Guest reviews for Kempinski Hotel Ishtar Dead Sea

Everyone (1)
4 out of 5

Great stay

Pros: Infinity pool, hotel staff, valet gentlemen.
Cons: Bring your own wine into the hotel. Better lighting in the room, felt really dark in the evening. Shower pressure and better blow dryers.
Location: Dead Sea, Mount Nebo, Ma'in Hot Spring(lots of creepy men there) but beautiful waterfalls and pools, Baptismal Site, visit other hotel restaurants.
The infinity pool is great. It's kept at a warm temperature so even in cool weather you are comfortable being in the water. Great access to the dead sea and mud. Our room was lovely, enjoyed the tub. Our shower had low pressure, but was a great space. We had got a flat tire and the valet guys were amazing, removed our tire and put the spare on, then guided us to a place to have the tire patched. Breakfast buffet was included and that was delicious, a wide range of food to choose from. The lighting by the pancakes could have been better, couldn't see the syrup that I was putting on my pancakes until I left that area. The only upsetting part is that we purchased wine at the duty free in the airport and we were unable to bring it to our room to drink. The same bottle of wine at the hotel was 48 JD and in the airport it was 7 JD. We were not told about this rule until we arrived at the hotel.
