Al Bustan Palace, A Ritz-Carlton Hotel

I spent a long time choosing a hotel before my first trip to Oman. The first three days we traveled around the country, and then four days we rested on the coast, one night in one hotel closer to the center of Muscat and three in this wonderful hotel. There are no words to describe how wonderful our vacation was in this hotel, its location, service, food, rooms - everything is wonderful, I really didn't want to leave. Now I really want to go back to this hotel and live in it for two weeks, the only pity is that the price is still high) But, despite this, we will definitely come here again to rest, maybe not for two weeks, but for five days for sure! This is the best hotel in Oman!!

This time I went to the niche country of Oman 🇴🇲 and chose the Palace Hotel, which should have been used by the royal family in the past. It is magnificent and has a private beach. 🉐Thanks to Ctrip for communicating with the hotel and giving me the MASIRAH ROOM sea view room on the 6th floor facing the sea. During the few days I stayed, there were very few Chinese people, and most of them were white people. The hotel's Al Khiran Kitchen buffet breakfast was very rich, with a variety of fruits. Unfortunately, the Chinese restaurant China Mood was closed due to the Spring Festival. The sea view Western restaurant The Pavilion was expensive, but the taste was very good and the environment was beautiful.
The only flaw is that Oman is not a tipping country, but the waiters here intentionally or unintentionally give people the feeling of asking for tips. This was not found on the Internet before coming here. Perhaps it is because there are more white people here and they are used to it, so I went to exchange the local currency for this purpose. After a week in Oman, I stayed in a total of two hotels and learned that the porters would 🈶 ask for tips, and when paying the bill in the restaurant, you may need to tip the cleaners, but if you don't care about them, it's OK not to give them, because it is not a tipping country. Girls must experience SPA, amazing~

The hotel has a nice view which is surrounded with the mountain and the sea. The staff were friendly and accomodating, making my stay truly enjoyable. The hotel's dinning options were aslo outstainding with a variety of delicious cuisines to choose from. I will recommend the hotel to my friend.

Hotel is beautiful with own beach.pretty much just relaxing.

Very romantic beachfront property. Got upgraded to beach pool and really love the lobby. Huge, lots of free activities. Clean, nice room with complimentary cake. Breakfast is just the best in Oman.

Enjoyed all amenities and delightful people they have there .

We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. The hotel's maintenance and cleanliness were impeccable, truly world-class. And the breakfast? It was a delicious, flavorful feast unlike anything I've ever had. A well-deserved 5 stars!

Everything is fine!!!

I love this place very much. They are very lucky with the beautiful surrounding nature and they have very tasty food in a large restaurant.

Expensive and rich. Great service. The beach and sea in October are beyond praise.
