  The hotel is located on the South Beach, about 20km from Aqaba so you will need to take a taxi if you aren't driving. Expect to pay no more than 10JD for a taxi. The hotel has a pool and is a stone's throw from the beach. It's great for snorkeling and I was able to rent all the equipment for 15JD. There is a dinner menu at the hotel and breakfast was included. The room (twin, ensuite) was relatively quiet and peaceful although the shower wasn't hot.

  it's a good place but it's not clean, that's why I hated it, when I came back from outside I spent the night cleaning my room because I found cockroaches all over the room, it might be from the bathroom, I don't know!
  the staff were very cool and kind. They only should take more care of cleanliness and fixing the furniture or renew it, then it'll an amazing place.

  Great place to crash. Nice view, decent rooms. Very good vibes there. Perfect chill location. Found the place last minute, very good price. The diving instructor Ricardo made my 1st scuba dive an amazing time!!

  The pool was not available for two days and the manager has no communication skills at all.

  Really friendly and helpful staff. Great value for money, right next to the south beach (out of the city but a nice quiet location). Direct acess to the coral reef for snorkling and scuba diving. The room was basic but clean with working air con. There is a great view of the sunset from the terrace.
  
  The hotel has its own dive centre and dive sites are within walking distance (you can walk with full scuba gear for a shore dive). The dive instructor was very friendly
  
  Be aware this hotel is 12 km from Aqaba with a limited and basic menu-therfore if you dont have a car you will have to take taxis into town for better food options.

  En primera línea de playa junto a otros 3 hoteles parecidos, a unos 10kms de Aqaba y frente a los bellos arrecifes de coral.
  Las habitaciones son sencillas con aire acondicionado con bomba de calor.
  Las zonas comunes están bastante bien, con piscina, varias terrazas y un salón moruno al aire libre.
  El hummus y el té fue de los mejores que probé en Jordania. Y el pescado a la plancha un delicioso cambio.
  Nos salió a 17JOD por persona con media pensión con pescado y 15JOD con pollo.

  Jordan in general was like a warm bath. Very friendly and hospitable people. It takes merely one nice word to get a warm welcome and a big smile back. Taxi drivers apologizing for offering us a ride while we had a rental car, snackbar cashiers giving us free bottles of water because we gave a small tip, coffee on the house because we said something how splendid our Jordan experience had been so far. Also, what struck me very often is that besides being very friendly and hospitable, Jordan's have a very nice sense of humor. We had quit some laughs and fooling around with a lot of people. In order to get a friendly face it only takes being respectful and friendly yourself.
  Darna Village staff was no exception with regards to this all. We did not stay in the hotel itself, but we had dinner in the restaurant a couple of times. The food was delicious and the brothers who run the hotel took a lot of time to make sure we were comfortable and satisfied. We went on a dive tour with our family of five as well. We all enjoyed it very much, including our youngest of 11. They took us to a nearby spot. You simply walk into the water and in no time you are surrounded by a most fantastic scenery with colorful tropical fish and coral. The hotel itself is next to the beach. The coral reef is just a footstep into the water. The beach is nice and the water calm and warm. We had a rental car. Great to drive to Aqaba, Petra and Wadi Rum. Aqaba is merely a 10-15 minute drive. Petra was something like 2 hours drive and Wadi Rum 1 hour.
