This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!

A beautiful and serene venue. Thank you for sharing. Btw, have you thought of including hotel reviews for Cyprus?

@tfft 22 күн бұрын

I have, many times… but it’s a very ‘risky’ destination for something like this. Possibly not enough name (Cyprus itself) or brand (hotels) recognition to make videos there financially feasible to feature before I have hundreds of thousands of subs. The primary disadvantage of being self funded- there’s gotta be a possible ROI.

@CyclespeedTours 22 күн бұрын

We visited Oman last year and loved it. We considered the Jumeirah, but felt it was just too isolated and far from everything, and a more central Muscat hotel was much better for visiting everything.

Not likely, I’ve backed off of Urban hotel videos from most places as they simply don’t perform well enough to make it worth the time (and money) put into them. Some more resort-y properties from Aus in the future, perhaps.

Kevin another excellent video and content. Glad that we are done with Mexico and back to more interesting parts of the world hehe. Having been to the property and a frequent Jumeirah guest (Jumeirah gold for a few years), a few comments The property can feel crowded if fully booked compared to their Dubai sister properties at Madinat. The adult pool is not practical if you want to get a sun tan. Who thought that those wooden structures were a good idea when the place largely targets Europeans aside from Arabs rather than Asians! There is no enough sitting space at the adult pool and the beach can get crowded. Given how relatively isolated the hotel is, the restaurant choices are lacking again compared to Madinat. You are right re prices in peak season vs low. However, I find that Oman sees less of a hike than Dubai (Dubai prices can be x 3 in peak seasons except for the Burj Al Arab due to its higher prices even in low season) Your hotel content is probably the best out there. A suggestion from me would be to provide a more detailed description of the sea and pool experience including aspects as the pool/sea side service when you are reviewing resorts as that is a big part of the experience.

@tfft 22 күн бұрын

Appreciate that and thanks for the suggestion. I’m not against it but it’s one of those things that spending time on could potentially end up taking time away from another aspect. I know we’re just talking about 20 seconds or so, but there are a lot of ‘just 20 seconds’ categories that I could dive into that just add up. So this is one thing that I call out specifically only when it’s above or below average. Similar to noise bleed in rooms or accessibility, etc.

If I'm going to travel across the world to see Oman, I'm not going to stay at a secluded lux beach resort that I could find close to home. I'm going to stay in the heart of Muscat and experience the culture and unique attractions.

@tfft 23 күн бұрын

Muscat is not a cbd/old town walking city type of place- it is spread out over a large area and this is considered part of it. All of the hotels worth visiting are in the same category.

@erichuang1251 23 күн бұрын

I spent more than half of the year working my corporate NYC job remotely from Japan and the Mediterannean, Norway, UAE, and Oman on leisure. This is a horrible take. I've seen more than 70+ city centers and experienced culture. The reality is that there is a balance and you're not morally better for scheming some luxury hotel to stay in the center of the city and spending like you're a broke 20s european backpacker.

@michaelj3282 21 күн бұрын

Make sure you fly or drive to Khasab in Mussandam, it's like the Norwegian fjords (some towns only accesiable via boat). You won't regret it. Salalah and the south of the country is amazing too, then there's the mountains... (Can you tell I love the country).

@robertmarton8858 22 күн бұрын

Ok. I’ll say it. And respectfully. Your hotel reviews are always of a high quality. But you should think about staying 2 nights. So many reasons: we don’t need to hear about the hotel you stayed at near the airport before going to the review hotel. Get your rest for a night at the review hotel and really tell us your experience. When the hotel messes up, we can really see their customer recovery rather than a bill adjustment. And we never see the pool experience, what pool side goodies if any are offered, the daytime meals and service and the resultant true experience you have during a full day. I understand why you only stay 1 night, but staying longer might help you avoid the formulaic nature your reviews sometimes develop.

@tfft 22 күн бұрын

Appreciate the feedback, but I’d also respectfully say that it’s a flawed, well actually, impossible logic to apply. The airport hotel comment has nothing to do with this video’s content, it’s simply a passing comment for those who follow the channel since my flight landed at 3AM… As for the nights. Sure, 2 would make a better video, 7 would make an even better video. Same as a 14 hour flight makes a better video than a 2 hour flight- but if all hotel stays needed to be 2 nights, there would simply never be another hotel video published on my channel, ever. In the best of circumstances every video would lose money. So sure, 2 nights is better, but cash raining from the sky would be nice too… but neither are actually possible. I do the best I can while actually self funding. For these channels that publish 4 night stays at $1000/night hotels each week, I’d suggest questioning how it’s funded if they don’t disclaim a sponsorship from the hotel they’re reviewing.
