Guest reviews for Kempinski Hotel Ishtar Dead Sea

4 out of 5

Chain hotel on a dwindling asset

Pros: The staff are courteous.pleasant and helpful and the villas are excellent
Cons: The food.
Location: There is very little outside You can tour a bit to the North (Jerash)or Madaba and Mount Nebo and the Baptism site by car or taxi but Petra is too far
The accommodation in the sea front villas is excellent and the layout of the patios,gardens,pools is superb but the food does not live up to the infrastructure and there is no real alternative.You can be a captive in the hotel. The Dead Sea experience is the hook and while it is interesting and your skin softens and glistens after a mud bath you can't do it all day and every day and remain sane.On the other hand if you don't do it now who knows how much will be left next year.
