Two nights were booked on points at 9,000 per night at this Category 3 resort when cash rates were over $200 per night, and at check-in the reviewer was told he had been upgraded to a Regency Suite, room 1305, with a large patio overlooking the canals. Sweets and a fruit plate were waiting as welcome gifts, and the minibar soft drinks and water were free. Breakfast was taken in the Regency Club, with a buffet plus an outdoor omelet and pancake station, and suite and club guests also got complimentary access to the Aqua Spa and its quiet canal-style spa pool, which he called one of the best hotel pools he had seen. With outside temperatures over 100 degrees, the motion-sensor air conditioning let the room climb into the 80s while he was out and took hours to cool until maintenance overrode it, the backlit light panel kept the room from ever going fully dark, and some bedside outlets did not work or sparked. He still rated the service top-notch, said Globalists are treated extremely well, and recommended ending a Jordan trip here. His own elite status is not stated in the article itself, so it is recorded as unknown.
