Pros: The staff are the standout feature of this hotel. Friendly, engaging, and always helpful. From arrival, to housekeeping, to restaurant and pool and beach staff, they were all excellent. We particularly enjoyed the breakfast and the Tapas restaurant, and liked the Afternoon complimentary tea, and drinks.the rooms were large and generally well-furnished.

Pros: Staff were always smiling and eager to assist. The hotel offers a lot of complimentary services to guests as a standard practice, so it would seem tough to find ways to make guests feel extra-special. Well, they managed to do it anyhow, with lovely surprises like personalised floral messages and patisserie.

Pros: The staff are the standout feature of this hotel. Friendly, engaging, and always helpful. From arrival, to housekeeping, to restaurant and pool and beach staff, they were all excellent. We particularly enjoyed the breakfast and the Tapas restaurant, and liked the Afternoon complimentary tea, and drinks.the rooms were large and generally well-furnished.
Cons: We did not enjoy the Moroccan restaurant, albeit the furnishings were nice. The food was uninspiring and hugely over-priced. Either the menu and chef need changing and/or the hotel should think of another cuisine to offer. The rooms are a little dated now. The shower cubicle is dark and has poor lighting, and there is insufficient drawer space for clothes. Also, additional multi-use plug sockets should be installed. There is a 2x a day shuttle to the Muttrah souk. It would be much more rewarding if the hotel arranged a daily shuttle to the Opera House timed for the hourly tours that take place. This place is so much more rewarding than the souk.

Pros: The property is gorgeous, with beautiful design details. The Long Pool is especially spectacular, all 100+ metres of it!
Cons: The service was punctilious, but didn't convey any sense of warmth which was in stark contrast to our experience at the luxury hotel we'd stayed in just prior to the Chedi. The buffet breakfast was distinctly average for a hotel in this bracket. We were initially impressed by the range of cuisine on offer, but found the cooking of dubious quality, with eggs awash in butter, stodgy dim sum and overly sweet viennoiserie.

Cons: Food and beverage was really expensive for what it was - for example the only kids menue was 4 OMR each - so with taxes a little over 12 EUR - for lunch is quiet a lot ! The only other option would be fries for 2 !!! OMR Also they wanted to charge my 5 year old one 3 OMR so 10 EUR for a little boogie board for one hour ?

Pros: Our stay at Muskat Hills Resort was the highlight of our journey. We chose it because we wanted some relaxing days in nature and the clean beach huts with open-air bathroom were therefore the very best choice we could have made (especially in contrast to the other hotels in the nearby bays). We also appreciated the architecture of the beach huts constructed of natural and traditional materials and the tastefully designed restaurant and pool-area. The small bay is full of maritime life and is perfect for small walks, swimming and simply enjoying the sun, nature and unique scenery. There is also a diving center which offers diving and snorkeling trips. A very big plus for us was the friendliness and helpfulness of the hotel stuff. Especially Reena the receptionist was very committed and had many helpful suggestions for our trip through Oman and answered all our questions competently.

Pros: The beach, room and breakfast were nice. The people at the front desk were very nice and helpful. The room was large and comfortable and the setting was fantastic.
Cons: The service at dinner and breakfast was not very good. We were served frozen tomatoes and then one of the staff wanted to argue with us that it was how they always served it. Later he apologized and took it off the bill. They were not very busy but didn't bring our water until we had finished eating. At breakfast, it took so long to get the egg we ordered that we eventually had to leave and canceled the order.
1.0 Poor
Pros: I liked the beach and the scenery.
Cons: everything else was below standard. The room was not clean, below quality, not value for money. No isolation, couldn't make use of the beach because the noise gets to the rooms where other people are sleeping!
8.0 Excellent
Pros: Breakfast was superb.
Cons: No one is picking up phone calls in the reception. Take ages to answer. Need to improve. Add more selections for lunch and dinner in the menu.
9.2 Excellent
Pros: very friendly and helpful staff, clean beach hut, free yoga sessions, delicious and nutritious breakfast, serene beach view, minimalism
Cons: mosquitoes, the beach hut was very clean but going in and out without cleaning feet with water hose/using water jars makes no sense, we were told the ambience is livelier than this with music and DJ’s but mourning for the Late Sultan (May God test his soul) it’s too quiet.
9.0 Excellent
Pros: The hotel is laid back and boutique- the rooms were relaxed and staff friendly.
Cons: The room indicated on booking.com was much larger in the picture than what was provided. The rate to stay on an additional night, albeit last minute decision for us, was much higher resulting in us going to a 5 star down the road with plethora of facilities, seemed a bit silly as the hotel booking the room the same evening would have been slim, was a pity to break the stay as if the hotel had kept the rate the same we would have stayed.

The shared balcony gave a relaxing view out into the beach and sea and we loved just sitting listening to the birds and the water.
The facilities were excellent. We used the fitness centre a few times and it was always cool and clean. The pool was a good size and there was obviously a lot of work each day in keeping it pristine.

Cons: Mold in the room. Dirty carpet. Bathroom had some unclean areas. Dirty ceiling near vent. Could smell the alcohol and then the bleach from the bar. Shared patio not a balcony in our "upgraded" room.
4.0 Okay
Pros: The best element of this hotel was its location, in front of the beach
Cons: The facilities are in dire need of renovation, with rusty staircases to access the pool, dated carpets and doors that required a bit of sheer force to lock. The breakfast, whose reviews were glowing, was in fact a bit average, with a few missing items compared to the menu list. There were no towels, and the staff seemed to struggle to find any at the hotel... in simple terms: great location, but lacking resources both in terms of renovation and staff.

Cons: -the hotel is really dated and not well maintained -not direct access to the beach -shared balcony with another rooms so we could not leave the door open during the night -I was returned by the female receptionist when I wanted to go on the beach in shorts as it's not allowed and I need to change and wear something longer - breakfast is really Poor. Instant coffee. When we ordered both tea they brought one jug only we had to ask for another one. The 3breakfasy options where they don't have all. Items anyway.

9.7 Excellent
Pros: Great location and stay made easy with superb staff. The local area was spot on for a different range of eating options and a nearby taxi rank. It was also really good for people watching.
The shared balcony gave a relaxing view out into the beach and sea and we loved just sitting listening to the birds and the water.
The facilities were excellent. We used the fitness centre a few times and it was always cool and clean. The pool was a good size and there was obviously a lot of work each day in keeping it pristine.
Cons: The rooms are a bit dated and our bathroom especially could do with some TLC. There was a stale cigarette smell in our room so maybe a no smoking policy in some rooms would be a good thing as in my experience so few people smoke nowadays.
By reading previous reviews we had our expectations managed about noise. The noise was just about tolerable but for some a small venue, I think the policy on volume at Route 66 could be reviewed. We were in there when a band was warming up and it wa deafening. This would then help the guests who are staying so close by. We also had a very noisy fridge but got used to it.
