Find the Best Romantic Hotels Shoonah Janoobiah District

What a contrast to the Movenpick I visited earlier in my trip at Petra. This was a luxury hotel, the hotel is laid out as a small village ultimately leading down to a private beach on the Dead Sea. Its unique layout means a small map is useful and given on check in. I only stayed 4 nights, but had a lovely room, very well soundproofed, very clean and fitted out to a decent standard. It was a perfect way to spend a few days before returning home. The staff were all helpful and friendly. The hotel is impressive. Even days in I was finding new things, like a Jacuzzi right next to my room! The hotel has a few swimming pools. A larger family one, with a bar and closer to the beach a smaller adults only pool. My only downside would be why music has to be constantly at the pools. It did seem a bit over the top. During my stay I also booked the Spa and had a very relaxing massage, the choice was substantial with loads of options. The one I chose was 50 mins for 85 Dinas (£110) and the layout and spec of the spa was one of the best I’ve seen. The hotel food was a mix, in the evenings a choice of Buffett for 26 Dinas (£35) or a trip to the restaurant village which has a Grill, an Italian & a Chinese to pick from. The only issue was eating at the restaurant village they have a band/belly dancer and the volume is so loud it’s impossible to talk to anyone else at the table. It’s a shame as it’s a nice idea, but just so incredibly loud. I found lunches could be a mixed bag too, beach bars seemed a lot of money for the limited menu, but the bar near reception, the Al-Khayyam bar seemed as good as any with a decent choice for about 15 Dinas (£20) Overall I really liked the hotel, it’s somewhere I would return. They are trying to appeal to a large market of families, couples & singles, with cultural differences from Western, Eastern and Arabic guests, so I’d take that into account booking here too.

The room is spacious and clean, the Arabic-style lobby is very stylish and beautiful, there is a private beach leading directly to the Dead Sea, and several different restaurants in the hotel are also very good, especially the Italian restaurant. The hotel has three swimming pools, one of which is heated and perfect for relaxation.
