The breakfast was awesome and indeed there was a warm welcoming and goodbye
Location and the stuff, they upgrade my deluxe room to suite :))), I have enjoyed during my stay.
Lacosta Hotel sits in central Aqaba, a short walk from the Corniche and city center shops. Within walking distance are historical sites (Aqaba Fort, Archaeological Museum), diving and snorkeling departure points for the Red Sea, and the modern Ayla Marina area. Longer day-trip options include Wadi Rum desert and Petra, both accessible by car from Aqaba. The location makes the hotel a convenient base for beach relaxation, water sports, cultural sites, and excursions.
A scenic waterfront promenade with beaches, cafes, and views of the Red Sea — perfect for morning walks, swimming, and sunset views.
A small but interesting historic fortress near the waterfront offering insight into Aqaba's past and good photo opportunities.
Compact museum with displays from the region’s rich archaeological heritage, including artifacts from nearby ancient sites.
The Red Sea here is famous for snorkeling and diving — multiple dive shops and boat operators run daily trips to reefs, wrecks and marine reserves.
A modern leisure and dining district with a marina, cafes, and restaurants — great for evening strolls and waterfront dining.
A spectacular protected desert area famed for its dramatic sandstone landscapes, Bedouin camps and jeep/sunset tours. Most visitors do a full-day or overnight trip from Aqaba.
The UNESCO World Heritage archaeological city carved into rose-red rock — a longer day-trip or overnight from Aqaba but one of Jordan’s must-see sites.

Seasonal guide to help you plan the perfect trip to in Aqaba
Fall
Spring and Fall (comfortable temperatures, highest international demand).
Winter (cooler, fewer beach crowds) and mid-summer weekdays outside school holiday periods.
March to May — temperatures warm up from the cooler winter, sea temperatures rise, and inland day trips (Wadi Rum, Petra) are comfortable. Flowers and greenery in some wadis make landscapes attractive.
Aqaba hosts recurring beach and sea-related festivals and evening markets at varying times of year; exact dates shift annually and are often scheduled in spring or fall to take advantage of mild weather.
Various diving events, competitions and themed dive weeks are organized by local dive centers and regional clubs throughout the year — many cluster in spring and fall when conditions are optimal.
Ramadan and the following Eid holidays follow the lunar calendar and move each year; Independence Day (May 25) and other national events lead to public celebrations in cities including Aqaba.
Pop-up food festivals, seafood showcases and artisan markets appear seasonally — typically scheduled to coincide with higher visitor numbers in spring/fall or during holiday weekends.
Aqaba is sunny most of the year. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses; stay hydrated and avoid midday heat for inland excursions. For winter visits pack a light jacket for evenings and a thicker wetsuit for longer dives. Always check daily sea conditions with local dive operators before planning water activities.
Aqaba is Jordan's Red Sea resort and a gateway for diving, beach holidays and southern Jordan excursions. Hotel and tour prices fluctuate with international tourism seasons, Jordanian public holidays, and religious holidays (Ramadan, Eid). Best-value periods are generally the winter low-season (cooler months, fewer beach tourists) and brief lulls outside the peak spring/fall windows. High demand during mild-weather shoulder seasons (Spring and Fall) and local holiday weeks can push rates up; summer sees mixed pricing — domestic tourists and regional visitors can drive up occupancy around school holidays and Eid, but weekday rates may soften. Dive centers and liveaboards often run package pricing year-round but increase prices during peak dive events and holiday weeks.
Insider advice to help you make the most of your visit
Aqaba is accessible by air (Aqaba King Hussein International Airport), land (highway from Amman, ~4–5 hours by car or bus) and overland border crossings. Local transport includes taxis, shared minibuses and rental cars.
Book dive trips and Wadi Rum/Petra day trips in advance for spring and fall; bring reef-safe sunscreen and a lightweight dry bag for boat trips. Consider an open-jaw itinerary (fly into Amman or Aqaba and out of the other) to minimize backtracking and maximize time exploring Jordan’s highlights.
