Al Manara, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Saraya Aqaba

Convenient location that is quiet, but still convenient to walk into town. Small details like items in mini bar were missing, though we weren’t mistakingly charged for the missing items, luckily. Great, friendly front desk staff. Rooms are beautiful and we were upgraded upon check in.

We were made to feel very welcome and the hotel has lots of excellent attributes- the rooms are so spacious, nice sea view, very comfortable beds, delicious breakfast. Improvements could be made for the dinner ( we were on half-board deal) as it was more or less the same each evening. Also, there was a shortage of sun beds on the beaches which led to people “reserving“ them before breakfast.

Beautiful hotel with a decent infinity pool and beach setting and tasteful artwork decor plus My son’s request for a suite (sweet) when asked if he’d like a suite or a room was really appreciated - this gave us an outside terrace where he could wander about unsupervised without climbing up the wall and wander in too Kids club here was unsupervised here unlike at Hyatt Regency where the 3 to 4 staff laid on hourly activities in a safe and organised setting however my son still enjoyed going there just as much The kids pool was a bit featureless and seemed unused mostly. Breakfast & dinner were very nice and tasty only diwnside being staff at breakfast seemed too busy for time to clear/set tables quick enough and getting attention to simply get missing napkins was a 10minute multiple request. Coffee & tea were set on one side amongst this hectic environment and unsafe to be carried about amongst kids and adults everywhere. The cooked breakfast bar was soo busy I gave up trying to queue with son tugging me away - would have appreciated help if someone had asked given awkward to get up once toddler had finally sat down at least to eat. On the big plus side staff at dinner went out of their way to ensure we got sons chips and pizza even to take away given his will to just play around and not sit to eat at all despite efforts. Overall a great experience worth my stay for sure just son & I enjoyed more at the Hyatt Regency with its pool features swimming there all day.

excellent !!!!!

Amazing hotel and great staff. The facilities are absolutely fantastic and we enjoyed our stay so much. The hotel is designed beautifully and does not seem full or noisy. Great for couples! Food is delicious in the buffet restaurant. I would not recommend the hotel's Arabic Restaurant which was not very good. Don't forget to visit the Red Beach as its quiet and beautiful!
