 7 minutes away is Almer Dead Sea factory produce. Well worth a visit
