This elegant and contemporary Arabesque-style hotel enjoys an envious position overlooking the Dead Sea. The downtown area and biblical site of Jesus' baptism in the River Jordan are both just a few miles away. For relaxation, the luxury spa offers mineral-rich treatments whilst a trio of interconnecting swimming pools lead to the therapeutic waters of the sea.

Honeymooners
We come here as Honeymoons, we got a free upgrade to sea view suite with special red theme. Staff memers are amazing with great smile and always willing to help. We greeted warmly and they sent us free amenities. Infinity pool was warm and fantastic and we enjoyed swimming there.
Breakfas and dinner are special and the team is great - Sure we will come back again to enjoy more and more.
Thank you for every one.

Disappointing stay
Frisco, Texas
Our Gate 1 tour included two nights at the Holiday inn Dead Sea. It’s advertised as a ‘deluxe’ property with great views of the Dead Sea. It’s true that the views are beautiful, but my experience was hardly deluxe. I could warn you about a variety of issues during our January stay, such as closed pools, closed entrance to the Dead Sea (I understand the water was too rough to enter but we couldn’t even get close enough to dip a toe), uncomfortably warm rooms, and hard bed/flat pillows. These pale in comparison to the numerous stray cats roaming the property and using the outdoors as their litter box. The rain only seemed to make the odor worse! One cat jumped from the roof onto a nearby chair, so startling us we nearly dropped our drinks. We couldn’t enjoy being outdoors due to the strays; this included trying to hold our breath when we walked to our rooms! Don’t get me wrong, I’m an animal-lover, but not under these conditions. At check-out, there was even more bad news: a $25 JOD ($35 USD) charge for a five-minute free collect call from my room to my credit card company. The Gate 1 guide said he’s had quite a few complaints about such charges, so be careful. I’m disappointed in both the Holiday Inn brand and the InterContinental Hotels Group who owns this chain.

Fantastic hotel, but not quite 5 star
Oxford, United Kingdom
I stayed at this hotel for two nights as part of an organised tour. It's certainly more of a resort than a standard hotel, and it's in a very nice setting on the shore of the Dead Sea. It's not very accessible, but it's the same situation for all of the hotels along the Dead Sea. You either need a bus or a car to get there. Similarly, it's not really possible to leave the site for dinner out or anything like that due to the area.
My only complaint about my room is that all of the rooms are very spread out, and mine was quite far from reception. The room itself was very nice, but not quite 5 star. By UK standards I would describe it as a very good 4 star. The content of the minibar was free (if limited).
While staying here we visited some Christian sites, namely Bethany Beyond the Jordan, Mount Nebo, and Madaba. Given we had a bus the hotel was in a good location for us to do all three of these in a few hours. We also swam in the Dead Sea, the hotel has its own exclusive section of beach which was quite nice. There wasn't really any mud at the sea floor at the hotel's section, but they provided mud in buckets by the showers. The rest of the resort was really nice, but the main pool was closed as it was February. During the summer I imagine it would be a lot nicer.
We had both breakfast and dinner on both days. Both were buffet, and were superb. Lots of choice, and chefs there to make eggs and pancakes in the morning and pasta and sushi in the evening.

Chef Deepak!
We stayed for one night and don't normally stay in Holiday Inn. Deepak is an amazing chef who has really worked hard to provide many options to suit a wider range of guests. We were very impressed. His team are really friendly and helpful.
