Safari Village Executive Suites

Had a fab stay the use of facilities in Hyatt was great accomodation was clean comfortable and friendly highly recommend this

A bit run down and old. States it is self catering and while there is a microwave and hob unit there are no utensils at all - nothing to cook in and no plates etc,

Half the price of the Hyatt, and you still get to use the Hyatt facilities for free. Buffet Breakfast is ok but nothing special. Someone is on hand to cook your eggs. Rooms are big however bathrooms are quite dated and untidy, basically needs refurbishing. The kitchenette needs replacing, doors loose and again dated. You do get a fridge and hobs for cooking aswell as it is a self catering suite. If you have money eat at the Hyatt, but if your staying at the safari it probably means you don’t have the money. Hyatt is stupidly expensive. They should b ashamed about how much they charge for food and drink. You can walk to many restraunts and supermarket just 10 minutes away. Shopping centre and cinema in same area as the restaurants. Or if you don’t want to walk to far then just go to the candle cafe which is on the beech in front of the safari apartments. Food is cheap and good. They do very good fruit juice and smoothies. Always busy and have a big screen for football. WiFi is pretty poor in the apartments and even worse at the Hyatt, can’t believe such a developed country can’t get good internet service. It’s the same in most places in Muscat. All in all its adequate. Solid 6 or 7 out of 10. Basically just needs a good refurb

Check in was mid pm - I emailed in advance to say our arrival into Oman was 7am. They couldn’t promise our room would be ready but to turn up and leave our luggage. We arrived at 9am and our room was ready. Large room, beach view, clean, quiet, bathroom quite basic. Breakfast was basic but adequate - friendly helpful staff. Full use of swimming pool in hotel next door. Location suited us as we had hired a car, which we could park and leave in car park.

A very warm welcome from the staff. Note this isn't 5 star but it doesn't pretend to be. These are very functional apartments in an amazing location within about 2 minutes walk of the beautiful beach and the Indian Ocean. There is also a fantastic café called Candle Café within 200 yards. The key benefit here is that you are able to use the facilities of the 5 star (expensive) Grand Hyatt Hotel, next door. This takes about 3 minutes to walk to and then you are in their palatial gardens for the fraction of the price! 2 very good bars nearby with good food and live music. This is definitely a budget place to stay they make me so welcome and are so gracious that I have no reason to look elsewhere and nowhere can compete on price and location. Thank you to all of the staff are looked after me and kept my room nice and clean. I would love a balcony and that's probably the only thing missing. Looking forward to getting back again soon.
