Wonderful place. The service was the best we’ve experienced in the Gulf/M.E, Omani guides were so welcoming and knowledgable (great to see local people/economy supported). The food is pricey but everything we ate, we loved! I’d advise arriving at dusk - the resort looks its best at this time. Also bring mosquito repellent (or ask at front desk - they’ll give it free :) as it’s not too high or dry for knats! My only slight disappointment was the misleading photography of the place on every...

A tiny hotel next to the Balcony Walk, with an absolutely wonderful staff. The room itself was nice even if a bit basic (it did have, however, flushing toilet, a hot shower, and AC). The hotel provided a dinner and a breakfast, which were delicious and abundant. The location couldn’t be better. The sunrise view is hands down something to be remembered for life.

Very comfortable rooms set around pretty courtyards - one with a lovely pool and another where we ate breakfast and dinner. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and the food was good. It was pleasant to be able to get a glass of wine or a cocktail- rare in Oman
