There is not one thing I can say I did not like about this hotel. The location is amazing, spectacular views of the sea. The staff are the best I’ve ever experienced and cannot do enough to enhance your stay. Nothing is too difficult , they are super efficient, friendly, knowledgeable and kind. The rooms are lovely and spotlessly cleaned each day. Had the pleasure of meeting Nick the manager who is around the hotel checking on guests and happy to chat. The breakfast is an absolute pleasure with the views from the breakfast room making a wonderful start to your day. Loved the pool, the private beach and wandering over to the sister hotel for water sports and dinning . We will definitely be revisiting this amazing hotel.

The hotel is fantastic.
rooms are very clean and with great view, location is like paradise and the best point is that its adults only so you have a great place to relax.
the services are complete as it should be and there is big range of food kinds which served by several restaurants on site. the staff is very kind and we get great hospitality from their manager.
even the costs are high on this hotel but if you chose them, you will not be regrated.

If you are visiting Oman and want to give yourself a memorable experience, this is the place.
There is something magical about the location and the architecture of the hotel and the fact that spaces are so big, makes everything even more special. You will be welcomed by smiling staff, a wonderful scent of frankincense, dates and Omani coffee.
My favorite spot was the swimming pool but also the Italian restaurant (Tuscan, to be precise) is lovely with an incredible terrace right on the beach.
There is not much to do at night and there are hiccups here and there, but the whole atmosphere is delightful and I can recommend it to all. No kids allowed.

While many reviews highlight how great this hotel is, it's something you really have to experience for yourself. My partner and I stayed here for our anniversary and had a wonderful time. The attention to detail throughout our stay was impressive, and the hospitality made us feel truly welcome. We’re already planning to come back for future anniversaries. Thanks to everyone for making it such a memorable trip!

My husband and I had a fantastic experience at the hotel. From the arrival staff to the hospitality team, housekeeping, pool attendants, lifeguards, and restaurant staff, everyone was welcoming, friendly, and extremely attentive.
The amenities were superb and exceeded our expectations.
The pool area was particularly delightful with an infinity pool Looking out to the Gulf sea.
The chef at breakfast was accommodating, catering to our needs even when they weren't on the menu.
The private beach was a bonus , it’s quiet and secluded, the beach help were extremely helpful- the hotel also offer a cool box at the beach was an added bonus we didn't expect.
While the hotel is a bit far from the city, requiring preparation for taxi fares, there is a shuttle service to the souk and the mall. However, for other destinations, be prepared to pay for taxis. British travellers should note that the exchange rate is currently weak, making expenses higher.
It's important to note that there are no prayer facilities on the premises. Muslim guests should plan where to pray their Jumma prayers. However, the addition of a small mosque in the future would make this hotel perfect.
Overall, it's a hotel you won't regret staying at. It beautifully showcases its artistic heritage and Omani hospitality, making it a fantastic place to stay.
