We went to Intercontinental on 29th May, 2026 to celebrate our son’s 12th birthday. It was a great experience. It was a sunny day yet the staff at the pool made sure to make us comfortable with umbrellas, chilled detox water and their presence at all times. We had our lunch at The Tomato Restaurant which turned out to be an excellent idea. Mr. John Edward was extremely friendly & jolly to talk too. He came to know that it was our son’s birthday so he organized a surprise cake for him and all the staff came along singing to wish him. It was such a beautiful pleasant surprise 😍 Ms. Corazon was very good to talk to and in advising us the best dishes from the menu as per our taste. She took care of our & kids choices very well. Mr. Souwik diligently served us with a pleasant smile & his service was excellent too. The Pool Beach Club with a Jacuzzi & Ice Plunge was extremely amazing to spend the hot day with peace. Truly a superb day well spent with the fantastic staff efforts at the Intercontinental. I would highly recommend it and all the staff mentioned for their premium service to one and all. Thank you so much for making our day special & wonderful ✨✨

I had such a lovely day at InterContinental Muscat with my friends using the day pass. The pool was absolutely amazing—beautiful, clean, and perfect for spending a relaxing afternoon. 🏊‍♀️✨ The pool bar also has a great menu. I had the chicken sandwich, and of course, it was absolutely delicious! 😋🥪 The service from the staff was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. Definitely a great place to spend a day by the pool with friends. I really enjoyed my time here and would happily come back again! 🌴☀️

Dear InterContinental Team, I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to the entire team for the exceptional service and hospitality I have experienced during my stays. I believe I missed mentioning some important team members in my previous message, and I would like to recognize them as well. Special thanks to the Duty Manager, Basem, and Hussam, with a special appreciation to Basem for his outstanding support and professionalism. I would also like to thank Mohammed from the Front Desk team. My appreciation extends to the Lounge team, including Alia, Daoud, Mariana, Lisa, and Anna, for their kindness, attention, and warm hospitality. I would also like to recognize the Full & Bridge team, especially Mr. Maher, Faisal, and Ghaida, for their excellent service and continuous support. A very special thank you goes to the Housekeeping team, who have always made me feel at home during every stay. My sincere appreciation to Sadoul, Anfool, Ronit, Rabin, Ajibi, Vandas, and Ferdah. Their dedication, care, and attention to detail truly made a difference and reflected the highest standards of hospitality. The InterContinental has become like a second home to me, thanks to the wonderful people, management, and level of service. I highly recommend staying at this hotel, as the quality of service truly matches the value of the rooms and provides guests with a feeling of comfort, trust, and being welcomed as part of a family. Thank you once again to the entire InterContinental team for making every stay a memorable experience. Warm regards, Firas

It is clear that the management of this hotel has trained the staff to satisfy their guests over trying to save for the hotel. It is reflected in non-stingy attitude which empowers them to give and satisfy the customers. Great value for money. Staff attitude is exceptional. All working towards customer delight. Nice place. Clean place. entertaining. Negatives: Noise coming from W hotel adjacent to the hotel.
