Kempinski Hotel Muscat

The hotel is located in a very nice residential area not far from the airport. It has direct access to the beach. Upon our arrival we got an upgrade to a bigger room on the last floor with a partial sea view, which was fantastic. At the end of the corridor there was a lift arriving to the restaurants and directly to the garage with many available places. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was opulent. Great service at the beach and pool as well as in the restaurant. Room service and cleaning efficient.

The hotel oozes luxury, but in a very natural and comfortable way. I have stayed in many luxury hotels that are sometimes ludicrous in terms of design, facilities, service and atmosphere. But we felt at home and we had a very special 8 nights at Kempinski. Our room was very comfortable and all of the facilities there were excellent. The welcome to our room with the towel display on the bed, the cake, chocolates and fruit was a very nice touch. I have been to Oman several times and have seen much of its beauty. For my wife it was her second visit and we quite deliberately spent most of our time at the hotel. We ate most of our meals in The Kitchen restaurant, but also enjoyed one meal and an evening of watching football in the Countdown Sports Bar and had a meal in Bukhara, the Indian restaurant. The quality of food and standard of service in The Kitchen was exceptional, with so much choice every evening and also for breakfast. All of the waiting staff were very helpful, but a special mention goes to Jay, who seemed to adopt us on our first evening and provided outstanding service at other meals when we were seated in his area. We're not big drinkers, but we did take advantage of Happy Hour for a brief period at Zale Beach Club most evenings. It's a delightful outdoor space, especially early evening as the light begins to fade. We made use of the Cascade Pool Serenity every day during our stay and both of the pool attendants there were excellent, keeping us supplied with iced water and water melon. The pool itself, the sunbeds and the surrounding areas were all kept in excellent condition and it was a very quiet and peaceful environment in which to be able to relax. Overall it was a memorable stay at Kempinski and the perfect honeymoon.

Private beach which was very clean, beautiful architecture and lobby, excellent gym and decent sauna. Good restaurants, location was very good.

Excellent from start to finish. Breakfast , Dinner, Facilities, everyone who is working at this Hotel from the Management to the cleaners are trained to take care of their guests. specially Mr Mohammad in the Gym who took his time to go through all the facilities, Mr Moi serving at breakfast and Dinner who took extra time to make sure everything is at our disposal, and i must add it was the Best Hotel we have ever stayed at.

Kempinski is a great hotel, very well positioned compared to some other high-end resorts. It's very close to the airport and all the main attractions, while also being right by the beach, so you have the best of both worlds. The staff is very kind, polite, and helpful. The breakfast caters to every taste. My only regret is not having spent more time at the hotel, as I was always on day tours!
