Four-Star Hotels in Sowayma

I so wish we had booked to stay for 2 nights instead of 1. This guesthouse is in a restricted area, due to its proximity to the Palestine border. On arrival, go to the Visitor Centre and speak to the Police. They will issue you with a pass that enables you to pass the checkpoint and drive down to the guest house. Due to border patrols, you are not allowed to access the River Jordan at night. There is ample parking and, currently, the whole area is very quiet. (However, the Catholics are building on the adjacent plot, so this might increase the number of tourists.) There were only half a dozen other people staying when we were there, so we almost had the residence to ourselves. Our room has comfortable twin beds and was utterly quiet. We hadn't realised how far the guest house was from the nearest town and how difficult it was to access the site, so we didn't know where to get dinner. The cooks prepared food for the staff and they kindly provided extra, so that we were able to eat. The absolute highlight for me was sitting on the terrace, watching the sun set over Palestine. It really was rather special and I didn't want to go in to bed.

The beach attached to the hotel was very convenient. Diana from reception was nice and welcoming!

What I’ve liked is the location of the hotel, and the staff and value for money with a great pool. The hotel offers some nice arts that can be seen across the entire hotel.

Great pool area and big rooms. Dead Sea beach is right out front of the hotel. Room service was good price and tasty.

The host & caretaker were super helpful on arrival. Everything was clean. The apartment exceeded expectations. We wanted to stay longer. The public beach is about a 15-20 minute walk from the property. We had a spacious kitchen living space & bedroom with washing machine/ oven. The fuse blew on one side of the apartment & the caretaker came right away to resolve the problem. Anything we needed like extra toiletries and a cooking pan they brought it over within minutes. The host was helpful with instructions on how to get to the apartment with details on good apps to use in the vicinity. Super hospitable and comfortable place. We wished we could've stayed longer but someone else already beat us to it. I hope they also have a lovely stay.

It was super well constracted, with 4 level the hotel and beautiful view from the spacious hotel room.
