Visit to Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve

It was an amazing experience visiting Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve. Staff are so patient with people (it was holiday when we came, so crowded but they were so patient); foods are great, our room was spacious, accommodating tourist guides. Overall worth it! Although I wonder if they can have Room Service too :)

Nice stay, and turtle watching

It was really great the first night in the tents. The second night though was very loud with some families and children running around making noise until 11 PM. The hotel did come and tell them they had to be quiet which was great, but since they are tents you may hear everything going on.

Hotel mediocre but completely worth it for turtles

The turtle reserve is amazing; it was wonderful to see these magnificent creatures. The tour guides seemed to care about the turtles and their environment. As for the hotel, while the service was very nice and the room was clean, the walls are paper thin, the shower situation is not appealing, and the place is generally old and creaky with a ton of noise at night.

The main attraction is of course the turtle viewing tours. Despite some reviews indicating these were insensitive, poorly run etc, our experience of these was very good. The evening tour was a group of 20, but we felt the guide managed it very well, taking care to interfere as little as possible in the amazing spectacle, often using sub-groups etc. The morning tour was quieter but definitely do both. Hotel itself is fine - nothing special, but does the job well enough. It looks somewhat dated to be honest, but the rooms were clean and bed comfy, which is all you need here really. We found the evening food to be decent and very good value. Breakfast was not so great. We visited in September on a weekday - so I can't speak for what it is like in other times / on weekends when it may be busier.

Good location but disappointing property

Good intention, calm serene place. As we went in August got to see lots of Turtle laying eggs, hatching, baby turtles, sunrise etc. Nice reserve but the property needs some makeover. Not at all true value for money. Highly priced for the rooms with very basic amenities, flush wasn't working properly. Water pressure in shower wasn't good enough. Not enough towels and blankets provided.Breakfast was good and the staff at the restaurants were helpful and quiet supportive.

Lovely eco tent

Lovely eco tent. We were unsure about this accommodation as we were spoilt by 5 star luxury in Muscat but the tents had all the facilities we needed and was clean/ spacious. We were unsure if we would see any turtles as it was off season but we saw 5 which was incredible. My only concern would be the way the turtle visits are conducted. They say to be quiet and not use your torch/ flash but so many inconsiderate guests ignored this. The guides are very loud-not sure how upsetting this is for the turtles. Our guide also pulled a baby turtle that had only been born an hour before out of his pocket and then shone a light on it for all to see-it was quite distressing for the turtle. I am not an expert but certain things seemed to be quite invasive for the turtles. The food at the site was lovely and the staff were incredibly accommodating. Definitely would stay for a short stay again

Godt

Vi havde nogle gode dage på hotellet - personalet var venlige og arbejdsvillige selvom de ikke alle forstod engelsk lige godt. Gode faciliteter og udflugter til stranden for at se skildpadderne - guiderne var super gode og fortalte og svarede på alle vores spørgsmål. På værelset kunne badeværelset godt bruge en opgradering - brugseren var utæt så der var ikke tryk på vandet og drænet kunne ikke følge med - heller ikke i håndvasken. Ellers var det generelt slidt på badeværelset. Resten af værelset var godt. Akustikken var dårlig på fællesområder og det kunne også høres på værelset om aftenen og natten. Morgenmaden var meget god og det var blandt andet mulighed for at bestille 4 forskellige slags æg. Til sidst burde hotellet lave nogle tiltag for at holde stranden ren og fri for affald. Evt bede alle tourister om at tage noget affald med retur efter en guidet tur.

Très mitigé !

+ : L’expérience avec les tortues est juste exceptionnelle, bien que ce soit assez soutenu au niveau du rythme ! Être sur place vous permet de profiter de vous reposer et d’être aux premières loges et prioritaire. Le personnel est très agréable, organisé et respectueux ! - : l’hôtel en lui même ne vend vraiment pas de rêve, les chambres sont sommaires. Le buffet du dîner et petit déjeuner n’est pas très varié. L’état de la plage à certains endroits fait vraiment peur, vous pouvez trébucher à tout moment sur une canette une planche ou une bouteille en plastique. Prenez un sachet avec vous pour ramasser, je ne comprends pas comment on peut s’appeler « réserve » et laisser la plage dans cet état, ils devraient obliger chaque personne à ramasser des déchets au passage pour que cet afflux de touristes sur la plage ait un impact positif. Les guides devraient en faire de même au lieu de donner un coup de pied dedans. Au musée ils indiquent que les tortues meurent avec les déchets c’est complètement contradictoire.

Non ci sono garanzie di vedere le tartarughe. Questo andrebbe scritto a caratteri cubitali. Se andate in inverno e se c’è un po’ di vento, non le vedrete, come è successo a noi. Solo che invece che dire la verità ci hanno tenuti appesi per ore e la mattina ci hanno fatto camminare al freddo senza alcuna ragione. L’hotel è un ostello (vecchio) che si fa pagare una cifra spropositata per un solo servizio, la guida per le tartarughe, che non è garantito. Pensateci bene. L’hotel

The turtle watching priority by being a guest is definitely a plus from staying directly in the reserve. It’s not clear at check-in that dinner is not included. At check-in they just mention the time of dinner but it is not clear if it is included or not. Once you’re welcomed into the dining area, only after eating they ask for the room number and to pay

Awful hotel both in design and operation. Bedsheets stained and dirty. No space or facilites for hanging out outside room (recognising you are literally in the middle of nowhere). Really poor value for money - this place is almost the same cost as a 5* hotel we stayed at in Oman during the same trip, but offered only 1* service.
