JW Marriott Hotel Muscat
Overall, it was a great place; however, the hotel is located in an area with very limited access to city life. It’s far from the city, and nearby amenities and activities are quite limited.

Big hotel with great garden and pool right on the beach. Lovely place to relax. Great gym. Nice cafes just next door if you want to get away from hotel food.
