We had a wonderful time when we stayed here. We booked the two room family suite which was spacious and comfortable, perfect for our family of four, and made us all feel right at home. We loved the gardens, beach and pool, perfect for relaxing in the sun. The service throughout the hotel was fantastic and made our stay truly stress-free. The only letdown was the restaurant reservation system. Twice, our reservations couldn't be found when we arrived, which led to some frustrating moments and waiting around—especially tough when traveling with hungry teenagers! Thankfully, the restaurant staff did their best to sort things out and still made us feel welcome. Aside from that minor issue, our family had a fantastic time at Al-Bustan and would happily stay there again.

We were upgraded to a fabulous 2 bed suite. The staff are amazing, so helpful. The restaurants produce high quality food. We’ve stayed in this hotel before and it is consistently a high quality experience. The downsides are low water pressure which meant showering takes a long time and the condition of the beach, lots of plastic debris and there was an algae bloom during our trip, completely out of anyone’s control of course, but the beach should be cleaned daily. The hotel should focus more on reducing the use of single use plastic water bottles, they use 1000’s a day and there are better, more cost effective options. . Oman is expensive to visit so travellers should be aware of the costs involved when planning their trip. We used to live here so were prepared.
