Almarsa Village Resort

My buddy and I just had the most epic diving adventure in Aqaba, and it all started with our killer choice of hotel – a full-blown dive haven! Forget the usual resort routine, this place was all about diving deep (pun intended) and creating unforgettable underwater memories.

Very helpful and friendly. We came to rent snorkling gear and were helped very well. Recommended place! Besides that the place is well located, because its only a 1 min walk to the beach. Also the corals are very nice to snorkel through at south beach

The hotel rooms are situated on various floors around a central swimming pool. It seemed we were the only guests as the entire complex was empty and we never saw a single person. The room was clean enough but we had to step over what looked like human excrement ,complete with dirty toilet paper at the room entrance. There were no towels or toilet paper so we immediately returned to reception to ask for these items plus a bin to deposit soiled toilet paper. The reception desk clerk said that none of the things we wanted were available but that he would let us have them when they 'arrived'. As there were no restaurants on site we crossed the road to a nearby Hotel for coffee. On our way back we were accosted by a staff member who suspiciously asked us what we were doing. We replied that we were returning to our bedroom but he did not understand and pointed us to reception. After two hours had elapsed we again walked to reception to ask again for toilet paper etc. Again the reply was that none was available at the present time. After another hour had elapsed and still the basic items had not arrived we decided to leave. We were forced to pay half the daily room rate for the three hours we had spent there. We were relieved when our taxi arrived and we were away from that depressing place.

Wonderful Dive Hotel, directly across the road, with unobstructed views of South Beach, Amman. The owner, Moe, and his entire staff can't be beat for friendliness and service. They will go out of the way to make sure your stay is enjoyable. A nice, delicious breakfast buffet, including omelets cooked-to-order, enjoyed while overlooking the gulf, is included with your stay. The dive operator, Mohammad, is both an SSI and PADI Instructor, with years of dive experience, and more importantly.....he loves diving. I myself am an SSI Advanced Open Water Instructor, with over 30 ys diving instruction experience, and can say without any hesitation, I will dive anywhere with Mohammad. He us first and foremost, very safety conscious, and respects the industry standards. If you are looking for a 5-Star resort, this isn't your place. HOWEVER, If you are looking for a nice clean room, with excellent service, and great diving.....at less than half the cost.........book it here, with Almarsa Village, now.
