Ash Sharqiyah South Governorate Budget Hotels

"Went there in December, which should beach prime time for Oman, but had bad luck with sudden sandstorm and cold weather. Of course, cannot blame resort for this, but when you are at beach resort and without beach, confined to your room and restaurant for three days, some things are getting more visible then if you are swimming in the ocean and reading book at the beach. Sea view rooms are worth it. You go to sleep with sound of the waves. Nice terrace and design of the rooms. Breakfast and dinner buffet were good - nothing spectacular, but nice food (though a bit of more variety, especially for breakfast would be nice). Hotel grounds are well kept, pool and beach looks nice, but could not saw them as they look in right circumstances (nice weather, sun, calm and blue sea). Staff are great, so kind and helpful. Myriam especially helped me so much with tranlations to and from Arabic. Taxi from Sur 10 OMR (use OTaxi app) from resort you must arrange before in Sur (12 OMR). When weather is right, I think price for this resort can be OK, though still a bit high. But even with postcard weather, management and owners should absolutely do something about this things: - Unbelievable that except CNN there is not one TV ch. Also TV's and remote could be better, not so cheap. - Soundproofing is terrible. You can only hope to be lucky (like I was) with neighbours. - Mosquito nets are damaged and they are getting inside which I don't want to anyone "

"If you are going to see the Turtles, stay here. It was a wonderful, convenient, hospitable, and relaxing place to be."

"It seemed by far the most decent hotel option on the island. Quite a pleasant place to stay but out of the way and transport is a necessity. The hotel has a decent pool and is close to the beach but in effect about 300 metres from the sea. "
