Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a superb location with stunning views over Quorum beach and the coastal line of Muscat. The rooms, although slightly on the small side, were clean, but had a persistent musky smell from the AC. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. Overall, a beautiful location with outstanding service.
The hotel offers stunning views of the sea, town, and pool from one side of the room but has a musky smell from the AC. The rooms are spacious, well-furnished, and recently refurbished, making for a comfortable stay. The service is exceptional, with support always available, but there was an issue with a room upgrade charge during checkout. The location, while good, can be hard to find a taxi, yet it offers the best experience in Muscat with breathtaking sunset views. The dining options are varied but expensive, leaning towards non-veg items. Overall, the hotel provides a great experience with a few minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful! The rooms were fantastic with a clean, comfortable atmosphere and an incredible view over the sea and the sunset. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable and special. However, the dining options were a bit limited, and the location on a hill overlooking Qurum beach was stunning, but not very convenient for exploring around. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with some minor drawbacks.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with my family. The rooms were fairly small but comfortable, lacking sea views but offering a cozy terrace facing the coast. They were super clean which I appreciated. The location was great with a beautiful vista and a lovely small beach, but I wished it had more character. The service was exceptional, especially at the Tropicana buffet restaurant, and the staff were attentive and cooperative. The dining experience was amazing, offering a huge selection of Arabic and Western food.
The hotel offers rooms with balcony and wonderful views of the Corniche and mountains over the bay. The rooms have been recently refurbished and are comfortable with good facilities, including a massive super king bed. The service is efficient, from the gentlemen at the entrance to the wonderful chap servicing the room, offering late checkout until 6 pm free of charge. The location is in a serene neighborhood, a piece of heaven, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The dining experience at the Tropicana restaurant is unparalleled, with a great selection of food options meeting the whole family's needs.
The hotel offers stunning views of the Gulf of Oman and direct access to the pool and beach. However, the rooms feel a bit sparse and lack that extra charm. The service was exceptional, with a few friendly faces standing out. The location is fabulous with unparalleled views, but some staff members exhibited unfriendly behavior. The dining experience was excellent, especially in the Persian restaurant. Overall, a beautiful beachfront location with some room for improvement in room decor and staff attitudes.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with excellent quality toiletries. The staff is very friendly, but they could improve on providing helpful information. The location, though on the outskirts of the main sightseeing spots, is beautiful and peaceful. The dining experience caters to everyone with constantly replenished options. The facilities are well-maintained and provide a range of convenient services.
The hotel is a great place to stay with very spacious and clean rooms, perfect for a comfortable stay.

The dining experience has everything you wish for, with delicious snacks available. Overall, a wonderful choice for a stay.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although very small and cramped, offered a stunning ocean view and were well maintained by our room attendant. The service was friendly and accommodating, especially towards kids, but there were limitations in the dining options. The location was convenient and offered a relaxing getaway, but the dining experience fell short of expectations.
I was initially bothered by the slight smell of smoke in my room, but after the staff kindly relocated me, I was delighted with a much nicer, modern room with a bright ambiance. The hotel is perfect for hosting small and big events, offering balconies with stunning Seaview. The service, though grumpy at first, turned out to be friendly, professional, attentive, and detail-oriented.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The room offered a stunning ocean view and was well maintained by the room attendant, but there were issues with a damp smell and the need for pest control and equipment testing. The service staff was professional but sometimes not attentive to clients. The location was beautiful but had some drawbacks, and the dining experience, although with quality products, had some disappointments.
