“An Excellent Resort”

The resort has three hotels. We stayed at the Al Bandor. It was everything we expected. Excellent rooms, service and the location is stunning. The New Years Eve banquet started with drinks reception on the lawns followed by an really good banquet and finished off with a Beatles tribute band next to the beach and fireworks at midnight. Some of our luggage was left at Heatrow and it an example of the hotel's service was not just that when we mentioned this on arrival at reception (at gone midnight), not only did the hotel say they would sort it out, but we had only been in our room for a few minutes when a member of staff arrived with complementary polo shirts, nightwear, toothpaste etc - something that really shows thought.

“Wonderful!”

My husband and i picked this resort for our 10th wedding anniversary. Our entire stay was very relaxing. the staff were extremly friendly and they could not be more helpful. They gave us a bottle of champagne, a cake and flowers on our anniversary which was a special touch. Could not recommend this hotel highly enough.

“Fantastic resort”

The Shangri-La in Muscat is a fantastic resort where service comes first. Our room was in the 'cheapest' of the three hotels that make up the resort and our initial reaction was 'hmm, is this it' but the size of the bathroom quickly made up for it. The service in the hotel was impeccable - for instance, cold towels and fruit was brought to us while lounging in the sun; it is these little touches that set the hotel apart from its peers. The various restaurants offer good quality food though the seafood restaurant is a bit overpriced.

“thought I had died and gone to heaven”

Reluctant to share this info in case it attracts too many people. Al Husyn is the part of the resort reserved for only 18 yrs & older. Very sophsticated, comforting and elegant. Makes you think that whoever planned it already thought of everything you could want in a hotel. Very expensive, but in this part of the world - with 7star hotels- this one still stands up quite well against the competition.

“Fantastic Service”

Great honeymoon - all staff were very attentive and they made our stay extremely pleasant. As it was our honeymoon they provided little extras which were very unexpected but fantastic - flowers, wine, cake and a fruit plate! Overall it was a great hotel and a very relaxing stay.

“Muscat dans toute sa splandeur !!!”

Vraiment un très belle Hôtel, le service est de qualité, les gens très agréable, c'est un complexe qui regroupe trois Hôtel, un très grand nombre de choix de restaurant, un décord vraiment très jolie, situé dans les roches. Nous sommes deux jeunes de 23ans et nous avons adorés, parcontre il faut noté que la plage c'est pas top, mais il y'a 3 piscines pour profité un max...

“Hôtel SHANGRI LA à MASCATE : le luxe à tous les étages !”

Je recommande cet hôtel car c'est tout simplement un palace ! le personnel ne sait pas quoi faire pour vous satisfaire, et ce, à n'importe quelle heure... il devient un sérieux concurrent pour le Al Boustan... si je retourne à Mascate, c'est vers cet hôtel que se portera à nouveau mon choix. Il est situé dans une enclave entre la montagne et la mer...une mer chaude, 2 piscines refroidies l'été , une petite rivière... c'est tout simplement un aperçu du paradis !

“Shangri-La Mascate, Oman”

Probablement l'un des plus beaux hôtels dans lequel il m'ait été donné de rester. Service parfait, cadre idyllique et pas encore trop de tourisme. Parfait !!!

“Shangri-La Lives Up to its Reputation”

A really nice place with very friendly and helpful staff. There are a few restaurants and shops in the resort but the choice is limited as you will be some distance from city. The scuba dive school/shop is conveniently located nearby. If you want to get aound, it is essential to have a car when staying at this resort alththough there is a limited shuttle service into town.
