Comfortable Pods

“During my stay, I enjoyed the unique pods which came with floor-to-ceiling windows offering an very nice view of the valley. The king-size bed was wonderfully comfortable, and the en-suite bathroom featured an inviting bathtub, also with a view. It made my nights feel luxurious, especially with the twinkling lights of Al Hamra visible right from my room.” view full review

Inviting Infinity Pool

The View offers breathtaking sights that are absolutely stunning, especially at sunset. The pods provide a unique experience with spacious balconies and large windows to enjoy the views. However, the service needs significant improvement, as it was often difficult to find staff when needed. The dining experience was all too mediocre for the high price, which is unfortunate given the beautiful setting.

The infinity pool is beautiful but small, which might not accommodate all guests comfortably. The overall amenities do take advantage of the stunning views, however.

The View Oman Hotel offers breathtaking views that make the drive up worthwhile. The pods are comfortable and clean, providing a unique experience. The food is good, with plenty of options, but it could be more luxurious for those seeking a higher-end stay. Overall, it's a tranquil and beautiful escape into nature, though the access road makes for a challenging journey.

Staying at The View was an incredible experience! Nestled high up on the mountainside, the views were simply breathtaking and definitely made the trip worthwhile. While the road leading up to the hotel is quite challenging and requires a 4WD, the stunning surroundings more than compensated for it. The rooms were cozy and practical but could use a little updating. The dining options were excellent, though the food quality varied during Ramadan. Overall, it's a fantastic place to unwind and explore the beauty of Oman.

The View boasts stunning vistas that truly live up to its name, making it a special place for nature lovers. However, the service and food quality did not align with the expectations set by the price tag. While the individual pods are uniquely located and comfortable, some issues with service upon arrival and mediocre dining experiences detracted from the overall stay.

The hotel has a lovely infinity pool, but it felt a bit small given the number of guests. The layout is unique, with individual pods connected by walkways that make for a picturesque environment.

I really liked the location of the hotel with its amazing views, but my experience was quite mixed. While the concept of the hotel is interesting and it has great potential, there are several areas that need improvement, especially in dining and facilities. The service was okay, but I felt misled by some aspects that weren't as advertised. Overall, the views are stunning, but I wouldn't say it's worth the price at this stage.
