Beautiful resort, fantastic food and an exceptional Club Rotana team
10 Mar 2026
We had a very enjoyable stay at Salalah Rotana Resort and would gladly return in the future.The biggest advantage of the hotel is the beautiful, spacious and very well-maintained resort area with a wonderful wide sandy beach. Compared to the nearby Fanar Hotel, which we visited several times during our stay, Rotana suited us much better. Fanar tends to be much more crowded, while Rotana offers a calmer atmosphere and much more space. Fanar has more animations, but Rotana clearly wins when it comes to comfort and relaxation.Another huge plus is the food. There are many restaurants and dining spots in the hotel – you could practically eat all day long, and the quality of the dishes is very high.The Club Rotana Restaurant deserves a special mention. The dishes served there are excellent and the service is truly exceptional. The smiling and very friendly waitresses had a fantastic approach to our children. I would especially like to mention Kamala, Bindu and Snow, but we also warmly remember Kristine, Lulu, Florence and other members of the team.We stayed with the Club Rotana option and believe it is a good choice if you can afford it. The stay without it would also be enjoyable, but the level of service and the way food and drinks are served in the Club Rotana Restaurant elevate the whole experience. The Club Rotana beach area is also very pleasant – lots of space, comfortable sunbeds, beach beds and the characteristic “coconut” loungers.The only weaker point was the service in this beach area – the waiter was often absent and we usually went to the restaurant ourselves to get drinks. On the last day a different waiter was on duty and the situation improved significantly.As for the downsides, the room standard does not fully match a five-star hotel and it is clear that some refurbishment would be beneficial. The most noticeable issue was the humidity. I understand the climate of the region, but sticky bed sheets were a bit too much. We also had several problems with the room key cards, which meant additional visits to the reception. Cleanliness throughout the resort was very good and the rooms were kept tidy.Despite these minor drawbacks, it was a very enjoyable stay and a place we would happily return to. I hope that despite the current difficult geopolitical situation, the hotel will soon return to normal operation and that guests will once again be able to meet the same wonderful team of staff who create such a great atmosphere there.TIP:A taxi to Salalah ordered through the hotel reception costs around 15 OMR. If you walk outside the Hawana complex and arrange a taxi yourself, it can cost only around 3 OMR – a huge difference.

Amazing stay
03 Mar 2026
What a pleasent stay!I can say for sure we had an amazing time in the hotel. The whole country is just marvelous with lot of things to do and see, but this wouldn’t be so nice without this hotel.To start with, everywhere you go, everything is visit is super hygenic and clean. The furnishing of the hotel is beautiful and well thought of.The restaurants are perfect. You can try various restaurants, our favourite was Silk Road, its a must.Here we have to talk about the club rotana’s facilities, which offers many advantages when talking about dining, using the spa or just picking your room. The club rotana package is not a must, but definitely worth it fo those who love a little extra luxury.The hotel staff is amazing, everyone is super kind and helpful and attentive to say at least.. Special thanks to Sammy! He is the most professional guy we have ever met in the hotel industry. He deserves a huge compliment. Everything we requested was well taken care of as he really understands the guests need. We travelled with friends and family and I admit we had a lot of special request like rooms close to each other, last minute dinner reservations, extra drinks and snacks in the minibar, he always did as we wished.He really made our stay at the hotel unforgettable.To sum up, if you are looking for a luxury trip to Oman, go with the RotanaWould highly recommend!

First class, professional hospitality
28 Feb 2026
This was our second time at the Rotana Resort this year, and we spent two unforgettable weeks here. The organization was professional, the private check-in was quick, and the welcome was friendly. Our room with a sea view met all our needs. All of the restaurants are top-class and friendly, I would highlight Club Rotana, with friendly service at breakfast and dinner, as well as the Sunset Lounge on the beach, where the always smiling Ritu served delicious food. Thank you to the hotel staff and all members of the staff for this wonderful two weeks!
