From the door when I first arrived, the security came to check my belongings, it was ok for me since it is for safety. But when checking in the front desk, the reception employee told me that food is not allowed to come in to the hotel from outside. This must be informed before the reservation was confirmed, not after midnight check in.

This was a fantastic stay, and it was my first time there. The people were extremely helpful, spoke excellent English, and made me feel very welcome. The rooms were tremendous and the bed was very comfortable, so I got really good rest.

This is a really nice, upscale hotel located about half a mile from the seafront in Aqaba. The photographs on the website don't do the hotel justice - the lobby and reception are beautiful. Service was good and the staff are friendly. The restaurant offers a buffet dinner for around $15 JOD/each and alcohol is available in the hotel . There are car parking spaces at the front the property which are free of charge. The room was pleasant with a large balcony overlooking the city.

Let me start with pointing out that the staff at this hotel are exceptional, very helpful and friendly. We booked connecting rooms, & when we got there we found hair here and there, so when the manager asked the next day if everything was ok, we informed him about it. We were super impressed how they handled it. The manager who is responsible for housekeeping clearly was disappointed to hear that and wanted to meet us in person and make sure they meet our expectations (apparently he is a consultant from abroad who joined the hotel recently). Later, when we came back to our rooms after a beach time, we found not only super clean rooms, but also we were so surprised to see rose petals all over our bed and towel swans, it might be a small thing, but definitely made our day! For the rest our stay they kept asking if there was anything else they could do for us, they truly managed to make us feel special throughout the stay. They also helped us to find a driver from Aqaba to Wadi Rum at a very reasonable price. If to be completely honest, to meet 5 star hotel standards, they require a little cosmetic renovation to freshen up, but they told us that they are aware of it and working on it, so thats good. They also had a belly dance every night from 9-10pm that we enjoyed very much. We would like to say special thanks to Mohd Shobaki and Nep, you guys went above and beyond and our experience at Oryx Hotel was definitely a highlight of the whole Jordan trip.
