The complex is amazing. The food is always good. One problem. The flies n the mosquitoes were very bad. I had to get an allergy injection from the onsite clinic after the normal allergy meds didn’t help the pain swelling n itching. So if you come to this property make sure you bring mosquito repellent and allergy medications. ##### Laura Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nicole E 4 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness This hotel has a spectacular location but feels a little dated and tired. The rooms are comfortable but need a remodel to keep up with the rest of the UAE luxury experince. The food is ok but fairly mid for what you pay (the prices are very high, feels like airport rules as there are no other choices nearby) the amenities eg gym, tennis courts, pool and lazy river are great. I think the kids club needs a revamp, feel more like babysitting vs a kids club experience. I would have loved it to have more of an Oman vibe, felt like any hotel around the world. I do think any luxury hotel brand that comes from the UAE will outpace this place very quickly if they dont update. I strongly recommend getting a cab to Oman Mall, great shopping and food choices. Snow Oman was a must do experience, especially to have dinner with the penguins, it was a highlight of the whole trip. Would visit Oman again but maybe find a different luxury hotel next time. ##### Nicole E Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Carol 23 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I enjoyed my stay at the Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah, Muscat. The view of the sea from my balcony was stunning. The room was nice, but the furniture was a little warped (probably from the humidity from the sea). I had one bad experience with the Samba restaurant for lunch and I would suggest parents not allow their children to serve themselves at breakfast. Some children were using their hands to take foods like bread vice using tongs. This is not sanitary. Also, I think someone was smoking on a balcony below me, as I could smell strong cigarette smoke while sitting on my balcony. That said, I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. Note: there is an adults-only property at Shangri-La. ##### Carol Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laurence 9 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Some equipment like the floor carpets are getting old. otherwise, the hotel is very well kept. Staff is super kind: saying hello, smiling, making way. One gardener came to me, asking if it was ok for him to mow the lawn behind our chairs (he needed five minutes, asked for permission). In the restaurant though, there was a big number of staff but ineffective, running all directions, unorganised. For one evening I had to go in person to the restaurant to make my reservation for the evening dinner, as on the phone, the first person reached refused to passed me the restaurant (?). So I made the reservation in person, at the restaurant. but coming back at dinner time, the staff member had not put my name on the list, and it was a big mess to give me and my family a table. ##### Laurence Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Brian 9 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### HOTEL DOES NOT HONOR ONEKEY BENEFITS I booked a trip here recently and was entitled to a free room upgrade and food/beverage credit as promised by hotels.com. Neither were honored at check in or in subsequent follow up (not sure if this is the hotel or hotel.com's fault), but it is all the more egregious because I was aggressively "upsold" to a bigger room for a fee upon check-in, so clearly the upgrade was available. The good: Most of the staff very polite and friendly. The dining options were good and varied. The outdoor features of the property are generally well maintained. The price is reasonable, but just know this is in no way a 5-star resort, perhaps 3-4\. The ugly: While the (paid-for upgraded) room was spacious, it was SEVERELY dated and not worthy of the Shangri-La brand. The couches and chairs showed many signs of scratches and wear. There were no updated plug-in connections for USB, etc. that you will now commonly find at lesser quality properties. ##### Brian Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jonathan 2 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very friendly staff and location for chilling by the beach and pool. If you are into acrivities then diving a must at the Daymanyit Islands. Food I would say it’s lowest point although ok, lacked variety. ##### Jonathan Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Parag 26 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location, easy access to sister hotels. Good restaurants. They need more beach beds and umbrellas on the beach. ##### Parag Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rajinder 28 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities The hotel was amazing with the best staff ever, every attention to detail was catered. However it did get boring only eating in the same restaurant every night. There were no evening activities on offer so be prepared for many early nights. On the upside - the gym and spa is fantastic. ##### Rajinder Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hao 27 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Anu made our stay more welcomed. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d07672e5-d7cb-40cf-a62a-b7c3de6a37ca-1766850830689.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Hao Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [FourSeasons Hotels in Barcelona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Four-Seasons.0-0-d179992--bFourSeasons.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Borrowdale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Borrowdale-Hotels.s50-0-d6342206.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Mercure Darlington Kings Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Darlington-Hotels-Mercure-Darlington-Kings-Hotel.h888570.Hotel-Information) > > [The Milner York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Principal-York.h148.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Paleokastritsa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paleokastritsa-Villas.d6143101-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [AQVA Boutique Hotel (Adults Only) - Sirmione](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sirmione-Hotels-Aqva-Boutique-Hotel.h18724865.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel Luxembourg Europe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Luxembourg-City-Hotels-Sofitel-Luxembourg-Europe.h15962.Hotel-Information) > > [Al Bustan Palace, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Muscat-Hotels-Al-Bustan-Palace.h4234.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Welcome-To-Fabulous-Las-Vegas-Sign-Hotels.0-l6232224-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Manhattan 6th Ave - Chelsea by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Manhattan-6th-Ave-Chelsea.h1721844.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotelli Suomutunturi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kemijarvi-Hotels-Hotelli-Suomutunturi.h14733239.Hotel-Information) > > [Gracelands Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Gracelands-Guest-House.h40624785.Hotel-Information) > > [TravelodgeUK Hotels in Kingston Upon Thames](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingston-Upon-Thames-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-0-d4380--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Caravan Parks Canterbury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Caravan-Parks.d6047984-aaCaravanParks.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Manor House Marine & Cottages](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Enniskillen-Hotels-Manor-House-Marine-Cottages-Ltd.h11900359.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Gdańsk](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lech-Walesa-Airport-Hotels.0-aGDN-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Es Canar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Es-Canar-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6048076-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Regent Street](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Regent-Street-Hotels.0-l6173536-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Edinburgh (EDI) to Cinisi (PMO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/edi/pmo/edinburgh-to-palermo) > > [Flights from Melbourne (MEL) to Yulara (AYQ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/mel/ayq/melbourne-to-ayers-rock) > > [Copa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copa-Flights.cCM.Travel-Guide-Airlines) ### Packages > [Glenveagh National Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glenveagh-National-Park-Glenveagh.d6086143.Attraction) > > [Sirhowy Valley Country Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sirhowy-Valley-Country-Park-Ynysddu.d624912856783958016.Attraction) ### General ---
