What was good and what was bad?
GOOD
  • Very pleasant property: despite its size, the resort is very pleasant, as it is made up of small buildings set in green, relaxing surroundings.
  • Numerous pools, including one adults only pool with infinity pool and bar
  • Private beach to experiment Dead Sea bath and mud mask
  • Superb spa (Diamond receive free access)
  • Free valet parking
  • Excellent Libanese restaurant (same chef as at InterContinental Jordan Amman). Diamond members receive 30 percent discount.
  • Pretty good breakfast, but served in a room that can be quickly noisy (terrace is definitely a better option).
  • Tesla power station

BAD
  • Nothing

Value for $ or IHG One Rewards Points? Would you return?
I'm not a resort guy (more of an urban traveler), and I generally only stay two or three days in resorts.
But I have to admit that I really enjoyed my stay: the staff are charming and the environment is really relaxing.
