O Beach Hotel & Resort

While traveling by motorcycle from Switzerland towards Jordan and beyond, we stumbled upon this hotel resort by chance. The young man at reception for check-in was uncomplicated and very friendly. All the staff were extremely welcoming, attentive, and helpful. Our room and bathroom were very clean, and the beds restful and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was generous with a wide variety of options and provided a great start to the day. The restaurant was open until late, offering both à la carte and buffet dining. Swimming in the Dead Sea, the mud wrap (available to guests), and relaxing by the pool were all delightful experiences. Thank you for your warm hospitality. We highly recommend this place.

Great place at a much more affordable price than many other resorts by the dead sea. Large rooms and nice balconies, I went to the restaurant and ordered a burger to my room and it was super good. The breakfast was great, a lot to choose from and beautiful view. I got a really good omelette from the omelette station, absolutely fantastic. My legs were absolutely useless from hiking in the days prior, so I struggled with the steps up and down from the beach, but for a normal person without mobility issues that should not be a problem. I didn’t have time to use the pool, but it looked beautiful. I only stayed for 1 night but I feel I can safely recommend this place. You might want to stay for 2 nights to get the full experience.

Security man at the gate was friendly and efficient. The guy on the check-in desk seemed like he'd rather be anywhere else than at work. The guy who showed us to our room was very friendly and helpful. Our room was fine and well equipt with shampoo/shower gel etc, hair dryer, towels, lots of pillows cushions for comfort and also had a kettle and tea/coffee stuff. Great beach and access to the dead sea. Great swimming pool. However, the on-site restaurant was SHOCKING and has really let the whole place down. We entered to only ONE other person in the restaurant and 3/4 members of staff unaware we were there so we seated ourselves after a few minutes of awkwardly standing in the middle of the entrance. We eventually ordered food and after approx. 35 minutes the food arrived - the starter came with the mains - no big deal, but one meal was the wrong dish and stone cold. We asked for the correct meal to be bought out. Around 10/15 minutes later, after my partner had finished his food, the same plate of food reappeared at the table. We asked for the correct meal for a second time and the staff member just left the plate and took one item off. By this point I no longer want the meal as it's been a disaster and my partner has eaten. More time passes and I state I no longer want the food, and will only pay for what has been eaten but the staff insisted on doing food to go. I declined and left. Around 15 minutes later there was a knock at our room with a member of staff offering a 'new' plate of food. I declined and said it isn't wanted but they insisted and pushed it into hand. I eventually gave up and put the plate inside. The food bought to us was the same as earlier in the restaurant and was still stone cold and still looked unappealing!! Around 5 minutes later there was another knock at the door. It was a different member of staff who pushed a card machine in our face and made us pay for the uneaten dish!! I'd hate to see how this place operates in the busy season! Overall, this evenings poor experience in the restaurant has been a really crappy way to end our 2 week trip to Jordan.

Great hotel. Spacious rooms. Has a private beach access. Friendly staff. Breakfast spread was good but could be better. Pretty laid back this time of year (early January). Did not like the fact that we have to pay for water and that there is no water filter stations. Overall experience was good.

O Beach Resort was very nice, we arrived and check in was very smooth. No outside food or beverage was allowed which caught us by surprise. They have a restaurant on sight but the first 3 items I wanted to order weren’t available. So that was quite annoying since we couldn’t bring outside food. Pint of Beer (Petra Lager) was 5JOD. Room was large, clean, and had a half decent view. We took the stairs down to the beach and enjoyed the Dead Sea. There was a mud pot on the beach for us to use as well which was really fun. There were also beach showers to have a quick rise, a lifeguard, and lots of lounge chairs and shade to enjoy the beach. Be prepared for flies!! They are everywhere.

Great location and the staff are generally friendly, but the whole place had a tired feel about it. Our safe was broken and the shower didn't drain properly, neither was rectified after I'd reported them to staff. The buffet dinner was very limited with plenty of flies around, other guests had different food options, but we couldn't work out if we could order something else.

It's beyond frustrating when a hotel doesn't meet even the basic expectations, especially with things like cleanliness, accessibility, and maintenance. The fact that the facilities were limited (like the pool and beach closing so early) and the room was in such bad condition—makes it feel like you didn't even get what you paid for. I don’t usually leave reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience here. I stayed at this hotel for one night, and it was an absolute nightmare. the location was inconvenient. It takes at least 15 minutes to walk to the beach, and the pool and beach close at 6 PM, which is ridiculously early. The hotel is also not at all accessible for disabled guests. The room was in terrible condition. The shower had mold, the toilet seat was half broken, and the bed sheets were dirty. There were no slippers provided, and the room phone didn’t work, so I had to walk to the reception every time I needed something. After few hours from the check in time, we packed up and left. I complained to the reception he even agreed to what i said but it was too late to change hotels as you can’t even get refund and not worth it to stay the night. Literally left before midnight didn’t even stay for the night. This place is not worth your money or time. Do yourself a favor and look for another hotel.

The Qaft Shop, located at the Dead Sea inside the O Beach Hotel, is really great. Muhammad is very kind, friendly, and a genuinely good person. I highly recommend stopping by if you are visiting the area.
