Bedouin Garden Village, Hotel Dive

Das Bedouin Garden Village liegt ca. 15 Minuten Autofahrt unterhalb von Aqaba, ganz in der Nähe des Berenice Beach Club. Zum Meer und Strand sind es nur 150 Meter. In der näheren Umgebung findet man ein paar weitere Guesthouses mit Restaurants sowie ein Restaurant/einen Imbiss am Strand. Der Strand selbst verfügt zudem über kostenlose Sonnenschirme. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und die Atmosphäre im Garden Village sehr ruhig und relaxed. Das Ambiente bietet viele schattige Plätzchen welche zum Verweilen und Entspannen im Schatten einladen, teilweise aber könnte man die Polster der Bedouinen-Sitzecken mal waschen oder putzen. Es war zwar nicht dreckig, allerdings auch nicht 100% sauber. Im Bedouin Garden Village befindet sich eine Tauchschule mit freundlichem, lustigem aber auch kompetenten Personal und guter Ausrüstung. Die Tauchgänge waren sehr entspannt und dennoch interessant, selbst für erfahrene Taucher. Das Frühstück war leider relativ einfach: es gab Fladenbrot, Frischkäseecken (allerdings lagen diese lange in der Wärme), Marmelade und einen Teller mit Hummus, Ei, Bohnen, etwas Obst und etwas Gemüse. Satt gemacht hat es trotzdem. Die Mittags- und Abendkarte ist leider auch nicht sonderlich umfangreich: es gibt viel Gefrorenes (Fisch, Hamburger, Calamari), ein paar Salate und ein paar Hähnchengerichte. Satt wird man, schlecht schmeckt es nicht, allerdings auch nicht besonders "wow" - angesichts der abgeschiedenen Lage, ist die Auswahl an Restaurants vor Ort allerdings begrenzt. Die Zimmer waren einfach aber dennoch funktional eingerichtet mit Klimaanlage und Kühlschrank. Alles in allem eine tolle Unterkunft um ein paar Tage in ruhiger Umgebung abzuschalten.

We choose it becuse of ok reviews and good price. Owners are very friendly but this js end of good points. Hotel is old and dirty but this was acceptable for this price. In our we had 2 antymosquito lamp even if it smells we went sleap with our kids. During night mlre and more mosquitos was flying in under door probably. It bite ud sl much that 3am we escape from hotel and we will never come back what I advise to all who consider staying there. Single mosquito nets could help but I have no idea why they can’t invest so small amount like 5JD to buy it

We had an amazing time! The dive instructor knows what he is doing. He even calmed one of us under water when a little panick struck. we also got photos and videos for free! Overall a very relaxing experience. Thanks for the insha'Allah

Extremely convenient location for the beach and fantastic snorkling. Accomodation is pretty basic but clean. Had a very tasty burger and chips!

Cozy “backpackers-like” hotel. Very friendly people. You stay close to the beach and all the dive sites in Southern Beach. If You are a diver go and stay here. It is cheap and you will love the people and atmosphere. We’ve got new jordanian friends! Thanks a lot to all of You! See U again!

If you like diving this is the place to go, our Instructor Nebrass was really great and was able to cater for all levels of experience. The location is perfect, right next to all the local dive sites. If you’re coming to Jordan to dive don’t be fooled into staying Aqaba, it’s better to stay here on south beach and have a 5 minute ride to the sites, rather than having to pay twice as much to get a boat. Plenty of reefs and wrecks to explore, in a week we only touched the surface (no pun intended) As Arnold once said.. “I’ll be back”

Best place to stay! Great chill space, swimming pool and super friendly staff that treats you like a family, always ready to help and chat. Nice rooms with colourful walls, good food, nice view on the Read Sea and surroundings. Diving centre at site.

Beautiful place quite and with amaizing local arhitecture next to the public beach (but very clean and with the best coral reef a swiming distance). Clean huge rooms. Pool was big and clean. They offer a breakfast buffet very generous for only 3 jod. The resting areas are so beautiful and diverse. Evening restaurants they cook the best grilled fish I ever had and very good music in the reception area. Very friendly. Rooms with air conditioning. The hotel has a diving team and equipment. I recommend the place.

Cool place to stay, but run down and in need of some care. A lot of people seemingly work there but a lot of rubbish lying around, rooms in need of upkeep and a general sense of neglect. Breakfast was good, we ate one evening meal there and it was the worst we had in our 12 days in Jordan. The dive shop on site was friendly and helpful, people who worked in the place were friendly (the one woman working seemed to do 10 x as much as any of the men). South beach was good for a couple of days - the reef offshore is accessible for kids and protected from the glass bottomed boats by being in a roped off area.
