  Excellent

  Excellent staff who take care of you. Family friendly getaway close to home. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Lovely views. Close to the city so easy to get to. Great activities on the dunes or just watch enthusiasts in the evening.

  Excellent Place surely recommended

  I had been to this place for weekend with friends and family. The place was perfectly clean and tidy. All precautions for COVID were in place including 2 days tents closure. Staff was very helping and courteous. Check in check out was smooth. Breakfast served had lot of variety for vegetarian food. Surely recommended.

  One of the best Dunes resort in the entire Gulf region.

  Dunes by Al Nahda spent three nights at Dunes by Al Nahda from November 24th to 27th this year. I was looking for some peaceful destination to spend my time after a hectic work week in my office. I Googled the place and booked my stay for one night at first. This resort is in beautiful location,the check-in experience and the open reception idea is out of the box thinking. Which gives the first glimpse of this luxury resort. The traditional architect of old Omani tradition is the experience guest will receive in Dunes resort. Open area restaurant Fleur varieties in food, F&B team is highly skilled Mr. Akshay, Nikhil and Guy from Kashmir Mr. Sheikh they are highly guest centric. Offering varieties in food both veg and non veg. Swimming pool and weather is amazing throughout the day. Due to this amazing experience I extended my stay for two more nights, the next day my kids tried the quad bikes. Quad bikes, camel ride, bunker golf, volleyball court, bycycles are things to do here. Mr. Sanjeev Thakur, resort manager is so helpful and explained the idea behind behind dunes by Al nahda, very polite and humble guy, representing the essence of word 'Hospitality'. Overall it's a must visit place, 5 star service, location & staff.

  A little disappointing (but some of the best staff)

  I was so excited to visit Dunes. The idea of it all and the photos I had seen. It seemed like an unusual luxury getaway. The staff are, by far, the best thing about this resort. From reception to restaurant staff to porters and cleaners. All provided a fantastic quality of service - some of the best I have experienced in 3 years living in Oman. They were attentive, helpful, knowledgeable and kind. The tent accommodation is the next best thing. We had one of the spacious Royal Tents. Comfortable beds and seating areas, nice bathrooms. A really unusual type of accommodation and it felt special. Thankfully curfew was on and so the noisy dune racers had to stop and go home by 7pm. The restaurant was offering a good (reduced) menu for breakfast and dinner. Dinner started too late for us and so we had room service and the food quality was excellent. The menu changed each evening. Breakfast was good too. Service throughout was excellent. Sadly what lets the Dunes down overall is its facilities. Entirely understandable that activities could not take place during the COVID restrictions. However, the pool is unusable. It is not heated and even sitting baking in the sun the water does not get warm enough to use. My son was almost blue, crying and shaking after trying to swim in it. The staff admitted that from about October to March no-one uses the pool. Clearly this meant it also wasnt cleaned often and there was a large number of big beetles and other bugs in the bottom of the pool. This meant that at Dunes there was nothing to do. We tried lounging around the pool but many of the sun loungers and parasols were broken, and the cushions covered in bird poo. There was also a big problem with flies/bees/wasps. There are no staff by the pool so if you need assistance, a drink etc you need to walk up to the main reception area. We couldnt settle anywhere without feeling uncomfortable and so spent most of our stay in our tent. Sadly, despite beautiful surroundings and excellent staff I cant really recommend Dunes. There is nothing to do there, especially at the moment. The staff did their best, giving my son rides on the carts used for transporting people and luggage, and giving him a kite to use. But sadly, we wont return to the Dunes.

  Avoid of you can

  The resort is one hr drive from Muscat. The location on the google is slightly incorrect. The access road for the last part is not a paved road so 4 Wheel drive is recommended. The staff is excellent and great service. The swimming pool is cold and not heated and impossible to use in winter months . The pool is also not cleaned neither any one is supervising the swimming pool. The restaurant is super expensive and in fact very limited options. The tents are luxurious but now showing signs of aging . One of our room was having smell from toilet. Their is lot of noise disturbance from the quads bikes from the nearby sand dune. The break fast was okay. Overall the resort is not the worth the money you spend. There are really good authentic Desert camps/resorts in Oman at much better price and facilities.
