La localización está muy bien y la habitación es amplia.
Al llegar allí no había nadie y no contestaban al teléfono. Pasaron unas chicas por allí que nos ayudaron a contactar con los dueños para que vinieran a abrirnos la puerta. La gente en Omán es muy amable y siempre está dispuesta a ayudar. Hay una cocina comunitaria, pero necesitaba una gran limpieza.
the owner himself was available in the guest house so he came to receive us and do the formalities. Beach & wadi al shab is 5 mins drive only from the guest house. the room was big and spacious with a terrace view to beach. Everything (food, Grocery store, beach & activities) at walkable distance. its Safe Place between the local community.
Fan was making noise because of that there was a disturbance in our sleep. the mattress were not comfortable because of the springs in it. food and drinks are not available at the guest house. you need to go out for the same.
This villa is huge and is located near the sea. Our rooms had balconies with sea views. This is just 2-3 minutes from Wadi Shab. The host was helpful especially when there was a water problem, he made a sincere effort to fix it quickly..
Non availability of water for a few hours created a discomfort situation. This could have been avoided had they planned this disturbance ahead. The kettle was dirty and no coffee supplies were provided.
The view
No good restaurant around
Location is beachside
非常不错的民宿,房间很大,装修很新,干净,还有个对着海的阳台。公用厨房设施齐全,可以自己做饭吃。车可以停到院子里,很安全。附近也有便利店及餐厅。位置不错,离Wadi Shab停车场大约900-1000米,住在这儿可以一早进入Wadi Shab,避开相对拥挤的人流。很不错的民宿。

Great location, very close to the Wadi Shab and nice view of the ocean. The room is very big and offered everything we needed.
Perfect location to access Wadi Shab. Clean, spatious room and friendly host. Two great home-cooking restaurants available in the village.
posizione molto comoda tra i 2 wadi, appartamento grande con possibilità di mangiare fuori in giardino quasi in riva al mare
Widok z tarasu.
Brak plaży
Locatie vlakbij Wadi Shab. Wij hadden de 2 persoonskamer met groot 2 persoonsbed. Hele grote kamer en de beste warme douche van de hele reis. Aan de achterzijde van het huis zijn er zitjes buiten op een soort veranda, waar je mooi uitzicht hebt op zee. Op kleine afstand 3 lekkere restaurantjes bij elkaar.
Tijdens ramadan bieden ze geen ontbijt , even creatief shoppen bij de lokale supermarkt.
Ist ganz in der Nähe des Wadi Shab und damit eine tolle Übernachtungsmöglichkeit um dann früh am Morgen das Wadi Shab mit ganz wenigen Menschen zu genießen.
La vue sur le village et la mer est magnifique ! Peu d'infrastructures hotelières proches de Wadi Shab et Wadi Tiwi. Ici, c'est vraiment facile pour l'accès. Le petit déjeuner en terrasse était délicieux également.
Sehr nettes Personal, exzellentes Frühstück mit vielen verschiedenen Früchten auf der Terrasse mit Blick auf das Meer. Sehr schönes großes Zimmer mit direktem Zugang zur Terrasse. Wir waren dort 2 Nächte, haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und von dort zu Fuß das Wadi Shap besucht, machbar in 3 Stunden hin und zurück mit Schwimmen in die Höhle - wunderbar. Am 2. Tag sind wir mit dem Allrad ins Wadi Tiwi gefahren, abenteuerliche Fahrt. Dort haben wir dann einen Wanderweg ins Wadi gefunden, landschaftlich super schön und kaum Touristen, sobald die Straße sehr eng und steil wird.
Sehr freundliches und hilfbereites Personal. Sehr reichhaltiges und schmackhaftes Frühstück Ruhige Lage, ideal gelegen zum Wadi Shab Gutes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis
Die Wohnung war im Gartengeschoss mit zu wenig Fenstern, kaum Sicht auf das Meer.
The location is probably one of the best in Tiwi, considering the village be in the state of eternal construction - closing the windows you can reduce the external noise during the night to a level when you can fall asleep (it seems it is currently not taking for granted in Tiwi. I really hope that all construction works in the village will be soon over and it will become a pleasant place to stay - at least the new promenade looks promising). The location is a gift if you want to be able to arrive to Wadi Shab early, but that's probably the only good thing about the place.
The place does not live up to a "luxury villa" title it proclaims - common spaces (living room, cozy terrace with views of the ocean) are nice, but the rooms aren't. The bed felt like it was built from several parts, sofa was pretty uncomfortable, and there was rather unpleasant smell from the bathroom.
Duży pokój z dużą łazienką - na plus. Łóżko wygodne, pościel i ręczniki czyste. W pokoju był czajnik, woda, herbata, suszarka do włosów.
Brzydki zapach w łazience i brak kabiny prysznicowej. Przydałby się krzesła oraz więcej wieszaków do powieszenia ręczników.
The property itself was basic but nice, with a great view over the sea. Very close to Wadi Shab and Wadi Tiwi, and good value.
Not the property's fault, but the town of Tiwi is not very nice. Very limited food (mostly fast food/only convenience stores), and most of the town is under construction, so loud noises all around from 6am to 9pm.
Rien
Après avoir patienté plus d’une heure de temps devant l’hôtel, et après avoir sonner plus de 50X en plus d’avoir appelé le propriétaire. Personne ne répondais. Le lieu est, on dirait à l’abandon. Nous sommes donc partit d’urgence trouver un autre hôtel, avons contacté le personnel de booking pour expliquer. Ensuite le propriétaire du lieu nous a rappelé et à dit qu’il arrivait tout de suite… sa faisait déjà un moment que nous étions partir. Il a par la suite refusé de nous procéder au remboursement, et est très hautain dans sa manière de parler. Bref, je ne recommande pas du tout.
Everything was great.
The place is meant for Families and Couples. If you are a solo traveller I don't recommend this place. Also this is a seasonal based accommodation I came out of season so the experience was different.
Juste la vue sur mer d’une chambre
Pas de frigot dans les chambres vue la chaleur et l’endroit il fallait avoir sa propre alimentation donc pas ou la conserver Suit à un échange avec le propriétaire il m’indique une cuisine commune dans un état lamentable frigot sale micro onde sale ménage non fais même dns les chambres draps taché immobilier extrêmement abîmer et plein de toile d’araignées Après Nizoi je voulais écourter mon séjour Mais mon mari et mon fils mon soutenue malgré leur déception eux aussi nous avons économiser tt l’année pour des vacances cochlarsesques Juste la proximité avec les Wadi Shab seul point positif
We like the view so good rooms are clean and amazing
We like everything
The room was big and comfortable. There wasn't anyone at the property when we arrived for check-in but upon calling the phone number provided, someone came within minutes.
The breakfast room is cramped, dirty and filled with ants. The food offered for breakfast could have been more interesting.
Lovely guesthouse with water view, veranda and loungeroom. Room was clean and spacious with all the essentials. Bathroom was new, modern and clean.
You need to call a number when you want to check in as no-one is on site except when you call. They are nearby, though, so will turn up quickly. There is no kitchen in the room or for communal use - despite what the listing might say.
Very cozy.
The beds are not comfortable and the bathroom had a weird smell.
Near Wadi shab (4min by car) Nice personal
The room is not equipped as mentioned in my reservation. No spoon, no fridge … Bedding and towel dirty
breakfast was great. location very good.
a couple of chairs in the bedroom would have been good but we were able to use the terrace chairs and brought them in
It was only 2 minutes away from the Wadi Shab so super convenient and the room was really spacious
There was many mosquitos going though the large gaps in the doors, you could hear everything if anyone was around, the coffee and sugar we had in the room was empty/ used and there was literally no one to help you unless you sent them a Whatsapp for them to come, also the room was not made for the following day.
Nothing - Maybe the situation in the middle of the Wadi Tiwi & Wadi shab
Nothing but …
Very good breakfast and nice service
Beds uncomfortable
- spacious room and bathroom - comfortable bed - fantastic shower panel - a sink outside the bathroom (very convenient) - friendly staff - great location - close to Wadi Shab going north & restaurants and shops going south - they offer simple breakfast (even though 3 OMR is probably a bit on the pricey side, it’s a convenient solution when you want to set out to Wadi Al Shab in the morning)
- quite loud (not the owners’ fault but a bit of a nightmare for light sleepers): construction going on in the area, also at night; a loud call for prayer blasted from loudspeakers; additional announcements and jingles coming from a loudspeaker early in the morning - some small things like: only one cup for tea in a double room, only one socket next to the bed, no fridge
The kindness and sincere smile of the boy (from Bangladesh) in charge of the reception made us feel at home. He was very helpful and also good at accommodating our requests for breakfast, which was really abundant.
The room and location
The beach below. It was rugged and rocky. There was construction going on a little further down the shore. There was place should improve once the construction is completed
Location is very good,
It is little expensive, compared the facilities provided
We really had a great stay. It is very close to Wadi Shab and Wadi Tiwi and we loved that we could walk to the restaurant for dinner. We enjoyed the garden with ocean view.
Very clean and nice accomodation and spacious room. Terasse is great and we very welcomed clothes stand where we could dry our clothes. Electric kettle in the room. Beautiful beaches nearby - Pebble beach + Beautiful white beach (google it).
Beds could be more comfortable (one mattrasse was to hard, the other too soft :). But it was ok. We spent 4 nights. Small fridge would be great!
We enjoyed our short stay! Nice clean guesthouse, large bathroom, terrace with ocean view, everything clean. It was exactly what we wanted to be able to hike Wadi Shab early in the morning. Also check-out time was nice.
Just details.. We had to call for check-in, luckily could use the guesthouse wifi as our phones would not have worked without it. Didnt really know if we can use kitchen/fridge or not. Terrace could be great with just minor improvements like new chairs etc.
Very good breakfast. The location in town was great making an easy visit to both Wadi Shab and Wadi Tiwi. For those who like them, the beds were very firm, almost hard in room 102.
The booking description mentioned toiletries which were not provided. Had to ask for drinking glasses. In the booking description it also mentioned the room as 40 square meters, which was definitely not the case. The actual size was adequate but the description is a bit deceptive. The sign for the property on the roadside fence is quite small and the name is in white letters on a grey background, not easy to read from a distance. It might be helpful to mention that the hot water heater has to be turned on, something not every tourist might be familiar with.
The houseboy was very helpful and welcoming, as were the WhatsApp messages sent by the owner. Good Wi-Fi.
The sign outside the property is very small and the name Atlas Wadi Shah is written in white and is impossible to see with the result we drove past. Fortuously, further on down the road, we met 2 other guests who had checked in earlier. They led us to the house and showed us that the door was open. This allowed us to enter, and go on Wi-Fi so we could WhatsApp the owner. The property is unstaffed and The only other contact was a local phone number on the wall outside the house which would only have been useful if we had an Omani SIM - which we hadn’t. The owner needs better signage outside the property and better instructions as how foreign visitors can contact him. The bathroom floods with water from the shower. I would suggest supplying a mop. The owner could think about supplying water/coffee/tea as there is a kettle in the room and it is a welcoming gesture. Also toiletries are not provided which would also enhance the quality of the accommodation.
Practical. In the middle of the city. And 5 min away from Wadi shab You will have little kitten waiting for you 😂
The property was located in a beautiful area near the beach and equidistant to Wadi Shab and Wadi Tiwi, as well as to local restaurants and laundrettes. The property was incredibly clean with excellent amenities. The building manager, Moinuddin, was incredibly kind, helpful and supportive. He does a great job and much respect to him.

The staff were very helpful. The owner came over immediately and drove me to a battery dealer when my car battery busted.
Tea bags were exposes and there was no milk
The pictures on booking.com do not match the property at all!

The owner was a warm and hospitable person. It was home away from home. Loved the location and the view.

The distance to Wadi Shab
A sign outside the gate to indicate the property’s name.
location is ok but view is not that exceptional flexible checkin
a bit expensive for what it offers but the area itself is expensive for accommodation
It was a good location and beautiful property. Good for a group of people.
We were not allotted the exact number of room of made at the time of reservation.
Location just 1 km of wadi Shab and wadi Tiwi is excellent. The terrace has an ocean view, which is nice, but there is much more potential in this matter. Chairs with plastic covers, ugly table...
Luxury on this accomodation is really in its location. The rest is pretty dissapointing in all the remaining aspects. The owner does not care about comfort of its clients or does not know what is needed. Absence of toiletteries was just a beginning. Bad internet, bad equipment and the worst matraces ever! So hard, that I had to sleep on two blankets just to have a little bit of sleep. I complained to the owner, he promissed correction, but I doubt that there will be any.
Big and bright room with excellent view and aircon. The fridge is in the shared kitchen. Sitting on the balcony or in the small garden is wonderful. The drying rack is pretty helpful
A wardrobe or hooks on the door/wall would be great
Everything was nice. The room are beautiful. Nice terrace and garden to enjoy the sea view. Great location to do some wadis (tiwi or shab) or Bimmah sinkhole. They are close and you can enjoy the wadi in the morning before the tourists.
It’s close to wadi Shab and wadi tiwi
The whole house had a very bad smell, it seemed clean but the smell was pungent. Mattress was super uncomfortable.
The reception was very very sweet
All was good
Very close to wadi shab. They have a nice sitting area on the beach.
Dirty and very bad smell in the room. The bed wasn’t comfortable, i woke up with back pain. There was no shampoo, we were lucky we had shampoo with us. They gave us only 2 towels.
Very very very clean and nice view
No thing
Clean and big room
The description was misleading: there was no garden view, the sea view was limited as there was only one small window in the entire room behind the headboard, there was no terrace (although the shared garden is lovely) and there was no bathtub, only a shower. The manager was not polite on the phone.
Quiet , clean place, nice and helpful staff, with a beautiful sea view from the balcony and a BBQ garden also overlooking the sea.
Nothing
Convenient location to Wadi Shab. Perfect for a little getaway. Good value for money.
The step at the door leading from the lounge area to the outside area is very dangerous and high. We all tripped and hurt our toes afew times.
A quiet and beautiful place where they enjoy coffee very much, especially in outdoor sessions ✨ Their coffee is good ☕️
The hotel's breathtaking view, reasonable cost, impeccable cleanliness, and prime location collectively create an extraordinary and exceptional experience.
The location
Astonishingly overpriced for what was on offer
Location was great to get to Wabi Shab and Wadi Tiwi. You can park your car inside the property, so that's nice too. For sunrise or just chilling the balcony and garden is great.
My bed wasn't straight. I woke up with back pain and rolled to one side continueously. It's an ok place, but I'm sure there are better places around with more value for money.
Super Room with Terrace, excellent breakfast.
Atlas Wadi Shab was a very pleasant place to stay, with a beautiful area overlooking the Arabian Sea. Tiwi is just a seaside village with nothing particularly spectacular about it, but the evening we arrived, we did enjoy a stroll along the "promenade" that follows the shore. We arrived close to 9:00pm; the village was quiet; there were fisherman coming in and out of the small harbor, and there were a few children gathered to play soccer. Our family of 5 stayed in a room that was actually very large. There were three different areas, with a "living area" that had a small couch, and then the two other areas each had a bed: one queen, one king. There was one bathroom that was a typical Middle Eastern design. The rooms were very sparsely furnished, but it was all we needed in order to be comfortable; and in fact when we arrived and they saw we had five people (we figured one of our kids could just sleep on the couch), the gentleman who checked us in brought us a rollaway bed without us even asking. It was one of many ways that we found the Omani people to be so very kind and welcoming. When traveling in Oman, we found that all of the places where we stayed used What's App for communicating with guests. this place was no different. We kept in contact with them regarding when we would arrive, and when we pulled up to the guesthouse (in the dark), there was an employee waiting there for us. Once he got us checked in and made sure we were settled with everything we needed, he left for the evening. He was back the next morning when we were ready to check out. Like I said, use What's App to communicate and you'll be good to go. And unlike some of the other places we stayed, Atlas Wadi Shab took credit cards. If you are looking to stay in the area of Tiwi, do NOT miss the Wadi Shab hike!!! It is spectacular and the start point is less than a mile from the guesthouse.
There is nothing we didn't like; westerners visiting the Middle East just need to realize that amenities are different here. You're not staying in a 5 star resort, but that is the beauty of visiting an amazing place like Oman!
