Die Anlage ist meilenweit von dem entfernt, wie sie beschrieben wird. Das riesige Areal war wie ausgestorben, beim Abendessen waren wir alleine in einem großen Speisesaal, vergleichbar mit einer Bahnhofshalle, die Speisekarte war ein Fake, denn es gab nur ein Gericht und das war mässig. Das Frühstück war mehr als mäßig. Der Pool war verschmutzt und nur zum Teil gefüllt. Auch hier keine Gäste. Das weitläufige Areal hat schon längere Zeit keine Pflege erhalten. Die Einrichtung der großen Zimmer ist in die Jahre gekommen, die Fenster waren nicht zu öffnen, die sanitären Anlagen bräuchten eine Generalüberholung, lockere Wasserhähne, mässiger Wasserdruck.
Man hatte den Eindruck, dass die Bulldozer für den Abriss schon in den Startlöchern stehen. Schade, war sicherlich vor Jahren traumhaft.

Huge hotel that has seen much better days, the rooms are big and comfortable but the pool area is dismal , the breakfast is good and the food is ok , the service is good and the staff polite ,all in all a bit of a mixed bag !
Relaxing hotel situated in a beautiful park. Excellent swimming pool and gym. Very quiet. Pity that meals were very overpriced.

Schöne, großzügige Anlage mit kleinen Mängeln
Sehr großzügige und ursprünglich auch sehr schöne Anlage, die aber schon bessere Zeiten gesehen hat. Es fehlt leider an Erhaltungsreparaturen und etwas bei der Sauberkeit.
Excellent property and ideal location. Enjoyed lot

Weitläufige Anlage mit vielen Bungalows
Die Zimmer sind groß und sauber, allerdings bedarf es an einigen Stellen der Renovierung. So war einer der Lichtschalter neben dem Bett defekt, im Poolbereich sollte das Sonnendach repariert werden. Das Personal ist freundlich. Insgesamt ist die Anlage sehr weitläufig.

Hotel in Ordnung, aber schon etwas veraltet. Schöne große Zimmer.
Gutes Frühstücksbuffet mit guter Auswahl. Pool nicht besonderes. Großer Parkplatz. Zum Flughafen Muscat in etwa 45 Minuten.

Leider etwas heruntergekommen und ungepflegt. Das Pool war schmutzig und das Wasser war nur halb eingelassen.
Great location, well situated, huge area, nice pool, very friendly staff, good management. We like to come back. We enjoyed very much the superb stay on the Dunes Resort, a derivative of Al Nahda, a Hotel like a tent village in the dessert-great!

Im grünen
Etwas in die Jahre gekommene Ansage, das Hotel ist grün das Frühstuck ok
Worst experience in Al Nadha during Eid Al Adha holidays due to following reasons :
1. Swimming was not maintained at all; could see algae flaoting around
2. Both the ACs were not working at all during the summer time
Positive - Spa, Food, Big area, silent environment
Negative - Unmaintained areas, old and broken furniture, Room phone not working hence has to go to all places to get the requirements, maintenance staff not able to fix phone, smelly toilet, week Wifi signal, less illumination in external lawn areas, less serving staff in restaurants
The good thing about cycling. The suites has no towels in bathrooms
Service is poor took 3 + hours to get bath towel. WiFi poor connection

Barka resort after a day in the wadis.
Kind of a hidden gem, for the price. Barka is close to several amazing Wadi hikes. This property is a unique concept and the villas are spacious. Far better than we hoped for in booking. Check it out.
Wir waren nur 1 Nacht in der Anlage. Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig und sauber. Die weitläufige Anlage ist insgesamt schon etwas veraltert aber in einem ordentlichen Zustand. Große, schmackhafte Auswahl beim Frühstücksbuffet.
The facility is very old and is not maintain properly, you can easily see the trash and empty bottles around the area. the pool bar was closed and calling to receive any services taking ages. Breakfast was very limited and many item were not fresh !!!
Is not worth the money.

Very tired
Lovely surroundings and nice apartments, just a shame the resort looked tired. The jacuzzi and lazy river was closed and the resort was a ghost town. Many tiles missing from the swimming pool.
