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
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.
