A clifftop resort for guests above 16 years old, with sea and ocean view rooms and suites including breakfast and exclusive benefits for panoramic rooms and suites: mini bar, afternoon tea, cocktail...

We were absolutely overwhelmed by the hospitality of the entire staff. In all our travels across different countries, we have rarely experienced such warmth and genuine care. After a minor accident I had at the beach, help was immediate and extremely attentive, which we truly appreciated. The hotel itself is beautifully located, offering stunning views and an atmosphere of complete tranquility. The food was outstanding — especially the breakfast, which was a daily highlight. The private beach was simply a dream: peaceful, immaculate, and exclusive. We also loved the daily afternoon tea with coffee and cake at 3:30 PM, as well as the evening drinks starting at 6 PM — these thoughtful touches made the stay even more special. Through the hotel, we also booked a tour to the Dimaniyat Islands. Although the group was larger than we had originally expected and the experience was not as private as we had imagined, it turned out to be a truly wonderful adventure. We were lucky enough to see whale sharks and dolphins, and we even had the unforgettable experience of swimming with turtles. Normally, we never visit the same hotel twice — but Shangri-La Al Husn will definitely be an exception. We are already looking forward to returning!

Situated in Muscat, and directly linked to the Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre, JW Marriott Hotel Muscat features accommodation with a restaurant, free private parking, an outdoor swimming pool...

Up there with one of the best hotel experiences I have ever had. The hotel itself is stunning, with beautiful grounds featuring gardens, several pools, sports facilities and plenty of relaxing areas. The gym is phenomenal and I only wish I had brought my workout gear. What truly set this stay apart was the staff. We were celebrating a special occasion and the room was beautifully decorated with balloons, rose petals and a delicious chocolate cake waiting for us. A special mention to Sanjay who checked us in so warmly at reception and to Kay and Reham who looked after us so well during dinner. Also a big thank you to Joven and Jamira for their kindness. And to Nancy also! The amazing staff alone would make us want to return to Muscat just to stay at this hotel again.

    The location of the hotel is very good for sightseeing by car, as it is right in the center. The rooftop pool area is beautiful and very clean - but a few more loungers wouldn't hurt. The breakfast offer is very varied from local dishes to the typical continental offer everything was there. Tip 1: be sure to visit the neighboring mosque - it's beautiful and within walking distance. Tip 2: You can eat very cheaply and very tasty on the other side of the river bed on Al Maha Street: Afghan, Kuwaiti, Omani and many more.

    This is a great value hotel in the heart of Muscat City - great location which is accessible and cost effective for taxis to get around anywhere you wish! The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helping and I enjoyed my stay. Ideal if you're just looking for a comfortable place to sleep whilst you're out on excursions for most of the day! Also, getting to the airport from here (and most landmarks) is cheap.
