First light and everything was beautiful. The grounds are landscaped with exotic greens and flowers, stunning. The hotel itself is huge, it took us forever, and the help of the doctor at the clinic, to find the restaurant the night before. Once we got the hang of it, we realized we were centrally located to the Gulf of Oman, the pools and all the restaurants. The more we saw of the landscape, it was like looking at Mars; the mountains and colors are so different here, truly unreal.
