Reviews and Ratings
I had a truly luxurious experience at this hotel. The room was spacious and looked more like a five-star room than a three-star one, with a lovely view of the ocean, two big TVs, a huge shower room, a bath, and just an overall wonderful ambiance. The service was very poor, not friendly, and they had no intention of helping us with our luggage. However, the location was excellent, being right next to the seaside beach with wonderful facilities for relaxation. The dining experience was a bit of a disappointment, but the succulent steaks were a saving grace.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and clean but had poor soundproofing with an interconnecting door, allowing noise from next door to filter through. However, the bathroom had flies and a residual smoky smell. The service was slow and unfriendly, with a lack of guidance during our check-in. On a positive note, the location offered a nice view of the beach, although not exactly as advertised. The dining experience left much to be desired, with limited options and uncooperative staff. The facilities were average, with room for improvement in various areas.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and looked more upscale than expected, but unfortunately, they had a lingering smell of smoke. The service was lacking due to renovations and understaffing, with minimal attention paid to guest needs. The location was nice, particularly for beach enthusiasts, but overall, the hotel fell short in several areas.
The hotel had large, clean, and very comfortable rooms, but there was plenty of humidity with water on the wall and floor. The service was friendly and accommodating, but there were some disturbances during sleep. The location was wonderful, right next to the beach with a breathtaking view. The dining experience was okay but had limited choices. Overall, a good value for money stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of experiences. The rooms weren't exactly what we expected, and we had an issue with a fire alarm on the final night due to other guests smoking in their rooms, which the staff didn't handle as well as I would have liked. On the bright side, the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, and the rooms themselves were large, clean, and very comfortable in every way. The bed was spacious and provided a comfortable sleep.
My stay at the hotel was not what I expected. The rooms were a long way from the entrance, felt cold, and didn't meet my expectations, especially when considering the price compared to a 4-star hotel with better internet connection. However, the location near the beach was excellent and very comfortable for relaxation.
The hotel rooms were large, clean, and very comfortable in every way, but they were a bit cold and did not fully meet my expectations, especially considering the price compared to a 4-star hotel with attached doors to other rooms. The service, while great and very helpful, did have a small inconvenience with the card for the room. The location was very good and comfortable, with easy access to a beautiful beach, but there was a slight issue with a late-night payment reminder. The dining experience was a bit limited, especially for vegetarians, but the food was tasty with a nice selection. The facilities were well-kept and offered a satisfying experience.
The hotel had some issues with the rooms as they were dark at night, lacking proper lighting, and not as nice as expected. There was a disturbance caused by other guests smoking in their room, triggering a fire alarm, and the staff didn't handle the situation well.
I found the hotel to be not meeting my expectations for the price and compared it more to a 4-star hotel. The room was clean but so cold, and the internet connection was not up to par. The service was sluggish, and the staff never seemed eager to assist with luggage or room card issues. On the bright side, the staff was always friendly. The location was perfect but lacked any special charm. The dining options were limited, especially for vegetarians, although during fasting, they offered traditional Omani food. The hotel facilities were good, but nothing extraordinary.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were really spacious and comfortable, but there was plenty of humidity with water on the walls and floor. It was what we booked finally, except the terrace doors were locked, which was a bit annoying. The hotel is a long way from the entrance, so it was a bit inconvenient in that aspect.
The hotel is located far out of the way, but the spacious and clean rooms offer a big and comfortable bed for a good night's sleep. The service was a bit indifferent and not very cooperative, despite granting some requests in advance. The location, styled after an Omani fort, provides a nice view and open beach area; however, there were issues with late-night payment requests. The dining experience, especially during fasting, lacked variety although the classic fried fish was good. The facilities seemed to fall short. Overall, a mixed experience with certain positives and negatives.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and the service was excellent with staff always willing to help. The location was convenient, although a bit noisy at times. The dining experience was lacking variety and could be improved. Overall, it was a good value for the price paid.
The hotel had some issues with humidity in the rooms, old towels, and uncomfortable noises during the night, but it fell short in meeting luxury standards. The good side was the location near the sea and beach with access to nice views.
The hotel's location is perfect, being close to the beach and offering a large warm pool for relaxation. However, the rooms were not as expected and there was a discomforting fire alarm incident caused by other guests smoking at night. The service was lacking friendliness but excellent in other aspects.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although newly built, were a long way from the entrance and not as clean as expected. On the bright side, the room service was excellent. The service was a bit sluggish, with no help offered for luggage, but the staff were friendly overall. The location was special with a nice beach view, perfect for relaxation, although a bit messy near the mess hall. The dining options were limited, especially for vegetarians, but there were choices of international cuisine. The facilities were good, with room for improvement.
