The hotel is actually very nice, it has nice pool, the rooms are clean and air conditioned and most importantly the staff are amazing and helpful. After arriving we needed to get some stuff from the supermarket and they were kind enough to drive us there and back to the hotel. They also helped us getting transportation to downtown aqaba. I've had a lovely time there and would visit again.
We stayed for 2 nights and chose this hotel because it has a private pool, which was good for us as we were 3 girls travelling alone.
The first night the hotel receptionist started touching my friend's legs under the table and trying to "feed" her dinner. A few minutes later he tried to pull me into a dark bush near the hotel. The owner apologised when we told him and told us he would fire the guy.
The second night the owner was by the pool with a friend, then the owner left. His friend, very drunk, came up to us and started making comments about our "romantic bodies" and generally making sexual comments. He refused to leave us alone and so the police came to arrest him.
During our second night we also had no water in our room, which meant using the communal showers and toilets. A very uncomfortable feeling in the evening considering the amount of sexual harassment from staff members. They charged us full price for the room, ignoring the inconvenience of having no water.
Although the pool is technically a private pool for customers, we often saw creepy local men lounging around smoking shisha, watching us in the pool.
As for the diving centre next to the hotel (Dive Aqaba - Nemo Dive Center), the married owner is called Sammy and tries to sleep with female tourists, we went diving with him and later he propositioned my sister, asking if she would sleep with him. He got angry when she refused.
I have been to over 40 countries and I have never, ever stayed in such a terrible place. STAY AWAY.
I had a great stay here! Staff very friendly and helpful, clean rooms, nice pool, and right across from the beach! Scuba and snorkeling opportunities right next door. Enjoyable stay in aqaba, definately recommended!

Good Diving center
I really recommand to stay for few days, a week or much more if you can :)
Snorkeling, scuba diving, sunbathing, friendly staff and good food, what could be better? Thank you Nemo dive center for excellent dives, especially thanks to instructor Sami. Clean pool, helpful staff, good food and a nice room. I felt safe and welcome. highly recommend the hotel and definitely come back soon. Thank you for everything.
Lets start with the good: if you dive then the place is perfect, right next to the dive sites.
Very chilled out placed, comfortable, with plenty of sofas and chairs next to the pool to relax. the view is amazing!
The breakfast was simple and good, just what we needed.
The staff was as nice as they get, very helpful and very accommodating.
Not that good: the rooms as a bit small, the showers are are barely dissent.
