Really special to be on a local beach, and be with the locals. Rooms comfortable, clean and adequate. Breakfast was the best in the whole of Oman, with great variety and choice. Roof terrace was a great bonus Help and advice for guides into the empty quarter was absolutely FANTASTIC and i would highly recommend you book thru this hotel.

I have to agree with most reviewers when they say the hotel offers the basics. It's quite clean, though they don't clean the room every day (not an issue for me--I don't clean every day, either!). The hotel is somewhat worn and could use some freshening up, though the exterior was delightful with lots of potted plants and swept walkways.... More

After being picked up at the airport, we got our 'daily briefing' every day during our breakfast with help and hints and as much information as we needed to spend a great day exploring Salalah and its surroundings. The rooms were clean and comfortable. No complaints. No pushy sales. Just extra nice people and good care. We loved it, we'll... More

we stayed (2ads+2kid) for 8 nights in April this year, it's right on the beach, (walk out the gate and across the track and into the sand), the water was very rough with a strong under current, so no good for kids unless they are V. Good swimmers... the rooms are all in two 2 story villa buildings, where the... More

I was with a group of five and we found staff to be helpful to us in finding restaurants and the like. It's on the beach and the swimmers among us were happy campers. It was at the end of a three week tour around Oman so the out of the way location was fine. Rooms were clean; breakfast was... More

We stayed 3 nights in December and found Arabian Beach Villas the perfect location to explore Salalah from. Everyone was friendly and most helpful. Our room was large with all we needed for our stay. Breakfast offered a good selection and was plentiful. The location is magic - right on the beach! With planned improvements such as a cafe Arabian... More

The bathroom gutter oveflows as soon as you open the tap and fills the entire floor. The AC in the room was not working. Despite a complaint, the AC was not repaired.

if you're expecting 5* treatment, this is not the place for you. the accomodation can best be described as basic, everything in the room looks worn out. including the wooden doors and there are no safe box here. but you have to give the staff top notch for service and attentiveness. The place though old is never dirty, they will... More
