Um Frouth Rock Bridge Tours

Whilst this property has a few things that would benefit from tidying up, or modernising, and the dining options are limited, it is the team themselves who make this a great stay and a really good, reasonably priced, conveniently situated hotel in Aqaba. The team at this hotel, and especially the management, are well spoken, polite, supportive, and prepared to go every extra mile that they can to support their guests. There is a good level of English language spoken for non-Arabic speakers, and every action is focused on providing comfort and support wherever possible. For higher prices, there are invariably more glamorous choices in Aqaba, but these are often noisy, and hectic, with little time for individual focus. At the Oryx, every guest was the focus, treated like friends visiting rather than people passing through. Nothing was too much trouble, and I would happily recommend it as a terrific reasonably priced option for a stay in the area.

The property is clean and new overall, with a unique classic interior for everything from the lobby to the rooms. Some things to consider: 1. Breakfast is a set menu. 2. There was no option to have dinner at the property, we were told the kitchen is closed this week. 3. The staff could use some attention to details and trying to delight customers, no one was there to help us offload our luggage from the car for example.

Amazing staff, exceptional service.
