Amazing stay
Pros:

​Our stay at the Al Manara Hotel exceeded all expectations. We enjoyed ourselves immensely—the rooms were clean, the service was excellent, and the staff absolutely love children.

​I would especially like to highlight our experience at the Sabeel Bar by the pool. The team there are wonderful and special people who truly made our vacation so much better. Peter, Ala'a, and Tim gave us and our daughters the most genuine, warm, and caring service possible. We look forward to returning soon and seeing the guys again!

Perfect with Mr Eyad Ammouri
Pros:

Our stay at Al-Manara was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we experienced genuine warmth, luxury, and outstanding hospitality. The hotel is beautiful, but what made our stay unforgettable was the incredible team who made us feel welcomed and valued.

A very special thank you to Mr Eyad Ammouri, who truly went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. His professionalism, kindness, and genuine care for guests stood out from the very beginning. He was always welcoming, attentive, and ready to assist with anything we needed. His ability to anticipate our needs, ensure every detail was taken care of, and make us feel like truly valued guests reflects the highest standards of hospitality. Team members like Mr.Eyad Ammouri are what make guests want to return.

We would also like to sincerely thank Abdlelrahman Aldalo for his exceptional kindness, professionalism, and outstanding hospitality. His welcoming attitude, attention to detail, and genuine care made a lasting impression on us. He went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable and appreciated, and his dedication truly added to our wonderful experience at Al-Manara.

A heartfelt thank you to Sarah and Baraa from the spa for their warm hospitality and exceptional service. They made our spa experience relaxing and memorable.

We are also grateful to Yanal and Issa, the buffet servers, for their friendliness, attentiveness, and excellent service. They always greeted us with a smile and made every meal more enjoyable.

A special thank you to the talented culinary team, especially Chef Khalil, Chef Basem, and Chef Tamyat, for their incredible work and dedication. Their passion, attention to detail, and commitment to creating delicious dining experiences truly made our meals memorable.

We would also like to thank the security team for their patience, compassion, and professionalism. During a moment when my nephew became very upset, they handled the situation with great understanding and care. Their kindness meant a lot to our family.

The people are what make Al-Manara truly special. We highly recommend
Al-Manara to anyone visiting Aqaba and look forward to returning again. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Best Hotel Stay
Pros:

We stayed at Al Manara in Aqaba Jordan and got the Villa room. From the moment we walked in we felt like people of high status. The staff welcomed us and took care of any of our requests. Big thanks to Jenny who provided us with help 24/7 and was able to provide anything we could think of. We hope to return and stay here at Al Manara once again!
