Crowne Plaza Resort Salalah

Very nice hotel beautiful location

The rooms are a bit small for this class of hotel and so is the bathroom! The service and staff are top. The location is perfect and the beach too. Restaurant Ocean Blue has excellent cuisine and is very well positioned next to the beach!

Salalah hardly has new resorts, so it was difficult to choose. Guests are mostly 55+ from German, Polish and Czech nationality. Best pick is probably the neighbouring Anantara Al Baleed, but price is double. Although when you pay € 222 per night for a simple very dated old room including breakfast it should be compensated with excellent and personal service. Compared to what you get for this in Abu Dhabi it is a pity. They claim to be a 5 star property, but this is the worst 5* hotel we ever stayed in. Pros + Complimentary airport Shuttle with friendly driver. + Early arrival but room was ready in half an hour without any charge. + Beachfront Location. + Ocean Beach House with restaurants and a roof terrace with amazing sun set view; this is probably their best asset. Cons - Old building, lobby, furniture, rooms, beds & mattresses, dated bathrooms with lots of wear and tear (showering in a bath with shower curtain is not from this century) and ugliest ‘pool deck’ ever. - We were supposed to be informed when the room was ready, but the front desk forgot us. - No assistance with bringing suitcases to the room. - Staff in general (except serving staff in OBH) is not very friendly, welcoming and trained. There is lack of management; the GM was never on the floor to see what’s going on. Even the FO manager looks like he doesn’t like his job and the property. - Bathroom light was out of order (all 3!) and when we ask to repair this, again someone looked very agitated we even asked. - [ ] Understaffed; Long cues in front of the beach bar as there was only 1 bar tender. - [ ] Beach towels very difficult to find. I had to ask to 3 different staff members and they only pointed me into the direction pfff. - [ ] No staff and service at the beach. - [ ] Dust in rooms, bathroom bin not emptied. - [ ] Choice for breakfast is very limited, no fresh juices, lots of things on the buffet are not being refilled after 09.45. Breakfast ends at 10.30. - [ ] The beach and ocean itself is nice, but there should be daily cleaning from the cigarette butts, plastic lids and tiny branches. - [ ] Most beach guests claim 2 sun loungers per person. - [ ] F&B is very very expensive.
