Sohar Beach Hotel  

The location on the beach front is excellent and the staff are friendly and very helpful

The hotel could do with a make-over. The rooms are very outdated and in need of renovation. For the money it is poor.

Bad service in restaurants, air con leaking water in the bedroom, internet connection didn't work - 3 times.

Only one thing that it was located on Beach.....

Its not value for Money. Too expensive..... Breakfast was not good....

Great location and friendly helpfull staff.

Food was good quality. Location of the hotel is good beside the beach.

Badly, there was tar on the beach

The location is amazing, the chalet No.17 Was amazing and very spacious. The bed was clean and very comfortable. The sitting room was huge and comfy. Pool facing chalet and the beach was just a hop away from the pool. The pool side bar was superb very natural and relaxing. The beach was clean but the sand was brown…. The breakfast was great but very monotonous. Same thing served every day. Suggest you try out the local BBQ’s which are prepared on the roadside by the local Omani people. People out there are very friendly. The drive on the Sohar coast is great, very close to nature… its green. November ,December is the perfect month to be in Sohar. The pool attendant Mr. Imtihas is realy nice and friendly to talk to. He is the veteran of that place working there since the Hotel was built in 1992 (if I got my dates right).

The bedings although clean are very old and some have holes. Perhaps there are rats around ha ha ha Breakfast is very monotonous, every day the same thing is served. Make sure that you don’t go during Eid, no booze is served in the hotel, in fact whole of Oman for the first 3 days of Eid. You can carry your own booz and drink as much as you want to though.

Great location, beautiful set up of the complex. A gem. Very friendly reception.

F&b staff could be more professional. Some items outrageous expensive (ex. More than 4 euro for a very small cup of espresso coffee).

Facilities, service

Bathroom was not up to standard with large waterstains on the ceiling and mold

Accommodation was OK, although it can use a brush of paint... Staff was friendly but not yet on speed. Great swimming pool but do not go there with small children.

The environment is superb

Good pool and excellent beachfront location. Quirky architecture.

A/c in room not working properly (and we were upgraded to the Royal Suite). Terrace sometimes taken over by tour groups so had to eat inside.

The Sohar Beach has very large, comfortable rooms and friendly staff. The hotel's design is inspired by that of Oman's forts. The grounds and siwwiming pool are well kept.

It is not a beach hotel. At the time of our stay there was a warning for tar on the beach which, we suspect, had been there for some time. So,although a number of guests were using the very nice swiming-pool, noone actually dared to use the beach. The hotel is quite far from the centre of the city. Last but not least, there is some construction work going on. The cutting of tiles by machine some 10 meters away from the restaurant terrace while guests were having lunch was noisy and unpleasant to say the least.
