We booked a stay at Shangri-La's Barr al Jissah Resort in 2007 but when they day came to travel, several people told me to avoid Muscat due to "rain and wind". I phoned the hotel to ask if it was safe to travel, and the person I spoke to said yes. It turns out it wasn't, and we drove through... More

We'd stayed at the Al Bandar previously and had had a meal in the Al Husn, that had convinced us to give it a try. Well worth the wait! If you are looking for exclusive benefits then this is the hotel. We prefer places that cater towards adults/couples, this place does just that by limiting the age at which you... More

The hotel was beautiful located and offered great comfort. The staff were helpful and friendly, their service level was high. The beach and the einviroment is really nice and relaxing. Our room was spacious and compfy, everything was clean and modern. Great breakfast buffet. The food in the restaurants was also good but a little bit overpriced.

Researched websites before booking a sea view room at the Al Husn. This hotel is stunning, there are additional benefits such as private beach and pool exclusively for Al Husn guests and complimentary afternoon tea and early evening drinks. Our booked room was not available on arrival and after 5 minutes of waiting we were informed that we would be... More

I was part of a congregation of more than 120 insurance brokers. We arrived after a very challenging 27 hours trip! Many of them I knew from before. But I felt very confortable because with no effort at all I was able to avoid meeting them if I was in a mood for privacy. What i found absolutely great was... More

If you are looking for the ultimate quiet, relaxing beach get-away, this could be it. 

Everything about this resort is top-notch, from the greeting when you arrive to the pampering you will receive at the spa. 
We stayed at the Al Husn for 6 nights from the 1st May and it was an absolute delight. May is a quiet time,... More

This Shangri-La resort consists of three hotels, if you are looking for a relaxing break then head to the Al Husn which lives up to it's 5.5 star billing. The quietness of the hotel and attentive nature of the staff lead to a very relaxing stay. Little things including: personal cool box by the pool, a member of staff cleaning... More

This is our 3rd visit here and probably our last. Although the weather, staff, food etc are unparalleled we feel the overall experience is nowhere near as good as before. Firstly it was always an adults only hotel and even though children are not allowed at the pool or private beach they are now allowed to stay in the hotel... More
