Oryx Hotel Aqaba

My husband and myself have had an exceptional experience here. Our every need has been taken care of down to fine details. The breakfast buffet is superb. A very large variety of foods, absolutely delicious. I must say I always look forward to my breakfast. A lovely tranquil, pretty garden with trees to relax in. The view from my room is wonderful, I love it. I can see all my favourite things, trees, greenery, the sea, the mountains and beyond to the horizon. I have a sunny balcony. I feel at peace here in Jordan and at the Oryx hotel. The people are positive, kind, thoughtful, helpful always smiling and ready to accommodate us. I prefer Chamomile tea - the girl who does my room always makes sure I have plenty. As our stay is more than a month we needed to extend our visa. The stuff here were amazing - the security officer here along with their shuttle bus took us to get it all sorted. The security manager was our spokesman and made everything so easy. Raghad the receptionist is marvellous too, arranging everything for us down to the fine details. I love to chat with her about Jordan life. All the reception stuff are so nice and welcoming. The same with Chastine and all the restaurant stuff and chefs - Abood cooked my eggs to perfection. I said to my husband, I feel so looked after here. I can sincerely say this is the best hotel experience I have ever had. Our stay here is nearly 6 weeks. It feels like home to me. Our first time in Jordan. Everything all so new to us. Here at The Oryx our transition into Jordan life has been so smooth. We love walking around downtown, going to the beaches - the local one and the southern ones. Everyone so friendly. We went on one of those glass bottom boats, just for 6JD each at Al Ghandour local beach. It was so much fun. I could write a book here. In short my husband and myself are super happy. The best winter we have ever had.

The place is good and is a great value for money, the location is also great close to the Fountain Mall and Ayla. The staff are superb, kind and very helpful, they did beyond what is possible to make our stay better after we asked for room change. They were very considerate about our needs for a clean fresh room. Miss Raghad also offered a very nice complimentary package that made our day. The rooms are great size,well maintained, has all essentials (tooth brush, paste, razors, soap... etc), the veiw is also great over looking the sea and the city, the hotel has gym, spa) There is also good swimming pools and birds down stairs if you fancy those things. A special thanks to Miss Raghad, Miss Batool, Mr Hamzeh and Mr Ahmad for their help during our stay.

We had a wonderful stay here. The day we arrived, we were brought beautiful chocolates and a welcome card directly to our room, courtesy of the hotel, which was a lovely touch. The reception staff were courteous and helpful, all the way. Buffet breakfast had many varieties of food, from a selection of Arab breakfast foods to Continental pastries, bread, pancakes and omelettes. A big shout out to Miss Majda and the rest of the breakfast team :). Although the hotel is further from the town centre than most places we would usually stay in in Aqaba, there is a free shuttle bus service that goes back and forth to the hotel continuously throughout the day. Our room was large and bright, and the beds were wide and comfortable. Excellent value for money.

A special accommodation, the reception is very friendly, the staff are very helpful, the breakfast food is delicious and varied, thank you to Miss. Raghad

A very pleasant hotel, within walking distance to the city center and the beach. the hotel equipment is a bit older, but it is still a nice accommodation.
