“I note its prime beachfront location and exclusive private beach access as a major draw. The sheer scale of the ballroom-Muscat's largest-positions it as a leading venue for significant events. While family-friendly amenities abound, the spa's ladies-only area suggests a thoughtful approach to diverse guest needs.”
