This resort offers a great base for exploring Jebel Shams, with clean and spacious bungalows that provide a comfortable stay. The friendly and hospitable staff add to the experience, but check-in timing and dining options leave room for improvement. It's worth noting that the location is a big selling point, especially for hiking enthusiasts, while some facilities seem less than ideal.

The hotel has an impressive location for those looking to hit the hiking trails early, but it comes with some challenges. While the views from the surrounding mountains are stunning, the resort itself lacks allure and remains a bit of a construction site. The service felt disorganized, and the food options were limited and cold. Overall, it isn't the best value for the high price, especially given the basic accommodations and amenities.

Sama Heights Resort offers an incredible experience amid the stunning Jebel Shams mountains. The Mountain View chalets are spacious and cozy, providing a lovely retreat after a day of hiking. However, the dining options could use some improvement, particularly during breakfast, and not having Wi-Fi might be a drawback for some. Overall, it's a beautiful place for nature enthusiasts looking for a unique stay in the mountains.
