Had a short but wonderful stay at the Hilton Dead Sea resort! I chose Hilton as an Honors member, and opted to use some points for the stay. The property is just over a year old, and it is GORGEOUS! It has a warm and inviting infinity pool (with a swim up bar) and a private beach with a jetty so that you may experience the Dead Sea's hypersalinity - allowing you to float freely and comfortably. Dont fret - if you are not a swimmer, or a little afraid, beachside assistants will assist you - you are massaged in mineral rich mud from the sea, and then they will escort you down and help you float while rinsing the mud if you desire. Once you're done floating (which is not recommended for more than 10min before rinsing before a repeat dip), you can engage in a salt scrub if you desire. Beware, it is a beach, and there are sand fleas. My friend and I got bitten terribly by them. Other than this, our experience was worth the itchiness for a few days.
The rooms are top notch. We stayed in the Madaba building on the first floor. The room has a separate water closet, so you would have to walk across the hall to wash your hands (could be seen as a plus and a minus). The beds were really comfortable, and we had a nice patio to enjoy looking out at the property. My only complaint is that, had there been more than gao people in our room, the space for our bags was very limited. I gave my friend the luggage rack, and ended up using the sitting table and chairs for my stuff since they were adjacent to my bed.
Honestly, most views from the property are spectacular. We enjoyed a great dinner on the patio of the on site Lebanese restaurant our first night there, and then had dinner on the patio of the main/lobby floor of the hotel.
The hospitality was spectacular. The concierge was more than accomodating to assist us in setting up transport to local, or other excursions (Mohammed was great!). We used their contract agency, Avis, for a day trip to Petra, and also to go to Mt. Nebo on our way to the airport. Also, use their airport transport! It is the cheapest and most reliable that you can get!
Overall, definitely looking forward to another stay at the Hilton Dead Sea Resort and being able to enjoy more of its amenities!
