Fanar Hotel and Residences

The hotel is very nice, clean. The staff is always helpful. The food is varied, very delicious (compliments to the chef). Huge beach on the ocean, many pools. I never felt that it was crowded. All ages can find their own entertainment options. I can only recommend it.

A Wonderful Arabian Escape in Salalah Fanar Hotel and Residences exceeded all our expectations during our recent stay in Salalah. This beautiful five-star resort sits directly on a pristine private beach with stunning views of the Indian Ocean, offering the perfect blend of luxury and authentic Omani hospitality. The rooms are spotlessly clean and spacious, featuring thoughtful touches like Omani carved interiors and terraces overlooking either the lagoon or the mountains. Our deluxe room was exceptionally comfortable, with luxurious bed linens and all the modern amenities we needed. What truly sets Fanar apart is the exceptional service. The staff members are genuinely warm and attentive, making every effort to ensure guests feel welcome and cared for. From the beach bar to the restaurants, everyone we encountered was professional and friendly. The hotel’s facilities are impressive (including multiple pools, a spa, and diverse dining options), and the location is ideal for families, couples, and business travelers alike. The breakfast buffet was excellent, and we particularly enjoyed the Mediterranean restaurant for dinner. Whether you’re looking to relax on the beach, explore Salalah, or simply enjoy world-class amenities in a peaceful setting, Fanar Hotel and Residences delivers a truly memorable experience. We can’t wait to return!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The stay at the hotel was definitely enjoyable. There are a few things to improve, such as not receiving a map of the property during check-in (when it's your first time at the hotel, directions like "straight ahead and to the right" don't help much). It would be enough to provide the building name and a map. Also, the lunchbox wasn't prepared for us. The receptionist wrote it down on a scrap of paper and didn't follow up on it. The main priority for the morning shift was finding someone to blame, instead of preparing those few sandwiches and the box with vegetables (which took 35 minutes). New Year's Eve was fine, though the DJ could have started earlier. The band didn't really fit the dancing atmosphere, and the performances weren't much different from what is usually offered. But aside from that, it was beautiful: a wonderful ocean beach, unforgettable sunrises and sunsets. Great surf lesson. The food was tasty and every day we could try a different cuisine. The staff was very kind.

Our stay at FANAR HOTEL and RESIDENCES in Oman was absolutely wonderful. It is a beautiful and spacious resort that offers three different types of beaches, so everyone can find their perfect spot. The accommodation is very nice and comfortable, and the entire area is clean and well maintained. The food was excellent, with a really large variety at every meal. The staff were always helpful, friendly, and attentive, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We were also very satisfied with the animation team – their evening programs were fun, energetic, and always well prepared. We definitely recommend this hotel and would be happy to visit again in the future. FANAR HOTEL gave us a holiday full of relaxation, beautiful surroundings, and a pleasant atmosphere.

Great location. Good breakfast. Friendly staff. Nice facilities. This hotel collaborates with three other hotels in the area so you can visit all the restaurants. The marina is also right on the doorstep of this hotel with lots of food options and boats. Downsides: It was very full on our trip with bus loads of European tourists that came for Christmas celebrations checking in every day. It was great for them, but if you don't like crowds, maybe this isn't the right place. There is no control over some guests' smoking habits in all areas - there should be designated areas for this, away from children and non-smokers! The beds in the rooms are super firm, like sleeping on the floor, so it was rather uncomfortable. The cleaning staff don't speak such great English so they can misunderstand what is needed, e.g. bringing us an extra coffee mug. While this is a lovely place to visit, it is void of anything Omani. It is completely tailored to foreign guests so it does not have an authentic feeling. I can't say that I know what it's like to experience Omani hospitality after this visit, which is disappointing.
