View of the terrace on the lobby level at the Kempinski Hotel
After the Marriott last time, we decided for the Kempinski Hotel; and what a good choice. We really had a lovely day.
We met up with one of Bibs' friends little M. The girls had a swim together at the one of the hotel's many many pools... I think Bibs stayed in the water for at least 45 minutes. It was nice and with the palm trees there is a little (tiny, tiny bit!) of shade.
Notice the tiny bit of shade!
We then had a lunch at what I would call the main pool, the Akkad Pool Grill. The lunch was nice, the price was a little expensive (2 soft drinks & 2 main courses: JD42). I have to share the picture of my sis-in-law lunch, we thought the presentation was definitely worth a photo!
The presentation is funny! (it's the mixed grill)
After that we went down to the sea - the hotel is very nice to walk around in. Lot's of trees, a nice path - very stroller friendly!
To the left: main pool - which is very, very deep; to the right a view of another of the pools
The beach at the Kempinski is far better than at the Marriott as well as is the access to the sea. I went for a swim... didn't have any magazine with me - but my sis-in-law tried with her "Glamour" magazine and I think it remained dry for about 15 seconds! It is not an easy task to keep the balance...
My sis-in-law reading her very wet magazine!
When we left, we had complementary bottles of water as well as some tissues in the car. I thought that was a very nice touch! Specially, considering the external temperature marked 40 degrees in the car, as we were on our way back to Amman.

Hubby had a job offer from Kempinski's new location in the northern part of Croatia. But he declined the offer. (it was too far from his family) But judging from your pictures, looks like a beautiful hotel!
That's hilarious, your sis-in-law reading her magazine!:)
Hi Angela, Of course it's Ok! I am flattered :) it is really a nice hotel.
Hi Roland! Lucky you. I hope to be able to go back soon as well... and I haven't been to Aqaba yet, looking very much forward to it. But I guess it's getting really hot down there!
Hi Elisa, Kempinski is a very nice hotel chain and the hotels are really nice :) Haha you should have seen my sis in law with that magazine, it was soo funny!!!
