We were upgraded to a fabulous 2 bed suite. The staff are amazing, so helpful. The restaurants produce high quality food. We’ve stayed in this hotel before and it is consistently a high quality experience. The downsides are low water pressure which meant showering takes a long time and the condition of the beach, lots of plastic debris and there was an algae bloom during our trip, completely out of anyone’s control of course, but the beach should be cleaned daily. The hotel should focus more on reducing the use of single use plastic water bottles, they use 1000’s a day and there are better, more cost effective options. . Oman is expensive to visit so travellers should be aware of the costs involved when planning their trip. We used to live here so were prepared.

We enjoyed our time here but had a few issues. The good: First off, the hotel and grounds are stunning. Truly it’s out of a movie! The lobby is really breathtaking. The rooms were very clean and housekeeping was great. They provided a lot of bottled water which is so appreciated. The breakfast buffet was just fine-typical buffet in this area and the place you eat is beautiful. The pool bar had good food. Our issues were with the high cost of food and an event that led to having to make a noise complaint. It’s an RC hotel, so the price was perhaps to be expected but everything is SO high. And the night we stayed, a wedding began at 3 and blasted music right by our room until 10. Management did offer some compensation, which we appreciate, but only after complaining. Not sure what the other guests who also were paying hundreds a night did. The staff was pleasant but not friendly. Overall, I would recommend but maybe just one night to experience it.

The hotel itself is incredible, the lobby is amazing and the amenities are brilliant. We were lucky enough to get upgraded at check in so our room was perfect as we had instant access to the pool. The staff was brilliant as well and it’s a brilliant place to stay if you plan on relaxing at the beach and just swimming. However, there’s nothing around the area in the hotel. You can’t walk anywhere as the hotel is in a secluded place and trying to get a taxi is difficult especially during the evening. If you’re not a fan of the food in the restaurants at the hotel, you’re only option is to order food in.

Reception staff were helpful. Signage was poor. Service at breakfast was poor. When I asked for service I was told to go to the chef as it would be easier which I thought was rude. Room wasn’t cleaned until the afternoon. Appreciated request for early check in. The steps in the lobby are a hazard. May consider a hand rail to alert guests that there are steps they need to navigate.
