Salalah hotellia

Plussat: Very welcoming staff !! And a very relaxing resort ... highly recommended;)

Plussat: Great place, Great People. Is strange to feel to be part of a family in a 5 stars resort. But this it was. We loved the place, the food, and the amazing AIR. You can finally breath after few months in the big city of the Gulf pollution, humidity and sand! PErsonally I also loved the tours into the few archeological spots and museums around. After all, Salalah has been a city joining 3 continents for more than 40.000 years! If you are passionate about the links among civilities and know what to look for - this place is no short of hints!

Miinukset: Salalah is still a developing city. I have no doubt that in the future it will become a tourist hot spot. However a lot of work has to be done. It makes you feel that you need to do your part and help this city be again that beauty that marveled mediterranean, african and indian sailors centuries ago....

Plussat: First the management is good at smalltalk and apologizes but finally the facts matter. The food and service at the three restaurants are good and the service at beach is excellent.

Miinukset: The experiences with the room spervice are the worst possible. Checking in the room there were barefoot traces and sand in the gangway to the garden. The carpet had disgusting stains, the floor of the shower was not cleaned. Staying 5 nights, twice there was no downturn service and we got no drinking water. Stains on the writing table were not cleaned, shower and the toilet also not cleaned. Obviously there is no quality management for the room service. Talking with the room service staff brought no improvement. Sorry to have to say it but Anantara standards don't apply to Al Baleed resort and such room service staff and quality manager deserve to be instantly fired

Plussat: The service is extremely polite and naturally friendly from housekeepers to managers (special greetings to Simo from Al Mina bar from Zosia & Stefcia). A very beautiful beach, wide, clean with gentle sand. You can feel the omani spirit in a subtle way. Our children enjoyed the stay from the very morning until the end of the day.

Miinukset: It is not a cheap place but it is worth it. Try to avoid villas opposite the restaurant unless you like to watch people’s legs and hear the noises

Plussat: Very realxing. Breakfast not too early and available until late morning with a varied selection. Lots of choice in vegetarian food. Generally well kept resort. Staff very friendly with a genuine effort to help.

Miinukset: Furnishings looking tired. Needs updating in areas sun as sun loungers

Plussat: Nice beach, room was very big, clean with good service every day. Silk restaurant nice but expensive.

Miinukset: Unfortunately it is not clear from descriptions on booking that the hotel is an all-inclusive hotel. We would have not chosen it otherwise. From facilities it‘s not worth 5 stars. Super loud entertainment full day and close to our room as well till late in the evening. Breakfast is average, premium beach access only by special all-inclusive package. Pool area disappointing. Main language in the hotel is Italian (often not even English translations). We had as well to wait for our room till 5PM (check in starts at 2PM!)

Plussat: breakfast was good and the location is perfect for vacation

Miinukset: not so many options for drinks and food at the beach bar

Plussat: Beach and facilities; staff very friendly and helpful; nice pool.

Plussat: Friendly staff. Good facilities.

Miinukset: We were placed in a room that was next to the Italian group visitors and we were woken up every night by a guy screaming on a microphone and having a show for the Italian group. All of us (2 adults and 3 children) could only sleep after 12 at night because of the loudness of their activities. We complained to reception every night but nothing was done about it. That was the only unpleasant thing, other than that, the place was great and staff was friendly.

Plussat: Yoga lesson with Radjan

Plussat: We stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed every minute. Nice architecture with spacious design. Pool area with plenty of laying down space. Wonderful wide beach. Very attentive staff and friendly welcoming atmosphere. Food was very enjoyable. Recommend the membership for Rotana Club - made the stay extra special and gives access to private beach area and dining options as well as discounts at spa. Ashok & Navaz kept our room spotless and helped with all needs related to and around our room. We could not try everything offered but loved the things we did ie spa, beach, walks.

Miinukset: Pool area was spacious with big pool but could be more idyllic with some Morell private corners and maybe some plants.

Plussat: The location is perfect, the beach is amazing and the facilities are great. they provide complimentary rides to nearby resorts which is great! Staff was super friendly with the kids and they catered to all our requirements

Miinukset: Nothing really to complaint.

Plussat: Staff. Atmosphere. Quietness. Huge space. Walking areas. The beach. Swimming pool. Food variety. Drinks. Everything was perfect.

Miinukset: On d holiday day on last Friday, there was no alcohol serving. I did not get a notice. It was disappointing but under stable.

Plussat: The staff went out of the way to make us comfortable.Appreciate the kindness of servers at breakfast and yummy omelette by Chef Narayan.

Miinukset: The overall maintenance needs upgrading. Place is looking a bit tiered

Plussat: The best place in the south of Oman

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Allowed us early check in, also upgrade room Clean, beach access

Miinukset: Pillows too soft

Plussat: The beach only

Miinukset: no activities at all & no guidance for the right places to visit ,no group activities. Marketing is very poor.It was weekend & the travel agency in the hotel was taking off , how come to have a weekend & the agency is not working during weekends!!....do we have to visit Salalah during weekdays & take off from work to make sure that the agency is working!!!! Also we wanted to rent a car from the company opened inside the hotel but it was also not working because it was weekend ,so it ended up paying almost double the price to ask to rent a car from outside & get the car to the hotel.

Plussat: Everything was fantastic. Beach, staff, facility all were great

Miinukset: Very limited options in the menu.

Plussat: Right by the beach

Miinukset: Good dull and over priced. We came for overnight trip in empty quarter dusty and tired and had no hot water inspire of numerous requests for repairs only sorted last evening. Discount on room price was not forthcoming and had flight to catch

Plussat: Location & beach club

Miinukset: Fire alarm wake me up in 8 am & no stuff or anyone to tell us what’s going on:))

Plussat: Airport pick-up was not possible so we get reemboursed for our taxi very Easily! The restaurant at the beach is very nice and tasty Pools and the whole hotel area very nice

Miinukset: Smell everywhere in the hotel of weihrauch!! And the smell of the AC in the rooms!! The retaurant in the hotel -food and atmosphere not nice at all. Swimming in the sea was not possible during our stay because of wind

Plussat: Good location, clean, friendly staff.

Miinukset: Most rooms do not have balconies. No alcohol is served from 3-6; having known this beforehand would be nice so I would have bought more at duty free.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Booked a sea view room, however receptionist gave us rooms with very little side sea view with window above some machinery or AC's making so much noise. Despite telling her we booked online specifically sea view rooms she had many stories . We noticed there were clear sea view rooms even with balcony however the staff at reception tried to give us all other options. Don't advertise sea view so that I can then know not to make a booking. seems to me false advertising. Very disappointed!!! Food and drinks are very expensive, $13 a beer?? $6 for black coffee???

Plussat: The rooms were super clean and spacious and the staff was wonderful. Gorgeous pool area and restaurant. I would definitely stay again.

Miinukset: -

Plussat: Great location, Friendly Staff, Delicious Breakfast

Miinukset: Virtually nothing

Plussat: The staff are supper friendly and very helpful and attentive

Miinukset: Everything was perfect

Plussat: location friendly staff

Plussat: The breakfast was excellent, and breakfast staff were very good. The pool staff on today (25/11/2019) was very good, particularly giving iced lollies. The housekeeping and front office staff was very good.

Plussat: Everything was perfect. From check in to check out. Special praise to the bell boy Tareq and the front desk officer, Gerald.

Miinukset: Everything was great. Except perhaps they should have cutlery in the room.

Plussat: Location and staff

Miinukset: No parking designated

Plussat: The place is build in area where there is a breeze and the garden is really nice to relax and the facilities are excellent

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Extended check out time. Very friendly staff. Clean rooms. Quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Short distance from the Airport. Mall attached to the Hotel.

Miinukset: The rooms without balcony are damn cold by default, A/C control in the room did not make any difference.

Plussat: Well maintained with nice comfortable bedding. Here is nothing around this hotel so better bring a car or hire a taxi. Close tothe airport and about 15 minutes from other major hotels.

Miinukset: WiFi was not the best and very slow at times

Miinukset: The sound or noise clearly heated between rooms and hallway..

Plussat: The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are very spacious. The beds are comfortable. The location is ideal. A very good stay.

Miinukset: The food is good, however it is highly influenced by sub-Indian spices, so for example when I ordered a spaghetti bolognese it tasted more like Biryani rice. I think the management should inform the kitchen staff not to add Indian spices to western food.

Plussat: This is a very good quality business-style hotel. Rooms are smart and modern, immaculately clean and of adequate size with large comfortable beds. Kettle provided in the room with complimentary tea & coffee. Toiletries in the bathroom. Iron and hairdryer provided. Breakfast is an excellent buffet with choice of fresh fruit, cereals, cold plates, hot plates, omelettes cooked to order, bread/toast, cakes & pastries. There is a full restaurant plus ground floor coffee shop for light meals. Rooftop pool and gym. Lots of parking in front of the hotel.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Bed very comfy and beautiful facilities

Plussat: Staff accept to extend check out time.

Miinukset: Contempt.

Plussat: The entertainment were excellent, the food very good and good rooms too

Plussat: Facilities

Miinukset: Bit far from city

Plussat: Pleasant surroundings, very clean and well-kept, a very comfortable bed and a good breakfast. The beaches and pools were also very good. The room rate was reasonable. The hotel is very pleasant in a great location but there were a couple of issues that let it down for me.

Miinukset: The lack of information regarding the need to book a table at the restaurant and the fact that the Horizon bar had a misleading sign that completely forgot to mention that it was closed to mere mortals like me on a Thursday and only open to Premium guests. I ate at the Lebanese restaurant nearby ( good food and value) and had a drink at The Island bar ( reasonable prices). The Al-Fanar didn't seem to want my custom or my cash. The hotel was totally geared to all-inclusive guests.

Plussat: Comparing to the photos posted , its not as u can see it on the photos , its a bit old

Miinukset: Too much insects we couldnt even enjoy the jaccouzi outside our suit , staff have poor knowledge about the facilities, when u ask them they dont give u clear info , we asked for food after 12pm at the rest they said no u have to wait till lunch or go to the bar near the pool they will serve u small bites when we went they do not serve food before 3

Plussat: Great location and attractions. Fantastic yoga sessions close to the beach!

Miinukset: The receptionist was very stern with me and I expected that he would reserve me for his money. Also the password of WiFi not working with me.

Plussat: The breakfast was really good. The room was nice and clean. We really enjoyed the staff. They helped us to arrange a driver to take us around.

Miinukset: The air conditioner had a small allowable temperature range

Miinukset: I am happy with booking.com as well as property service. Thank you for assistance us.

Plussat: Location and staff attitude

Miinukset: Exhaust fan in toilets are noisy.

Plussat: Spacious and clean room. They let us early check-in. Close to Sultan Quaboos mosque, and local restaurants. Kind staffs. Reasonable price! Fast WiFi.

Miinukset: Breakfast is ok

Plussat: Clean and near to big masjid . The staff very good and kind

Plussat: The photos are not the real hotel. It is very old and the beach is so dirty.

Plussat: The aircon is very good, it doesn't blow on the bed, and it doesn't require a room card. So basically it stays on all day long if you wish so, and it's very nice to come into a cool room after being outside on the heat. The bed is cozy and provides excellent quality of sleep. The area is very quiet, you can sleep till 12pm without a single noise from outside. The hotel is bikini-friendly. There is a place for table tennis, free of charge, also beach volleyball (and people were playing). The pool is quite good, only I'd wish it were a bit deeper; anyway this is the first pool which was almost able to replace the sea for me, and it's a great achievement for a pool. There is decent amount of sunbeds, quality of them is just fine. Most sunbeds are located next to the umbrellas giving the shadow, and you can move the sunbed in and out the shadow. The food, though horribly expensive, has decent quality. Breakfasts are VERY good. Within 30 minutes of walk outside the hotel one could reach the local restaurants; most of them were closed though. There is not much opportunity to get anywhere else except them, so the guests are very limited in choice when it comes to food.

Miinukset: Everything is horribly expensive. I was continuously getting frustrated from the prices on food, coffee, drinks, everything. The diving center seems deserted. The person who was there could only get me on the phone with someone who actually offered something, and you don't get any advertising information like what are the dive sites, their maps, what kind of marine life you can see there, nothing of this kind, simply give us your money and come diving. The start of morning diving is 8am which is rather early, considering there is no dive spots with such marine life to be seen only in the mornings. The beach is rather far from the hotel and pool territory. Okay, far here means maybe 200m, but you need to walk it through the sand, and there is no infrastructure on the beach itself. This can be both plus and minus though, as it gives the feeling of the wild beach. However the view to the sea is not spectacular; a bit to the right side you can see a big loading dock, and it kinda ruins the view. The sea entrance is rather pleasant, there is a short distance of stones under your feet but nothing horrible. The lunch time and dinner times are not the best, you can get hungry between them and there will not be much to satisfy your hunger.

Plussat: A very relaxing place. Calm n quiet. Natasha was kind enough to give a good sea facing room. Rajeesh the staff at the bar made excellent cocktails for us. Overall a great experience n friendly staff.
