Reviews Summary
This summary was created by AI, based on recent reviews.
Powered by AI
Nestled on a prime beachfront, the Crowne Plaza Resort Salalah receives accolades for its stunning views and spacious, well-kept rooms. Guests commend the attentive service, with some highlighting the staff's exceptional hospitality.
The resort's cleanliness and a variety of dining options are also praised, although the outdated decor and loud music have been points of contention. While the value for money is debated, with some discrepancies noted in food and beverage pricing, the well-maintained pools and gardens contribute to the overall positive experience.

Detailed Reviews
Very impressed with cleaning services from Rana. He is extremely friendly and was very helpful, he gave us plenty of extra supplies (towels, water, etc). He made our stay very enjoyable! The staff at breakfast in the main restaurant were also amazing, helped with everything we needed and gave us containers so we could take some food from the buffet on our day trips. Highly recommend!

We checked-in here with my friends from Muscat a couple of times and as a treat for them who came from North to experience Salalah, I can say the hotel is nice and clean with a superb view of the beach. We enjoyed the breakfast in ocean view with a variety of food that we can choose from. The staffs were so friendly and I remember that 1 staff named Elvira who’s very helpful and cheery in helping and assisting us with regards to our meal.
I live in Salalah and this hotel and restaurant is definitely one of the best I’ve ever been. I’ll recommend this hotel and restaurant to all my friends who will visit me again from different parts of Oman.👌👌👌

I chose Crown Plaza Salalah for my daughter's first birthday. The cake table was set on the beach in a mesmerising view. The whole Crown Plaza team is very friendly especially Mr. Ved and Devendra from the F&b team.
Thank you for making it a memorable trip.

Its my first time to visit Oman. I went here to marry my fiance. I was looking for a resort in Salalah. We met MS. ELVIRA in Ocean blue restaurant(also in crowne plaza) when we had lunch with friends. She recommended the hotel resort. So I booked our honeymoon in Crowne Plaza resort Salalah as a surprise to my wife. Ms.MAE and Mr. DARSHANA made it extra special by surprising my wife with a cake and decorated the room. They even upgraded the room as a gift to us. My wife was very happy. We also had a romantic dinner. Ms Elvira, mr. Devendra and ms Shilah assisted us. They were very accomodating. It was indeed a memorable first trip in Oman. Looking forward to coming back. Thank you to all the staff 👍🏻

Definitevely one of my best experiences in Hotels in GCC. Very good location right in a sandy and broad beach, nice sunrises and sunsets.
Amazing breakfast with a 5 star service. We stayed with half Board with plenty of options in one of the restaurant on the beach (you can be next to the sand if you want and hearing the waves while dinning). Plenty of Anti COVID measures.
Very well maintained, staff is really diligent. The manager (Hadi) is everywhere looking after the staff.
We'll come back.

I have lived in Salalah for 5 years and whenever I want to relax by the sea and have a great coffee with lovely service I visit my friends at the Crowne. Their New Blue Ocean terraced restaurant and cafe is the most friendly and luxurious place on the beach front. And when my friends from overseas come for a visit I book a nice room for them at the Crowne Hotel where the staff always make you feel at home.
And Christmas Eve 2020 at the Crowne had Santa and all the festivities

We enjoyed a wonderful week in Oman at the Crowne Plaza Resort. I would not rate it a 5* luxury place, but definitely the staff owns 5*, always very friendly and helpful at reception, restaurants and housekeeping.
Restaurant offers buffet for lunch and dinner as well as à la carte dishes, which however we never tried as we were quite happy with the buffet. Unfortunately there are just few tables outside on the terrace and one has to be lucky to get one.

Crowne Plaza is absolutely special! Not only because of the natural beaches but more over because of the people who work there. When you walk over to the restaurant for breakfast on the beach, during the day or in the evening, staff is greeting you and more than friendly.
It seems the management has understood that happy employees are a precondition to happy guests (think about all the hotels where staff runs around totally stressed; Crown is the opposite).
On top, they really try to make your stay as pleasant as possible and support you as Shamirla from the reception did when we tried to extend our stay.
Thank you!
