Barka resort after a day in the wadis.
Kind of a hidden gem, for the price. Barka is close to several amazing Wadi hikes. This property is a unique concept and the villas are spacious. Far better than we hoped for in booking. Check it out.

Old facility
The facility is very old and is not maintain properly, you can easily see the trash and empty bottles around the area. the pool bar was closed and calling to receive any services taking ages. Breakfast was very limited and many item were not fresh !!! Is not worth the money.

Wonderful place! Staff is fantastic, friendly and very helpful. Some of the amenities were under renovation such as the steam tunnel. It can use some updating. Nevertheless it is a lovely place. I can only imagine what us was like when it first open.

PATHETIC. SOME staff unbelievably RUDE
TLDR : The security guard closed barrier ON roof of my car AND started aggressively fighting with me. Details: We parked outside of the resort as the small inside parking was full. At the time of checkout I was bringing my car inside to pick bags and my family from the reception pickup area. While I was entering the premises and my car was under the barrier, the security guard closed the barrier on my car (apparently to show his anger because the inside parking was full). The barrier hit the roof of my car and it got stuck under it. I honked several times before he decided to open the barrier. When I got out of the car, he approached me and instead of apologizing he started to shout aggresively on me. When I told them I am going to the reception to complain, the two security guards tried to physically stop me. Anyhow, locked my car in spot and brought front desk manager to the scene. He told me that they will take some action. From his body language and from the quality of services at the place, I don't think they will do anything. If the decided to do something and informed me then I'll update here. Others: The other staff was polite. The pool wasn't temperature controlled so it was bit cold. There wasn't hot/warm water in the (disgusting/smelly) shower & toilet area near the pool. It took five calls and few hours of wait for the iron. The breakfast was okay, not great. There were flies on the platter of cheese

Al Nahda Weekend Break
The resort is relatively remote, so sightseeing in Muscat or sitting on the beach is not really practical, but if you're looking to get away and do nothing this is a good option. The rooms are spacious, clean and reasonably well appointed. There was only 1 restaurant open while we visited, it has a limited menu but the food was good, although I'm sure you'd exhaust the choices if you stayed for a week. The spa facilities were very good, I would recommend this for anyone looking for a purely relaxing short break. The biggest disappointment was the grounds themselves, the more you walk around the more you notice the areas in need of maintenance or replacement.

Nice quiet resort
Resort vast but just a little tired. We stayed in low season and very quiet- not all facilities open but management did their best not to let it affect too much - e.g. Set up telephone ordering from pool as that bar closed. Meals a bit hit and miss again due to low season. Staff very good and friendly. Evening entertainment a little dull and bar was popular with locals . I'm sure it's better in high season!

Worst Reception desk ever bad attitude
I would say everything was not too bad but I had the worst stay ever when I came to the check in desk, the reception was so bad the way he treated me as a customer not respectful at all not friendly I would never ever stay in this resort again because of that Omani guy who isn't respecting the customers, I booked at this resort just to relax & have a good time but his attitude ruined the whole stay. Sorry about that but the other nationalities who used to work at the reception desk were way more respectful than that Omani guy...
