We didn't stay at the resort, but we did pay to come and use the facilities for the day. It was great! It is beautiful, affordable, private, etc. They have a bar that opens at noon and a decent restaurant. While this place isn't luxury, it is a great place to visit the beach in the Middle East. The view... More

Just spent four days relaxing and enjoying the place and overall a good experience. Little tip if you can take a kettle with you as they don't provide in the room. If you are diving make sure you book your dives well in advance. From the name of the place I never assumed they would have only one boat and... More

The place is really nice and consists of a series of huts which appear the vary widely in standard. Ours was very well appointed and obviously recently renovated. The food and the kitchen staff are good. And we certainly never went hungry. The only slight criticisms is that the people working at the reception were not very knowledgeable apart from... More

First off: What are you expecting? Look at the photos! The lodging is Baristi huts. It's a dive center. As long as you understand your expectations, this place is fabulous!! We loved the quiet, the unique baristis and were completely surprised by the quality of the food! There's ample selection and it's very fresh. The lunch menu included Camel burger!... More

If you would like to spend a relaxing vacation directly on the beachfront in Oman but are not attracted by posh mega-hotels, this is the right place to go (even if you are not a diver). The bungalows are nice, clean and comfortable and are located directly on a beautiful sandy beach in a bay with clear, calm water which... More

I just spend 1 week diving with Oman Dive Center and despite a quite low visibility (no more then 10m), I really enjoyed the facilities and staff. Huge confortable boat, 3 tanks to wash your equipment. Great http://www.ediving.com/dives-divers-scuba-diving-in-middle-est-and-red-sea/diving-in-oman/

The burastis are very nice & clean. I really liked them and there is like 2 or 3 meters of space between each other. The bathroom is beautiful because you can see the mountains from it. It has tall walls but they do not get all the way up to the roof, so it lets the air/light in. The restaurant... More

I brought a party of divers to the Oman Dive Centre after being let down at the last minute by another dive operator. The dive centre is managed by a great couple, Patrik and Katja who were hugely flexible and helpful and helped me rescue what could have been a disaster of a weekend. The dive centre is situated in... More

Stayed there with 2 other couples last weekend. Very relaxed atmosphere and the staff (mainly the local Omanis are exceedingly helpful). The accommodation is very basic but that is all part of what this hotel/resort is all about. Perfect if you are staying with other couples or a small group, unlike a hotel room, each bungalow has a porch where... More

The place is very nice that is undeniable but the service and the food are truly bad. You sit down at your table and you need to wait for 10 minutes before someone takes you a menu and you even have to ask for out while the waiters mind thei own business. Moreover even the time you actually wait for... More
