Dead Sea Marriott Resort & Spa

"Why we love it : A classic Marriott in a spectacular setting The Highlights: - Rooms with balconies for taking in the sea vistas - A family-friendly range of dining options - The Dead Sea saltwater pool in the signature spa The Review: The best resorts on Jordan’s Dead Sea coast offer the cozy comforts of a small hotel, but also plenty of space to roam and explore. This Marriott hits just the right mix. Here, vast landscaped grounds descend in a series of terraces to the waterline, with plenty of shady corners for when you’re done lounging by the pool or bobbing in the salty sea. Inside, spacious guest rooms feature just enough design touches such as dark wooden louvered windows to remind you that you’re in Jordan, along with extras like balconies to enjoy the views. As expected at a Marriott, there are several restaurants and poolside bars on-site. On the more surprising side, there’s quite a nice spa with a Dead Sea pool, and all the hot water at the hotel is heated by solar power in a nod to environmental consciousness."
