The view
The place is tired and needs refurbishing.Breakfast selection was quite limited .The water to our cabin was cut off twice in 3 days.
The place is absoulutely breathataking like something out of dream ,,,,surrounded by stunning views that feel almoust unreal. Every moment there feels magical, and the most important .....What made our stay more special was meeting some of the local mountain people working at the hotel..They were truly kind ,respectful , and welcoming .This touched me and my family deeply, and it made our experience unforgettable .We will definitely return for another visit .
The room were comfy with an amazing view
This was the worst place I stayed in Oman. It’s 7 km up a 4x4 road (nowhere in the description does it tell you that) and they charge 30 OMR for a return trip which is more than I paid to get to the pick up point from Muscat. This hotel is a complete scam for that reason. You’re a prisoner of this hotel as there is no other way in or out unless you pay their absurd price. The food was terrible, it’s an Indian chef with limited options and since they have no shop and you can’t get any other options I actually left early because I didn’t like the food. The service was bad, I asked reception for multiple things, they said they’d get back to me and often didn’t. They charged me 85 OMR to take me to Jabal Shams. I can’t express how much these guys are crooks. The room was beautiful and the setting is amazing but not worth the crazy prices and isolation.
The location & view
No clear instructions, did not bring the extra bed, reception not answering the phone at 8 pm !
The view is best
Restaurant time can be extended.. the pool does not have a shade
The view from the hotel.The warm reception by the hotel night staff, cooperation by staff for adjusting in the room after arrival and shifting the luggage, the restaurant and restaurant staff.
Lot of cockroaches.Absence of proper help at night, we did not have water supply in room at night, we tried the reception number multiple times but there was no response. Then we wandered throughout the office , security room and the whole campus, also shouted to see if anyone could hear us, but no response for 15 minutes.I suppose this is a.managment issue and not issue of staff not responding. Might be staff were busy. There was no contact number or WhatsApp number mentioned inside room so that one can contact in case of emergency. After all the property is at the top of the hill and anyone may require medical help or other help at night.
The view
The food was limited, and cost very high ..
Stuff respects customers
The road to the hotel was not easy under maintenance and the dinner choices very limited
The view is great, the temperature is 10 degrees less than in Muscat, so good for summer.The staff are super nice.Very big and comfortable bed
We were there on Eid, so it was full and a lot of kids, was impossible to get a place at the pool.The menu is a bit too Indian, I was hoping it would be more Arabic in such a place.The prices for SPA are too much - 50 riyals and more
The view
-pool water temperature -road to each there -coffee!
Pool and view
Spartan rooms, management not following staff activities
Phenomenal views out across the valley below. Stunning infinity pool. Delicious dinner and breakfast. Getting to dinner just before sunset was magical as you enjoyed the views of the mountains saturated in golden light before the valley floor was transformed into sparkling jewels as the city lights glistened in the night mirrored by the clear starlight skies above. Modern bathrooms.
The single bed was not the most comfortable and the bathwater was not quite hot enough.
The name says it all—these bungalows sit high above Al Hamra, and the view is absolutely stunning. The bungalows are well-equipped, and the bathroom with a bathtub overlooking the scenery is a real highlight. We also enjoyed dinner at the on-site restaurant, which isn’t included in the stay but was excellent.All in all, it was a lovely experience, and we only wish we could have stayed a second night!

Amazing view & sunset! quiet and laid-back.Very friendly staff and smooth check-in. Received a free room upgrade and discount on meals.Nothing to worry about the drive if you are in a 4X4. Possible in a car but not recommended.
Not much of shaded area to escape the mid-day heat (except for staying within the room or restaurant area and enjoying the view). However, temperatures drop at around sunset and makes it very comfortable and enjoyable to be in the open (visited in April).
It is really all about the view which is stunning!!! HOWEVER,,,-Pool was freezing to a point where it was uncomfortable and the pool area was poor quality. Insufficient sun beds and umbrellas and everything was showing its age and was cobbled together with nuts and bolts where it just needed to be replaced. -If you decide to pay for dinner, be aware that it doesn’t include any drinks at all, not even water.- 4x4 needed as the hotel is up a 7km dirt track which is very steep and rocky.
I love that the property was perched on the mountain and the calmness of the place. Hiking activities are easily accessible, and after the hike, you can jump into the pool to view Al Hamra village. I stayed in this place twice already in one month.
Later check out.
Beautiful views and pool. Very good restaurant.
The name is the program! Amazing location in the middle of the mountains! We had a cabin in the very first row, so the view was absolutely stunning!For dinner they are serving a 5 course menu where you can choose between different kinds of soup/salad/main dishes and dessert.Only the temperature of the water in the pool was a little too cold for us.
