Great stay at Fanar Hotel & Residences. We had an issue with the Jacuzzi initially, but Mr. Tarek handled it exceptionally well and completely turned the experience around. His personal attention, generous arrangements and follow-up exceeded our expectations. I would definitely return and recommend Fanar to family and friends.
I must say, it was truly exceptional. The service was top-notch, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the amenities were fantastic. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great place to stay. Thank you to the wonderful staff for making my stay memorable.
Very limited dinning options.. poor room cleanliness and amenities.. though the breakfast buffet is almost excellent.

Recommended hotel!
Pros: Fantastic location with beautiful sandy beaches, plenty of activities to do, all very well organized, extremely friendly staff attentive to guests’ needs, and excellent quality food.
Cons: Without a premium experience, the included drinks are too few, the rooms need significant maintenance and possibly some modernization, and the Wi-Fi is very slow and doesn’t work in many areas of the hotel (including part of our room and some beaches).
The hotel is a big sprawling site, but it is mainly immaculate property with lots of attentive staff and is a beautiful position in Salalah.
A special mention to Adel (Coco's Bar) and Ben (Breakers Restaurant) for their excellent service and customer friendly attitude.
I missed one star off the overall experience as some parts of the hotel are looking tired now. Our room 8107 had blown glass in the patio doors meaning you couldn't see through the glass. Also, it would be good if there was an excursion booking centre in the hotel, rather than having to go to the Marina (hard work when the person you are on holiday with, struggles to walk).
I would however recommend this hotel to anybody looking for a nice comfortable place to stay.
We traveled as Family with kids in end on June (not high season) so hotel wasn't crowded yet we loved our trip.
*********** Things that can be improved ***************
We were traveling with small kids..We expect kids club to be available even if it is not high end season...
It should be clearly communicated upon booking that Aqua park is closed on Sunday and Monday
Quality of shampoo used is not for a 5 stars hotel
*********** Things that are great ***************
Hotel Location is great.
Bed is very comfortable.
Hotel staff are great and very helpful and attentive. Really customer first
Food taste is great but variety could be better
Great to have the option to have dinner at Al Fanar or Rotana

The room is good but small and dose not worth the price.
The price very high.
Room service is good, and I like the breakfast
Bad smell in Balcony due to the water outside.
Noisy due to construction work near the hotel.
Special mention to the wonderful staff the hotel has, especially staff in their dining kitchen and bell hoopers. The hotel is reasonably well-maintained. A couple of things I would like to bring to the notice of the management is why ain't any dedicated Indian restaurant. Furthermore during the summer months why would they close the pool at 7, nobody is going to enjoy the pool in extreme heat. They would love to enjoy the pool and the view after the sunset as they are on vacation.
A very good hotel with great staff, food, service and with 3 beaches! Located outside of Salalah in Hawana that has a very relaxing vibe. If you want to relax and eat good food ( and buffe ) with the ocean in front of a hotel, then this is it!
The hotel is very nice and has great swimming pools. The breakfast is also excellent with lots of options
I didn’t like the staff overall specially at the reception
Location is also outside the city and we had trouble to park the car because there are limited spaces
