And the food is now 20% ...Yes, its a total rip-off. And the food is now 20% more expensive and a lot lot worse. Can't wait for the review Suburban.<BR/><BR/>But maybe theres an opportunity for a local businessman: take great Omani mountain water, and:<BR/>1- put it in fancy dlightly bluish glass bottles<BR/>2- also make a sparkling version! (I prefer my mineral water with bubbles, but there is no Omani one. Why is that?)<BR/><BR/>It is totally crazy that water gets shipped around the world. At hamburger nation the water was from New Zealand. OK, great water.

It's the same at they Hyatt but at least there you can ask for a local water, just make sure to tell them before they bring you the first bottle of rip off water. My issue with the Chedi when I first made noise with them over this about 15 months ago is that the imported water that they serve is no better than Tanuf and they should be proud to serve it. There's no doubt they're ripping off people. But then again I'm writing this from Germany where a 250ml bottle of Coke in a restaurant costs 5 Euro, and earlier this week in Paris 1 liter bottles of water in normal restaurants were going for even more.muscatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15955758251080080159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290779548756793963.post-67755590552911112752008-01-16T19:46:00.000+04:002008-01-16T19:46:00.000+04:00Hi SuburbanExcellent post! have a good dayHi Suburban<BR/><BR/>Excellent post! <BR/><BR/>have a good daydavid santoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976825493652779441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290779548756793963.post-80236885443257602872008-01-16T07:40:00.000+04:002008-01-16T07:40:00.000+04:00Their restaurant used to be really great. Wonderfu...Their restaurant used to be really great. Wonderful atmosphere and great food! I was taken aback with the water pricing but thought what the heck the food will make up for it. Not so I am afraid, the quality of the food was less than average. It (the water pricing) is probably symptomatic of a deeper issue. If the management's mindset is to rip-off customers left right and center they will soon end up with fewer and fewer customers. We have decided not to go there again and understood why the restaurant was relatively empty when we went there (we got seated without prior reservation - a first)!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290779548756793963.post-2819477638801473442008-01-14T22:30:00.000+04:002008-01-14T22:30:00.000+04:00NZM, thanks for stopping by.

Thats funny, suburban.<BR/>I think it's totally true.. they take advantage of the tourists who don't know any better or maybe feel too embaressed to complain about it.<BR/>Maybe I will go their restaurant one day just so that I could complain about the water and then leave :p<BR/><BR/>Great issue and I hope they do something about it.<BR/><BR/>PS: Blogspot has a problem... this post didn't show when I visited the OCB Blog but I found it in my (reader).
