Sur, Oman

This modern, three-star chain hotel in Sur is the most comfortable option in town. Although it wouldn’t win any architecture or design awards, it is efficiently run and maintained to a high standard. The rooms are all en suite, pleasantly furnished and impeccably clean. Meals are served in a spacious multi-cuisine restaurant offering a mix of Arabic, Indian, Chinese and Continental dishes, and there’s a good sized pool that’s large enough for a proper swim.
