Ma'in Hot Springs — Attraction in Madaba

Amazing Experience

We stayed for a day at the hotel at Ma’in Hot Springs, this was my first stay at a Hot Springs hotel so I meant to enjoy it to the fullest. The hotel is located at 200 meters below sea level surrounded by hot waterfalls making the average temperature here higher than rest of the region, in the month of March the temperature was pleasant and the views and landscaping around the hotel are beautiful.

A guest can try the springs at three spots, the Hotel’s Pool, the Spa’s Pool & the Public Waterfall right outside the Hotel’s Gate, all three experiences have its own waterfall feeding the pools, each of them is great and had its own positives.

At Spa you need to take up a spa service to use their pool (80 JD minimum if I remember correctly) it is the most beautiful, least crowded and the most expensive of the three options, the time we were here only six of us in total were in the poll. Also, the massage I received here was among the best I have had.

The Hotel Pool is always crowded, we went twice ones in the morning and ones in the evening, both times there were about thirty people around the poll and another twenty in it. While it’s beautiful it does seem too crowded. We needed to wait for over 20 minutes just to secure ourselves towels. Also, their steam room was stinking and still a favorite with the crowds. Around noon it did feel good as there were only ten of us in the pool.

The Public Waterfall was super crowded when we were entering the Ma’in hotel, looking at the number of people and cars on the road we didn’t even bother to try them. Around midnight a hotel staff prompted me to go for it as crowds would have left. I took the 10 minutes’ walk to it and was thrilled to find the place all to myself. It’s made in style of a Roman bath with the biggest/longest waterfall of the three. This made my experience here the best and one of the highlights of the trip.

During our stay there were limited eating options at the Hotel, one of their restaurants was closed and only opens during summers and another one near the falls was booked for a private event. That left us three options, the Bar (al la carte meals), the Buffet restaurant and the Poll side café with its limited menu. We took our Lunch & Dinner at their Bar, the food was mediocre but no fault of theirs as we ordered out of the menu and they did give it their best try. We were disappointed with their Hooka/Shisha service as it didn’t get prepared for an hour (the guy who does it was missing, my guess he was at the private dinner event), complaining to the serving staff didn’t help much but when we took it a level higher immediate action was taken and we were treated like VIP due to lapse in their service. The next morning’s breakfast buffet, extra care was given in service and we had one of the best breakfast meals of our life.

I left the property totally satisfied, well pampered and rested. Special thanks to Mr.Basim & Mr.Nidall from the catering team for...

Ma'in Hot Springs, is a beautiful destination to choose for a honeymoon, or renewing your vows, a special vacation or celebration get-away. The road is a bit tricky, so go slowly and travel during the day. Enjoy the drive to Ma'in, it's beautifully situated in the Dead Sea area. The staff are extremely friendly and have been trained to recognize guests from day one and make you feel at home. The management of this hotel are very pleasant, and were by our side within seconds when we had a minor accident, they kept coming and going ensuring we are ok, and we had to convince them that there is no need for medical attention. But they were great, their kindness and care was very professional and compassionate. I recommend going to Ma'in during months which are not too hot, but also not cold, so you can enjoy the outdoors. But also not too hot, to enjoy the rest of the places in the Dead Sea area. If you are a shishah person, they make the best shishah out on the big terrace off the main restaurant. They do serve Zarb but there are special times for that, so if you are in the mood to eat it, please make sure to inquire about it. Also, due to its location being 260 meters below sea level makes internet reception and telephone coverage a bit tricky, which is fine, that is the purpose of a get-away or a honeymoon, you need to be away from the entire world and just relax. their breakfast buffet has so many options, I suggest you take advantage of it, but also take advantage of all their buffets, everything they serve is extremely delicious and the view while enjoying your meal is ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING!!! I not only recommend this resort, I'm telling you, if you don't visit you would have missed a lot, this place should be on your bucket list, but listed...

AVOID DO NOT COME!! Thermal spring above the Dead Sea in Hammamat Ma'in whose waters are maybe rich in minerals & could offer a series of fabulous benefits: BUT DO NOT COME! AVOID! WARNING!! I came here for the Hot Springs Spa and things don't work. It could be Good structure but poorly managed, disgusting DIRTY, BOTTLES & THRASH everywhere. On my arrival the room was not ready and at check in they did not find the reservation. we arrived at 3.15pm and they only gave us the room at 4.30pm. We had booked 2 massages for two consecutive days, one at 5pm but the SPA could not find the reservations. luckily we booked a new reservation at the SPA at 17, But separately with my husband moved to 18:30, and the subsequent massages on the day after moved from 17 to 15pm, therefore forced to change our travel itinerary, DIRTY waterfall and the DIRTY pool of the SPA were dirty, Good buffet dinner with plenty of choice. but they stressed us out by constantly asking +5 times for our room number. good breakfast, lots of variety. the price of the buffet for 2 people 50 JOD, they charge 10 JOD a red wine glass. NO RECEIPT!!! THEY PROBABLY RIPP OFF CASH!!! one hour of massage 90/100 JOD. The hotel has a SPA (separate from the hotel) and they were kind but the whole structure is not clean, in the hotel itself it is dirty and there is little attentive staff at the reception. 2 + 2 massages 450 € and non-functioning waterfall in the private spa are not acceptable. The Hotel Basically bring money from visitors because entrance is 15JOD and clients who sleep and overnight are not pleased to stay there overcrowded, forced to go at Waterfall from 6 to 9am, when is not open to public?? ! BOTTLES, SIGARETTES EVERYWHERE!! DIRTY! DISGUSTING,...
