Bedouin Garden Village, Hotel Dive

Really relaxed feel and so close to the beach where you can snorkel just a few meters from the sand! Amazing. Staff really helpful and friendly. Can rent snorkel gear from hotel. Good Bedouin style areas to relax and chat with other guests and swap stories of travel and tips.

Good facilities but a bit dated. Some excellent areas to relax by the pool

The hotel is ideally located near one of the main diving sites in Aqaba but this means that you will be 12km south of the town centre. Although the hotel is very close to the beach, you have to cross a dual carriage way.The hotel has several areas to relax with free wifi which is a bonus. the best place inour opinion is the roof terrace which unfortunately is often overlooked by a lot of guests.The service at the hotel is poor and often very slow. Prepare yourself for a long wait when ordering food or drinks and avoid placing orders during the staff's own meal times....Cleanliness is certainly not a forte of the management which appears to lack any female member of staff.

This is not a Hotel as it is Dirty in all areas, Rooms, Bathrooms are really bad. I can not recomend for those who care about Hygiene The staff are very layed back

There are several of these little hotels all squished together in one area right across from the public beach on the South Coast. My friend and I stayed here and had a wonderful time, but we spent little time in the room or hotel. Check in went well, there were no extra "hidden" fees, just the cost advertised and the guy behind the desk was friendly. We were able to rent snorkel gear easily and head to the beach. We ate in town (I recommend having your own car or being ready to shell out for taxi). The hotel grounds were very attractive with lots of greenery and shady places to sit. The pool was very small. The room was okay, the beds and bedding were fine, the AC worked great, but the bathroom was kind of crazy with a nearly-broken toilet (took FOREVER to fill the water tank). I wouldn't want to stay very long but for one night and an afternoon of snorkeling it was perfect.

Nice laid back place near the beach, great dive club expertly run by Lynne and Gary. Rooms quite basic but have air con and telly and hot showers. No beer at resort tho, so a short drive into town is needed. Nice place, Stuart UK

The hotel was excellent. The space in the hotel was imaginatively used, with lots of nooks and crannies to relax in as well as roof top spaces to enjoy the sunset. It was literally across the road from the beach, which was excellent. The rooms were spacious and clean. The pool area was also clean and well maintained. The staff were very friendly and provided a good service. The diving instructor (Veronica) was excellent. The hotel manager was very friendly and took opportunities to ensure we were enjoying out stay and that we were comfortable. When my girlfriend lost her camera he even phoned the police and told us how to go about reporting it. We would recommend this hotel to anyone who likes to relax and enjoy the seaside. We hope to come back to this hotel again in the near future. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Aqaba as it is a unique set up with a friendly atmosphere.

This was a good place to stay because it's close to a beach and wonderful snorkling! The hotel people were very nice, polite and helpful. The food was also o.k., especially the fish was good! We recommend this place to travellers.

We went there purely to have a dive. They've just opened up that service this year and have new equipment and our dive guide was a lovely Spanish woman helping them set it up. The roof top for sunset viewing and the cushioned lounging area were cool and there are a couple of competing neighbouring businesses which give a choice for eating etc. Room suited us fine.

This was a very good hotel. Staff was really helpful. They arranged our visit to Petra, which is 2 hours away from Aqaba. The room was clean and the pool was amazing given the weather. The Red Sea shore is just across the street, with an amazing view of Israel. It was good value for our money.
