Fabulous property near airport and convention centre. Best buffet breakfast around and notging too much trouble. Great pools on ground floor so no being blown away with omani winds. The quickest check out ever.

Near to the airport but almost no construction in the area. It’s a convenient accommodation if you have a rental car.

A great hotel ideally situated close to the airport if you are using it more frequently. Taxi costs 7 OMR (£15 ish). Good food and excellent value buffet service if you choose it. Other alacarte restaurants available also in Hotel. Super friendly staff and extremely helpful. Pool bar/ nice pool and nice garden area. Upstairs sports bar. Tennis court and spa if you fancy it. Within touching distance of the beach, but you need a car or taxi (not walkable). Small mini market not too far (for the little stuff at MUCH cheaper prices!) Surprisingly quiet whilst we were there and not in the Hubble of the town centre and crowds. If it you want that - this is not the place for you as it is quite isolated (what we actually wanted but doesn't suit all).

The hotel is located nearby airport. You need a car to get around the city. The hotel is new, clean and very peaceful. Lovely pool, good service and superb breakfast. Special thanks to Charm Thai restaurant for tasty Thai food and friendly service.

Since the hotel was new, taxi drivers in the city often didn't know the location and got lost. If you have more signs on the road, my trip could have been better. I asked a wake-up call saying "I need to leave hotel at 4am for my flight and please give me wake up call at 3:30" at the reception. i even made a double-check "3:30". however, the reception did not give me the call. I managed to wake up by myself and could catch the flight but it made me heavily disappointed. Nevertheless, staying experience was very good and they have nice restaurants.
