We recently spent 5 nights at the Southern Star Club as a family of 4 (children aged 10 and 13). The large, air-conditioned room was simple but clean with small, modern kitchen and bathroom facilities. There are two pools, one for dive training which is 5m deep and another, smaller one for less confident swimmers. The host, Amer was super friendly and helpful. While most people involved in the tourist industry in Jordan see you as a walking ATM, Amer was the opposite, offering good advice for inexpensive restaurant options in downtown Aqaba and negotiating a better deal for a snorkelling trip on a boat on our behalf. We'd brought our own dive masks but Amer is a dive instructor with hire kit available and he took our eldest son for a try-dive for a reasonable fee. Amer also arranged a fantastic location for us in Wadi Rum, Salma Camp - I'll write a separate review for that. The location is not far from the beach but the return is all uphill and in the intense heat of Aqaba, and especially with children I wouldn't recommend walking. We had a hire car and drove to different public beaches for snorkelling trips from the shore, all only a 5-10 minute drive away. I'd definitely recommend this location and especially Amer for his friendly hospitality.
