“Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah presents a bit of a mixed bag; the family-friendly pools and beach access are definite highlights, yet some may find aspects of the property, such as dated decor in some rooms, less impressive for the price point. The resort shines with its lazy river and diverse activities, balanced against slower service at breakfast and room inconsistencies, creating an uneven but potentially enjoyable stay. Ultimately, the Frankincense tour with Mr. Khaled Al Ameri stands out as a truly enriching experience.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Hilton Muscat Al Bandar Hotel from previous guests about their experience

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the beautiful and well-maintained resort, highlighting its lush greenery and inviting atmosphere both day and night. The spacious and comfortable rooms, along with the variety of restaurant options, are frequently mentioned as positives. The availability of amenities like the lazy river and multiple heated pool options contributes significantly to the enjoyable experience; however, some guests have found the rooms to be on the smaller side for the price. Its location near Muscat, though a 20-minute drive from Mutrah Souq, offers a peaceful retreat with a great sandy beach.

Really good Stay at Al Bandar

efficient check-inspacious roomoutdated equipment

Check-in was smooth and efficient. The room was spacious and well kept (I especially liked the separate seating area). The pool area had plenty of loungers and a dedicated kids' section. I enjoyed the easy access to the private beach.

The gym equipment was a bit outdated. There were only two treadmills, and one was out of service with a queue at peak times.
