"Homey and serene"

A verified traveller stayed at Sheraton Oman Hotel

5/5 Excellent

"We had a great time at this hotel! They have thought of everything! The checking to the turndown service and little gifts to the little snacks at the pool throughout the day such as ice cream and lemonade. Everything is so close the pool and beach were amazing and probably the best sea I've swam in! The dining options were limited and we would have preferred more options on the menu! It's also pretty pricey but luxury! Checkout was perfect and Sumnina was great! All the other staff were also super friendly and can't fault the attention to service in restaurants poolside and also room cleaning "

A relaxing and enjoyable stay in Muscat.

"Very enjoyable and relaxing stay at the Millenium Grand. The hotel is well decorated and maintained. All of the staff were friendly, courteous and helpful. The room allocated was very spacious, comfortable and cleaned everyday. The bed was very comfortable. A plentiful supply of bottled water was provided by the hotel. The breakfast provided was very good with hot and cold options available. I used the pool area which was spacious and very good and also the gym which was well equipped and air conditioned. The hotel is attached to a large shopping mall which has a number of cafes and restaurants. A very good location for getting around Muscat (by taxi). I would recommend the hotel to anyone visiting Muscat for a relaxing few days. Thank you."

"I recently stayed at the Mandarin Oriental Muscat and it was an unforgettable experience. Every detail was impeccable, but what truly made my holiday special was the outstanding service from the team. Maryam and Sarah Jane made every breakfast a delight with their warmth and attention to detail. By the pool, Humprey went above and beyond to ensure we were always comfortable and well looked after. A special mention to Madai at Essenza restaurant, who made our dining experience truly memorable with exceptional recommendations and genuine hospitality"
