Its value for money, worth a visit. Lovely views, observation deck for sunrise. Best ever buffet breakfast, lots of variety, good taste and friendly staff. Kids are going to love the place, the mini water park is quite enough for them, also got a kids day care with activities. Lots of activities for adults as well though some are a bit expensive. Room size is also very good.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at one of the sea facing villas at Banana Island. From start to finish, everything was magical - the ambience, hospitality, amenities and more. We thoroughly enjoyed our delicious meals at Al Nahham and Riva, were rejuvenated at the spa, and had fun walking around the the beautiful property, and taking advantage of the bowling alley and cinema. A special thanks to all the staff who were extremely hospitable - Arman, Amin, Esther, and Sanjeev - thank you for making such a welcoming environment for us! Hope to revisit again soon!

I had one of my worst vacation at banana island starting from the location of my villa till restaurants. I made my booking by calling the resort I didn’t get the professionalism feeling from the team I called until I asked to speak with the supervisor. Then they helped me with the type of villa with more privacy. Then they checked me in a villa on the entrance of the resort literally the villa is seen by every single guest. And while I am waiting for my villa to be cleaned I visited the arabic restaurant Alnaham I entered 1:30pm I didn’t get my food until 3 pm when I asked about my food I have told that they give it to another table by mistake All in all, I don’t recommend going to the island to everything is old and you will feel like you entered 2014 era once you landed in the island…

Very great hotel. Service on the top level. If you want to experience luxury to its best - chose villa with the the private pool. Seamless check in experience, you get your private butler team (thank you Agnes and Ramzi for making our stay great). All the special requests were attended very quick. Special thank you to Helaka and Pravin.

The amount you pay, you would expect a 5 star service or even something along those lines. However, our first disappointed was that not ALL activities were free but during booking we were told that it would have been free. E.g. bike hire was not free, bowling alley was not free. However, we had to pay as it was something for the kids to do. Also, we went to the Q restaurant and we ordered the kids food beforehand but they were served a frozen pizza that had clearly been microwaved or put in the over (stale and hard). But the lamb biryani at the restaurant was really nice.

Amazing views of the whole island. You felt like you escape from the city. Nice ambiance and delicious food of the restaurants. Thank you Lizel and Lalyn for taking care of me going back to doha as the sea is rough and I felt little bit dizzy. Excellent service from the staffs.
