Just got back from a 6-day break at Jumeirah Muscat Bay, and I can honestly say I’d definitely go back. The hotel is stunning — beautifully maintained and set in such a peaceful, scenic location. The staff were absolutely amazing: friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming throughout our stay.

Breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of fresh and delicious options every morning. We also had a couples’ spa treatment which was perfect — so professional and relaxing that we both felt incredible afterwards.

A special shout-out to the yoga instructor who taught the Ashtanga yoga sessions on the beach. She was an excellent teacher — so calm, relaxed, and patient. Ending the day with yoga by the sea was truly a highlight of the trip.

The excursions offered by the hotel were also very good, especially the one to the Grand Mosque with Wabar Tours, which was well-organized and insightful. However, the dolphin watching and snorkelling tour was a bit disappointing, particularly in how a minor onboard accident involving a passenger was handled.

If I had to mention one small area for improvement, it would be to have a few more dining options in the evenings, as we sometimes found it difficult to get reservations.

Overall, though, Jumeirah Muscat Bay is a fantastic place to unwind and recharge. We left feeling refreshed and are already looking forward to our next visit.

The breakfast buffet was stupidly delicious, the food in the bottom floor restaurant is all flawless.
The pools and beach are always clean and the pool people were very attentive with bringing towels and water.
But in one sentence: the hotel is good but the staff is great!

Foreigners please beware of this hotel! This place is a scam and a serious health hazard. I booked a couple of nights here, and as soon as I entered the room there was a strong smell of oil or gas. Within minutes, I felt nauseous and dizzy. I opened the balcony windows for fresh air, but the odor only got stronger.

When I went to the front desk, the staff pretended they would help but then tried to gaslight me, saying the smell was “from the ocean.” As a frequent traveler, I know what the sea smells like — this was clearly not it. They offered me another room, but the same awful smell was there too. I decided the place would not be a good fit for me because how sick I felt instantly. I got a headache and felt very nauseous.

They said they would refund me and I decided to book another hotel. I have since finished my trip and they refuse to refund me.

This place is honestly a scam. Avoid at all cost.
They also try to get you to put down a deposit that sounds like incidentals but is really trying to force your hand at spending at the hotel further

No guest should have to choose between their health and their hotel stay. If you sort the reviews from lowest to highest, you’ll see that other travelers have reported the same issue before. This is not an isolated incident.

For your own safety, do not stay here. Your health is far more important than risking exposure to oil fumes.

The stay was absolutely amazing, staff are friendly and attentive. Our cleaner was so nice and went out of their way to make it a special birthday for my husband! I would highly recommend this hotel - the only downside (which is not of the hotel) is that you can only be taken by a Blue taxi which is very expensive 75% more than Otaxi in Oman, they were extremely hostile and rude when you tell them you just want a one way trip I did not like this.

We had a great time at this hotel! They have thought of everything! The checking to the turndown service and little gifts to the little snacks at the pool throughout the day such as ice cream and lemonade. Everything is so close the pool and beach were amazing and probably the best sea I've swam in! The dining options were limited and we would have preferred more options on the menu! It's also pretty pricey but luxury! Checkout was perfect and Sumnina was great! All the other staff were also super friendly and can't fault the attention to service in restaurants poolside and also room cleaning

Amazing stay at the Jumeriah Muscat Bay. The hotel itself is new and stunning, the location on the bay is jaw droppingly beautiful but to top it off, the service was exquisite. Good service can make or break a trip for me regardless of how nice the venue is. This hotel prides itself on service, and took great care in ensuring we were well looked after on our stay.

In particular we would like to thank:
Reem at the front desk for her kindness, for the room upgrade, for her care when I needed medical attention.
Ahmed at the conceirge for helping us book our restaurant reservations.
Pradeep and Pankaj at the Peridot for their impeccable manners and service.
Arshemal at the Brezza restaurant for her wonderful service.
Dr. Arselan for taking immediate care of me when I needed medical attention.
Mohamed at the Pool for his professional and kind service.
Vishal for cleaning our room every day.
The quality of the food in the restaurants was wonderful and we enjoyed the breakfasts in particular.
The whole start was perfect and we would go back to visit in a heartbeat.
Thank you Jumeirah Muscat Bay!

Beautiful Setting, Disappointing Service

We stayed at the Jumeirah Muscat Bay Hotel for seven days to celebrate our honeymoon.

The hotel is well located, with convenient access to central Muscat and relatively close to the airport. It offers beautiful views of the beach and sea, and we appreciated that the beach was clean and there was always a sunbed available without any hassle.

However, the main downside of our stay was the lack of accommodation for vegetarians. Despite informing the front desk of our strict dietary requirements (we were on a half-board plan), the dinner service did not meet expectations. Staff advised us to simply work around the buffet offerings, which was disappointing and made dining unnecessarily difficult.

In contrast, our previous stay at the Anantara hotel in Oman offered a much higher level of service, particularly when it came to meeting dietary needs. They went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of.

Overall, while the setting and facilities at Jumeirah Muscat Bay were pleasant, the service—especially regarding dietary requirements—left much to be desired.

Quiet Luxury - we had a fantastic stay at the resort. The service was incredible and the pool area and spa facilities were also top notch. Location wise, it was also perfect and the bay was beautifully calm and well kept.

The room was so spacious and felt well kept and brand new. Small touches throughout the day added to the general feeling of luxury, such as small amenities being given during turn downs or food and drinks being served at the pool and beach throughout the day.

Room for improvement would only be two points - particularly on the comfort of the bed. Being on a babymoon, my wife found the mattress toppers uncomfortable. Food was very good overall however I do think it can be slightly improved to match the high class levels of the resort as a whole.

Nothing of this takes away from the fact that we had an incredible stay and would not hesitate to return to this resort, it was an incredible overall experience.

Beautiful hotel. Rooms, beach, pools, facilities are all very stunning.
Beach is superb and great service from the staff.
One downside is the outrageous inflated prices for drink and food. For a 5 star luxury resort the food is pretty basic if I’m being really honest. Onzo bar is great, superb sushi and worth the price.
A beer at £12 (330 Ml) is way OTT

Great hotel to disconnect and be in pure luxury. I really liked the fact that they had a pillow menu(complimentary). You get to choose a pillow that fits you.

One thing I didn't appreciate is the fact that we booked half board and I specifically checked the T&C to see if there are any add on as it was Dec 24th for dinner and only new year was mentioned, when we reached there they told we have to pay extra for the buffer because it is Christmas buffet. I told them and showed the T&C but I still had to payed Xtra. I felt like theyr didn't show integrity there with their own T&C.

Not much else in the immediate vicinity (but other attractions not too far away by car/taxi). Luckily, hotel has many food/restaurant options to suit different tastes/budgets, all excellent.

A week of luxury and relaxation.

We have been lucky enough to travel to many places and many 5-star hotels. This place is our favourite. The luxury here is understated - no gold taps or anything like that, just beautifully decorated spaces that show the beach/ sea view off wherever possible, however - it was the staff that made this place special for us. We were travelling with our 13yo son and the service for us was the best we’ve ever experienced. We would like to say that both Akashi and Simran in Peridot as well as Mia in Brezza were excellent and the hotel should be proud of the service they provide. Because of them we will definitely be returning.
