Convenient and easy for seeing the turtles. The room was okay and all that’s needed. The organisation was slightly odd, a bit too much time waiting in a lobby whilst waiting for any kind of instructions. Arrived when told for the tour and were waiting for atleast 30 minutes before any clarity.
Rapporto qualità/prezzo: zero. Assolutamente sproporzionato al servizio offerto.
Ho soggiornato nella stanza “carapace” che erroneamente è segnata su Expedia come vista spiaggia, mentre invece c’è una sola finestra piccolissima vista parcheggio. La camera è datata, piena di moscerini e l’odore è stantio. Letto durissimo, non è un king size ma sono due letti uniti con legno centrale. Si trova nel blocco centrale, molto lontano dalle luxury tent che sono invece separate dall’edificio.
Per cena non c’è possibilità di scelta: costa 12 OMR a persona ed è a buffet con inclusa solo l’acqua, il resto è a parte. Pagare quindi 54€ in due é veramente un furto.
L’unico vantaggio di soggiornare qua è partire nel primo turno per vedere le tartarughe ma forse conviene aspettare mezz’ora in più e pagare un terzo della cifra.. probabilmente con pari confort o superiori. C’è una guest house a 5 minuti di distanza, se dovessi tornare andrei lí. Per fortuna siamo stati fortunati nell’osservazione delle tartarughe, il ragazzo del tour è stato gentilissimo ma l’esperienza non può dare punti in più ad un soggiorno pessimo.

Cadre exceptionnel. Le guide est top. Par contre, l'hôtel a besoin d'une vraie rénovation a l'intérieur à tous niveaux. La literie est catastrophique. On vient pour le cadre exceptionnel et voir les tortues est unique mais il faut aussi un minimum de qualité d'accueil au vu du prix.

Kult å se skilpadder, fine rome, slitsomt med en gjeng fra Asia som ikke klarte å være stille på natta og på morningen, de skrek over til hverandre i hyttene sine og dessverre var det ingen vakter som kunne be de være stille
Personal: Empfang an der Rezeption war unfreundlich - wir kamen um 13:50 Uhr an und wurden erst einmal mürrisch darauf hingewiesen, dass Check In erst ab 14:00 Uhr möglich sei. Auch die Guides waren unfreundlich. Nur das indische Restaurant- Personal gab uns das Gefühl, willkommen zu sein.
Das Zelt war renovierungsbeduerftig.
Das Frühstück war unmöglich. Man konnte zwar ein Omelett bestellen und Toastbrot bekommen, aber das war es schon. Die Auswahl und Wuslitaet war unbefriedigend.
Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist überhaupt nicht gegeben.
Langsam bräuchte das Hotel eine Renovierung. Das Zimmer war praktisch ohne Fenster und dunkel, die Dusche hatte überhaupt keinen Wasserdruck.
Es ist ein Monopol wegen den Schildkröten und mein erster Gedanke nach dem ersten Anblick des Zimmers war: die Zeit bzw die Nacht wird hoffentlich schnell vergehen. Das Hotel ist also keine Reise wert, die Schildkröten jedoch schon.
Vi havde nogle gode dage på hotellet - personalet var venlige og arbejdsvillige selvom de ikke alle forstod engelsk lige godt. Gode faciliteter og udflugter til stranden for at se skildpadderne - guiderne var super gode og fortalte og svarede på alle vores spørgsmål. På værelset kunne badeværelset godt bruge en opgradering - brugseren var utæt så der var ikke tryk på vandet og drænet kunne ikke følge med - heller ikke i håndvasken. Ellers var det generelt slidt på badeværelset. Resten af værelset var godt. Akustikken var dårlig på fællesområder og det kunne også høres på værelset om aftenen og natten.
Morgenmaden var meget god og det var blandt andet mulighed for at bestille 4 forskellige slags æg.
Til sidst burde hotellet lave nogle tiltag for at holde stranden ren og fri for affald. Evt bede alle tourister om at tage noget affald med retur efter en guidet tur.
Chambre spacieuse on dort dans un véritable musée , 2 créneaux pour voir les tortues un à 20h et et l’autre à 5h du matin qui sont compris dans le prix de la chambre qui se situe à 2 minutes en mini bus
Petit déjeuner acceptable

Très mitigé !
+ : L’expérience avec les tortues est juste exceptionnelle, bien que ce soit assez soutenu au niveau du rythme ! Être sur place vous permet de profiter de vous reposer et d’être aux premières loges et prioritaire. Le personnel est très agréable, organisé et respectueux !
- : l’hôtel en lui même ne vend vraiment pas de rêve, les chambres sont sommaires. Le buffet du dîner et petit déjeuner n’est pas très varié.
L’état de la plage à certains endroits fait vraiment peur, vous pouvez trébucher à tout moment sur une canette une planche ou une bouteille en plastique. Prenez un sachet avec vous pour ramasser, je ne comprends pas comment on peut s’appeler « réserve » et laisser la plage dans cet état, ils devraient obliger chaque personne à ramasser des déchets au passage pour que cet afflux de touristes sur la plage ait un impact positif. Les guides devraient en faire de même au lieu de donner un coup de pied dedans. Au musée ils indiquent que les tortues meurent avec les déchets c’est complètement contradictoire.
Non ci sono garanzie di vedere le tartarughe. Questo andrebbe scritto a caratteri cubitali. Se andate in inverno e se c’è un po’ di vento, non le vedrete, come è successo a noi. Solo che invece che dire la verità ci hanno tenuti appesi per ore e la mattina ci hanno fatto camminare al freddo senza alcuna ragione.
L’hotel è un ostello (vecchio) che si fa pagare una cifra spropositata per un solo servizio, la guida per le tartarughe, che non è garantito.
Pensateci bene.

Struttura poco confortevole, camere datate e cena non compresa nel prezzo della prenotazione molto costosa. Comunque tornerei in quanto è il modo più comodo e semplice per visitare la riserva naturale, offrendo la possibilità di andare sulle spiagge sia la sera sia la mattina.

The turtle watching priority by being a guest is definitely a plus from staying directly in the reserve.
It’s not clear at check-in that dinner is not included. At check-in they just mention the time of dinner but it is not clear if it is included or not. Once you’re welcomed into the dining area, only after eating they ask for the room number and to pay
Parfait, les tentes sont très bien équipées et confortables. La proximité de la réserve des tortues est un plus.
Petit déjeuner buffet très bien et varié.
Awful hotel both in design and operation. Bedsheets stained and dirty. No space or facilites for hanging out outside room (recognising you are literally in the middle of nowhere). Really poor value for money - this place is almost the same cost as a 5* hotel we stayed at in Oman during the same trip, but offered only 1* service.
The main attraction is of course the turtle viewing tours. Despite some reviews indicating these were insensitive, poorly run etc, our experience of these was very good. The evening tour was a group of 20, but we felt the guide managed it very well, taking care to interfere as little as possible in the amazing spectacle, often using sub-groups etc. The morning tour was quieter but definitely do both.
Hotel itself is fine - nothing special, but does the job well enough. It looks somewhat dated to be honest, but the rooms were clean and bed comfy, which is all you need here really. We found the evening food to be decent and very good value. Breakfast was not so great.
We visited in September on a weekday - so I can't speak for what it is like in other times / on weekends when it may be busier.
