Al Balid Holidays

While the staff were excellent and it was nice enough, the location was terrible for a solo traveller without a car. I felt like I was miles away and no real options other than taxis. The other issues were the locals coming in to the pool in the afternoon, who had no respect at all for the premises, there were taking food into the pool, one even smoking in the fool, its was like being in a zoo. While the location was quite, you cold hear noise from other rooms, especially the doors which were very heavy and slammed loudly. So if you want a relaxing time, stay at a bigger resort with more options, or if you want to see more, find somewhere in town to stay

Such an amazing place to stay, with everything that you need in the compound. All the staff are amazing and very friendly, especially Rasha who helped with all our requests and gave us great suggestions. will definitely book again when in Salalah

The resort does not allow local taxis or external transportation services, which limits guests' options for getting around. The in-house transport services are significantly overpriced—often charging 3 to 5 times more than the normal rate. This felt like an unfair advantage being taken of tourists. They say it is government rule but nothing wss shown to support that. If you're planning to stay entirely within the resort, this may not affect you much. Just you'll end up paying much more than expected just for airport transfers or simple outings. Aside from this issue, everything else about the resort was excellent.

The restaurants are understaffed.

A very relaxing Resort. Facilities were excellent.
