Well, before writing my review, I read the previous ones and don’t agree too much.
Beach. Pros: clean sand, large umbrellas, large distance between umbrellas, view of skyscrapers, good entry into the water. Well, that’s basically it, there’s basically enough space to reach the buoys, nothing will bite your legs, you don’t need swimming goggles or masks, I’d wear rubber slippers.
Disadvantages: the umbrellas are very high (you will have to move the sunbeds all day to catch the shadow, and this is another pleasure), not everyone understands that if you occupy the sunbeds around the umbrella, then the shadow from it is also yours, you will still have to fight for it) )), well, there are very few sunbeds and umbrellas. If you want to be by the water, get up early; if you don’t want to get up early, there will always be places by the pool (no joke).
Food. (we took meals according to the breakfast + dinner system).
Pros: I left full, spent a full 9 days - 2 times I got crabs, 1 time oysters, sushi was served with strange frequency (2 days there was food, 2 days no), and if there was a kebab, then the meat was delicious, there were nuts, honeycombs, dor blue cheese is always in stock. Well, that’s probably all there is to it.
Cons: Apart from what I listed above, there is almost nothing to eat. The choice is sooooo small and scarce. A lot of different Indian cuisine and all sorts of strange stuff. A bunch of pots that you open, close and move on to the same incomprehensible pan. Almost all soups are terrible, out of 7 different ones, I probably ate 2. All sorts of steamed vegetables, chicken in all sorts of sauces, in short, terrible.
Desserts are a separate issue, almost everything is inedible, I, as a sweet tooth, had nothing to eat, thank you, at least they sometimes gave me sorbet. I didn’t like anything except all the baklava.
Fruits - I eat only watermelons and melon, often the watermelon is overripe, the melon is in small pieces, and for the last 3 days the variety has become tasteless. In short, disappointment.
A separate topic is drinks)))) When you take a table, the waiter runs up and asks what we will drink) So))) in the morning only tea and coffee, and in the evening only water and soda))) the rest is only for money! I'm not kidding, that's how it is)))
The topic of beer in a bar is a separate one, I learned about it in advance, so there is no point in classifying it as a disadvantage, but still, 15 bucks for half a liter of beer is beyond good.
The salad section is still a disappointment; I used spinach leaves and chopped cucumbers. The rest is inedible.
I haven’t eaten sushi, I don’t really like it, although I happily eat it at home. My wife really liked it.
In short, in such a hotel and in such a city I expected more.
Service. Pros: they always smile, try to help, run up, ask, bring.
Cons: sometimes they are sooooo intrusive, almost to the point of madness.
Well, it’s unpleasant for me when I’m eating and in my peripheral vision I catch the glance of a waiter who is trying to snatch an empty plate from me (I understand that the manager forces them to do this, but there is a limit to everything, I caught myself thinking that I’m taking my eyes off them in order to once again I wasn't bothered). We drive on, the waiters don’t take notes, they often forget, you start telling them the whole list, they only bring the last items (apparently those that they remember)). Another case, they forgot to bring me Mirinda, I’m not a proud person - I got up and went to the bar to get it, bodies directly blocked my way, they said: why are you rushing here? I speak for Mirinda! We will bring it to you! Why should I bring it if I already came for it myself? I picked it up and carried it)))))
The second case - the beach opens at 7-00, this is the time when the green flag is raised, although at 6-00 the sunbeds are already all occupied, at 6-45 I decided to swim, the beach boy shouts to me: You can’t swim - there is no lifeguard yet. And the water was completely calm and it was unrealistic to drown there.
After much debate, my wife finally convinced me not to go into the water, but at 7:02 the red flag was still hanging. I showed him my watch and waved my hand, and with all my appearance showed that I was running into the water, he already laughed at me and watched me do the swim.
Well, in general - judge for yourself what is better: indifference or overprotection beyond common sense? !
Numbers. Pros: large, clean, there are 4 bottles of water, a coffee machine, 6 capsules for it and 6 tea bags, replenished every day.
Cons: TV is terrible. The channels there are naturally only Arabic. I went to youtube only using folk ingenuity, and then it froze every 20 minutes, due to the fact that the TV has a weak processor. It reads the flash drive, and the laptop also connects to it via HDMI. So before going to bed I watched movies and entertainment programs. But it’s cringe to put restrictions on the TV in the room for crazy money)))
At first there were 2 robes, then only 1 was left, apparently due to the lack of tips)))) shame))
City: I wouldn’t say that there is really something to watch)))) videos on youtube are much more colorful than the real thing))) But the very cheap and accessible Uber taxi smooths out the disadvantages. Also, in one of the nearest malls we bought beer for 1 buck, non-alcoholic, but still, I love it for the taste and not for the intoxication (also no joke), we bought beer for all days. There is simply nothing to see in the old market of Doha) you will be saturated with the color of the city, but there is simply nothing to buy there))))
Would I recommend my friends to go here? ! Well, most likely yes, there are probably more advantages. You spend 80% of your time on the beach in the shade listening to your favorite music brought from home)))
