The access is very difficult, you have to pass several points of the army. After having managed to enter, we found the establishment closed. We arrived as indicated at 4 p.m. and had no possibility of drinking or eating until the next morning. The person we had in writing never mentioned to us that we had no possibility of drinking or eating in the establishment, in which we could not go out!! We had to leave and find another establishment To sleep an have.

Very quiet place, perfect to meditate and get attuned with nature and your spiritual side, even if you do not adscribe to any religion. The staff was very kind and helpful, going beyond their duty to make your stay comfortable. The room I was in was very spacious, clean and aesthetically pleasing. The breakfast was varied, plentiful and delicious. If you want a peaceful place to stay at, with a gorgeous view of the sunset, this location is top tier.

The issues I experimented were not because of the residence, but because of the very strict policies of the area, which is close to the border of Jordan. Even with a permit, I wasn't allowed to go outside the Residence's borders. Again, this is not the Residence's fault, but you better keep this in mind if you book it.

It is truly magical

Honestly, I had such a great time there. I wish I could have stayed for a week. The peace and silence were so soothing. The whole place is so magical and it was a truly amazing experience. When you need a break from the business of life, you need to go there. My highlight was swimming in the Jordan river - what an experience :) The manager, Elias, was so helpful and helped me to get around.
