Wonderful staff and service at the Kempinski Dead Sea resort. Unfortunately the spa facility was closed for repair, so we weren’t able to enjoy it as planned, however the personnel throughout the resort more than made up for the disappointment with their kind and attentive service.

Excellent service, everyone was incredibly friendly and going out of their way to help and ensure we were having a good stay | the resort itself is gorgeous with great architecture and amenities, especially the spa and outdoor heated pool | where the hotel loses is the room itself (we had the panoramic view room) as it's incredibly dated and falling apart.

Great hotel. Very clean room. Can’t praise the staff enough. Very responsive and courteous staff. Great location right on the Dead Sea. Wonderful views, beautiful sunsets.

I recently stayed at the Kempinski Hotel Ishtar Dead Sea and really enjoyed the beautiful setting and direct access to the Dead Sea. The mud bath was a definite highlight. However, breakfast was disappointing — the staff felt inattentive and rarely acknowledged me, which affected an otherwise great stay. Overall, a lovely hotel with room to improve on service at breakfast.
