Salalah Rotana Resort

The staff were very hospitable and welcoming. Everyone at Saffron restaurant went above and beyond. Special mention to Chef Masud who always checked on our family to make sure we were eating well. The staff at the beach bar took care of me and any issues I had with our stay. Karim, Mohiy, Ahmed, were always asking if something needs improving. And when I did have an issue (kids club was in less than ideal conditions), they got me in touch with Mr. Salah who was operations manager and quickly rectified the issue. The trick to this place is to use all the campus. Beach at Fanar, eat at Rotana, and if you want a quiet no kids zone drink at Juweira.

Easy drive from airport. Location was close enough to all areas within 30mins drive mostly. Beautiful setting so clean and the staff were absolutely fantastic. Room and bathroom so spacious. Lovely beach bag as a gift in each room which was so handy. From hotel beach we saw dolphins and also sardine fishing takes place end of the beach which was an experience in itself.

The staff was amazing. At the reception Mohammed and Inlda were absolutely delight, enormously patient and helpful. We are so greatfull for all their help accommodating our needs. I red some reviews about the hotel And I disagree with many reviews. The yellow light in the rooms is so relaxing and welcoming. Nothing too bright or annoying. The resort is all about relaxation. I am so glad that there are no “cellphone towers” on the roofs of the hotel, so no one on the phone next to you for 24/7. Thanks goodness neither people in the beach were on the phones none stop. Wifi In the rooms, restaurants, works perfectly. The whole atmosphere is friendly, relaxing, peaceful and welcoming. The food at Saffron restaurant was very delicious, big variety every day. Aqua park is 5 min walk or 3 min min on the hotel bus. Very clean with great slides. Literally, everyone we met or spoke to, were very friendly with smiles. The location is superb. Went to see waterfalls in the matter of 20 min. The hotel is beautifully built. It’s for families and couples. We definitely would be back. Amazing resort!

The reception welcome, check in and assistance was flawless. Atif checked us in and was informative . I had an issue that the water park was closed on Sunday and Monday, 2 of our checked In days. This fact is not mentioned in the site nor of the water parks site. This is one of the reasons we booked at rotana. For this oversight, Atif n manager checked us in early and we had an upgrade to a junior suite. The beach was AMAZING. The current can be strong but there are many life guards. The food was ample but not very tasty for us . Mr James at Saffron was very accommodating with my request. We went to dinner to the Fanar restaurants one of the evenings. A shuttle will take you to the adjacent hotel. The meal was so so delicious .

We spent a week here in Early July, everything was nice and pleasant. It was the transitional season from the European to the Arab tourists season, so it was very quiet. Staff are friendly and very helpful. Rooms are well equipped with (6 pillows, two side sofas, TV, Iron, boiler, towels, robes, mini fridge, safe and free wifi) the pool was clean and the resort provided towels by the pool, which also has pool for kids. Breakfast was very well varied and has many buffet options. The resort provided golf carts (driven by their staff) for transportation inside the resort.
