Guests are provided with personalized beauty kits containing liquid soaps, shampoos, shower gels, hair conditioners and body lotions.

How much would it cost for a week of accommodation in such an apartment for two people with breakfast? Standard price - 50,000 rubles.

By receiving a discount or promotional offer, guests can save 20-30%.

Staff

Many people who have been here are happy to talk about how well trained the specialists are who serve the guests of the Marina Plaza Resort Tala Bay 4* hotel. Aqaba is the only resort in all of Jordan, so there are a lot of tourists here. And it is logical to assume that the sea and beaches should not be particularly clean at the height of the season. But not in this case. The hotel has a private beach, and it is cleaned throughout the day, several times. The sand here is clean, it’s nice to be on the beach. And the sea, accordingly, pleases too.

By the way, even though it is stated that the staff speaks only English, French and Arabic, guests assure that there are several administrators at the reception who speak Russian fluently. However, it won’t hurt to take a phrasebook with you.

The rooms are cleaned well, every day, and towels are changed with the same regularity. Linen - upon request. Every day they provide a bottle of purified water per person. Supplies of shampoos, gels, toilet paper and other hygiene products are regularly replenished. In general, in terms of service, Marina Plaza Resort Tala Bay 4* receives mostly positive reviews.

Guests who have already visited the hotel often give some recommendations about their stay at Marina Plaza Resort Tala Bay 4*. The photo of the hotel clearly demonstrates that the hotel corresponds good level. However, the prices also indicate this. Everything in Jordan is quite expensive - a dirham costs more than a dollar. Therefore, it is much more profitable to take the all-inclusive service rather than a room with a kitchen.

By the way, if you need to buy something in a mini-market or store, you don’t have to change rubles. As many assure, it is quite possible to pay with them here.

And one more thing. It's definitely worth going on excursions. Jordan - very interesting country. And at least the hot springs and the Dead Sea should be visited. It’s better to buy excursions on the spot, they are inexpensive here.

What else is worth knowing?

Finally, a couple more nuances about It is worth noting the fact that the hotel often greets guests with gifts. For example, regular guests, birthday people and newlyweds. They can give you cakes, fruits and other nice little things.

For many, a definite advantage is the lack of animation. No noise - silence, calm and privacy. So guests can simply have a pleasant time in the evening on the well-kept grounds of the hotel, surrounded by trees, palms and other vegetation.

And if you want entertainment, you can go to Aqaba, where a free bus runs several times every day (it also takes guests back). By the way, prices there are an order of magnitude lower than in the area where the hotel is located. Therefore, it’s worth going there for souvenirs, gifts and groceries; you’ll save a lot.

Otherwise the hotel is wonderful. With good, rather modest prices for accommodation, an excellent level of service and a private beach. The hotel is advertised as a family hotel, but everyone comes here, regardless of the type of vacation.
