Our stay at Anantara was okay but nothing more. To start with something positive, the staff was really friendly and attentive which was great! Breakfast was outstanding as well and the architecture od the hotel was beautiful. Other things, however, were simply not good enough for the price you pay. Firstly, no one was at the entrance to greet us when we arrived with our car. We had to find the parking and get back to the hotel ourselves which is definitely not standard for a 5-star hotel. At check-in, they just assumed that my name (Alexandra) is a male name and didn‘t even talk to me, just to my partner. I would expect for them to get that this is a female name or just ask who uf us this is. The welcome was overall very hectic, the guy who showed us to our room was friendly, but extremely stressed and rushed. There are no showers at the pool which is not very hygenic. In the evening at the bar, they served the red wine way too warm. Also, you never, ever serve 250ml of wine all in one glass. In the same bar, they played really loud party music which was such a pity and quite inappropriate and somehow destroyed the ambiance. How about some discreet music such as jazz, classical music etc. which fits the vibe of the scenery/mood way better? Moving on to our room, the shelf in the shower where you can put your shampoo bottles was broken and losely fixed. Overall, a lot of things were not 5-star hotel like and disappointed us. If you pay $700 for one night, you can expect more. We would not visit again.
The hotel is located in a somewhat remote area, and it's clearly an old-fashioned resort hotel. The service was excellent; I called ahead to arrange early check-in, and the hotel cooperated smoothly. The breakfast was also good, but the facilities were a bit outdated, and the shower faucets were rusty.
Except for too many mosquitoes, everything else was very good. There was a female manager in the lounge? Or someone in some other position, but her attitude was a bit strange. The staff in other restaurants and hotels were very nice, and I even bought a drink.
I haven't played indoor rock climbing, but I have completed outdoor rock climbing! Butt slides are useful. If you feel that there is no place to step, just lower your center of gravity and slide down. There was water in the cave, and two Gulf guys in the same group fell down. I slid down steadily. Although my pants were ruined, it was really stable and I didn't fall.
I will come back again! P.S. If you book both Alila and Annatara at the same time, find a driver outside the hotel to pick you up, pay attention to the price. I found a driver to pick me up from Muscat to the foot of the mountain, and another driver from the foot of the mountain to the hotel. The price of this part is reasonable. But the price between the two hotels is slightly higher. It costs 20omn to find Alila to pick up from Annatara to the hotel, and 15 for the driver outside.
It can be seen that the hotel is a bit old, but the service is very good, the facilities can also be seen to be constantly updated, the pool is very comfortable, very holiday atmosphere, it is recommended
