"My stay at the Kempinski Hotel Ishtar Dead Sea was truly luxurious and memorable. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with great respect. Check-in was smooth, and we were personally escorted to our room with assistance for our luggage, which made for a very welcoming start.
We stayed in what I believe was a Junior Suite, which was incredibly spacious. It featured a huge king bed, a separate sitting area, and even a private outdoor seating area — perfect for relaxing in privacy.
As soon as we arrived, we went straight down to the Dead Sea access area (they close it around 7 pm before it gets dark). Floating in the water and trying out the mud mask was an unforgettable experience. Afterwards, we headed to one of the main central pools. Many pools close earlier, but luckily, this one stayed open until 8 pm, giving us extra time to enjoy the evening.
For dinner, we indulged in one of the largest buffet selections I’ve ever seen. The variety and quality were both excellent, and to top it off, there was a live belly dance show that added to the atmosphere. Breakfast the next morning was also buffet-style and just as smooth and satisfying.
One thing to note: the resort is very large, so there’s a lot of walking and quite a few stairs. This might be challenging for some guests, but it also adds to the feeling of exploring a grand, resort-style property.
Overall, Kempinski Ishtar Dead Sea offers an elegant mix of comfort, dining, and unique experiences right on the shores"
