Nice Stay With a Few Quirks
We enjoyed our stay at the Juweira Boutique Hotel. The rooms are very large, spotless, and a bit quirky in layout, and the staff were consistently friendly and helpful. The hotel sits within a big, man-made marina resort area that feels artificial at first but charming at night.
The pools are quiet and pleasant, though the official opening hours (9:00–18:00) make early swims tricky. No toilets near the main pool is inconvenient. The beaches are beautiful, although some “Premium Guest” areas weren’t accessible to us.
Dining was a bit confusing: some restaurants were open to B&B guests, others not, and the gold bracelet system makes this very visible. The main buffet was just okay for the price, but the pool bar offers tasty and reasonably priced snacks—especially the generous meze.
A few quirks: hard mattresses, confusing light switches, gym with access code, and a 100 OMR deposit if you want to charge pool-bar items to the room. Friday night entertainment in the village was audible until around 23:00.
Breakfast was fine, with excellent baguettes. After two nights we understood how everything works and felt very comfortable.
Overall, a pleasant hotel in a nice setting, with great staff. With clearer service concepts and a few small improvements, it could be truly outstanding.
