Great location in the mountains. Just a 7km drive to the start of the Jebal Sharms Balcony Hike. Beautiful room overlooking the property and mountains around us.

Dinner was good, not much options honestly, but it was decent after a long ride to the hotel from UAE Staff were amazing, caring and kind...

Modsaid United Arab Emirates

Beautiful location, very friendly & helpful staff. Lovely room with refrigerator and coffee & tea service. Meals were good. Was very appreciative of the upgrade! We stayed in a Grand Chalet.

Lisa United States of America

The location was perfect. The room was spacious and comfortable. The food was great and the dining area had a nice atmosphere to stay a while there.

Stephen United States of America

Note that there are many room options. We stayed in a standard room that was a stand alone building sharing no walls with other rooms. We found it to be simple, but clean and more than spacious enough for two. Friendly, accommodating staff that was able to check us in early. They even held a special Christmas dinner which was unexpected but quite nice! Location is excellent for hiking. Quiet. Good heat for the chilly nights.
