Great hotel. Very clean room. Can’t praise the staff enough. Very responsive and courteous staff. Great location right on the Dead Sea. Wonderful views, beautiful sunsets. Gulf carts readily available to take one around the property which is quite large. Also enjoyed the spa, felt very pampered. Overall, wonderful stay. Highly recommend.
Amazing hotel with super friendly staff. You have everything you need at the hotel you don’t need to go out of the hotel. The Lebanese restaurant is a must try.
Staying here was the highlight of our tour of Jordan when it came to the accommodation and people.
The property is amazing, highly well kept and the staff extremely helpful and engaging and couldn’t do more to help make sure you had a fantastic time.
We stayed in one of the panaromic rooms by Resense, within the Spa area. Huge room and beautiful views from our private terrace. Highly recommend this option as it also gives you full access to the wonderful spa facilities too!
Special mention has to be made to the “Lady in Red” team of Era and Ivan. Such incredibly energetic and helpful humans. Likewise Alla the Front Desk manager who from the moment we arrived to when we left was so helpful with our room and suggestions of places to visit. All 3 are a great valuable asset to the hotel and brand.
Thank you for making my birthday trip so extra special.
Of course there was the delicious food, beautiful infinity pool and private beach future mud experience!
Highly recommend staying here.

If you want amazing infinity pools overlooking the Dead Sea this is the place. Upmarket hotel with grassy good options and direct access to the Dead Sea. Where they massage you and apply the mud. Brilliant experience
We had an amazing stay at Kempinski and it is the best hotel to enjoy views of the Dead Sea!
Stylish rooms, great restaurants and the staff were fabulous.
Just left the Kempinski Dead Sea. It was a lovely stay. It’s a resort and it does everything a resort should. Customer service was terrific. Very attentive. The area to swim in the Dead Sea was well taken care of and the staff always ready to give you a towel or help put your mud on. The spa was wonderful. An’am was so welcoming and attentive to our needs. The Dead Sea pool was amazing. We bought the half board and were happy with the massive selection of food at breakfast and dinner. Ivan was there every morning to check on everyone and ask if there was anything we needed. There is a huge construction project next door which sometimes ruins the serenity of the place.
A fabulous 5 star hotel but service challenges over the Jordan weekend (Friday & Saturday) when the local population descends on the Dead Sea resorts.
This is a large property, spread over several levels and so quite a bit of walking or use of the hotel’s golf carts. The restaurants are excellent and the staff are very friendly.
There are several pool options, all of which are worth trying out.
We had an amazing time at the Dea Sea. It was a fab hotel. Lovely breakfast. Pools fab. Attendants at the Dead Sea were super helpful and really nice. All in all a great experience.
Fantastic resort setting on the Dead Sea with staff available to assist around every corner of this expansive property. Front Desk, Concierge, Room staff, pool attendants and dining room staff were uniformly excellent. We wish we could have stayed longer.
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 facilities were excellent especially the choice of pools and the facilities at the Dead Sea. The room was clean, comfortable and large. The staff were friendly and helpful. I hope to return again in the future for a longer stay!
There is a lot to like about the hotel, particularly its location on the Dead Sea. The things I enjoyed as well as the hotels setting, were the overall ambiance of the common parts - the large reception areas and associated seating area and the huge display of flowers, sculpture and comfortable seating. The infinity swimming pool which was beautiful if a little warm for me. The staff members I spoke to were all helpful and one or two who I got chatting to were absolutely charming. I liked how well the bathing area was set up at the Dead Sea which allowed you to really enjoy this novel experience and then have a nice shower afterwards.
The things I did not like so much was firstly, and importantly, my room which was in the main block. I did not like the design of the room, the finishes, the artwork, the lighting, the strange design of the balcony ( albeit had an amazing view) or the grey finishes in the bathroom and a poor shower.
The other thing I did not like is how far away from everything the rooms in the main block are. The hotel is large on multiple levels and you have to walk a fair distance using a number of lifts and staircases to get to the facilities - if you are older like (like me!) This is tiresome. I understand that there is a buggy service but it would be easier to stay in one of the apartments which are away from the main building and close to beach, main pools and restaurant.
I would definitely come back and stay at this hotel but only in a different room
