Jebel Shams Resort

This place has among the worst rooms you can find anywhere. Old furniture. No towels, you have to ask but there is no phone connecting to reception. Moldy and dirty bathroom without any amenities except minuscule soap and cheap tiny shampoo. Heating does not work so you get a small portable unit. Huge disappointment!

Second stay very pleasant from all points of view: the welcome, the restaurant, the accommodations. All the staff are very professional and friendly. The renovation work is magnificent and the location remains unbeatable for all visitors, hikers or not. To discover or rediscover

Fantastic restaurant for an evening meal after a day’s hiking on the incredible Jebel Shams. Whether it’s the Balcony Walk or the ascent of Jebel Shams, Jebel Shams Resort offers a wide ranging buffet experience that will refuel you and your companions after an inspiring days hiking on Omans most spectacular mountain.

Had an amazing stay at Jebel Shams! The staff were super friendly and went above and beyond to make our trip special. The food was seriously delicious—couldn't get enough! The facilities were top-notch, making it the perfect spot to unwind in the mountains. If you're looking for a mix of luxury and nature, this is the place!

Situated way up in the mountains the resort consists of a series of chalets. The chalets are quite large but are a little tired. There is no Wi-Fi in the rooms but you can get it in reception or the restaurant. There is coffee and a fridge in the room but we couldn’t get the tv to work. Food is quite nice and staff are pleasant. Considering its position it is a great place to stay.

Large, VERY basic "resort" conveniently located at the start of the just 2,5km long rutted "would recommend a 4x4 from here - trust me" track that leads to the popular "Balcony Walk" trailhead. The Camp is clearly geared towards large groups and families, and offers different cabins. Everything is easily on the shabby side of things. "Sunset Chalets" are a row of rooms built like a terraced house, you get a bed (hard), 2 chairs, a coffee table, a sofa which might serve as a third bed. THAT's it. Nothing else. It is a place to sleep, do not expect anything more. Bathroom very simple, bordering on primitive, cleary in need of urgend maintenance and cleaning. The "terrace" is right next to your neighbours with a fire pit, but you are baiscally sitting on top of each other at a primitive picnic table. There is a large pool without any frills, and just a few loungers. Restaurant is really simple, buffet style. Again, catering to large , noise groups. Expect the usual Indian staples (admittedly not all bad), but atmosphere and charm of a railway station waiting room. This does not improve for breakfast, either. Everything is crammed into one corner, plastic everywhere. This place appears to profit from its location only, nothing else to recommend it.
