Great staff and very clean room with high end toiletries.
Big hotel with great garden and pool right on the beach. Lovely place to relax. Great gym. Nice cafes just next door if you want to get away from hotel food.
We had a great stay as a family of 4. Excellent service all round. Breakfast very good, on-site restaurants also good and there are more food options within walking distance. The pools are lovely. The concierge and staff were brilliant, can't do enough for you. We used the salon and gym, both great.
The 2 things i would improve - kids club was very basic with no activities organised, and the kids pool could have been heated.
The room was amazing with a good view. Club lounge and staff were superb. The only thing stopping a 5 star rating was the service at breakfast and in the evening at the main restaurant, which was slow at times.
Intercontinental Muscat made us genuinely feel cared for.
From the moment we arrived, there was a calmness and warmth and warmth to the hotel that stayed with us throughout the entire visit. The property itself is beautifully designed in a way that feels deeply connected to Omani elegance. Traditional without feeling outdated, refined. Everything felt intentional: the architecture, the atmosphere, the gardens, the cleanliness, the quietness. A true sense of quiet luxury.
What we will remember most is the staff’s hospitality.
Breakfast each morning (we stayed 12 nights) became more than just breakfast. It became one of the highlights of our stay because of the hospitality and attention we experienced every single day.
Thank you for a great stay. A special thanks to the reception team who sorted out the confusion with our breakfast option. You have made our stay very memorable. Would visit again!
Great stay here. Room was always spotless. Good location for the beach. Only feedback would be us that both the breakfast staff and pool area staff could be a little more tentative.
Excellent location with good amenities in the hotel and within walking distance. Fantastic pool area for families and the linked public beach is an added bonus. Will definitely stay again!
