Shangri-La Al Husn, Muscat Photos

Staying at the Shangri La Al Husn Muscat has been one of the highlights of our time in the Middle East. We decided to go for my girlfriends birthday and the team worked exceptionally well with me to deliver a unforgettable experience. Getting to the Shangri La was a bit of a challenge and taxis do not come cheap in Oman. Though it was not challenging I do wish there was a pickup/drop off option for the guests. The inclusive breakfast was wonderful and ordering off the menu assured that everything you ordered stayed fresh. There was a mixup with our order due to a language barrier but the food was still phenomenal. The in room breakfast and room service was a highlight as it allowed you to take full advantage of the room and with the inbuilt heaters in the dining table assured the food stayed hot. The value for money on in room dining was disappointing as an order of a burger and fries came with a small amount of fries, however that was fixed with our next order. The afternoon tea was delicious, highlights being the fromage and watermelon and the scones. Each afternoon tea was different and kept the palate excited. The happy hour beverages were also included and always came with a suprise canapé from the restaurant. In terms of the staycation, it was perfect. The interior and exterior of the hotel is beautiful and the sound of the ocean left you relaxed for the stay. I would like to raise that there was a lot of sealife by the beach which deterred us from swimming in the sea as we had heard a lot about the Omani coast and didn’t have much confidence in the beach patrol and lifeguards there. We noticed some playing on their phones but they were always happy to assist taking a picture for the two of us. I would suggest a more upfront approach when it comes to what you can expect in the sea there. A visitors lounge was also available allowing you to take full opportunity of the facilities till you left for your next adventure.

It's great. Everything is perfect. The extremely meticulous service gave me a perfect experience. There is also free afternoon tea and happy hour. There are many unimaginable benefits.

This is my third stay in more than ten years. The hotel is well maintained. Except for the awkwardness of charging with a conversion plug, everything else is very good.

We’ve literally returned from a 7 night stay at the beautiful hotel a week ago and have already booked a return experience for November 2025! We told staff we would be back and the memories we’ve brought home with us and wonderful experience has made us leave a part of our hearts here at the Shangri-La Al Husn. The hotel is meticulously maintained, spotlessly clean and every member of staff you encounter go above and beyond to make your stay a fabulous experience! The service is excellent as is the quality of food in the Sultanna restaurant. We stayed on a B&B basis simply because I don’t generally consume 3 courses at dinner. Highly recommend the 32 hour cooked beef and the wonderful lamb shoulder which fell apart and like velvet to eat. Breakfast had a great selection and chef also came to ask if there was anything we wanted preparing to let him know! Wonderful. We used the chi spa at the neighbouring hotel purely because we wanted an Asian massage which the spa in our hotel didn’t offer and it was a great experience! We also visited the piano bar in that hotel which is open from midnight, tasteful interior and good selection of cocktails etc on offer. It was Ramadan during our stay and it didn’t affect us really although missed a little wine or beer at lunch time at the beach restaurant. Dress modestly and respectfully at this hotel and whilst out and about. You can wear a bikini at the beach or a swimsuit. Loved the idea of afternoon tea each day - we only sampled once and it was a first class experience only for me it was in the middle of the afternoon at 3.30 pm which if you’ve been in the beach or by the pool you needed to return to your room to shower and change to be respectful to others. Loved the pre dinner drinks and canapés, popular with all the guests, some music whilst enjoying or a band playing would be great only I believe this was not possible during Ramadan so looking forward to a different experience in November. Loved kayaking in the sea and also the cool box with water and juice and the tiny bottle of Evian spray to keep your face cool! The concierge assisted with booking a driver to take us to the mosque and we also enjoyed the boat trip to see dolphins, highly recommend - go for the early trip. Simply perfect, stunning location so pleased we are returning in a few months, cannot wait and am hopeful the hotel will grant our request for the same room please 1364.

If you're visiting Muscat and not staying at Shangri-La Al Husn, you're truly missing out. This resort is nothing short of exceptional — from the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable. Every single staff member we encountered was warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. A special mention to the incredible team at *Mahhara Beach* – they were super accommodating, friendly, and genuinely helpful. We can’t thank them enough for their incredible hospitality. They truly made our beach days extra special. We were fortunate to stay in one of the suite rooms, and it was absolutely to die for. The views of the sunset from our room were simply breathtaking – something we'll never forget. And as if that wasn't magical enough, we were lucky to witness the *release of turtle hatchlings* during our stay – a once-in-a-lifetime experience that added a beautiful touch to our trip.

Wonderful hotel, staff are amazing and so kind and attentive. Wherever you eat, the quality really is outstanding, so much choice and variety. Pool or beach, lifeguards always on hand, as are the support staff, always there with a smile and chat but never intrusive.

This hotel is incredible. The staff remember your names at meal times, the added touch of an ice bucket by the pool with cool water, juice and Evian cooling spray is great! Even the standard rooms look out onto the pool and are spacious and well appointed. The free mini bar stocked with Fererro roches is great. Narayan at the pool is a real asset to the team and he is fab! Would not hesitate to stay here again!

OMG - you will not be disappointed - one of the best hotels and in an incredible location with outstanding service and incredibly friendly staff that just want to make your stay the best ever. Mostafa / Tarek and the team make the dream work and when Said comes round the pool everyday with your cold drinks cooler and cleans your glasses for you - you feel on top of the world and know you are in safe hands.

Just back from a twelve night stay at our ‘residence in Oman.’ This was our sixth visit, which is indicative of just how special the hotel is. During previous stays we have been able to develop relationships with several members of staff from the lowliest to many with much more responsibility in a customer facing role. From housekeeping through pool staff, to food and beverage and reception, we have been made to feel valued and appreciated….representatives from these departments always take time to chat and ensure that any requirements you may have are met. The following quote pretty much sums our experience up “The warmth of Omani hospitality taught me that it’s not the grandeur of a palace that leaves an impression, but the genuine kindness of the people who welcome you into their world.”
