Here are just a few:
  • Free breakfast on Award stays. Breakfast is the quality that you'd expect at a five-star hotel.
  • Coupon for one afternoon tea for two in the lobby. With all the food/pastries they give you, it's essentially a free lunch.
  • Free cooking class for two. This was really cool - the Head Chef at the hotel taught a class on how to make Omani food. A $120 value.
  • Free drink coupons for every night of the stay.

Overall this is an excellent property. Although Oman is quite far from the USA (no direct flights yet), it is a hidden gem.
I got none of these when I stayed a few months ago, was an uphill struggle even to get a guaranteed late check out.
