The room was absolutely beautiful and very modern. It felt like home. I've done Hiltons and Kempinskis for double the price of Luxotel and yet I liked the Luxotel room more than the others. The staff is always there to respond to your wishes and takes care of you. The price of the restaurant is reasonable and the food is of excellent quality.
The only negative point I found was the lack of insulation of the bedroom door. The wind got in, as did the noise of people in the hallway.
Everything was fine, but I faced a problem with the lack of availability. For example, I contacted the receptionist in the morning and asked for the room to be cleaned and for my shoes to be changed (the room was cleaned, but the shoes were not provided). In the evening, I asked for the shoes to be provided, and the receptionist replied, ”Immediately,” but my request was not met.
First, I’ll note the advantages, of which there are many:
- cool atmosphere around and in the evening (the unique flavor of Arab culture is created by the dabka dance, which is danced by top managers of the hotel together with male visitors immediately after dinner)
- cozy courtyard
- the dome room has everything you need to take a shower and relax.
- we were fed several times for free (access to the restaurant buffet)
- interesting food (but the choice is quite modest)
Minuses:
- it’s very hot in the dome during the day (air conditioning will not improve the situation), but we were offered to wait in another tent room, for which thanks to the hotel managers.
- synthetic bedding and blankets
- there is no lunch, so if you want to eat you need to take something in reserve (the camp only has breakfast and dinner)
Overall, a cool place.

We really enjoyed our stay at UFO Luxotel. One thing to note is that the hotel is not within the Wadi Rum protected area, so it is about 5 minutes drive to the main gate. The hotel does have some partnership with the local bedouins who can take you on a desert or camel tour, but it is better to liaise with the local bedouin on your own. The bubble tents are really nice, made of plastic, comes with a standing shower, washbasin and a comfortable bed. There is air conditioning inside the tent. Outside the tent, there is a hammock and some chairs. At night, the weather in the desert can get quite cold so we enjoyed the special fur blanket provided in the room. There was a stargazing photography course but we did not sign up for it. The food was absolutely delicious, from the dinner with local dishes and underground baked lamb, to the breakfast buffet. Since our tent was quite far from the entrance, there was a buggy to send us to our room. But on the day of the checkout, after calling reception, the buggy took a bit longer than expected. Overall we enjoyed our stay in the desert in these luxury tents, and the price was affordable.

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Alena in Aqaba. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly kind and helpful. They allowed us to check in early and even upgraded us to a more spacious room, which was a lovely surprise!
The hotel’s location is perfect—everything is within walking distance, including restaurants, shops, and the city’s main attractions. The cleanliness, comfort, and exceptional service made our stay truly enjoyable. We highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here again on our next visit to Aqaba!
Good hotel, check in and check out fast and without complications, the room is not very luxury but what is paid is agreed, only the facilities are seen a little old but still tolerable
The location is nice, 15 minutes away from the center in car
With a private clean beach
The staff was great
The rooms are cleaned everyday
This is not the first time I go there
It is a really nice place, I highly recommend it
No-nonsense, no-frills, a practical hotel. Good location, was given a room with the window to the walled rooftop so that was not so great, but clean and comfy enough and helpful reception.
I stayed for 1 night and was a joy. Beautiful view from the rooftop pool area overlooking the red sea and the most perfect sunset.
Enjoyed a very comfy night sleep. The receptionist staff was very nice.
Very Good

GGuest UserGood value hotel in Jordan
I have stayed in 5 hotels during 11 days of trip in Jordan. This is the best one !⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
All of the staffs are so friendly and nice. The restaurant staff is helpful and considerate . On the second day morning, she remembered my breakfast preference 😨, even the details.
There’s an Italian restaurant right near the hotel. You can enjoy discount yet there were cakes,drinks and shisha.
The room is so comfortable and new. I love the design. The night view is so lovely and magnificent. The amenity are good , it’s way better than Movenpick hotel. This hotel offers Dead Sea products for the guests. You can have free drinks from the fridge as well.
