What you'll do

Sur Plaza is a sensible family hotel choice because it is central, simple and well placed for the things parents actually want to see in Sur.

It gives you a pool, restaurant and a reliable overnight stop between Wadi Tiwi, Ras Al Hadd and the dhow yards, which makes the east-coast route much easier with children.

🎒 Bring & wear

Swimwear, change of clothes and shoes that are easy to slip off for the pool.

💡 Family tips

  • Use this as the east-coast overnight if you want a cheaper, more practical base than a resort.
  • The pool is useful after a wadi or dhow stop.
  • Book early in turtle season because Sur rooms can tighten up.
