We've tried another part of the Shangri-la Oman, This is uncomparable. Excellent view, Stunning beach, Fun-filled pools, and at the top is the Outstanding service. "Excuse my excitment, we are just back from the hotel today". This hotel has probably one of the best staff in all hotels I've been in before, very friendly, professionals and helpful. We spent a...

Three hotels make up the Shangri La Resort, and we stayed at the Al Waha for four nights. When I looked at the room pictures on the Internet, I questioned the star rating and price ($400 US/night). The room was spacious and comfortable. The beautiful bathroom suite was almost as big as the room itself. By the second day, I... More

Stayed 4 nights with my husband and 22 month old daughter. Having stayed at the Chedi prior to our visit to the Shangri-La Al Waha, these hotels are so different. Being approximately 30 mins taxi ride from the Chedi (45 mins from the airport), the Al Waha is definitely a place to bring your kids to keep them entertained whereas... More

This place is a blend between Phuket and the Grand Canyon. Simply beautiful. Highly recommended. Not exactly close to the Muscat city center, but an easy taxi ride. Food was great, but not exactly cheap.

When I go to a Shangri-La resort, I always feel comfortable and pampered. Also in Oman, I had the same behaviours and results. A brand new resort in a lovely position, full of options to relax and living the "sea fun". I will come back ....

My room overlooked the beach. I enjoyed the quiet even though I was there without kids, in the Al Waha which is really the family hotel of the three at Shangri La. Seemed perfect for kids but it was also a wonderful place for us adults. The rooms are not actually luxurious or modern. But the service, the surroundings and... More

Stayed here for three days in Nov 2011. On a short break from Dubai, my overall impression of the hotel was great, the only downside I would say would be the cost. Pros - Great service, very picturesque grounds and setting. The breakfast was decent and a nice choice of restaurants for dinner. Rooms were spotless and well equipped. The... More

My room was overlooking the sea. Spectacular view in the morning when you wake up to the sun and romantic feeling in the evening when the sun sets. Most of the staff are sabahan (from Malaysia) as the hotel owner is Malaysian (Mr. Rober Kwok). Take an walk in the evening up the hill just after the Guard post (at... More

We have 2 boys, 4 and 1&1/2 year old, and they wanted to live there. Lots for kids to do. Great beach, camel rides, water play areas, lazy river, amusement area for kids, day activities AND babysitting service! The evening buffet at the hotel was ok, no big deal, but i'm not a huge buffet fan. We did have a... More
