Introduction
My wife and I took a two week trip in December 2006 to visit the UAE (United Arab Emirates), and Oman.

Allamanda Beach Club – The only ‘cheap’ option on East Shoal Bay
Room at Allamanda Beach Club
We stayed at the Allamanda Beach Club, the only cheap option on East Shoal Bay. Of course, cheap wasn’t really cheap – it was still $160 a night, and it wasn’t even technically on the water It was about a 2 minute walk down a path to get to the water. We didn’t have a view, although the rooms on the top floor do (at a premium).
The hotel room wasn’t that nice. It did have a kitchenette with everything you need to cook, but the room was definitely worn – see the pictures at the bottom of this post. At half the prices I wouldn’t care – but at that price, a fresh coat of paint would have been appreciated. There is a pool directly in front of the hotel – but we’re not sure why you would hang out at the pool when there is such a beautiful beach so close by.
This video shows the walk from the hotel to the beach.
