The setting and grounds give you an indication of the splendour of this hotel before you enter the lobby. It's all pristine. The lobby itself is just mind-blowing, both in terms of scale and decor. The place has the feel of a palace which is how it's known amongst the locals. The pool is wonderful but the service around it is even better. I particularly enjoyed the personal ice boxes with bottles of water. The pool staff were hugely attentive and little extras like ice creams in the afternoon that are kindly handed out - it all makes the experience that bit better. The food was delicious for every meal. You pay 5-star prices but that's acceptable when the quality matches which it did.
The beach is not pleasant. There were tonnes of waste masonry strewn across the sand and it was not safe to walk along without seas shoes on. The sea was entirely pleasant but the journey to it was not! By a country mile, my biggest gripe was the room keys which were good for 1 use, maybe, occasionally. I cannot tell you how annoying it is to get to your room and not be able to get in - every day. This is even more problematic when it's a female locked out, in a swimsuit, who then has to go to reception in an inappropriate dress state for a Muslim country to get the key re-programmed. SORT THIS OUT ASAP!

Everything was great about this hotel, the pool & the beach was super fantastic
The location is little bit far from anywhere if you are planning to walk, but if you rent a car you need to drive around 20 min to the central of oman

Despite being build in the 1980s, the hotel and especially the grounds are spectacular. One of the most beautiful infinity pools... Excellent service with super friendly personnel. Exceptional breakfast with a great variety of food.
It might be time to renovate the rooms, especially bathrooms.

The pool and the gym / padel tennis facilities were great and easy to book.
The hotel is big and communication wasn’t amazing. The WhatsApp service wasn’t always responsive and we were given incorrect times after booking a boat trip and we were expecting the cost to go on the room but when we arrived we were expected to pay then directly: all okay just would have been nice to be told.
Rooms are clean but not spacious.

Everything! the staff, the facilities the F&B experiences...there are not enough words to describe how amazing this place is and how worth it the money spent was.
The mattresses could be a little more comfortable and pillows can be firmer, but that's just my preference, nothing bad about the comfort of the rooms, they are great!

It’s a beautiful building! The lobby is simply gorgeous!
The breakfast was exceptional. There is so much variety and everything tasted delightful!
The pool and the surrounding area was faultless and we thoroughly enjoyed the pool and access to the beach and sea.
Furthermore, the customer service was excellent. Everyone from the management, staff on reception, in the dining hall and the cleaners were so accommodating and helpful.
Overall Al Bustan Palace is an amazing place to visit and we can recommend it enough!
The only downside was that there was no entertainment and it was all very quiet after 9pm.

I suggest to pay much more attention to the food and beverage costs!
Too much expensive, it cannot be that you have to pay for a soft drink the equivalent of 8/9 Euro!!
outside the hotel with that much you can buy 10 bottles....!!!! not reasonable at all!!
