I'd prefer Marriott/SPG or IHG properties, but the available properties do not seem to be along the coast. (Either that, or I am misreading the map.)
Thanks!
You might well be misreading the map: the two principal IHG properties in Muscat (IC and CP) are bang on the coast in the chic area of Shati al Qurum/Qurum (mangrove beach). The HI in Salalah is on the beach, too.
The Muscat Sheraton is in the business dstrict.
