Great staff and very clean room with high end toiletries.
The room was amazing with a good view. Club lounge and staff were superb. The only thing stopping a 5 star rating was the service at breakfast and in the evening at the main restaurant, which was slow at times.
This was our second stay at the Muscat Intercontinental and this time again it was a very happy experience at every level: location, welcome, cleanliness, food, and importantly every single member of staff we dealt with. Too many to name but everyone at the reception desk, at The Musandam and other restaurants, at the Club Lounge. All faultlessly pleasant, professional and helpful.
All of this creates a gentle vibe and environment and we hope to visit again soon.
Great stay here. Room was always spotless. Good location for the beach. Only feedback would be us that both the breakfast staff and pool area staff could be a little more tentative.
Thank you for a great stay. A special thanks to the reception team who sorted out the confusion with our breakfast option. You have made our stay very memorable. Would visit again!

The hotel was fantastic and in a really good location where you can enjoy the beach and you have restaurant and cafe options nearby for lunch and dinner (taxi's in Oman are very expensive). The room was so clean, spacious and comfortable, and the facilities were so good. The breakfast buffet was amazing with such a variety of options to eatnfrom fresh fruits to freshly cooked eggs. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming. The stay overall was 10/10 and I would stay again!
Fantastic stay and we were totally looked after as we arrived extremely early in the morning and was offerred another room till ours was ready. So much appreciated after a long overnight flight. The staff in the Club room were so lovely helpful and friendly.
Being vegan i had to guess what i could eat at mealtimes and it would help if meals were clearly labeĺed but fruit and salad was always available.
The hotel was spotless and our room very clean
Dates and tea at reception was lovely. Complementary water was very nice. Anytime we called for housekeeping or room service, they arrived promptly. Manager checked us in. Very gracious.
We loved our stay here! The staff was phenomenal, the breakfast buffet was unmatched, and the rooms were super clean and very comfortable. Highly recommend!
