Location, stunning mountain views, nature, food, guided tour of the Balcony hike, helpful and smiling staff. We had a great stay. No wifi, which we liked too. Good place to disconnect.

Eun, United Arab Emirates

Food was excellent. Ambience is excellent. Location fantastic. Cordial behavior of the hotel staff. Though booking.com did not share my request to accommodate my child in the same room to the hotel staff, which was a surprise to all of us , but the hotel staff were so considerate and accommodating that they upgraded my room to a bigger room without any additional charge. The sunset and sunrise points are also nearby.

The extra services are not properly advertised. There is so much more to this place, just ask when booking. Yoga in the morning or rock climbing. All for a small extra fee. People who expect a 5* city experience should not book on top of a mountain.
Excellent location and very well designed. Had a great local feel to it. The breakfast and dinner (having stayed 2 nights) are great (buffet) and change daily. I wanted to try every single dish, if only I had the space. Mind you, it is included in the price so the rooms are well priced considering. Ask for a campfire if you get the garden option, it adds a lot to the experience!

Didn’t like the old tents, asked for a change, got a bungalow that was basic. Next day I asked again for a change because the bungalow was taken (however booking told there were some available) I got again an old tent, I asked for a new tent... big surprise that one was very nice! So a bit a bummer we didn’t get the new tent from the beginning....
Best location ever. Good quality of food. Very sweet people in the kitchen and restaurant.

This place has great views, close to the amazing Grand Canyon. Staff was very helpful and nice. We also enjoyed the view close to the accommodation, you can just jump into the car, drive 5 minutes and watch sunset over the mountains. Really beautiful!

The food was terrible. Extremely poor quality and quantity. It is hard to describe how bad this place is compare to nearly everything else in Oman that we visited. The bathroom had an overpowering smell. The aircon did not work and the kettle was positively dangerous with the handle broken. The whole resort was run down. We have found Oman fantastic except this place. Find somewhere else.
Virtually nothing except the location
