Very special hotel including the building. Level of service was outstanding, staff very friendly and helpful. Great hotel for to relax and recharge!!! Dinner on the beach very special! Breakfast was also well worth it.

I am not normally given to writing effusive reviews. I am a cheap date and am happiest with a simple bed and breakfast. I have stayed in 5 star hotels all over the world and they leave me cold to be honest. But the Al Bustan Palace does not deserve such derision. It is lovely. Ignore the architecture - built... More

When staying at a 5 star property and a Ritz Carlton at that, the minimum requirement one would have thought would have been a clean bed for the night. On pulling back my duvet, it was very evident that the sheets had not been changed from the previous occupants and judging by the copious amounts of staining on the sheets,... More

The conference facilities are very poorly situated, the event staff are untrained and unfortunately largely slave labour who are underpaid and mistreated. The management think they are beyond reproach and are above everyone. I would not recommend this hotel and would suggest many other... More

My favorite country in the Gulf region just gave me more reasons to like Oman! Al Bustan is certainly superior to its equivalent hotels. It is opulent yet elegant, decorated in oriental and Arab styles with a certain touch of luxury and class. Subtle incense at the grand lobby and the personal attention that you receive from the minute you... More

We were only able to stay one night, but this hotel was amazing! It has a private beach and two of the three times we went to the beach, we had it all to ourselves. We had an executive suite room which was huge and had a beautiful view from the balcony. The room amenities were superb and the free... More
