Luxury Hotels in Sowayma

We had an amazing stay! The villa is beautiful, spacious, everything was comfortable, and well-equipped. The pool and outdoor spaces were fantastic for relaxing. The host was very responsive, and made our stay extra special. Highly recommended — we can’t wait to come back!

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.

Great! One of the best hotels ever!

2 departments were outstanding. We are an elderly couple and my wife has some movement difficulties. Rashad and Ra’ad beach attendants were very attentive to my wife’s needs at the mud and beach. They took extremely good care of our well being. The F&B department is extremely important to guests. Led by the very hands on Mr Hussam Abuhana and despite the very busy breakfast and dinner crowds, he and his well trained shorthanded team worked steady and fast. His department was super excellent in both quality tasteful food and attentive service. All performed so well but Siti was particularly outstanding. We must also mention Rafat the housekeeping supervisor and his staff who ensured we have a smoke free room and an adequate amenities supply since we decline cleaning service. We also remember Suliman the buggy driver for his pro-active help.
