Hotel 3 Bintang di Aqaba, Jordan

Maswada Plaza hotel is an old rundown hotel in need of total renovation. It's nothing like what you see in the pictures you see in there advertising. Rooms are dirty the mattresses have bed bugs. My wife and myself had bits all over us from the bed bugs. The bathroom had mould in the sink and the shower. It was so bad we was afraid to use the shower in fear that we would catch something. They did not clean the room the entire 3 days that we was at this hotel. The dinning room had a fish tank that looked like it was never cleaned with dirt all over it. The food was so bad we was nauseous and even vomited from it. They took no sanitary measures at all. There was smoking everywhere and the lobby was so bad with smoke it was impossible to be in this area. The hotel no doubt will deny all of this but the fact is everything in this review is true and fact. I don't like to give a bad review but in this case it was necessary just look at the pictures.

I’m just basing my review on the Seaview restaurant which was very nice. We sat outside and ordered burgers which were very tasty and a great price! The staff were friendly too. Indoor seating was also available but it was nice to be able to sit outdoors in the sun.

Das Bedouin Garden Village liegt ca. 15 Minuten Autofahrt unterhalb von Aqaba, ganz in der Nähe des Berenice Beach Club. Zum Meer und Strand sind es nur 150 Meter. In der näheren Umgebung findet man ein paar weitere Guesthouses mit Restaurants sowie ein Restaurant/einen Imbiss am Strand. Der Strand selbst verfügt zudem über kostenlose Sonnenschirme. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und die Atmosphäre im Garden Village sehr ruhig und relaxed. Das Ambiente bietet viele schattige Plätzchen welche zum Verweilen und Entspannen im Schatten einladen, teilweise aber könnte man die Polster der Bedouinen-Sitzecken mal waschen oder putzen. Es war zwar nicht dreckig, allerdings auch nicht 100% sauber. Im Bedouin Garden Village befindet sich eine Tauchschule mit freundlichem, lustigem aber auch kompetenten Personal und guter Ausrüstung. Die Tauchgänge waren sehr entspannt und dennoch interessant, selbst für erfahrene Taucher. Das Frühstück war leider relativ einfach: es gab Fladenbrot, Frischkäseecken (allerdings lagen diese lange in der Wärme), Marmelade und einen Teller mit Hummus, Ei, Bohnen, etwas Obst und etwas Gemüse. Satt gemacht hat es trotzdem. Die Mittags- und Abendkarte ist leider auch nicht sonderlich umfangreich: es gibt viel Gefrorenes (Fisch, Hamburger, Calamari), ein paar Salate und ein paar Hähnchengerichte. Satt wird man, schlecht schmeckt es nicht, allerdings auch nicht besonders ”wow” - angesichts der abgeschiedenen Lage, ist die Auswahl an Restaurants vor Ort allerdings begrenzt. Die Zimmer waren einfach aber dennoch funktional eingerichtet mit Klimaanlage und Kühlschrank. Alles in allem eine tolle Unterkunft um ein paar Tage in ruhiger Umgebung abzuschalten.
