We had an amazing stay at the Kempinski Ishtar. The staff were all very kind and welcoming, and the concierge was especially friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious, and there was great entertainment in the evenings that made the nights even better. Our room was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and everything felt well taken care of. Overall, it was well worth it and we’d be happy to return.

The breakfast and dinner buffet was excellent. Our son has allergies, the chef Sinan came personally and went through the whole buffet with us. He cooked especially for our son. High praise indeed. We can only recommend the hotel for its friendliness, helpfulness and excellent service. Keep up the good work!

Our stay at the Kempinski Dead Sea was truly wonderful, and while the property is beautiful and luxurious, it was the amazing staff that made the experience exceptional. Every team member we encountered was warm, attentive, and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Their genuine hospitality and thoughtful service truly set this hotel apart. The views, food, and facilities were all excellent—but it’s the people that make Kempinski unforgettable. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return!

The Kempinski Ishtar is superb! We had a fabulous stay. Shout out to Omar (Night Manager) and Ivan (Ishtar Restaurant Manager) who went above and beyond - that’s saying a lot given the customer service levels exhibited by all Kempinski staff. Facilities, pools and restaurants were 5 star - food was delicious, especially the Rehan restaurant. Can’t wait to come back and explore more of Jordan. shukran maratan 'ukhraa wa'atyab altamaniyat
