“Cruise-like seaside stay, private beach”
Crowne Plaza Muscat resembles a six-storey cruise ship by the sea, about thirty kilometres from the airport, and its private beach is the standout alongside a photogenic infinity pool and stunning sunset views. Rooms are clean with comfortable bedding, sea glimpses even from non-view categories, and staff are warm — one front-desk member granted an upgrade, another allowed a four o'clock checkout for an evening flight. Breakfast is rich and tasty. Cautions: check-in and out run a little slow, a stained slipper was swapped without apology, the site sits far from the city so a car helps, hotel restaurants are dear, and a sizeable card deposit is blocked at arrival.
