Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a wonderful pool area and a cozy, homey ambiance that I appreciated. The service was hit or miss; while some staff were attentive, my requests for towels and a baby cot took far too long to fulfill. Overall, the experience was pleasant, but the inconsistencies in service and room maintenance left me disappointed in some areas.
I had a lovely stay at the boutique hotel, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful marina views. The rooms were comfortable and well-appointed, although some minor issues with humidity were noticeable. The dining options were exceptional, particularly the breakfast and dinner selections. However, the expensive alcohol prices and limited drink service hours were a bit inconvenient.
Sifawy Hotel is a charming escape just outside of Muscat. The clean and comfortable accommodations, particularly the spacious apartments, offer stunning views of the marina. The atmosphere around the pools is vibrant, but the dining experience leaves something to be desired with inconsistent service at the restaurant. Overall, it's a good value for a relaxing getaway, although there are some concerns with humidity and maintenance in the hotel rooms.
My stay at the Sifawy Boutique Hotel was quite a mixed bag. While the diving facilities were fantastic and the scuba staff were truly excellent, the overall hotel experience felt lacking compared to what I expected from a boutique hotel. The rooms, while comfortable and clean, did show signs of wear, and the dining options were good but not exceptional. Additionally, some amenities like the beach access left much to be desired. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, but it could definitely use some improvements.
