Nice two bedroom villa, great spa facilities, and some of the best kid’s club hosts we’ve come across. Great splash pool for younger kids.

    “Why go all the way to the Maldives when you can enjoy a beautiful getaway right here in Qatar? It was our first time at Banana Island Resort Doha by Anantara, and we had a blast! The room was incredibly spacious, and the bathroom was huge! The breakfast buffet offered a great variety of options. The staff were polite, friendly, and always helpful. We also loved the free-flowing cold water available by the pool and beach. The food was delicious, especially at Ted’s and Q Lounge. Next time, we’re looking forward to trying Al Nahham. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. If you’re thinking about the Maldives, why not go local instead? Banana Island is definitely worth a visit and will not disappoint!”

    “I like the resort family friendly lots of activity for kids and adults.”

  • Perfect. It is not a great value when it is hot, because it is hard to enjoy the adventure park in the heat.
