Perfect location to visit Al Hamra

A picturesque location, once you navigate up the mountain side. Francis was so helpful and provided helpful recommendations to areas of visit. The spa is not fully operationally yet but worth a visit. However the real reason to stay in the View from the rooms and pool it is stunning. if you are in Al Hamra this is well worth the cost

Wonderful view and hospitality

We had an amazing time staying at The View. The property certainly lives up to its name, we loved watching the sun Rise and set as book ends to our adventures in the area whilst using the property as an extremely comfortable base camp! Hospitality was first rate with all staff being very helpful and working to ensure we had a great time.

Als erstes (hat nichts mit der Unterkunft zu tun): viele Deutsche und beinahe alle unangemessen angezogen (Hotpants, Shorts) - ihr Lest so viele Rezensionen, bitte Lest auch einfach Mal Reiseblogs über das Land, das ihr bereits. Definitiv nicht ohne Allrad erreichbar, insb. Sobald es ein wenig regnet. Ausblick überragend. Zimmer schlicht (4 Sterne bei uns eher nicht, der Ausblick entschädigt). Service überwältigend, insb. Francis und sein Team im Restaurant. Allerdings schlechte Auswahl für Vegetarier, sogar das gleiche Essen an zwei Abenden (Francis hat sich dann ins Zeug gelegt und uns eine Alternative gezaubert). Trotzdem ist das Abendessen mit 12 Rial pro Person (ohne Getränke, circa 28€) für die Qualität viel zu teuer. Und leider Baustellenarbeiten (Nachteil der Zwischensaison - in der Hauptsaison wird es aber sicher Recht kalt und insb der Pool (Highlight!!) wird dann zu kalt zum schwimmen sein. Was einen zudem bewusst sein muss: fast 2h zum Snakecanyon, 1,5h zum Jebel Shams und jedes Mal die Piste wieder hoch und runter. Gibt sicher bessere Orte als Ausflugsziel, aber wir würden für den Blick und die Abende auf der Terrasse wiederkommen, uns jedoch etwas mehr Essen mitbringen ;)

Breathtaking location. Great staff! Nice rooms! Lovely pool and restaurant. But the best are the location and the views. Be prepared: you need a 4WD to get to the property, they also pick you from Al Hamra though against a high fee. Try to be there before sunset and get up for the sunrise, it’s worth it!

L'endroit porte bien son nom. La vue y est magnifique. Il serait pertinent de mentionner que l'accès à l'hôtel se fait uniquement par un chemin praticable en 4X4. Cela n'a pas été un problème pour nous mais nous avons été témoins de gens ayant loué une berline et incapable de se rendre à l'hôtel. Ceci dit il s'agit d'un bel hébergement avec un bon rapport qualité prix. L'offre de nourriture (petit déjeuner et dîner) est très bien. Le personnel est courtois (comme partout à Oman) et très professionnel.
