Hotels near Azaiba Beach, Muscat

This has to be one of my favourite hotels I've stayed at and I can see why people rave about this hotel and why it is consistently rated amongst the best in Oman. The staff are 10/10 and deal with every interaction with a smile. They are very knowledgeable and very clear with communications. The room was stunning with a partial sea view. It was very spacious with a bed that you get lost in. The bed was incredible and I dont think I have slept that well in years. The room itself is very quiet so you really do feel like you are alone on an island. The bathroom was done well and the shower head sprays water as if it was soft mist hitting you but with enough force to have a shower. The facilities were also amazing with a private beach that is clean and perfectly situated and you can walk out when the tide is low. There are also a few different levels you can sit on and relax as well as an infinity pool. The gym is well equipped and there are tennis courts outside and squash rooms available along with a steam room and sauna in both the men's and women's areas. There are 3 restaurants here and personally dukes was my favourite with a great selection of food. And each dish is well sized and there was not one miss for me. The Rib-eye steak was a personal standout. Overall this place is amazing and I will 10000% be returning. Thank you to all

Overall, I had a good stay at the hotel. The property is beautiful, the room was comfortable, and most of the staff were friendly and helpful. However, there were two issues that significantly affected my experience. First, the hotel charged a very large security deposit of approximately AED 1,600 for a two-night stay. This amount was charged to my card without a clear explanation during check-in, and I was not informed in advance about the size of the deposit. As of writing this review, I have still not received the amount back. Better communication and transparency regarding security deposits would be greatly appreciated. Second, the housekeeping service was disappointing, especially on my checkout day. I requested ice cubes three separate times and only received them after approximately 1.5 hours. In general, whenever I requested something, it took a long time to arrive, and I had to repeatedly follow up with the staff. That said, I would like to sincerely thank Carolyn Muimi for her professionalism and support during my checkout process. She took the time to assist me, address my concerns, and promptly send an email to the finance department regarding the refund of the security deposit. Her assistance was greatly appreciated and left a positive impression. While I enjoyed the hotel overall and appreciated the facilities and atmosphere, I believe improvements are needed in guest communication regarding deposits and in the responsiveness of the housekeeping team.

Overall, Fraser Suites Muscat met our expectations. We stayed here twice, including three nights at the start of our Oman trip before Ramadan and two nights at the end during Ramadan. As we arrived late at night and departed for an early flight, a 24-hour front desk was essential. Check-in and check-out were smooth both times. Parking is plentiful, with spacious options both in front of the hotel and in the basement, which is at street level. On both occasions, we were assigned One Bedroom Deluxe Suites with a beautiful view of the Mohammed Al Ameen Mosque across the main road. The rooms are spacious and feature a functional kitchen with a full fridge with freezer. However, we were disappointed that our request to stay in the same room for our second visit was not honoured. The check-in staff later explained they cannot reserve specific room numbers. We wish this had been clarified when we first made the request. This is one part of the service that I found lacking. The blackout curtains are excellent, effectively blocking out both the sunlight and the heat for mornings we wanted to sleep in. The suite also provides a box of laundry powder for the washing machine, which was very handy during our first stay. Muscat’s dry climate meant our clothes air-dried quickly overnight in the service yard. There are a good number of electric sockets, including some international ones, throughout the suite. While the rooms are generally clean, housekeeping was occasionally inconsistent with changing towels. Additionally, the shower area tends to flood due to the floor design, which was a common issue we encountered in other Omani hotels in this price range. The water pressure is adequate, but note that you must turn on the water heater in the room for at least an hour to ensure a consistently warm shower. This should be mentioned during check-in. Both stays were very quiet with no noise issues. Bottled water was given generously and topped up promptly upon request without limits. Our only minor struggle was the air conditioning. We could not quite figure out the wall controls, the system seemed only to cool rather than heat. With Muscat temperatures ranging from 18 to 28°C, the room felt a bit too cold at night, so we opted to switch the unit off entirely.

Very good service. I asked for an early check in at 8 AM and was responded in a very proactive way. It was such a relief after a long flight. The service at breakfast was great. The staff even prepared me a fresh made Chinese noodles.

Decent hotel, rooms were big for nothing really cheap and plain decor fake marble tiles room interior was not matching the hotel price or downstairs lobby, for the price of hotel all amenities and mini bar was chargeable also price of breakfast was not worth the money, the dressing table was a joke unusable plugs socket on dressing table, huge construction site outside the hotel only attraction was the 5 star restaurants on site keep your wallets loaded 😉

Overall, the cleanliness seemed okay at first, but when I lifted the blanket and found a super long hair, I immediately felt the hygiene wasn't quite right, and it felt rather poor. It's supposed to be a four-star hotel, but the room didn't have a microwave or any cutlery. When I brought takeout back, I found there were no utensils available. The refrigerator was tiny, and because it wasn't cold enough, I bought orange juice to cool it down. The refrigerator was also broken; I had to call a repairman to adjust the temperature, but before that, water was leaking onto the floor. Since I stayed for four days, my clothes got wrinkled, and there was no iron to iron them. The bathroom design was terrible; water would always overflow after showering, making it easy to slip. There was no hairdryer either; I called the front desk to borrow one, and they kept trying to get it back quickly, which was strange 😂. However, the staff at the front desk were very friendly, kind, and helpful. It's very close to the airport, quiet at night, and very close to the beach, but my ocean view room had no view at all. Overall, I wasn't very satisfied, but I let it slide because the service was so good.

This was my first time visiting Muscat, and I chose this hotel after seeing so many positive reviews about it. Honestly, the hotel was wonderful — very clean, comfortable, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. What really stood out to me was the amazing fragrance throughout the hotel. The scent in the lobby and especially the corridors on the floors was absolutely beautiful and made the whole experience feel even more luxurious and pleasant. I truly enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back to this hotel again. Highly recommended!

The hotel's location is great, but the service was a bit slow. Parking is available in the B2 underground garage, but there's no direct elevator, so you have to carry your luggage up one floor, which is quite inconvenient. Breakfast on the M floor was just okay; the fruit selection was poor – overripe watermelon, very sour pomelo, and decent cantaloupe. Room cleanliness was subpar, with noticeable black stains on the pillowcase. The bathtub drain was clogged, so I had to turn off the water frequently while showering to let it drain.

The reception staff provided excellent service and assisted guests checking in early. The housekeeping staff checked in daily regarding cleaning. The location is surrounded by restaurants. Overall, it's a very good and clean place to stay.

It's alright. The room is large, but the facilities are quite old. There's a KFC nearby, a bus stop (direct to the airport), and a Chinese fast food restaurant. The breakfast is decent. If it's cheap, it's worth a visit.
