Cottages in Aqaba Governorate

"Wonderful experience- sunset jeep tour , stargazing and balloon ride all amazing- -dinner buffer was bountiful and food incredible - bubble gets cold at nite since it continuously draws in cold air - and those fuzzy robes to keep you warm- well they gave us intense itching and rash!! Otherwise the entire staff was so attentive and caring- thanks!!"

"What a wonderful time and an even more wonderful staff. From Eyad, the hotel manager, to Ismael and Kenneth from the restaurant, to the warm and contagious smile of Suha. This stay had no misses. Ann from housekeeping was a delight. I absolutely loved everything about my stay. There was an issue with my food order and Ahmad at the pool immediately notified the manager, they rectified the issue immediately and made me feel welcomed. I will never stay anywhere else when I visit Aqaba. This trip and the time at Al Manara was everything I needed and more. "

"Love the place"

"Great hotel with fantastic facilities. Hard to fault. The beach is lovely and the lagoon was a nice surprise. Pretty much had the hotel to ourselves during Ramadan, but service continued as usual (incl. drinks). "

"Great hotel"

"This has to be one of the most incredible experiences - and stays - we’ve ever had! Eid picked us up from the town, where we stopped to grab some snacks and bread (relax, it’s not a scam, nobody is going to ask you for money). We then sat down and had a chat at his house (where you leave your car). Eid made us feel incredibly welcome - and safe. As an LGBTQ couple it can feel a little apprehensive to travel - Eid acknowledged that literally told us to be ourselves and act no different than we normally would. From there we went on a tour of the south part of Wadi Rum - which was UNREAL. If only we had more time we would have definitely done more. The camp was stunning and the food - both dinner and breakfast - were better than the food we had at any other hotels in Jordan. A truly delicious feast. The stars and that feeling you get waking up in the desert in a pod can’t be explained and you can only understand it when you experience it. While every single thing about this stay was exceptional, I think what really blew our mind was Eid’s (and everybody else working at the camp) hospitality - all genuine, interesting people who made it their mission to ensure we had an adventure to remember. We have many friends who are thinking of visiting Jordan and we’re making sure they’ll be staying at this camp. You should too!"

"I ended up having to extend my stay and chose Oryx. Very high level of service, excellent breakfast, everyone very attentive. Sliding glass door to balcony needed the lock repaired; was fixed in 10 minutes with a call to the front desk. All in all a very good experience there. Would reccomend."

"Peaceful place with a great view"

"Best two nights in a hotel since ever. "
