The hotel is generally good. Of course, being a resort, its location is far from the city, in an empty place, but there are some shops and Some cafes and grocery stores offer basic necessities. They are located in the neighbor resort and can be reached on foot or by using the golf carts available for free. As for restaurants, I tried Saffron Restaurant for breakfast. It was very good and varied. I tried the Beach Restaurant for dinner. The place and location are good and nice, close to the sea, but the menu could be more varied than it actually is.

While the resort grounds are well-maintained and the property appears impressive at first glance, my overall experience fell short of expectations for a 5-star resort. Firstly, the location is quite remote far from the city center and without any nearby options for dining or shopping outside the resort itself. This limits flexibility and makes guests entirely dependent on what's available within the property. Another inconvenience was the parking situation. Depending on your room’s building, the walk from the parking lot can be quite long, and the golf cart service which is supposed to assist with transport around the large property is not always available or reliable. Service quality and attention to guest convenience did not reflect the 5-star standard. I was hoping for a more responsive and guest-oriented experience. The breakfast area was another point of disappointment. It was consistently overcrowded, making it difficult to find a comfortable table indoors. The only alternative was to sit outside, which is only pleasant if the weather cooperates. Overall, while the resort has potential, the experience didn't quite meet expectations especially given its rating. Improvements in service, accessibility, and dining logistics would go a long way in enhancing the guest experience.

People were friendly and food was good, but i was disappointed with the condition of rooms as it needs a lot of innovation and there was no source of entertainment inside the hotel.

If you like sleeping with ants on your pillow or wash your face with ants around the sink it is your go to place. Rooms are very dirty and furniture is very old.

Great beaches and dining especially at other parts of the resort (Marina Side). Although hotel aged and was not clean, nor did the staff know how to clean properly. Some staff was very rude didn't even acknowledge my 10 month old, nor did they offer to hold the door open for us when having a baby in our hands.

We booked to stay her for three nights for a long weekend and had overall a great stay. We appeared to be the only British people in the hotel and also the only people without wristbands on some sort of all inclusive package. The room exceeded expectations and we couldn’t fault it. Spacious, spotless, big shower, comfy beds, balcony overlooking the pool. The entire hotel and beach was immaculate and stunning. Our only negatives were: 1. The WiFi was not very strong in most places and we would have expected this to be much better in a five star. It barely worked by the pool/beach and was last even iffy in the room. 2. The hotel did not seem geared up for non-all inclusive residents. There was nowhere to have breakfast if you didn’t want to pay £22 for the buffet each day. We bought an overpriced coffee in the reception of the hotel two mornings. We also went to the beach bar to buy drinks and they said no as we didn’t have a wristband. They literally wouldn’t let us pay and lost out on money here. We walked to the marina most days and ate at The Island Bar where we loved the food and drinks. Overall we had a super lovely stay though. Very relaxing, safe, clean, beautiful and plenty of activities.

The resort is in a very nice location, very spacious and the outdoor is beautiful and well maintained. However, the hotel staff need a lot of training for customer service and communication skills. The towels in the room were faded and some of them had stains.

The staff is amazing they are very helpful and polite. It’s a beach resort but they did not advertise that their beach is closed during offseason because water is unsafe to swim this is information you would like to know when booking a beach resort especially when you pay extra for a beach view. There is an available beach 5 minutes away that the resort provides transportation to. The bar sells alcoholic beverages at set times by Oman law which is inconvenient but not their fault. Room service is the worst I’ve ever experienced it takes over an hour to receive anything, I ordered only beverages and it still took over an hour after calling twice nothing was done about it I was told both times that the items are on the way but no compensation or care by the resort. The resort was half full and both my orders was not at peak times so why the long wait. Lots of construction going on the beach I’m assuming because it’s not peak season. No activities for guest on the resort I stayed 4 days over the weekend and nothing to do or see it was very boring all they could offer was a nightclub off site. Saturday morning a big bike race was happening in Salahah the resort did not warn us that roads are closed even gate exiting the resort is closed we had to drive around off road. They did not provide transportation to airport because they said I have to book 48 hours in advance which I requested a week in advance but no one answer me when I email. Food and drinks are very expensive.

The beach was absolutely "stand out". The food was good to very good. The buildings were well kept and the rooms modern and all facilities were working. The draw backs included the pathways were shared by speeding motorized vehicles, the staff were overly enthusiastic about keeping people in there groups (by all inclusive etc) and, there was extensive building going on next door! Over all worth a visit but beware Canadians,,,, a cheap beer is about $18!!
