A decent hotel, very good service, everyone is friendly and really trying to help, there are beautiful views around - mountains, sea - it's just love. They brought a sweet greeting card to our room for Christmas. As already mentioned, the hotel belongs to Shangri-le, respectively, a large area for walking. Every day except Friday, you can sign up for a shuttle to the city: 2 shopping malls, a market, museums. Good food, red fish for breakfast every day - refilled until the end of breakfast, capsule espresso coffee, lots of juices to choose from + a variety of standard breakfast items: scrambled eggs, muesli, sliced, hash browns, sausages, bacon, etc. At dinners every day there were seafood, fish, a variety of meat, a barbecue station (kebabs, seafood, vegetables), and standard salads, side dishes, etc. There were no overly spicy dishes, the sharpness was within the norm. We took a family room for 3 adults - these are 2 full-fledged separate rooms, which have plus 1 common door. The rooms are fresh, there are big TVs, the bathrooms have a bathtub and a shower, each room has a balcony with a corner view of the sea, but judging by the appearance of the building, each room will have some kind of sea view, possibly except for the 1st floor. Although the building is considered a family building, we, adults without children, were absolutely not bothered by anything, no extraneous sounds or other discomfort. What I didn't like was the weather in January, I think it will be better in March) We swam in the sea - like a river in summer, heated pools, a lazy river is a cool thing. Additional entertainment - during our stay, an Indian wedding took place, the wedding lasted 3 days, as the hotel wrote in a warning letter - it really was a variety of colors and traditions that were interesting to watch, and which did not cause us the slightest discomfort as vacationers. A bonus. Info that always worries me, and I'm trying to find it in the reviews - you can smoke on balconies)) and there are often trash cans with ashtrays in the territory. I will consider the option of returning to a warmer period in the future.

Great location, the hotel is large, the area is clean, cleaning every day. There are many restaurants on site, so you can diversify your meals. An excellent seafood restaurant, the seafood is the freshest and they are prepared very tasty, the way you choose. The service is excellent, they always ask if you like everything and are always ready to fix or improve your stay. The massage is not expensive, it's just incredible, of course it's expensive, but it's worth it. Amazing Omani coffee, I often had it for breakfast, I really liked it! The buffet is varied: lots of vegetables, very tasty local grilled fish. Of the cons, probably only sooooo hot sand on the beach, even in flip-flops you walk like a hot coal)) therefore, it is better to take high-soled slippers with you. There is a lazy river on the territory, a special kind of lazy entertainment, we really liked to soak up and swim lazily in the sun. Stunning view from the room's balcony...you open the balcony door and immediately the sea...and such an indescribable beauty! I really want to come back again!

Let's start with the fact that this hotel called Al Waha 5* is part of the triumvirate of the Shangri-La Oriental hotel chain and stands on the coast third in a row, after the Al Husn 5* and Al Bandar 5* hotels, which are conceptually different. Location - Muscat Airport is 47 km from the hotel and it takes ~ 40-45 minutes by car. The entrance to the hotel is through a small tunnel cut into the rock.The hotel building consists of three-storey buildings connected together, and a swimming pool is located in the center of the territory. Our building was closer to the football field and playground. Room - Superior Sea View Room ~30-33 m2 with balcony, windows overlooking the Gulf of Oman. It has a large double bed with two bedside tables, an armchair bed and a coffee table, a desk with a table lamp, a mini-bar, a kettle (cups, spoons, glasses), tea bags, coffee, sugar and cream, TV, excellent Wi-Fi (worked throughout the territory), but a very, very small closet.☝️ Every day they laid out little animals on our bed, out of towels, and decorated them with flower petals.😂2 bottles (0.5 liters) of drinking water per nose are given per day. There are few sockets and it is necessary to take adapters - standard ones from lpad and lphon will do.Bathroom: combined, with shower and bathtub, equipped with everything you need - bathrobes, slippers, toothbrushes with paste, shaving kit, shower gel, shampoo and lotion, intimate hygiene kit, sewing kit, shower cap, hair band. The faucets are pretty good and work fine. Hygienic shower (for men, but since the water is warm, it will suit us) with high pressure, but there is no brush. Breakfast and dinner (buffet) struck with their national diversity, where in 4 days everything is real and you can't try it. A lot of fruits and natural juices, hot dishes (two types of porridge), grilled fish and meat, assorted seafood, pasta, potatoes in different guises, rice, a variety of soups.👍👍👍That's just for breakfast it's better to eat inside, since the outdoor area is not protected by a grid and flocks of crows mercilessly grab plates with food brought to the table.👎 Alcohol is available, but expensive, as in any Arab country - beer 0.5 = 5 OMR ~ 1,250 rubles, and a bottle of 0.7 sparkling wine = 48 OMR ~ 12,000 rubles. I counted three restaurants that can be visited (19 OMR) - 🐟fish, 🇹🇭Asian and 🇮🇹Italian. Beach : it is ~ 400 m with gray sand, quite clean, but the entrance to the sea is only on the edges of the Al Bandar and Al Waha hotels, the water is clean and very warm. Beach towels are of very good quality (beige color), they are issued without deposit and without restrictions. 👍👍👍There are water activities - kayak, sapboard, sailing boats, jet ski = 25 OMR, etc. The most fun entertainment here for children after the slide is the “lazy river” - cheesecake rides along the winding riverbed from one hotel to another and back, which is popular with adults too!😃 Fauna : there are two 🐪🐪camel 🐴horse and ponies for riding, in addition to the Raven, you can see white and gray Heron on the rocks of the beach 🦇bats, crabs 🦀and natural 🐠fish. The service staff is completely customer-oriented, impeccably polite, smiling and ready to fulfill any request.👆You can use the pools, sun beds, umbrellas, tennis court, take walks on the territory of 2 hotels, you can completely freely, but the entrance to the territory of Al Husn 5* is reserved for you. If you want peace and quiet, then choose the neighboring hotel - Al Bandar 5*, as there are a lot of kids in this one, and (noticed) less in that one!☝️4 delightful days flew by unnoticed, I highly recommend this place.👍
