Banana Island Resort Doha By Anantara

Resort is amazing, can’t fault the island and what it offers…..two big issues however. We stayed in a 2bedroom villa with private pool…the pool was a disgrace, loose tiles lying on bottom of pool, tiles coming off all around the pool, in certain places I could put my fingers deep inside where the grout should have been and the pool was caked in mould and dirt. Considering this is a £1000+ per night resort it’s embarrassing how bad the pool was presented to us….i would go as far to say that it was dangerous for our kids. The decking around the pool was also in a shocking condition, we had to get them to screw down decking as my kids had tripped and cut their feet on it ! The staff were quick to try and resolve the issues but the problem is….it should never have been presented in that state in the first place !!! Staff in the Indian restaurant were also rude and we had terrible service on both occasions we were there….at one point we had starters, mains and desert plates on the table because they couldn’t be bothered to clear the table !!! Majority of staff were great and they couldn’t do enough for us but breakfast is another issue….everytime we went there were no tables clean and at one point I counted 7 tables that needed cleaned so either there isn’t enough tables or not enough staff. We stayed in villa 5018 so please whoever stays here next check the pool and you will see what I mean…..we enjoyed our 8 day stay but the above issues really took the shine of it for us

Amazing experience! Great experience

Thank you for great service at the resort and Thank you to Arman with team for the great service. We had a wonderful time.

Great!

SUPER SEMAINE REPOS, détente, avec tout ce qu'il faut sur l'île.

HOTEL PRECISA DE MAIS CUIDADO. APARTAMENTOS PRECISAM DE MANUTENÇÃO TOTAL. FUNCIONÁRIOS SOLÍCITOS. CAFÉ DA MANHÃ MUITO BOM.

Muy mal la relación calidad precio. Todo el dia pendiente del barco y sus horarios poco flexibles

Great place to visit for families with kids. The food was excellent and the facilities are nice. The biggest drawback was the staff - although they were friendly, they were poorly trained and didn’t know how to execute in a properly 5 star setting.

Thank you to Aakif and all the other staff that assisted us and made our stay very pleasant

Beautiful getaway from Doha. Nice resort for couples spend a couple of nights of peace. No alcohol is served. Beach is fantastic and super clean. Need improvement on food and service. Reception must be more organized. Details of staff. Overall great experience

The service staff excellent. They could not do enough to insure my sisters birthday was. a successful one.

We loved every second of our stay at Banana! The Breakfast buffet is insane, the different restaurants on the island are so good and the staff are absolutely unreal; they’re so kind, caring and go out of their way to provide unreal service! Akif the concierge was exceptional and really looked after us!

The room we had was amazing and the views and beach are breathtaking

We had an absolutely wonderful 10 day stay. Resort was amazing and the staff so helpful, attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend :-)

Best resort experience I ever had! Will definitely consider staying here in the near future. Thanks to all staff for their service and ensuring we have a joyful time in the island.

It’s a nice place.

Amazing

Great experience, lovely people, there is a lot that can be improved. Communication with restaurant staff wasn't the best. Zero entertainment at night, nothing to do. Great place but alot of improvements needed on various fronts. Food and drinks are very expensive not worth the money you pay for what you het in return.

Excellent. We reached the hotel at 09.30am,checking was 3pm. Maria at the desk was very helpful and sorted our room within 15mins. She took us personally to our room. Ronald was our host excellent service constant messaging asking if everything is ok. Buggy drivers come round literally every 5/10mins offering a ride. Very relaxing holiday. The staff at the beach constantly greeting us ans asking if we need anything. Qlounge was very nice. Tne indian restaurant food menu was amazing,food was very well presented and very tasty. America. Burger place agian excellent. Breakfast area was amazing, tbe staff were exceptional. So friendly,very courteous, breakfast was buffet but the variety of food and drinks they offered was exceptional. I would rate anantara 10/10. 10 star service from staff.

Niro, Lutfour, Arman, Oussema, Ronald, Suliman, Nithin, and Maria, are some of the amazing staff / villa hosts that were very kind helpful they go Above and beyond to make your stay memorable and comfortable, they made me feel at home
