Finishing up a stay here and it's been positive. Hotel has been quite busy with tour groups, but as a solo traveller, they're fun people to chat with.

It was a very welcome check in. Welcome gift of 1000 points or food and beverage amentity (wine, beer, fruit, cheese, the usual). In addition, arabic snacks are provided in-room on check-in. I was upgraded to a mountain view from a base room. Fairly busy, so wasn't expecting much. Free semi-valet parking (they take the car, you pick it up).

Property is built into the cliff, so you actually head downstairs after checking in, a cool experience.

The food in the bedouin tent is pretty good. Side note: it seems they don't have a one-person serving. It's the two person serving, with the cost cut in half. This was similar to other experiences around Jordan, I've noticed. It's a LOT of food, but they'll happily pack up leftovers for you. Service very nice. Better than most "luxury" properties I've stayed in. Staff got to know you by name, happy to help with anything.

While some properties might be closer, I was happy with this choice due to the sunset views over Petra. Having a drink and watching that was a sight to behold. If you're renting a car, this is a non-issue, just drive to Petra early in the morning. You can also hire a driver, or use the hotel's scheduled shuttle service.

This hotel unfortunately has some of the worst matresses I've ever slept on. They are incredibly lumpy and in dire need of an upgrade, though. It feels like you're sleeping in a trough, and my right side even has a notch for feet!

At some of the cash rates, it's an OK property, (was seeing 220 JOD on some days!) but once you consider it can be snagged for 20 thousand - 25 thousand on points, it's a no brainer.
