SHANGRI-LA’S Barr Al Jissah Resort and Spa is offering Omani residents and GCC nationals a special summer rate in the five-star Al Waha Hotel. Only during this period the superior seafacing rooms will be offered for OR65++ ($169) per room, per night, including breakfast in Samba, the South American all day dining restaurant.
The promotion runs until August 31.
Al Waha is the largest of the three hotels at Shangri-La’s Barr Al Jissah property and comprises 302 bedrooms with a minimum room size of 32 sqm, each offering guests either a balcony or patio.
The resort’s children’s club, Little Turtles, offers a wide range of supervised activities for children of all ages. There is an air-conditioned indoor area as well as an outdoor play area featuring an old Omani dhow. Kids’ facilities also include a toddler’s pool with a rubber-cushioned floor and a separate pool for older children in the shape of a water mushroom.
Babysitting facilities are also available so parents can enjoy an undisturbed evening in one of the resorts’ many food and beverage outlets (six main restaurants, seven casual dining outlets and pool bars, three lobby lounges, two bars and a nightclub) in the knowledge that their children are being professionally supervised.
The 250m ‘lazy river’ presents an unusual method for guests to travel between Al Waha and Al Bandar hotels by floating on the controlled current in between the hotels' main swimming pools. Guests can relax and enjoy something to eat or drink at Al Bandar’s many food and beverage outlets then float or drift leisurely back again to Al Waha.
