Coral Bay at the Royal Diving Club is a luxury hotel located 18 km from Aqaba city center in a superb location that excites the imagination a place where natural beauty meets modern vitality.
Good and well presented local food with an idealic on-beach setting for quality swimming and snorkling. A regular shuttle bus service to Aqaba gave easy access to the city. In keeping with 4 other hotels I stayed at in Jordan, the bed mattresses are hard. If you wanted an orthopaedic bed: great - otherwise uncomfortable.
The room was comfortable with a beautiful sea view. The snorkeling off the beach was great. The fact that we had everything we needed on site (small shop, rental of diving equipment, buffet, restaurant, snack bar) meant we didn't have to go into the centre of Aqaba - although there was a convenient shuttle service. Functioning AC and TV with a wide selection of channels. Overall we had a pleasant couple of days. While the hotel was OK, we felt it was too expensive for what it was. We had spent a few days at the Intercontinental in Aqaba at the beginning of our Jordan trip, and for marginally more money, we got considerably more value. Our room had a door into the neighbouring room, which although it was locked meant we could hear everything nextdoor and conversely. The room was not overly clean and our toilet flush didn't work. Our wardrobe door also fell off when we tried opening it. The beach was very crowded (but admittedly it was Easter weekend) and many of the deck chairs broken. The buffet was decent but overpriced compared to similar (or better) buffets in other hotels.
staff was courteous and eager to help.
great location on the beach, wonderful access to good diving. The staff were friendly and the room was clean. Our second room (we asked to change) had a great view of the sea the shower was broken, our first room had a view of the wall. The breakfast was really not good
