13th Time and Still love it!
By ,
Brilliant; this was my first time back after the 2 year renovations. The service is fantastic; in fact the best service I have ever experienced at any hotel I have been too. Very clean. Very good location only 15 minutes away from Muscat and 25 mins from Muscat Airport. Lovely beach. Many people say that it is not good value for money but think about it is a 5 star hotel so in that sense the rates are incredible. In France a 3 star hotel can cost that much. This is far better than the Shangri Lar. The service is better because of the exellent selection process (I have talked to the manager about this!) It is cleaner at the Al Bustan because oof the staffs decication (most have been there for more than 5 years. The location is almost exactly the same. the Al Bustan is about 5 minutes closer than the Shangri La yet still you cant see the city like in Dubai. Value is far better do not ask!! The sports facilities are fantastic and the tennis great with PBI instucters (the best in the world) The Al Bustan manages to be Modern yet Traditionional.

The Palace is opening soon
By ,
I have stayed with my wife three times at the Al Bustan Palace in 2000, 04, and 06. Everytime we have returned to the hotel thanks to its outstanding service and exceptional facilities. We have just heard through friends the hotel will reopen in September and I called and they are no taking reservations. We cannot wait for our next stay and see all the changes promised.

Pure magic .........
By ,
We spent Christmas 2006 & New Year in the hotel. It was magic, the staff could not do enough for you, the service was attentive, the food was wonderful and all your needs were catered for. Rooms were large and luxurious. We can't wait for the place to reopen to go again. The hotel is out of the way but the shuttle bus service to Muscat town was efficient. It was nice to be in a hotel that demands a certain dress code (no shorts in the lobby). Children were welcome but the number of kids allowed at any point in time was limited and the parents of unruly children were reminded to take care of their offspring. The resturants in the hotel offered such a variety of food (seafood, international buffet, Chinese food, French cuisine) that there was no need to look for a restaurant outside (having said that: there are lots of very good restaurants in Muscat so it is worth it to venture outside of the hotel).

Lucky timimg..Hope To return...
By ,
Disliked. Too far to walk to anywhere outside hotel in the June heat. Liked:- Loved the attentive service in this great hotel while in low season. Unable to move far outside, we were teated as honoured guests in this beautiful palace. Disliked - Too hot to do many outdoor excursions. Be careful who you book them with. We were put in dangerous conditions - not by the Hotel - but the tour company staff reccomended by our holiday booker, working a foreigner! Naturally - ladies are expected to adhere to the local dress code - unlike in Great Britain, where we CELEBRATE other folks customs! Despite trying to cover up it WAS VERY WARM, and although I am 55 MY exposed sections were still leered at...not that I minded... but the Omani ladies did!
