We went for breakfast to Mövenpick in Petra a couple of days ago (staying in a different hotel) and really loved the buffet and the atmosphere there. Ibrahim, the food manager in Petra, was so friendly and helpful, that we came again the next morning. The best decision on a really cold day. After this delicious breakfast we did not feel the cold at all. 😊 After this great experience when we looked for a place to stay in Aqaba our first choice was of course Mövenpick. We loved everything there: the friendly staff, the nice rooms, the delicious food, the perfect location, the beach. Just everything. We did not have a single bad experience. Everyone at the reception, in the restaurant or even at the car park greeted us with a warm smile and tried to fulfil every wish we had. There is nothing anyone could have done better. When in Petra or Aqaba choose Mövenpick! You‘ll love it. Hundert percent guarantee. 😊😊

Having to leave

I loved the overall atmosphere and the thoughtful design of the property. The rooms were comfortable, well-designed, and offered stunning views, making our stay very relaxing. The location is excellent—everything from shops and restaurants to the Royal Yacht Club is within walking distance, which made exploring the area so convenient. The family-friendly amenities, like dedicated kids’ areas and engaging activities, ensured that everyone had a great time. Plus, the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, always going the extra mile to make sure we were happy. The attention to detail, from the delicious coffee to the personalized service, made our stay truly memorable.

While our overall experience was excellent, there were a few minor things that could be improved. One detail we noticed was that the wood in the sauna appeared to be painted, which is not ideal, as it can affect the sauna experience and potentially release toxins. Additionally, there was a bit of a walk between the main building and the pools or beach, which could be a bit inconvenient at times. However, these were minor issues in an otherwise wonderful stay.

very good location, close to the Aqaba center and right on the beach...the hotel is very nice, nice lounge and restaurants, very well maintained garden with swimming pools, special private beach with very fine sand, smooth entrance to the water, perfect for families with children, and a beach bar with reasonable prices.. The staff in the restaurants and at the breakfast is very kind.. a very good option if you stay in Aqaba

the rooms would still require a renovation, their appearance is outdated, the bathrooms are very old-fashioned with dirty tiles, the wooden accessories also need to be better maintained.. of all the staff we met, only one lady from the reception was kind to us seemed with an inappropriate, hateful attitude, possibly due to the fact that we are Europeans and come from another culture..

I loved the hotel pools and beach is wonderful, The beds and pillows was great comfortable as usual. Over all it was great.

the beach ambrellas it does not protect from the sun so you don't feel that you're sitting in the shadow it's summer now and it's super hot in aqaba so you need a well covered ambrellas. Another point is the beach restaurant I know it's out side area but even though it need an AC I couldn't dine in it it was terribly hot I couldn't breath .eventually I went back to my room ordered room service. I wish that you could improve the food quality I know we're in low season ... but in high prices the guest deserves a better quality.

The staff were very helpful and welcoming Receptionist hanin and Amani they were very friendly Manager Mr Mohammad hmoud was checking many times to ensure that everything is okay Chefs Mr Mohammad Mousa and chef omar alreyati and chef morzaq they kept checking everytime and asked for food quality Life guards Ghanem nassar and Amer dghemat were very kind and professional Thank you for spending great time sure I will come back again Highly recommended hotel 🏨

we had an upgrade to a suite which was a lovely surprise! Bed was comfortable and the room was spacious. The staff were very friendly and helpful, breakfast was great with lots of choice and didn’t have the chaotic feel that some hotel breakfasts have. Location was really good, walking distance to restaurants and the fort and a funny little pub called Rovers Return! Gym was generally well equipped though some of the equipment was a bit dated it was still usable. Beach was lovely and clean and comfortable sun loungers, same around the pool, plenty of space - I would definitely stay here again

The policy about no outside food and beverages, while I completely understand no alcohol or a full supermarket shop, I don’t understand why you can’t take a couple slices of pizza, that you can’t finish at dinner, but might want to have while watching TV later that evening - especially when the room had a full size fridge and dining table! Strange policy Movenpick, although it does seem to be a common rule among higher end hotels that offer their own restaurants and bars.

One of the best experience I ever had with a hotel was when I stayed at Movenpick in Aqaba. From the moment we arrived, it felt like we were royalty! The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, always going out of their way to make sure our stay was perfect. I’d like to thank Ms. Taraf for the incredible hospitality as she upgraded my room as a welcoming and all the receiption team as well. The room itself was luxurious and comfortable, with all of the amenities you could want from a five-star hotel. Breakfast was served in a large dining area with an outdoor dining and food was great.

Sound isolation between rooms is not good.

The room was awesome, as well as the pool and private beach. We spent most of our time there. Very clean and spacious. The staff was very nice and helpful, they accomodated our early check-in and late check-out requests.

The food quality was not up to the standards of such a place. International breakfast was cold; fresh orange juice is definitely not fresh; dinner lacked Jordanian food and the one available was not that good.

Outstanding service and most of the facilities. Breakfast was great and offered a wide range of items. Chocolate hour is a great touch too. Private beach is great too.

The gym is very poor for a 5 star hotel. I had to pay a small corkage fee for alcoholic drinks which I bought back to my hotel and was told I could only drink them in my room. This is a very degrading rule. If I have to drink my own drinks in my room that's fine but to pay a corkage fee and not even be able to take my drinks to the beach is absolutely wrong.

Very beautiful beach area, nice pools. The chalets were very comfortable. This is my second time staying here and can say it’s 10x better if you don’t stay during a holiday.

Breakfast was too hectic and not enough staff. I would order from the food menu they have and just never receive an item. Staff seemed overwhelmed with the amount of people from Eid and it reflected a lot in their body language. Checking in was also super hectic and had us waiting an hour to an hour 30 to get to our rooms.
