Checking in was chaos, staff could not cope with amount of people. When we finally started the process of checking in the hotel telephone started to ring. The female member of staff immediately stopped serving us and answered the telephone despite the fact she was in the middle of serving us ! This is very bad manners to answer telephone whilst dealing with a customer who is currently being served at check in. The female member of staff forgot to give us our passports as she had put them next to her computer, so had to ask her for our passports.

Not worth the money

Disappointed and not worth the money - the resort is really outdated and needs some serious love. Our room had a smell, the shower felt dirty and a lot of features barely worked (lights not working, tv had no sound etc). Advertised a swim up bar but this was closed off and looked like it had never been open. For the price we paid I wish we’d stayed elsewhere as this was not worth the money at all

Pleasant staff. Lovely comfortable spacious upper floor room and comfy bed and balcony with a view of the sea. Decor and fittings in need of upgrade (shabby cushions on the balcony, crooked door on the fridge cupboard). Delicious breakfast with lots of choices. Great selection of pools, lovely gardens and little shops. Taxi ride into central Aqaba.

Go just for the location!

The location of the resort is brilliant. The resort itself has seen better days. It is tired and run down. The room was basic, pillows were as hard as rocks, mattress was lumpy. The cleanliness was barely basic, needs a thorough clean every so often to keep it looking even average. Disappointed in the reception staff. I mentioned I'd be spending my birthday on my own at the resort, she barely acknowledged my comment and did not try to make my stay special.

Very nice property with very friendly staff and beautiful grounds. We were greeted with a cold glass of strawberry juice during check-in and Ahmed at the front desk was excellent. The zero clearance pool offered a beautiful view of the Sea and the food was excellent. There was a slight problem with the room keys deactivating and sometimes a language barrier with staff who did not speak English but all in all we had a very relaxing and enjoyable time.

Good and not too expensive hotel at Tala Bay

Nice hotel, great views, probably not a bad view in the whole place! We had a garden view room but it was also overlooking a pool and the sea. The pools looked nice, but we lived at the beach!❤️ Wonderful beach access, even some nice coral close by for snorkeling:) The Tala Bay Resort area is amazing!

Slow and frustrating check in but worth the delay.

Had great difficulty finding the entrance to this resort. Drive up and down several times before we realised the entrance is an unmarked and you enter through a No Entry gate with No Entry signs and a barrier. The other gate was not manned and had metal posts - again unmarked. All very strange and unwelcoming! Very slow check in because the receptionist staff couldn’t find the booking. He found it in the end albeit under Expedia rather than hotels. Com which obviously must be one and the same thing. But we couldn’t understand why it was all so difficult when they must have dozens of .com bookings each day. I had given them our name and reservation reference but they still asserted there was any such reservation. Once we were checked in we found Tala Bay relaxing and worth the visit.
