Hotel 5-Star di Dhofar, Oman

Friendly staff the only bad thing I can mention got nothing to do with the hotel but is the taxi drivers who wait outside in front of the street at the hotel. If you use the otaxi app they will respond and tell you you have to pay double price. You better of renting a car or book a taxi with the otaxi app from a location nearby.

A large, green, well-maintained area. At first, everything seems very far apart, but the well-designed layout of the buildings and their placement ensures quick access to everything. The only caveat for those not confident in the water is the waves. This doesn't apply to the hotel's services. It's clean, the linens are good, and you don't have to chase any staff. The food is delicious and fresh, and the wine is decent. I'll likely be back.

We sat in the hotel for 3 nights and mr .adnan ( Omani man ) he give us upgrade of the room to a villa with a private pool and the name of the room was (oile) in Arabic words ( zaytona) The resort was a series of hotels (Grand Hyatt) The location is an hour away from Salalah, which made the place quieter and far from the noise, the sound of the sea and the lights at night makes you live an experience between (the desert and the sea) The service of the staff in the hotel is one of the best things possible and the existing schedule and events carried out by the hotel for guests indicates their interest without the need to go down to Salalah. The hotel is a place to settle and enjoy the tranquillity of nature without the need to go to another place. Cleanliness of the place, food, cleaning of rooms, service of the staff through diversification in hospitality to express their welcome to guests. There are classes to learn the cook and the offers offered by the spa to guests. The hotel's appreciation of the employees by honouring them and celebrating them, which I found in the place of residence, which reflects on the employee's giving the inmate everything he needs with love. The experience in general is 100%, it deserves every word of thanks.

The hotel is excellent! We stayed with our family from April 14th to April 21st, 2026. The beaches are fantastic, with options for everyone: completely calm, with small waves, or the ocean with large waves. The only downside, which ruined one day, was related to car rental. I had inquired about car rental from Russia, and the hotel recommended 'alphaglobalcar' in an email, stating they were good partners. They turned out to be scammers. Thanks to the person at the front desk (I don't remember their name) who, after an hour of shouting back and forth with 'alphaglobalcar,' helped resolve the conflict. My only question is, why would the hotel recommend these scammers when there's a good car rental service available right at the hotel?

Overall one of the best hotels I ever stayed in. Side note; I live in the UAE, where 5 stars hotel are really common. The rooms are spacious, beautifully designed, the beds super comfy and the washrooms are every woman's dream (lightning, mirrors and amouage amenities). Staff is super attentive, accommodating and naturally friendly. They actually love what they do and we as guests can feel it's authenticity - which makes everything dining experience really special. The food was beyond delicious and the variety in the buffet made it hard to choose and even harder to not overeat. Congratulations to the management and leadership of the hotel team - you truly do an amazing job. I will definitely be back!

The hotel is located an hour away from the airport. It is located in the distance of everything, i.e. to get out of the territory nowhere. The rooms are located in the main building and in separate standing houses. Unfortunately, when we were inhabited in the five-star hotel room, there was no shoe, no dressing room, no accessories. They were brought only after the request. Food is quite uniform and scarce. For food, a queue is lined. Staff is not able to clean tables for visitors , drinks are easier to take by themselves than wait for them to be brought. Drinks are served only in a strictly devoted time from 12 to 15 in a bar at the pool and from 12 to 18 on Fridays. In a cafe in the lobby everything is paid. At the same time, exchange of money on the resepshne counter is impossible , you need to go to a shop where you must buy something. The beach is a little far away - you can get to the baggage or walk. Sometimes there are not enough lying on the beach. No animation, only Italian for Italians. For Italians a separate restaurant. Staff friendly, on the counter the resepshin speak Russian. Overall , staying in the hotel is quite comfortable. White sand and lasurious sea smoothed out the shortcomings.

The hotel service is standard for a place like Salalah. Since I'm from Dubai, it's hard to compare the service there. For example, there's no valet parking, which is available at almost every hotel in Dubai. The hotel's decor is very traditional. Breakfast is also very simple, catering primarily to a Middle Eastern clientele, especially locals.

This is a perfect place to stay for 2-3 days. You can get everywhere by bus, and Google Maps shows all the routes and times. There are plenty of places to walk around, and you can even walk to the beach. However, if you're looking for a beach vacation, this isn't the spot; the beach is more for strolls. Let me tell you, if you want good service, go to Hilton. I've stayed with this chain many times in different countries, and their standards are truly excellent.
