• Shangri La's Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa-Al Husn
  "Mostly excellent, the odd frustration"
  "We booked a stay at Shangri-La's Barr al Jissah Resort in 2007 but when they day came to travel, several people told me to avoid Muscat due to "rain and wind". I phoned the hotel to ask if it was safe to travel, and the person I spoke to said yes. It turns out it wasn't, and we drove through Cyclone..." Gonu, the most devastating cyclone to hit Oman in 50 years! Needless to say, we didn't make it to Muscat on that occasion (the 30-foot palm tree being washed across the road was a sign to turn back...). On this occasion, I mentioned my previous experience when I booked and the hotel's people were good enough to upgrade us to a suite in light of that inconvenience. On arrival, via a road which would make a fine and testing race track (excellent surface, twisty and hilly), you're greeted by the stunning sight of rocky hills and headlands jutting into the Gulf of Oman. Those travelling from the airport should expect the trip to take an hour, possibly more in rush hour. Entering the resort,... " More >
• Lanavilla
  "A good accommodation far from the city center"
  "This B & B is very close to the sea, a 15-min drive from Muscat airport. Our ensuite room was clean and spacious with simple furniture. Guests had free access to a common area, made up of a large living room and a kitchen, where they could relax and enjoy their own meals. There you could find a comp..."uter with free Internet access (a wi-fi connection was also available), a small library with English books and some touristic information, a hair dryer, a microwave and a fridge with drawers for each room. A water cooler bottle and tea and coffee facilities were also available near the big dining table. There was an average breakfast selection with sweet and salty food and, on demand, you could also have eggs and other cooked food. Mic, the German owner, has always been very kind and helpful before and during our visit. Overall it is a good accommodation, but you have to take into account that it is quite far from the city center and from the main restaurants. In neighborhood, you can find o... " More >
• Al Bustan Palace, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel
  "Lovely hotel - cue Star Wars music"
  "I am not normally given to writing effusive reviews. I am a cheap date and am happiest with a simple bed and breakfast. I have stayed in 5 star hotels all over the world and they leave me cold to be honest. But the Al Bustan Palace does not deserve such derision. It is lovely. Ignore the architectur..."e - built in the 1980's it looks like it would be a base for an Star Wars overlord, but once you are past this, the rest is ... well... lovely. It has the nicest infinity pool I have ever seen, and really well manicured gardens. The sea is warm and gentle and the beach has gorgeous views. The staff are the best though - attentive without being overbearing or obsequious. Downsides - I have already mentioned the architecture, I can add to that the bathrooms ( well our bathroom - fussy and over tiled with a migraine inducing pattern.) Also the internal corridors are like a labyrinth . Of course they cannot do anything about the building (cue Star Wars music) or indeed the corridors and I suspec... " More >
