Amazing stay at Sama Hotel which is located beside Anatara but on higher ground and at a fraction of Anatara’s price. Great view from the room.

Good value accommodation on the Sayq plateau. Rooms clean and functional and a nice, new coffee shop has been added to the main foyer. Water pressure is low and the complementary breakfast is pretty limited

A good mid-price hotel option when staying on the Sayq plateau. The views of the neighbouring Anantara hotel at a fraction of the price. Comfortable, functional room and the restaurant is reasonably priced.

Great hotel! pros: Outdoor heated swimming pool. Amazing views to the canyon. It has a nice area for children to play. Great customer service, the lady in the reception showed without being asked all the things to visit around, how to get there, really good service. There is a gym on the top where you can do exercise while watching the canyon. The room facilities were good, it felt luxurious and useful, the balcony is perfect for watching the sunset. Cons: The buffet is expensive and quality of food is just ok. The area has no public transport, so be prepare to either rent a 4x4 car or take a taxi, it's not a problem of the hotel is just there is no public transport in the mountains area (as of March 2019).

The hotel is about 20 kms from Nizwa in the mountains. You need a 4WD to get there and it takes about 1h1/2. Once there the view is wonderful, sunsets are beautiful and there is a heated swimming pool.

Das Samahotel liegt oben auf dem Bergplateau des Jebel Akhdar auf 2000m Höhe. Die Straße hinauf ist abenteuerlich, aber meines Erachtens kann sie auch mit 2WD gefahren werden (asphaltiert und Steigungen machbar, es gibt schlimmere Alpenpässe). Die Polizei kontrolliert allerdings unten den Allrad und schreibt sich die Personenzahl und das Herkunftsland auf. Bei der Rückfahrt wurden wir nicht wieder "ausgecheckt". Das Hotel ist super und liegt direkt an der Kante zum Canyon mit tollem Blick vom hoteleigenen Aussichtsgeländer oder vom Zimmerbalkon. Es gibt sogar einen kleinen Aussichtsturm und einen Kinderspielplatz. Wir waren auch im Dezember im Außenpool, der ca. 10m von der Kante entfernt ist. 200m vom Hoteleingang startet der w18b Wanderweg durch die Bergdörfer mit den grünen Terrassen. Den haben wir mit unserem 5jährigen Sohn und unserer 3jährigen Tochter in der Kraxe problemlos geschafft. Ein paar Stufen sind allerdings dabei ebenso wie die grandiose Aussicht. Unserem Sohn hat es sehr viel Spaß gemacht auf den Falaj - den kleinen Wasserkanälen zu spazieren. Es gibt keine wirklich gefährlichen Stellen. in 500m Entfernung vom Hotel ist ein Supermarkt, der uns nicht überteuert vorkam für eine Berglage. Auch eine Tankstelle gibt es daneben. Generell: Sehr gutes Hotel mit grandioser Lage an der Kante des Canyons
