We had such beautiful time at Darna! From very welcoming staff, beachy holiday vibes to the diving and snorkelling equipment and views on the Red Sea.. wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Clean sheets, comfortable bed, basic room with lots of cracks in the walls, leaking taps and sink but nice hot shower.

The hotel is in a great location, across the road from the beach/sea which has a good reef. The food is very nice but not cheap - the prices are the same as those in upmarket restaurants in Aqaba. Our room had air con, a good fridge and comfortable bed.It also had cockroaches. on the first night, we killed one and didn't think much about it. The second night, we were completely

Best hotel in Aqaba.
Posted 12 May 2019 on HotelsOur stay at Darna was better than we expected. It's a great location.. just across the street from the Red Sea. We had big rooms, fridges worked great, beds comfortable, lots of hot water. The pool was wonderful. Lots of chairs and tables to lounge around the pool. Good diving equipment. Staff was pleasant. Breakfast could be better, thats probably the only thing I could say that was a bit disappointing. Otherwise Darna wa great. I would stay there again for sure.

It's fine if you go in knowing what to expect.
Posted 16 Oct 2018 on HotelsThis place isn't bad, but it's just really nothing to write home about. The main thing it has going for it is its location, right across from South Beach and some really good snorkeling spots. For 5jd you can rent a snorkel and fins, which was great. The hotel itself was ok, but not great. The accommodations were clean, but fairly sparse. The Wifi only works in common areas, and it's really weak. The included breakfast was ok and filling. They dramatically overcharge you for things like water, or beverages, which they can do because there's really no store anywhere near the hotel. Although the small stand on the beach across the street sells water for half the price of the hotel, which is a good indicator of how much the hotel raises the price. The food off the menu in the restaurant when I had it wasn't very good, and it too was overpriced. In fact, they raised the price of the menu items in the middle of the 4 nights I was there, which made it worse. When I tried to ask some questions of the folks who worked there, it often felt like I was bothering them. They didn't particularly seem to want to talk to me. It's not a bad place, it's just exactly what you'd expect for the amount of money you're going to pay. If you want a cheap place to go snorkeling, it's great for that. If you wan't much more than that, it's not the place for you. In the end I was happy with it, but my expectations were low and the hotel met those expectations.

Love the place!
Posted 16 May 2017 on Hotels4 days already passed that we arrived back home and we are still in our vacation mood. Were were couple came for scuba dive. I'm dive master my girlfriend also very experience diver and we both had hundreds dives in Sinai and other countries. Never in Jordan yet before this vacation.
We chose this village based on reviews, the location (from the beach) and since it's our first dive experience in Jordan we didn't care a lot about the rest. We needed a bed, a shower and a dive center.
At the end we got much more than we expected.
Across the street from the beach. The village have in-house dive center with all the equipment you can ask for, at fair prices.
The staff was super helpful, friendly and talkative, so you feel part of the family after couple of hours in the place.
Madi, his brother Abed and our super friendly dive guide Ricardo has perfect English.
The restaurant is very good with fresh food and excellent breakfast.
The room was very comfortable, clean, smells good and with AC. The dives was EXCELLENT and the vacation unforgotten.
Thank you Madi and Abed, we would definitely come again and recommend to our friends!
