- Kateryna (7/5): - beach service, good location The hotel is in dire need of renovation. For a 5-star hotel, the rooms are very old, with broken furniture. The room overlooks the garden, where fertilizer had been spread. The smell was terrible for two days. The spa is very old and in need of repair. The breakfasts are monotonous and stale. The restaurant in the evening was a complete disappointment. The price and quality don't match.

- Go03632303157 (10/5): Training Muay Thay with Kitty - Training on the beach with Muay Thai professional Kitty was an intense, authentic, and deeply transformative experience. The natural setting — sand, sea, and wind — makes every exercise more demanding and real, but it is the quality of the training that truly makes the difference. Kitty doesn’t just teach technique: he transmits discipline, control, and mental presence. Every strike has a purpose, every movement is refined, and every pause is part of the training. The sand amplifies physical effort, improving balance and stability, while the work on technique, guard, combinations, and endurance is calibrated with professional precision. Kitty constantly follows the athlete, correcting, pushing, and motivating, without ever losing focus on safety and the quality of execution. It’s not just a workout — it’s a ritual of strength. You leave tired, yet clear-minded; tested, yet more centered. An experience that unites body and mind, ideal for those seeking something real, far from standardized gyms. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to challenge themselves, truly improve, and train with a professional who lives and respects the essence of Muay Thai. 💪🥊
- patrickdG8805PP (10/5): Incredible Staff, thoroughly enjoyable experience! - My experience in Al Baleed was amazing. I had a really relaxing and enjoyable time with my family. All the staff were so helpful and had a superb attention to detail. Mihira and the pool team looked after us by the beach and were incredibly friendly. Everyone in the restaurant were so lovely, especially Yuli and John who always made sure we were looked after at breakfast! I highly recommend this hotel, and will be back again!!
- Giancarlo058 (10/5): Unforgettable experience at Anantara Salalah - Excellent location with a magic atmosphere. Rooms spacious and clean. Service Excellent..Outstanding assistance at the reception.. Ibrahim took really care of us throughout our stay!
- Omarious (10/5): great stay at Anantara Resort in Salalah! - We are returning guests to this resort and as always the staff made us feel we were at home! Thanks to everyone that made our stay unforgettable, in particular Leo the concierge, Kitty the Thai Boxing instructor, Claudia the Tennis Coach, Marichel/Mani/Dilan from the Sakalan restaurant and Fawzia/ Phiona/ Dada from the Kids Club. We are looking for our next stay in this great resort!
- gussielynn (10/5): Phenomenal Stay at Anantara - We had a magical time as a family in Salalah at Al Baleed. We travel often and this was by far one of the best resort hotels we have experienced. All the staff were exceptional, the food phenomenal, the accommodations lovely and the property is well cared for. We are grateful for our family time there, wonderful memories were made.
- A2724LRdominikh (10/5): Best resort in Salalah - Very nice an clean resort. Rooms are spacious and well maintained. On arrival and they make you nice small welcome sign on the ground when you enter your villa and on the bed in your language you come from. It ismall thing but make you feel nice lik at home.All restaurants serve good food but you should make booking before you go . I specially loved breakfast and could stay there for hours. Pool is very big and beach very nice and clean but my favorite of all resort is activities club. Mihira makes amazing job and he is always around and helpful when you need him. For sure you have to try to play tennis because they have good coach there during season. You can also do minigolf and they starting to build padel tennis . Actually it may be up by this time. There is a nice little gym and also ping pong table. So much fun and so many activities.
- A4805BJcarloc (10/5): Perfect in every way - We went to Salalah at the Al Baleed Resort by Anantara as a family of 4. Everything was perfect in every way: from the hotel staff who always went above and beyond to assist and help us (shoutout to Yussuf our villa host and all the Al Mina waiters), to the pristine and always superclean hotel facilities, to our superb villa on the lagoon, to end with the amazing white-sand beach that stretches for miles and miles with nobody around but seagulls... our vacation was truly a dream come true. We will come back for sure.
- EmsJohnnyHux (10/5): Wonderful Christmas get-away - Wonderful stay - gorgeous in every way. Incredibly kind and thoughtful resort staff. Plenty to do with teenage kids. Extremely grateful - wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place.
- IngeMorel (10/5): 10 out of 10! - We would like to thank the people of the Al Baleed Resort in Salalah for a wonderful and outstanding week over the Christmas holidays. Their kindness and attentiveness made our vacation an unforgettable experience. While everyone of the team did an amazing job we would like to mention specifically Yuli, Mani, Asad, Dilian, Syam, John, Leo, Sultan from the restaurants, Hussein who did our tour, the exceptional team at the pool for always attending to our needs, the room service among them Rhoni and Rabi, as well as Yousuf and Daniel. You have made our vacation unforgettable and we are excited to come back in the future. Marie-Alice and Inge Morel
- O5975KSandreaw (10/5): Amazing hotel - The hotel was amazing, especially the beach is beautiful!! Also the service was top!! Thanks to Nurul and Puja who did an amazing job – our room was spotless every day and taken care of with so much attention and love.
- TwinApril (10/5): Paradise! - Such a special place, I cannot recommend this enough! You are treated like royalty and the resort is so wonderfully designed and a place you just don't want to leave. Gabor was always on hand when we wanted to book a restaurant or activity and Yusuf always greeted us with a smile in the lobby with dates and coffee. Our room was a delight to come back to and Rabbi and Aminul always provided us with what we need. All the staff were magical! So sad to leave but such special memories made.
- Connector457832 (10/5): Relaxing Vacation @ Al Baleed in Salalah - Had an amazing time at Al Baleed! From check in with Gabor and Leo till check out the service was phenomenal! Our host Lamia was tremendously helpful with all the recommendations! We had a two bedroom villa for 4 days! Highly recommend the Asian Restaurant (Mekong) - the sizzling beef from the mains was delicious and the calamari from the appetizers. The breakfast spread at Sakalan was very good and service from Syam, Dilan and Yuli was exceptional! The daily service provided by the cleaning crew was on point! From the moment we stepped into our spacious 2-bedroom pool villa, the level of care and attention from the resort’s housekeeping team helped make our stay truly exceptional. The villa was maintained to pristine standards—spotlessly clean, beautifully presented, and refreshed consistently throughout our stay. The staff was very attentive and anything we requested was promptly attended to. A shout out to the buggy drivers who picked us up to and from the villa daily. And a big thank you to Mr. Selim, Mr. Wesam and Mr. Shanaka for making all the arrangements and all the personalized touches!
- 730victoriar (10/5): Exceptional hotel - Where shall I begin. What a hotel ! From the exceptional staff everywhere in the hotel from the room cleaners to the pool boys the barmen to the front desk staff. Top knotch ! This resort has 4 of the best places to eat In Salalah, plenty of choice and particularly for me as I have a gluten allergy , every menu was labelled clearly ( but they don’t just cater for gf. Literally every dietary requirement is catered for) . Top marks to the chefs who cooked every meal to perfection. It’s pricey but you certainly get what you pay for. Little touches such as cold face towels when you are on the beach to fresh fruit sticks and even a man who comes round to clean your sunglasses ! Coffee and wine are good here too but then the GM is an Italian so you would expect he would get that right😉. We stayed in a beach front villa which was spacious and had everything we could wish for. I can’t wait to go back. I’ve got a soft spot for Oman because of my work but I think Salalah has the edge on muscat for scenery
- Viktor (10/5): -
- anne (8/5): Magnifique en dehors de la musique et du management - La gentillesse du personnel, la situation géographique et l’architecture de l’hôtel Restaurant le Mékong est tout à fait correct. Le management de l’ensemble de l’établissement : organisation défectueuse , efficacité médiocre et surtout la musique beaucoup trop forte dans l’établissement et dans les restaurant : groupe et violoniste même le matin au petit déjeuner jouant toujours les mêmes morceaux de musique - juste insupportable et le soir de 6:30 jusque 22:00
- Martin (9/5): kurzer aber sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt - Freundlicher Empfang, ebensolches Personal fällt mir nichts ein
- Maciej (10/5): Najlepszy hotel w Salalah. - Super basen, plaża, domki, obsługa. Jedne z lepszych śniadań hotelowych jakie jedliśmy. Obsługa bardzo dobra. Komfort i lokalizacja również.
- Joost (10/5): Excellent week-end break away in a magnificent setting -

- Svetlana (10/5): Отель, в который хочется возвращаться! - Приехали в отель в 10.00, нас очень тепло встретили, предложили кофе и восточные сладости. Maria на reception была очень приветлива и любезна, оформила заселение сразу, а также предложила upgrade категории номера. В итоге мы получили роскошную виллу с приватным бассейном. Спасибо огромное Maria за внимание к нам во время всего нашего пребывания , а также за возможность позднего выселения. Хотели бы поблагодарить Adi из ресторана Al Mina, и Mitra из Mekong за великолепное обслуживание. Приятным бонусом к замечательным ужинам была живая музыка, особенно профессионально и эмоционально играла на скрипке Elena. Пляж широкий, красивый, ухоженный, с белым песком. Отдыхающих несколько раз в день угощают фруктами, предлагают воду. Также хотим отметить Hasan из room service за идеальную чистоту . Отдых был очень запоминающимся, хочется вернуться! Такого нет

We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to the housekeeping team for keeping our room perfectly clean and comfortable, and to the staff who prepared our room in the evenings. These thoughtful details made our stay feel even more special and welcoming. Maria and all emoloyees always greeted us with a smile and were incredibly helpful with everything we needed.

- rotterdamerik (10/5): Amazing stay! - This was our second time at Anantara in Salalah. The hotel is absolutely amazing. Arriving was very pleasant. We were upgraded to a villa, which was great. The villas are stunning and do spacious. The gardens are beautiful and well maintained. The beach is absolutely amazing. During the day we explored the south of Oman an at the end of the afternoon we went to the beach to relax. I loved every minute of it. Breakfasts were very good as well. The staff at breakfast is so friendly and attentive. The gym is small but adequate. I really was very pleased with this stay and can’t wait to return to beautiful Salalah and this amazing hotel! Highly recommended!
- Jiří (10/5): - Resort je velmi klidný a příjemný. Chutné a pestré snídaně i večeře. Nejlepší všal byla prostorná vila se soukromým bazénem. Také se musím zmínit o příjemném a vstřícném personálu, který nám ochotně pomohl řešit problémy, které nás potkaly. Vše bylo super a nad naše očekávání.

- jirimalina (10/5): 5 days in perfect resort - We stayed in very nice villa with pool and garden. Food was perfect and the beach was clean and with enough sun beds.
- timos215 (10/5): Perfect Getaway in Paradise – Exceptional Stay at Anantara Al Baleed - We spent five unforgettable nights at Anantara Al Baleed in a fantastic Garden Pool Villa, and it was everything we hoped for and more. The villa offered generous space, complete privacy, and a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere — truly the ideal retreat. The entire resort is beautifully maintained, and the staff are outstanding. We would especially like to mention Asad, Arafath, Khun Kitty, Leo, Dede, John, Qasim, Dipen, Mani, Jalal, and Shakawat, who all contributed to making our stay exceptional. Their kindness, professionalism, and genuine hospitality made us feel welcome at every moment. During our stay, the Culinary Festival took place, giving us the chance to enjoy two special themed dinners: A Mekong River Thai-inspired set menu with fantastic flavors, And a Spice Route evening featuring a wonderful live barbecue and a diverse, delicious buffet. Both dinners were highlights of our trip. The beach is absolutely beautiful — perfectly clean, calm, and equipped with comfortable sunbeds and cabanas. My wife especially enjoyed the private Muay Thai training sessions with Khun Kitty, and the gym was well equipped for a great workout. Another pleasant surprise was the Dakar Jazz Lounge, a cozy, stylish spot to unwind in the evenings. It creates a relaxed chill-out atmosphere you wouldn’t expect to find here — and the cocktails are excellent. All in all, our stay at Anantara Al Baleed was pure perfection. We loved every minute and will definitely return. Highly recommended!
- 290aleksl (10/5): Really lovely staff and great food, personal training fab - We had personal training every day with Mihira and once with the Thai boxing trainer and each and every time was fantastic. Super friendly staff all around the hotel also in the restaurants and the workouts were superb, highly recommend!
- josefinacQ7569PZ (10/5): An unforgettable stay in Anantara! - My husband and I spent 11 wonderful and relaxing days in Anantara Al Baleed and our experience was simply amazing. From the reception to the restaurants, room service, recreation areas, sports center, and spa — every single member of the team was attentive, kind, and genuinely welcoming. The breakfast buffet at Sakalan was exceptional, offering a wide variety of both hot and cold dishes, fresh fruits, juices, gluten-free options, chia bowls, and eggs prepared in every possible way. In the evening, the same restaurant turns into a themed buffet (Italian, Indian, seafood, etc.), which was always a delight. A huge thank you to all the staff at Sakalan for their warmth and attention to detail — especially John, who was extremely polite and shared so many useful tips about what to do in Salalah; Kihn, in charge of the pastries (the best cheesecake I’ve ever had — thank you!); and Asad, Vivien, and Yuli, among many others who made every meal special. We also loved dining at Mekong, where the food was delicious (I’m still dreaming about the sticky rice!). Thank you Roy and Mitra for your wonderful service. And finally, a special mention to White and Teja at the Almina restaurant — you were fantastic! We truly can’t wait to come back. Thank you to the entire Anantara team for making our stay unforgettable!
- yasemins892 (10/5): Where serenity meets Muay Thai with Kitty - The Anantara Al Baleed Resort Salalah is pure paradise – sunshine, sea, and total relaxation. And then there’s Muay Thai with Kitty. He’ll have you throwing punches, gasping for breath, and laughing all at the same time. Between rounds, he drops clever training tips for home. You leave tired, sweaty, happy, and wondering when exercise ever felt this much fun.
- 888heidie (10/5): Highest comfort and luxery - This is an absolutely luxerous hotel! The roomservice is incredible. Our rooms were serviced in the mornings and evening and always spotless. Thankyou to Nurul and Rinus. The spa treatments were great and very relaxing. And I would like to highlight the wonderful infinity pool. As soon as we arrived at the hotel, we experienced a great time.

- kamerak2025 (10/5): Exceptional Stay at Anantara - My stay at Al Baleed Resort Anantara in Salalah was unforgettable. Beautiful, clean, organized, and full of thoughtful details. Amazing food, vegan options, stunning villa, perfect service, and a peaceful beach. I highly recommend this resort. Special thanks to Gabor at reception — he went above and beyond and made our experience exceptional.

- 467vojtech (10/5): Family review - Our family vacation at Anantara Al Baleed Resort Salalah was absolutely wonderful. The hotel feels both luxurious and peaceful – a perfect place to relax, especially for families with children. The beach is beautiful, the sea is clean, and the large pool and perfectly maintained gardens create an amazing atmosphere. The staff were exceptional throughout our stay – friendly, professional, and always ready to help. The room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. The food at the hotel restaurants was excellent, with plenty of variety and great quality. The only small downside is that, for a resort of this level, I would have expected non-alcoholic drinks to be included in the stay. Otherwise, everything was perfect, and we would definitely love to come back.
- lenahG6076VY (10/5): Feedback - Really enjoyed my time at the resort! Really recommend the gym sessions with Mihira :) Overall, resort would need a little bid of a renovation especially compared to Anantara resort in the mountains

We liked the view from the deluxe sea view room which is spacious and freshly decorated. Thank you Nurul for tending to our room so beautifully every morning and evening. Andrea the manager who runs a great team, could not have made us more welcome! Huge congratulations for completing the Ironman triathlon! The recreation centre offers fantastic activities and Mihira is just brilliant. The tennis lessons were terrific and Claudia, the coach is so professional and talented. All three restaurants provide a delicious menu. The Asian buffet is incredible. We love this hotel so much we will be back again! Huge thanks, Family Allan

- Gordana (9/5): - Location Comfy bed Infinity swimming pool Spa The toilets around the swimming pool could be maintained better.
- SimonT228 (10/5): Excellent - Excellent hotel In Salalah and a great base from which to explore the area. Large rooms, all very comfortable and air conditioned. Cosy beds with luxurious cotton sheets. Excellent food in the restaurants, great music from the duet at the Mediterranean restaurant in the evenings, and first class service everywhere. If there’s a disappointment, the gym is poor being small, cramped, hot and next to the kids club. I enjoy keeping fit while away but could not motivate myself to use it. Probably not an issue to most people. There’s a great beach to walk along.
- Selhaaami (10/5): Amazing stay experience - We had a wonderful two-night stay and truly enjoyed every moment! Check-in was smooth with a warm welcome from Koukab, Cellin, Ashraf, and Gabor. Breakfast was amazing — fresh buffet with a lovely view, thanks to Asad, Yuli, and Julie. We loved the sushi floating tray — so delicious! Great service from Kathrik and Abdurahman room service Dinner at Mekong was fantastic, thanks to Nadia, Raquel, and Dhe, and at Al Mina we loved the great vibes, live music, and delicious food — special thanks to Rashiel, Taimae, and Al Hamdu.🥥🌴🌴🫶🏼🫶🏼

The ocean breeze is divine, and so is the food. I ate and slept and swam in the amazing infinity pool. Beautiful property - so relaxing. Miss it already.
- Compass03757810555 (10/5): Nice stay thanks Ibrahim - I have had a nice stay at Albaleed resort salalah hotel is good staff friendly special Thanks ibrahim from Reception for Help
- VZaid (10/5): A Generally Serene Experience - The hotel's location is exceptional on a beautiful part of the coastline. It has a long beach line with beautiful soft sand, and in the right weather I could imagine the possibility of surfers enjoying their time there if allowed. The set-up of the villa complex is also great. As individual villas they are spacious and with complete amenities (with the exception of bigger cooking instruments, of course), a nice and spacious bathroom, and a private pool. The hotel staff are extremely friendly and, in fact, this did not seem like a resort but a community in and of itself. It was empty due to the fact that the Khareef tourist season had just finished, so client-staff communication was clearer and more direct. What set this experience apart from any other is the level of customer service and care the hotel provided. When it was indicated that my wife and I are visiting for our 10th wedding anniversary, the hotel took great care in giving us all we would think of by way of congratulations: a custom message on our villa door, flowers and balloons on our bed and, most importantly, provided us discounts on some purchases like F&B and the couples package for our spa session. This is definitely the greatest part of our entire stay. Even though the staff were very friendly and helpful, they were not present enough at the side of the pool opposite the main building, so we had to inform the towel kiosk attendant to call the restaurant and ask a waiter to come take any orders. The remote controls of both TVs in the villas were defective. The one in the living room would not unmute the TV (the volume level was stuck at 0 and would not go up when the button was pressed), while the one in the bedroom wasn't responsive enough. These definitely need seeing to. In short: Visit during Khareef for excitement. Visit just after it for quiet relaxation away from urban chaos!

- Stranac (10/5): An Oasis of sheer pleasure! - I have frequently travelled to UAE over many years but always wanted to visit Oman. I'd also experienced Anantara before in the Maldives (Naladhu). First impressions always count and Gabor at reception was that person. So, so helpful and willing to advise, assist and in a genuine friendly way. Clearly his superb approach to guests was reflected by the other staff. Honestly the service was excellent. It was like my own hotel. Special mention to everyone at Al Mina overlooking the sea and the pool. I was welcomed enthusiastically every time. The mixologist was a dream-knew all my favourite cocktails. Waiters/waitresses chatted in such a friendly way. Plus the bonus of culinary delights such as lobster, crabs, prawn, meze. I upgraded to a suite with a private pool and could have stayed there all day. The pool is an utter delight and when you throw in offerings of fruit, sunglass wipes, aloe vera leaves for moisturiser! The hotel is an oasis but I did get out and saw the magnificent greenery and mountains surrounding Salalah. Indescribable. So, so different from what I expected and totally different from UAE. Water holes, rivers, lush vegetation. My final observation-I am checking flights to return-that says it all!
