Thanks for providing a hotel that is suitable for vegetarians

by DimpyMathur

It took us a lot of time to decide on the perfect package for Oman, since we had never been to that side of the world. But HolidayMe people were really quite patient, and they helped us out with all our queries. All of Oman is beautiful, but Salalah is especially beautiful. There is a feeling of tranquility in the air, and it is a good place to bring your family. It is very safe, and we took walks in the night near our hotel, which was enjoyable. The hotel was also a good one, and the food was customized because we are vegetarians.

A great way to explore Oman

by Gautam Bose

The first time I went to Oman was for work, and I didn’t get to visit any touristy places. This time, with my wife, and help from HolidayMe, I managed to cover all major destinations including Salalah, a peaceful city.

10/10 for Holidayme

by Kiran Singh

Well my Oman trip from HolidayMe was a great success. I got to visit all the major tourist attractions, including Souq Al Haffa in Salalah. It was a vibrant marketplace, and a lot of bargaining was going on. Picked up some great souvenirs.

Expensive considering what they offer..

by Naina Ansari

Our trip to Oman was doomed from the start. The package we booked from HolidayMe was too expensive. The hotel was not at all good, and the food was very bad. We spent most of our holiday in Salalah and it was not a very good experience. I would not recommend going on such a package which offers so less value to travelers.

Hotel was not upto mark

by Dean Singer

The room service was a bit too slow for me. Had to call 3 times for my club sandwich. But the city of Salalah itself is a beautiful one, the locals were pretty helpful too. I would love to come back. Must ensure HolidayMe puts me in a better hotel. I wouldn’t actually mind a few more discounts as well.

Good package & deal, not so good destination

by Rob Black

I have taken packages from HolidayMe a few times earlier, so my first thought was to buy my Oman package from them as well. Not a bad choice, since the package they designed for me was a good one, and they ensured I got some fair discounts. I travel a lot, and can’t say I was too impressed with the hotel in Salalah.

Thanks Holidayme

by Mira Khan

HolidayMe did a commendable job of designing the perfect package to Salalahfor us. This was to be our honeymoon trip, and also some of our relative live there so it was a good option. The hotel in the package was a good one, and we got a free upgrade because the room we had booked had some technical issues. Salalahseemed quite green and lush, and there are many shopping opportunities. Thank you to the team for making this one a memorable trip for my husband and myself. We would love to come back here again, maybe next year.
