My husband and I have just returned from 5 wonderful days at The Al Bander in Muscat. We left our 3 children at home and had our first break together in 7 years and it was one of the best holidays we have ever had. The hotel itself is a little further out of Muscat than most of the other... more

Stayed at this hotel for 4 nights. Hotel is situated between beautiful mountains. Airport pick up was arranged by the hotel. Friendly driver who gave us information about the country and showed us important places as we drove towards the hotel. Checking in was not great. Waited for more than 30 minutes. Lady was trying to get a room as... more

Muscat, for those of you who havent had the pleasure, is a beautiful city. The people are great, the culture is interesting and the hotels are wonderful. I picked this hotel based on a recommendation I received from my sister, and it was priced well within my budget. If you're looking for a holiday where you're guaranteed to have a... more

Like all the other reviews on this site, this hotel is quite simply, the best we have ever stayed in. The staff fall over themselves to help and assist you in your every need and genuinely want to serve you and want you to have a good time. We have never been treated so couteously or politely anywhere else in... more

What to say? This place is awesome, mostly due to the attitude of every staff member on site, from the bellman that runs across to your car the moment you have attempted to lift your bag, to the roses, petals, cake and sparkling wine set up in the room for our honeymoon, to the staff that bring you cold towels,... more

I felt impelled to write a rather lengthy trip report of my recent vacation to The Shangri La, Al Bandar, which in my opinion was remarkable. The resort is fairly standalone, carved into the rocks of Muscat over looking the Arabian sea. It is pretty isolated and some distance from Muscat, about 40 mins from the airport. However, the resort... more

Just came back from 3 days at the Shangri La in Oman and have to start by saying that what stood out the most was the impeccable service we received from everyone at the Hotel. As soon as we had stepped foot in the door of Al Waha, we were greeted and given a welcome drink and 5 mins later... more
