Belad Bont Resort: A Relaxing Stay with Room for Improvement Belad Bont Resort is a 4-star property with friendly staff, particularly Fakhri at reception and Usama Puttar. Its location is convenient, close to hypermarkets, a gas station, and Salalah Port. While not directly on the beach like some other resorts, it offers easy access to Maghsail, Airfeet, and the Yemeni border. We stayed in a chalet, which was excellent and spacious, although a bit pricey. Housekeeping was good, though not quite hotel-level in terms of thoroughness. The large swimming pool with a separate kid's section looked inviting, and the resort also offers a gym, sauna, steam room, and jacuzzi (which I didn't use during my stay). Parking is secure within the resort compound, but guests cannot park directly at their chalets except when arriving or departing. The dining staff were all very friendly and helpful. However, I would recommend avoiding the resort during peak seasons like Eid holidays or Khareef (the monsoon season). The dining hall can get crowded, and guests may need to eat outdoors by the pool, which can be windy or humid. While breakfast is included, it fell short of expectations for a 4-star resort. I've had better breakfasts at 3-star hotels. Additionally, the resort requested identification for all guests, including my children, which was more than any other hotel or resort I've stayed at. The pool closing time of 7:00 pm was also inconvenient, especially for those wanting to swim after sunset to avoid sunburn. Despite these shortcomings, I would consider returning to Belad Bont if they address some of these issues. I did mention my concerns during my stay.
