サザン スター クラブ(Southern Star Club)

The owner is a scammer, don’t trust him on any point.

SCUBA DIVING SCAM! Stayed here a few weeks ago and while the accommodation is adequate (not great), the owner is a fraud. Convinced me to pay for the PADI scuba diving course saying that it would make getting a fully open water course cheaper. He said he would fill out the forms and I should receive an email a few days later, however I never received that email and have contacted him since, but he kept saying he was busy and yet to fill out the forms. If I could give zero stars I would. Should have read the previous reviews (on Google) before agreeing to pay. He also operates cash only, meaning we have no record of payment!

Tout était parfait ! : Nos hôtes adorables, Amer instructeur de plongée bouteille a initié les enfants et les a emmenés dans des endroits magnifiques, petit déjeuner varié et délicieux (oeufs, gaufres, gâteaux, toasts etc). La piscine est énorme et le lieu est très contemporain et bien entretenu...😍👍

The most positive place at the Jordanian sea coast, driven by great people. Clean, comfy and cozy.

Très bon accueuil Piscine extra Emplacement parfait pour plongeur Excellent rapport qualité prix

Nice place to stay to enjoy the beach and diving outside of the city. Better to have a car

We recently spent 5 nights at the Southern Star Club as a family of 4 (children aged 10 and 13). The large, air-conditioned room was simple but clean with small, modern kitchen and bathroom facilities. There are two pools, one for dive training which is 5m deep and another, smaller one for less confident swimmers. The host, Amer was super friendly and helpful. While most people involved in the tourist industry in Jordan see you as a walking A**, Amer was the opposite, offering good advice for inexpensive restaurant options in downtown Aqaba and negotiating a better deal for a snorkelling trip on a boat on our behalf. We'd brought our own dive masks but Amer is a dive instructor with hire kit available and he took our eldest son for a try-dive for a reasonable fee. Amer also arranged a fantastic location for us in Wadi Rum, Salma Camp - I'll write a separate review for that. The location is not far from the beach but the return is all uphill and in the intense heat of Aqaba, and especially with children I wouldn't recommend walking. We had a hire car and drove to different public beaches for snorkelling trips from the shore, all only a 5-10 minute drive away. I'd definitely recommend this location and especially Amer for his friendly hospitality.

Room is suitable for singles not family. Bed mattress are very tough No kitchen, no plates, spoons or anything just boiler Tv channels are only hotbird satellite Bathroom without water spray only bado No place to hand any clothes. Pools are 2 and 5 meters deep which is not suitable for kids.

Pessima esperienza che non consiglierei nemmeno al mio peggior nemico. Alle 13.36 parcheggiamo in questo posto semi desolato, cerchiamo la reception (spoiler: non esiste!) e una signora ci dice che non è l’orario del check-in (h.14.00) . Alle 14.30 ritorniamo dopo aver pranzato e la signora modifica il suo discorso dicendo: “ YOUR ROOM IS HERE” (formula di check in alquanto discutibile) Stanza sporca, bagno decadente, polvere ovunque. La piscina fuori sembra uno stagno, i proprietari ARROGANTI e INCOMPETENTI (può un proprietario di un hotel parlarti senza maglia come se fosse a casa sua?) Non fate il nostro errore e cambiate strada
