The resort was astonishing me . The location is so amazing. It’s recommended to spend the holidays there.peace and quiet. The service was good but i really wish if they created a special point for the Arab gulf women more specific areas swimming pool,private beach or gym.

A little late to write a review for this resort, but I couldn’t skip it. My wife and I visited this resort in September 2024, and it was one of our best experiences. Thanks to HSBC, we got a great deal on a two-night staycation in Muscat. From the drive to the resort, the journey itself was remarkable, with us winding through the mountains to reach the property. The resort is divided into different sections, and we had booked the Waha Superior room. The staff were all lovely and welcoming. The rooms were spacious, and we found them very cozy. The room was well-organized and had a stunning balcony with a great view of the pool and the property. Right behind it, we could see the mountains surrounding the resort. The housekeeping crew was very kind and even left us a lovely towel art on the bed. The pool was fantastic. The water temperature was just right, and to add to the fun, they had two enjoyable water slides that were fun for all age groups. Right next to the pool was their lazy river. This was my first time trying one, and as the name suggests, it was the perfect way to relax. We just lay on our inflatable tubes and let the water carry us. We took 2-3 laps around the river. For dining, the resort offers plenty of options. They also allow you to visit their next resort, which is connected by their beach. The restaurants serve a variety of cuisines, including Asian, Arabic, and more. Overall, our stay was simply amazing. We’ve decided to make at least one trip a year to this property to help us unwind and escape the chaos of daily life and work stress. 100% recommended!

The view and swimming in the sea is exceptional but unfortunately the service was not great.. have to wait forever to be served your coffee at breakfast and most of the times after you are done eating. Cleaning service always forget to place either water bottles or coffee sachets and when you order take forever to bring to your room. Cleanliness after they are done with the room suboptimal. Even when we took the electric boat failed to explain fully how to operate it and we almost crashed into the rocks after the boat ran out of charge apparently there is away to re start it which we were never told about and even life jackets half way on our way they remembered and we were brought them to wear half way in the sea. On top of that when told about the safety and regulations the staff argue and became defensive. Even a simple salad I saw a dead warm in it.. no proper apology just was not charged for it. And reserving restaurants at the hotel and even after confirming with them the time we discover none was made saw we had to personally walk into the restaurant to reserve the table. Over all it felt not enough employees and untrained employees in hospitality. My friends had stayed in this hotel several times in the past and they are shocked how the service has declined from previous years. As for me I don’t think I would choose this hotel again unless the service improves dramatically with better trained employees

This was our second stay at the Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah in Muscat, and it was just as magical as we remembered. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, the service and attention to detail were nothing short of perfection. The beautiful surroundings, exceptional food, and high-quality rooms created an idyllic escape, but what truly set this stay apart was the incredible staff who went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable.

My stay at Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the breathtaking surroundings, nestled between stunning mountains and the crystal-clear waters of the Gulf of Oman. The hospitality at this resort is unmatched. The staff were warm, professional, and attentive to every detail, ensuring my stay was seamless and enjoyable. Check-in was smooth, and I was given a detailed overview of the incredible amenities available.
