Wonderful luxury in an amazing location. Rooms spacious and well-appointed as was the rest of the resort. Spa was gorgeous. The only negative was that the half-board food was very good but lacked variety. Having stayed at the Anantara in Phuket, we were hoping for exceptional and it feel a little bit short.

Price of alcohol and food very high ( eg by comparison with Kempinski in Muscat. Costs in spa higher than 5* London hotels but the massage was in fairness first class. Position provides a dramatic setting . We booked a canyon view room. On arrival they tried to ‘ upgrade’ us to villa with a small pool. The villa had literally no views being surrounded by buildings and a wall. We where eventually given a canyon view room on the first floor ( their are only ground and first floor rooms). This was an upgrade from our ground floor booking and was excellent.My guess is that they had overbooked the Canyon view rooms. If they had failed to find a room ( which meant check-in took nearly an hour) the trip would have been an absolute disaster. The staff were generally excellent and helped me to recover from a poor start to Valentines by providing a small personalised cake and a rose. We are not great hikers but enjoyed the walks to nearby villages. We drove into Nizwa for the souq. Very interesting. We had 3 nights, 2 nights and a bit of advanced planning of activities would have been plenty
