The turtle watching priority by being a guest is definitely a plus from staying directly in the reserve. It’s not clear at check-in that dinner is not included. At check-in they just mention the time of dinner but it is not clear if it is included or not. Once you’re welcomed into the dining area, only after eating they ask for the room number and to pay

Stay away

Awful hotel both in design and operation. Bedsheets stained and dirty. No space or facilites for hanging out outside room (recognising you are literally in the middle of nowhere). Really poor value for money - this place is almost the same cost as a 5* hotel we stayed at in Oman during the same trip, but offered only 1* service.

Nice experience!

The staff was friendly and the food was great, both dinner and breakfast. The guided tour to the beach in the evening was good and professional. The room was a bit outdated and is soon in need for renovation.

The main attraction is of course the turtle viewing tours. Despite some reviews indicating these were insensitive, poorly run etc, our experience of these was very good. The evening tour was a group of 20, but we felt the guide managed it very well, taking care to interfere as little as possible in the amazing spectacle, often using sub-groups etc. The morning tour was quieter but definitely do both. Hotel itself is fine - nothing special, but does the job well enough. It looks somewhat dated to be honest, but the rooms were clean and bed comfy, which is all you need here really. We found the evening food to be decent and very good value. Breakfast was not so great. We visited in September on a weekday - so I can't speak for what it is like in other times / on weekends when it may be busier.

Pleasant stay, amazing staff!

We only had one night at the reserve. The hotel was clean, very friendly and helpful staff. The room was spacious for our family with 2 children. The free activities turtle watching where absolutely unique. Unfortunately there where tourists not paying respect to the turtles by not following all the regulations. Overall we love the commitment of the reserve to protect the turtles.

This hotel is in an excellent location for turtle watching and spending a day in the beach. The free breakfast is average, the dinner seemed to expensive (12 OMR) and we went to Ras Al Hadd instead. The eco tents need some renovation. Everything was run down and the tent material was moldy in most places. Even when we opened all windows, it still smelled. The bathroom was even worse.

I was worried about going due to some of the reviews but in general the stay was fine for one night. The tent was clean , the bed was comfortable, shower and AC were good. The WiFi was none existent in the tents . The gentleman in reception in the morning was polite and one nice man in the restaurant also but some of the other staff were just rude which was a real shame . The restaurant buffet dinner and breakfast was great could not fault it . Those that like a drink they did not serve alcohol here which wasn’t an issue. The beach is huge and very quiet which was nice to walk along , there was nothing else to do here. Unfortunately we did not see the turtles as we waited around for an hour and half and gave up but others managed eventually saw some . It was ok for one night but they could make this so much better and encourage visitors to stay longer by improving the facilities in general

The reserve is fabulous. This is a great location. The turtle watching was very special. Our guide on the first morning told us all to be quiet and not to use lights from our phones and created a really good ambience for turtle watching. It was lovely to walk together with other guests in silent expectation. Our other guide didn’t lay down the same rules and the group was noisier using phones and lights. Have a consistent standard please! We stayed in one of the Eco-tents that had hot running water and a flushing toilet and the ambience in the camp area is lovely. However, we question how ‘eco’ the tents are in terms of energy use. For example, the fridge was running at full blast whilst it was empty. The air-conditioning unit was very loud and noisy and blasted out air that was very dehydrating. Is there any way that this could be improved? Also if it is possible to avoid plastic water and plastic bottles of shampoo etc.this would help the environment. However, we notice that almost all the water bottles for sale in Oman are plastic bottles so the hotel can only do what it can. The rooms in the tents need refurbishing but probably like all hospitality, Covid has been a real setback to investment in updating things. The restaurant was good, with a variety of choices of food and the staff were very friendly and helpful and kept everything clean. The mocktails were the best we had during our visit to Oman! We had a very memorable stay at the Turtle Reserve and recommend it.

Non ci sono garanzie di vedere le tartarughe. Questo andrebbe scritto a caratteri cubitali. Se andate in inverno e se c’è un po’ di vento, non le vedrete, come è successo a noi. Solo che invece che dire la verità ci hanno tenuti appesi per ore e la mattina ci hanno fatto camminare al freddo senza alcuna ragione. L’hotel è un ostello (vecchio) che si fa pagare una cifra spropositata per un solo servizio, la guida per le tartarughe, che non è garantito. Pensateci bene. L’hotel

Struttura poco confortevole, camere datate e cena non compresa nel prezzo della prenotazione molto costosa. Comunque tornerei in quanto è il modo più comodo e semplice per visitare la riserva naturale, offrendo la possibilità di andare sulle spiagge sia la sera sia la mattina.

Hotel zelf is prima, heel vriendelijk personeel. De schildpaddentour is verschrikkelijk. Je staat letterlijk met tien toeristen om een schildpad heen die eitjes aan het leggen is. Super zielig en fout.
