Barasti is one of those places where you need to bring your mood, and atmosphere along with you, it’s kind of a balk canvas that you can paint any which way you want. Good service and easy to get to, everyone in Dubai knows it which makes life simpler especially if you’re from out town. My only comment is that their shot glasses are tiny. All in all a fun place to chill, go crazy and generally have a good time. Read more

The live music, easygoing feel and good food all make it a definite must visit. The cosmopolitan nature of the people and the great design really make you feel that you are in Ireland; they even have a few Irish people on the staff. However, be warned you could face a long wait to find a table, and the service is slow and at times unorganized, in my visit I even got a bit of attitude from the staff. Read more

However, I am going to be honest and say there are more things that i am not too pleased, than I am pleased with. the most important of which is that even though there is a large collection of things to choose from with regards to categories, each category isn’t beefed up enough for it to be impressive, there seems to be very little change on what is present on the shelves, every time I go expecting to find new things to choose from, I am faced with the same titles, be it book, music or PC games!!! So very disappointing! Especially when compared with other Virgin stores I have visited in the region and the world.
But by far the most annoying thing about the place is the location in the mall, It always needs to be a conscious decision to go through the mall experience and always during the week and definitely the earlier the better.
Nonetheless, truth be told, I must give credit to the staff at Virgin, they are always super helpful and even though they have rarely found what I ask for they are always extremely nice, apologetic and try to offer solutions and recommendation, which if I look back at the entire experience is probably the best thing about the place as well as the only reason I still consider it as an option to go back to.

I have been going to the Hyatt for years now, and I have can say that I have stayed in their rooms, I lounged around at the lobby, and terrace, eaten at all their outlets which are considerable for a hotel in Jordan and most of all I have organized several events both at the hotel and Zara expo.
All in all I can confidently say that dealing with the people at the Hyatt id fantastic, it’s one of the few hotels in Amman that I honestly feel that the staff go out of their way to help, support and accommodate,
For locals I would say it’s perfect for a summer drink at the terrace, the Deli’s smoked salmon sandwich is phenomenal, the Le Contro has some of the best Italian food in the city especially the Veal , 30deg north probably has the best seafood in Jordan MMMMMM..
For Internationals I would definitely recommend it, the rooms are great, the beds are some of the most comfortable and oddly enough the colour scheme is very relaxing and calm, I hate staying in hotels that decide to take on a super modern style that for some odd reason always incorporates every colour in the pallet (maybe they should start adding warning of possible epileptic episodes). The location is perfect for people who want to experience downtown Amman as well as the more recent and modern west Amman lifestyle.
The only negative thing about the hotel is the Valet; it takes for ever to get your car back they really need to do something about that. Read more

His manner and demeanour are great, he is one of those doctors that have the ability to keep you calm, explain the problem and giving you the best medical solution whilst still giving you options to choose from, most importantly he’s the man to call in an emergency. Did I forget to mention that he has great sense of humour!

He is one of those doctors that in my opinion still deserves the title. Meaning he is a doctor first and a businessman second, so no unnecessary tests, exams etc… etc… just so you or your health care can dish out the money.

My only two comments is the location of the clinic in Gardens St. not very fun to get to and parking is a drag, the wait in his office is unidentified which can be problematic if your running on a schedule but again he is definitely worth the wait.

Once you’ve dealt with Dr. Zaidoun I assure you no one else will do. Read more

In comparison the other two, who have in my opinion become worse
Their roaming service is seriously unbeatable.... SERIOUSLY!!!
Their prices are the most competitive
Their offerings are just as good if not better than the rest
Their just getting better
But just to be fully objective, i wouldn't expect much from their internet customer care hotline, they seem to be programed to the same response no matter what the problem is. Even though in five years i have only called them something like 4 times. Read more

However, and it pains me to say this every experience I have had with them only makes me want to work with them less.
I have been on both ends of the service, the sending and receiving end of the Aramex experience and I have yet to receive a shipment on time or get it delivered on time… EVER.

Magazines are late, credit cards are late (especially when you need them the most), packages are late, hell even Invitations to events I am supposed to attend are late.

Wouldn’t really recommend their shipping service, even though the people are nice and helpful but i guess when you get that many compalaints i guess you have to make up for it with a good attitude.

Still haven’t tried their shop and ship, but from what I hear it is supposed to be much better. I really hope so Read more

Anyone who has ever been in a bind will automatically love Snax… and the name says it all, it really is a snack… its small, convenient and you get exactly what you want out of it... and it’s a definite life savour for those strange things that you need at 3, 4, 5 o’clock in the morning, cravings, essentials or just plain old goofing around.

I am always pleasantly surprised by the options and brands that they have, and I love the fact that it has been around for years. However it a bit pricy, but worth the visit you never know what you’re going to find. Read more

However, I must say that I enjoy shopping there, lots of choices, a spacious environment to maneuver in, and very organized with regard to stacking of shelves, visibility of items etc… but I can’t help thinking that Cozmo have a master plan hidden somewhere because I can never seem to find the same thing twice in the same place! The more exotic and/or different the item the more they keep changing its place, funny though because at face value it appears that everything is the same but not really!! It’s always an interesting expedition at cozmo.

But truth be told, I enjoy shopping there so much so that I actually haven’t gone to check out the competition yet. The staff are very nice, the way everything is setup is inviting. The meat, poultry and seafood section is clean and fresh and the guys there are very accommodating. The Bakery always kicks off your shopping experience on a good note (nothing like the smell of fresh bread), And an absolute hats off to the person cleaning the shopping cart handles when you firs enter, always makes you feel everything is that much cleaner.

The best of all is that they are one of the very few places that cater to us people who enjoy good pork meat, whether it’s Ham, salami, prosciutto or just good old tasty pork sausages.

My only two concerns are it’s noticeably more expensive than the market, and the Cozmo card is something that I have actually never felt any value from carrying. Read more
