The main attraction is of course the turtle viewing tours. Despite some reviews indicating these were insensitive, poorly run etc, our experience of these was very good. The evening tour was a group of 20, but we felt the guide managed it very well, taking care to interfere as little as possible in the amazing spectacle, often using sub-groups etc. The morning tour was quieter but definitely do both. Hotel itself is fine - nothing special, but does the job well enough. It looks somewhat dated to be honest, but the rooms were clean and bed comfy, which is all you need here really. We found the evening food to be decent and very good value. Breakfast was not so great. We visited in September on a weekday - so I can't speak for what it is like in other times / on weekends when it may be busier.

I was worried about going due to some of the reviews but in general the stay was fine for one night. The tent was clean , the bed was comfortable, shower and AC were good. The WiFi was none existent in the tents . The gentleman in reception in the morning was polite and one nice man in the restaurant also but some of the other staff were just rude which was a real shame . The restaurant buffet dinner and breakfast was great could not fault it . Those that like a drink they did not serve alcohol here which wasn’t an issue. The beach is huge and very quiet which was nice to walk along , there was nothing else to do here. Unfortunately we did not see the turtles as we waited around for an hour and half and gave up but others managed eventually saw some . It was ok for one night but they could make this so much better and encourage visitors to stay longer by improving the facilities in general

This hotel is in an excellent location for turtle watching and spending a day in the beach. The free breakfast is average, the dinner seemed to expensive (12 OMR) and we went to Ras Al Hadd instead. The eco tents need some renovation. Everything was run down and the tent material was moldy in most places. Even when we opened all windows, it still smelled. The bathroom was even worse.

Nice experience!
The staff was friendly and the food was great, both dinner and breakfast. The guided tour to the beach in the evening was good and professional. The room was a bit outdated and is soon in need for renovation.

The reserve is fabulous. This is a great location. The turtle watching was very special. Our guide on the first morning told us all to be quiet and not to use lights from our phones and created a really good ambience for turtle watching. It was lovely to walk together with other guests in silent expectation. Our other guide didn’t lay down the same rules and the group was noisier using phones and lights. Have a consistent standard please! We stayed in one of the Eco-tents that had hot running water and a flushing toilet and the ambience in the camp area is lovely. However, we question how ‘eco’ the tents are in terms of energy use. For example, the fridge was running at full blast whilst it was empty. The air-conditioning unit was very loud and noisy and blasted out air that was very dehydrating. Is there any way that this could be improved? Also if it is possible to avoid plastic water and plastic bottles of shampoo etc.this would help the environment. However, we notice that almost all the water bottles for sale in Oman are plastic bottles so the hotel can only do what it can. The rooms in the tents need refurbishing but probably like all hospitality, Covid has been a real setback to investment in updating things. The restaurant was good, with a variety of choices of food and the staff were very friendly and helpful and kept everything clean. The mocktails were the best we had during our visit to Oman! We had a very memorable stay at the Turtle Reserve and recommend it.

Lovely eco tent
Lovely eco tent. We were unsure about this accommodation as we were spoilt by 5 star luxury in Muscat but the tents had all the facilities we needed and was clean/ spacious. We were unsure if we would see any turtles as it was off season but we saw 5 which was incredible. My only concern would be the way the turtle visits are conducted. They say to be quiet and not use your torch/ flash but so many inconsiderate guests ignored this. The guides are very loud-not sure how upsetting this is for the turtles. Our guide also pulled a baby turtle that had only been born an hour before out of his pocket and then shone a light on it for all to see-it was quite distressing for the turtle. I am not an expert but certain things seemed to be quite invasive for the turtles. The food at the site was lovely and the staff were incredibly accommodating. Definitely would stay for a short stay again
