Excellent level of service and attention to detail. It was a luxury having the lounge included in our stay and we enjoyed the wonderful hospitality and service throughout the whole hotel. Chef Austin from Scotland was a gem! And all of the team. Pools were great, spa could do with a facelift but other than that a wonderful family holiday in a great hotel that we would recommend and definitely stay in again. Thank you all.

This IG hotel is a family resort style place in a quiet part of the Muscat city beach zone. There are large hotel grounds with pools and a gym all lacking any type of useful directions. The hotel has placed a large surcharge on local taxi rides and there is no local bus service so transport around the city is expensive. The main problem with this hotel is the house-keeping service - poorly trained and understaffed - so any normal check in is very slow and often delayed due to rooms not being ready. The daily house-keeping is also slow and irregular. The hotel may suit family groups looking for an inclusive resort but it is not suitable for business travel.
