Mandarin Oriental, Muscat

We absolutely loved our stay. The Suite room was spacious, elegant, and very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent, and once we discovered the Rawya Restaurant, the variety and quality were fantastic. The pool was excellent — clean, well-maintained, and a great place to relax. The Kids Club was also brilliant; our children loved it. The staff’s knowledge of the local area was impressive, and they were consistently helpful and attentive throughout our stay. A special shout-out to Krish at the 258 Club — his warmth, professionalism, and genuine care made a real difference. He’s an absolute star!

Another stunning, brand new Mandarin Oriental property! The design is breathtaking, blending traditional Omani patterns with a clean, elegant simplicity. The staff were warm, enthusiastic, and full of energy, though a few of our requests and one food order were mixed up — nothing major, and understandable for a hotel that only opened a year ago. Our room was spectacular: spacious, beautifully detailed, and impeccably maintained by the excellent housekeeping team. We opted for a city and mountain view, which we loved. The location is fantastic — right by the public beach promenade, in a district where many embassies are located and expats tend to live. We rented a car and really appreciated the secure basement parking, which kept the car cool and offered direct lift access to our suite. Overall, a luxurious and memorable stay, with just a few service hiccups that we’re confident will smooth out with time.

Location is excellent Hotel is brand new so everything is in top condition. The rooms are great (we had the ocean view deluxe). The pool is excellent, cooled and clean. The breakfast was high quality and had a good variety. The water pressure is excellent. Every detail has been thought through.

The hotel provided an exceptional experience, combining elegance and comfort seamlessly. The facilities were immaculate, catering to every need with a touch of luxury. The reception staff were outstanding, exuding warmth and professionalism, ensuring every guest felt welcomed and attended to with impeccable attention to detail. Truly, a stay to remember.

This is not my first stay at the Mandarin, and it certainly won’t be my last. All the staff are amazing, and I am truly grateful for their kindness. The hotel is clean, the location is great, and all the facilities are well maintained. I look forward to my next stay 🙏🏻
