It’s a beautiful resort but I wish I had known that Al Waha side is mainly for families. We were not expecting lots of screaming kids the entire time. I would have stayed at Al Bandhar or Al Husn. The food was excellent and the service was good but slow. Especially ordering coffee and drinks.

La la land

The hotel is dated and in dire need of renovation. Service is poor. The room rate and f&b are very overpriced. We had a really underwhelming trip and expected a lot better for the amount of money we spent.

I really enjoyed myself. The complex is amazing. The food is always good. One problem. The flies n the mosquitoes were very bad. I had to get an allergy injection from the onsite clinic after the normal allergy meds didn’t help the pain swelling n itching. So if you come to this property make sure you bring mosquito repellent and allergy medications.

This is easily the top 3 resorts that we have visited with a toddler. In fact, it was so nice that we extended our stay for another 5 days. The service was top notch and we enjoyed the great varieties of cuisines available in the resort. The staff went above and beyond to make sure that our stay is comfortable and memorable and put a nice individual touch to it. We appreciate that the front desk staff and restaurants staff remembered our names from day 1 and are always so cheerful. The excursions were well organized and I felt pampered at the Chi spa. There are a lot of kid-friendly activities onsite, including a few kiddie pools with different themes, and the lazy river was a hit with our 3-year-old. There is a great indoor playground "adventure zone" located not far from the Chi spa and has giant slides and an impressive vintage car collection. The adventure zone complements the kids club located in Al Waha and we had great fun in both!

Quality of service massively deteriorated. The hotel doesn’t follow through on the list of planned activities and often you mobilize for a scheduled activity to realize the activity is cancelled. The quality of information received is inconsistent between staffs: if you ask the same question to 2 members of the staff you get 2 different answers often impacting the quality of your experience. The facilities are very old too. Only good thing is that the resort is children friendly and kids are happy but adults do not have a good experience.

Some equipment like the floor carpets are getting old. otherwise, the hotel is very well kept. Staff is super kind: saying hello, smiling, making way. One gardener came to me, asking if it was ok for him to mow the lawn behind our chairs (he needed five minutes, asked for permission). In the restaurant though, there was a big number of staff but ineffective, running all directions, unorganised. For one evening I had to go in person to the restaurant to make my reservation for the evening dinner, as on the phone, the first person reached refused to passed me the restaurant (?). So I made the reservation in person, at the restaurant. but coming back at dinner time, the staff member had not put my name on the list, and it was a big mess to give me and my family a table.

HOTEL DOES NOT HONOR ONEKEY BENEFITS

I booked a trip here recently and was entitled to a free room upgrade and food/beverage credit as promised by hotels.com. Neither were honored at check in or in subsequent follow up (not sure if this is the hotel or hotel.com's fault), but it is all the more egregious because I was aggressively "upsold" to a bigger room for a fee upon check-in, so clearly the upgrade was available. The good: Most of the staff very polite and friendly. The dining options were good and varied. The outdoor features of the property are generally well maintained. The price is reasonable, but just know this is in no way a 5-star resort, perhaps 3-4. The ugly: While the (paid-for upgraded) room was spacious, it was SEVERELY dated and not worthy of the Shangri-La brand. The couches and chairs showed many signs of scratches and wear. There were no updated plug-in connections for USB, etc. that you will now commonly find at lesser quality properties.

Picked the hotel for the water related amenities, the pools and lazy river did not disappoint my 6 year old or us adults. The beach is lovely and private. The staff are very very attentive and pleasure to be served by them. The rooms are 4.5 stars. The difference between the hotels (3 on the same site) only clear when we were there. Husn is for adults, Bandar is mixed business and family; Waha is family orientated. Good amount of things for kids to do. The problems : there is nothing around ; it is 30-45 mins into Muscat (not hard but need a car, taxis too expensive) ; the restaurants were limited and always booked, several guests complained of the same, so you end up with basic menu in poolside restaurants. Biggest problem is a basic meal for family (nothing fancy) came to OM 35 over £70 ! Similar in Muscat would have been 15 OM. You can spend £100 a day on basic level food if they eat here only. Advice, get a car on deal site from airport. Airport taxi was £70/35 OM ! Or stay in Muscat. But pool facilities are really good. Also, get the breakfast included. Overall, despite the problems, I would return to stay but plan it better.

This is a resort that is best suited for a family get away. It is a great place to go and detox from the chaos of the normal rat race and have beautiful bonding moments with the family. We took the kids for a 5 day break and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great location, easy access to sister hotels. Good restaurants. They need more beach beds and umbrellas on the beach.
