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Disappointed and not worth the money - the resort is really outdated and needs some serious love.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.

Clean hotel with great pools
Check in 4pm! Check out 12pm, no exceptions. Our flight from Amman arrived 8am, only flight every day. Had nowhere to go all day. Foyer crowded with other waiting guests. Cannot leave as town is nearly 30m away, there is nothin but desert in the surrounding area and taxi’s in the area are scarce and very expensive. Taxi from the airport was approximately $52 Australian dollars. Resort should provide a service and ‘day use’ area due to the locked in flights. On our departure (12.30am, again the only flight) we got the free shuttle into town, (fills very fast). Had to wait 3h before catching taxi to airport. Hotel was lovely, clean and well appointed. As most hotels, we could not get a sun lounge at the two beautiful pools. Towels securing chairs all day with no guests in sight. The air con in our room would not work initially, then the tv did not work at all. Problem was called through to reception without anyone attending that day. Tv was fixed 20m before we checked out. At least it will work for the next guest. Best thing was the bed was really comfortable!
