No pool

Food was average, nothing outstanding i would rate it a 3 star max. There is no pool no tv in rooms and no shisha. Kids age 5 or more have to pay towards meals. Sunset dunes drive was great and loved the experiance and is the only complimentary activity.

Great property in the Wahiba Sands desert. We were initially a bit hesitant about our booking, but we were not disappointed. We had a beautiful room, staff was friendly, the restaurant was nice and food was exquisite. We also enjoyed very much the complementary activities provided by the hotel.
