This hotel was great as part of a road trip across the Hajar mountains (Niswa to Sur, and on to Muscat). The hotel appears to be fairly new. Great views from the rooftop pool; good, standard Western breakfast; ample free parking. I only gave 3 stars to the local area - although it's walkable to the beach, it's not walkable to other Sur attractions (Dhow factory, Suq, forts, town centre). If you have a car this is definitely a great place to stay.
