The main building’s rooms mostly have views over the sea, while the other guest rooms are located in a two-storey village complex in front of the main building, created using traditional stone. The rooms are fairly simple, but this adds to the relaxed atmosphere. Like most hotels in Jordan, the focus is on comfort and good facilities rather than being overly glamorous.
There are nine restaurants and bars, mainly located in the Village Square, offering a complete range of culinary options, from Chinese cuisine at Chopsticks to traditional Italian fare at Luigi's. The Zara Spa is one of the largest and most advanced in the Middle East, offering a whole range of 'Dead Sea’ treatments. The resort has a number of pools, including one which is heated in winter.
