Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort

Amazing views from the cliff side and a lovely villa. However, a horrendous nickel and dime and evidently dated hotel. We paid £900 per night for the room and the views; and it didn’t disappoint. However £9 for a cappuccino, £7 for a tonic water and £15 for a pint of beer. Just honestly taking the p*ss. Inclusive buffet doesn’t include soft drinks or coffee and they will hit you hard for it…. Really hard. Restaurants were very pleasant service but the food was below average, at least £50 per person, before drinks. The hotel is a family destination with kids everywhere, something to note if you’re NOT a family travelling. Clearly USED to be a first class hotel (why all their awards are 7-8 years old) and now run down and become a cheaper experience of skinning you for everything, which left such a sour taste in our mouths. The Chedi in Muscat was our first hotel and is streaks ahead in service, food, decor and food experience. Worth noting that our expectations were high as we spent a lot of money on the room and are staying at other top hotels in the country during our stay. No doubt the majority will love it.

We stayed at this hotel in April 2024 last year. We wanted to stay again this year but unfortunately couldn't because of the extremely expensive accommodation prices. We got daily passes. We used the pool and kids club. We had lunch at the Italian Bella Vista restaurant, which we were pleased with last year, on 2 different days. The food was great again. Waiter Anıl was very good and attentive. Just 500 Riyals per night for bed and breakfast is definitely too expensive. 600 Riyals per night with taxes is unfortunately not an acceptable price. I hope we can find a more acceptable price like last year. When I criticize the price,I am writing this as someone who has worked in 4 or 5 star brand/chain hotels in Istanbul for 18 years.

Incredible hotel!! One of our favorite stays ever. Everything was perfect - from the beautiful grounds and stunning views, to the extremely kind and hospitable staff, to the cozy and well appointed rooms. My husband and I were visiting from New York and stayed here for 3 nights in a villa with a private plunge pool, which was beautiful. We didn't want our stay to end! The food at every restaurant was delicious, and the coffee was the best we had in Oman. We also did the Via Ferrata experience which is something we'll never forget - special shoutout to Hasan for being an amazing instructor and being so patient with us! There were so many other staff members that stood out like Hassan, Rami, Rai, and Hadi. They were all so kind and helpful with anything you could possibly need. Highly recommend staying at the Anantara if you are planning on visiting Jabal Akhdar!

Such a great stay. We loved every moment of it. Rooms were great, staff and especially Muhammad from breakfast were absolutely a gem, helpful, kind, and always smiling. The hotel also offers great activities and stunning views We would definitely come back and recommend!

What an amazing stop on our trip from Dubai to Abu Dhabi, with lots of smaller places in between. We ended up here to wrap up the trip before heading back to the snow. If you’re ever in this part of the world, this place is a must. The weather here has been the best of all the spots we’ve visited. The views, the photos, and the resort itself are something special. The food, the rooms, the cleanliness—everything was a solid 11 out of 10. The highlight was definitely the ANANTARA spa. The treatment and care from the staff were next level. Big thanks to Simi for getting everything set up, including massages for the whole family—even the kids. And to Raj, who led our healing bowls session and gave me the best massage I’ve ever had anywhere. It was truly rejuvenating. Thank you and your team for the care you put into your work.
