No benefits as Gold or Vip Access. Staff very helpful. Parking is managed by valet. Dead sea access is a small portion area and some dificult to arrive. 9 pools , only usable are 5 , others are private. Butler service was good. Breakfast buffet very nice i recommend it. In our case was a family duplex, all was working good. Babilonia style the complex. Rehan restaurant was 4 from 10. They have many options. 1 to 10 y give 6.
