Hotels Near Dhow Factory in Sur

We were upgraded to a sea view room and the view from the balcony was fantastic. Very good sized room too and very comfy bed. The staff were very friendly and courteous. Despite not being particularly busy, the restaurant was very good. The butter chicken with paratha was a particular highlight. We stayed 2 nights here and used the hotel as a base for exploring sur, ras al hadd and ras al jinz turtle reserve. It was absolutely perfect for that, I would recommend people to do the same rather than staying in the overpriced ras al jinz. We had a great stay here.

We spent a night at SAMA Ras Al Jinz Resort to visit the Turtle Beach in the evening. The guide was excellent, and the turtles were just great. The resort is very generous. Our rooms were first-class, spacious and well equipped, with a lovely attention to the detail. The dinner and breakfast were delicious. The whole facility was maintained and beautifully designed. This resort can be recommended without any doubt. We are already looking forward to our next visit when we visit Oman

How to say it, the most important thing to come to this hotel is to see the turtles. We live in a quadruple room. Although the room is a bit old, it has everything that should be there and the health is good. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast is generally the same, there are not many types, and the taste is OK. There are two sea turtles in total, the first at 8:30 in the evening and the second at 5 in the morning. In the evening, the turtles lay eggs, and in the morning, the turtles return to the sea and can see some small turtles born. It is recommended to watch it in the morning anyway, because it is too dark at night (can't turn on the flashlight and flashlight, basically can't see the road). And in the morning, it has begun to dawn and the photo is very good. The little turtle is so cute. Very good experience.

Before we booked our hotel stay, we had corresponded months in advance with the Manager/Owner over WhatsApp. He had helped us with precise directions and answered all our queries happily. The day we arrived, they were surprised to find us there. It looked like we might have been the only guests there. But that didn't affect the service one bit. We were greeted by the owner couple who were themselves visiting from Muscat. We were introduced to Mr. Gopal, the cook, who took excellent care of our pure veg Indian food needs. The owner also helped organise 2 drivers for us - one for our excursion to the nearby Wadi Bani Khalid... and the other for the sunrise view at Wahiba Sands. Both the drivers were polite, charged reasonable and felt safe. The hotel itself looked like a vast property, parts of it still getting developed. There's a whole lounge area done up in traditional Omani style, with lowlevel plush seating, coffee table with a thermos of hot coffee, some dates and a water bowl. The outdoors have ample visitor parking, children's play area, a garden with aloes, date trees and some more vegetation. There also seemed to be some kind of outdoor party area for family functions or such. It was nice to come out in the night to gaze at the moon, the stars and what appeared to be a part of the galaxy. The outdoors were also fitted with sensor-lighting which i appreciated. Our room was spacious for 2 people, the bathroom large with a tub. After we came back from Wadi Bani Khalid, we enjoyed a good soak time in the tub :) The food was delicious for all our meals. We were free to choose from the fruits Gopal ji generously offered. He also made awesome espresso and cold coffee for us. We weren't given an itemised bill though, it was a blanket charge of 7 OMR for 2 people. We wish we had a longer stay here. If you are planning to visit Al Asharqiyah Sands and Wadi Bani Khalid like us, this is your place to sleep the night off. For directions - go off the exit 159 on Muscat-Sur highway. We came via Mwasalat Bus and our driver already knew the hotel, so he dropped us precisely there. Another landmark to confirm the location is the Maha Petrol Pump located at exit 159. The hotel is a 2-minute walk from the petrol pump complex.
