Hotels With bar in Ad Dakhiliyah, Oman

Our stay at Anantara was okay but nothing more. To start with something positive, the staff was really friendly and attentive which was great! Breakfast was outstanding as well and the architecture od the hotel was beautiful. Other things, however, were simply not good enough for the price you pay. Firstly, no one was at the entrance to greet us when we arrived with our car. We had to find the parking and get back to the hotel ourselves which is definitely not standard for a 5-star hotel. At check-in, they just assumed that my name (Alexandra) is a male name and didn‘t even talk to me, just to my partner. I would expect for them to get that this is a female name or just ask who uf us this is. The welcome was overall very hectic, the guy who showed us to our room was friendly, but extremely stressed and rushed. There are no showers at the pool which is not very hygenic. In the evening at the bar, they served the red wine way too warm. Also, you never, ever serve 250ml of wine all in one glass. In the same bar, they played really loud party music which was such a pity and quite inappropriate and somehow destroyed the ambiance. How about some discreet music such as jazz, classical music etc. which fits the vibe of the scenery/mood way better? Moving on to our room, the shelf in the shower where you can put your shampoo bottles was broken and losely fixed. Overall, a lot of things were not 5-star hotel like and disappointed us. If you pay $700 for one night, you can expect more. We would not visit again.

“Golden Tulip is a well-located hotel with clean, spacious rooms and friendly staff. Breakfast was good and the rooftop restaurant offered nice views. Some areas could use better maintenance, but overall it’s a comfortable stay with great hospitality.”

Definitely a hotel worth a special trip. You need to drive a four-wheel drive to get there, and there are many curves along the way. Valleys, cliffs, sunrises, sunsets, stargazing, all kinds of scenery are top-notch. The restaurant is also good. The chef’s Hunan steamed fish with chopped pepper is something he learned from the Hunanese.

It can be seen that the hotel is a bit old, but the service is very good, the facilities can also be seen to be constantly updated, the pool is very comfortable, very holiday atmosphere, it is recommended
