I had mixed feelings about my stay. The location is wonderful, nestled inside a botanical garden which was a highlight for me. Unfortunately, the rooms weren't in the best shape—seemed a bit tired and not very clean. The service was friendly but had its moments of confusion. Overall, it’s in a great spot but could use improvements in the room quality and service consistency.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the plus side, the location is stunning with breathtaking views of both the desert landscape and the Dead Sea, and the staff was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to help. However, the rooms left a lot to be desired as they weren't very clean or well-maintained, and the dining experience didn't meet my expectations with limited fresh options. Overall, it's a decent spot, but improvements are definitely needed in a few areas.

I had a nice stay at the hotel, with its exceptional location near the Dead Sea and stunning views of the surrounding nature. While the rooms were a bit simple and small compared to other places we've stayed, the overall atmosphere was relaxing. The service could be hit or miss, with some staff being quite rude, but overall I managed to get the help I needed. The dining options were great, with delicious food available. However, I felt the prices were slightly high for the value offered.
