Re If you’re looking for the perfect weekend getaway, Sharq Village is the place to be! From the moment you arrive, the stunning beach, beautiful poolside and picturesque surroundings create a truly relaxing atmosphere. What sets this place apart however is the exceptional service. The staff are so welcoming and I would like to give a special thanks to Sheikh, who consistently provides everyone top-notch service and ensures we always have everything that we need. The lunch by the poolside is absolutely delicious, with a wide range of tasty options. My favourite is the grilled salmon salad – it’s a must-try! Highly recommend this place for anyone seeking a relaxing and luxurious weekend retreat!

This establishment consistently delivers exceptional quality and is particularly suited for families with young children. From the initial entry experience to the final departure, every aspect is designed to ensure satisfaction, making it a worthwhile choice for visitors. **I want to extend a special thank you to the staff at Sharq. Their dedication, friendliness, and willingness to go above and beyond made my stay memorable. From the front desk to housekeeping, everyone was exceptional. I appreciate their hard work and warm hospitality. Thank you to all the staff members I interacted with during my stay for a fantastic stay. I will be returning in the future!

Fantastic hotel and resort, the spa is amazing. Pools were great good safe beach for the kids with water sports. The metro station is a 15 min walk away at the National Museum which gives great links to wherever you want to go.

I wouldn’t recommend this hotel at all! The atmosphere is completely lacking—it feels dull and lifeless. For a place with such a big name, the service was surprisingly poor. The staff didn’t seem interested in making guests feel welcome, and the overall experience was far below expectations. The facilities were disappointing. The pool area was uninspiring—no music, no energy, just a bland space that lacked any charm. The beach was even worse—it looked like something out of an abandoned movie set, not a relaxing getaway spot. Now, let’s talk about the food—especially by the pool. One word: shocking! And not in a good way. The presentation? 0/10. The quality? 2/10. The taste? 0/10. Honestly, a 10-year-old could whip up something more flavorful and creative. If this was made by a “chef”—and I use that term loosely—it certainly didn’t show. The food was bland, uninspired, and just plain awful. If you’re expecting a delicious meal by the pool, think again. This was hands-down one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had at the Ritz! Did the pool manager care? Not a single inch. Overall, nothing about this hotel impressed me. Would I stay here again? Absolutely not. Would I recommend it to other travelers? Definitely not. Save your money and choose somewhere else!

I’m not usually this generous with reviews, but this place was nothing short of exceptional. From the warm, inviting atmosphere to the impeccable service, it felt just like home. A truly unforgettable experience!

Our stay at Hilton Salwa Beach Resort was absolutely wonderful from start to finish! The booking process was seamless, and the check-in experience was smooth and hassle-free. We opted for the package that included breakfast and dinner, and the food was exceptional—fantastic variety and delicious options on the menu. Although the water park was closed for annual maintenance during our stay, we still had an amazing time enjoying the laser tag activity with my family. It was so much fun and a great way to bond! What truly stood out was the incredible hospitality of the staff. Every team member we encountered was commendable—friendly, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile. I had requested a birthday surprise in our room with very short notice, and they delivered beyond our expectations. It made our daughter's birthday so special and memorable. Thank you so much to the entire team at Hilton Salwa Beach Resort for making our stay unforgettable. We will definitely be booking again and recommending this resort to everyone! Highly recommended for families and anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway!

I visited last week to celebrate my daughter's birthday. While it's a bit far from town, the experience was worth the drive. The room was spacious, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The beach was clean, which made for a nice atmosphere. We came during the colder season, so we couldn’t enjoy the water park, but the indoor pool was a great alternative. I’m definitely planning to return in the summer to take full advantage of the water activities. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and peaceful getaway.

I had a truly wonderful experience at Hotel Salwa. The property is stunning, with beautiful surroundings that create a serene and welcoming atmosphere. The service was exceptional, ensuring a comfortable and memorable stay. A special mention goes to Mr. Hussein at the front office, whose professionalism and dedication to guest satisfaction were truly commendable. He was always helpful, attentive, and went above and beyond to assist with every request. His warm hospitality made my stay even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Hotel Salwa to anyone looking for excellent service, a beautiful ambiance, and a truly welcoming experience. I will definitely be returning!

The location was a bit far from the city but it was totally worth it. The room was spacious, everyone was welcoming and kind and the room view was incredible. Worth the drive and the staff were kind and helpful. Rambabu and Vine (staff at the restaurant) were really helpful. There is so much to do and explore around the estate and so many activities to keep you engaged. The food was also of great quality and excellent flavour. But many activities mentioned in the website are closed in reality and even the activities which are open, we have to pay for. Excluding that, the stay was amazing.

This resort is one of kind! Located just 50 minutes outside of Doha, it is a place of tranquil luxury, excellent service and formidable rooms. The variety of restaurantes and food quality is exceptional. On this stay we were served at dinner by Tabby, who did her best to accommodate all out requests, always with a smile. I have been fortunate enough to stay at Salwa Beach Resort and Villas by Hilton, a few times now, and every stay has been memorable. As soon as you enter the facilities you are automatically transported to calming and exquisite atmosphere. I highly recommend this hotel for both families, couples and friends who wish to enjoy a relaxing weekend away from city life.

This was our first all-inclusive experience, and overall, it was fairly good—though there were definitely areas for improvement. From the moment we arrived, the check-in process was smooth and well-organized. The staff explained everything clearly, making it easy to get settled. Our room was a little on the smaller side, but the breathtaking view made up for it. We could see the skyline and some stunning national treasures, which added a special touch to our stay. Service throughout the hotel was excellent. The reception staff were very attentive, housekeeping did a great job, and the lobby staff were always friendly and helpful. However, the buffet experience could have been better. While the food variety was decent, the quality and attentiveness of the restaurant staff left room for improvement. The hotel’s facilities and location were excellent—everything was easily accessible, and we had plenty to do both on-site and nearby. Overall, it was a great hotel that lived up to expectations. While there were a few minor issues, we would still recommend it to others looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

We really had a wonderful time at Rixos Gulf. All the member of staff are very professional. A very big thank you to Emerson for his good fitness work out which I have attended every single day. He’s brilliant! I also like to thanks Bella for her outstanding customer service. I would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends and family and I hope to be back very soon.

Ahmad Faruqi

I had an incredible experience at the Rixos Hotel! The lobby is breathtaking—spacious, elegant, and inviting. I was particularly impressed by the exceptional service provided by Farah, the staff member who welcomed me. She was incredibly friendly, professional, and made sure I had everything I needed, setting the tone for a wonderful stay. The decor of the lobby is stunning, with modern touches and beautiful lighting that create a luxurious atmosphere. Every detail was carefully considered, and the place was spotless. I highly recommend Rixos for its top-tier service and magnificent surroundings!

Roshani Moolya

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff is incredibly friendly and always ready to assist. The food is amazing, catering to international guests with a variety of delicious options. The service was top-notch, and the guest relations team went above and beyond by arranging a fantastic surprise. Truly a memorable experience!

Ana Stambuk

We ended up at Rixos Gulf Hotel Doha unexpectedly due to issues with our original booking, and it turned out to be the best decision! From the moment we arrived, the staff was exceptional, especially the night shift receptionist with glasses, who was incredibly professional and helpful. He made sure everything went smoothly for us, which we truly appreciated. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the hotel had a luxurious feel. The breakfast buffet was amazing, with a wide selection of high-quality food—definitely one of the best we’ve had! What started as a stressful situation quickly turned into an incredible stay, thanks to the hospitality and top-notch service. We would highly recommend this hotel and will definitely come back in the future!

We had the pleasure of staying at Rixos Premium Qetaifan Island few days ago, and it was a fantastic experience beyond our expectations! From the moment we arrived, the staff provided a warm welcome, ensuring a smooth check-in process. The room was spacious, well designed, and equipped with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I loved the stunning see view from my balcony. One of the highlights was the all-inclusive package which provides everything free including the breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet with enhanced beverages. The infinity pool, private beach, and, most significantly, free admission to the adjoining waterpark were all free and wonderful; however, some essential rides were closed for renovation, which disappointed us. We thoroughly loved our time at the hotel, and to be honest, it exceeded our expectations. The food was amazing, with a wide range of cuisines presented perfectly. The hotel staff was friendly and attentive, always willing to help. The management should consider extending weekend dinner times by a couple of hours, and it would also be beneficial if live music shows were held in the hotel on weekends. Overall, Rixos Premium Qetaifan Island offered an ideal balance of luxury, comfort, and world-class service. We strongly suggest it to anyone looking for a memorable stay at a 5* hotel in Qatar!

Rixos is a fairly new hotel in an area that is still developing. The staff could use some more experience but I am confident they will manage. I would like to mention one specific person by his first name. Bob! Bob is the best coffee Barista ever. Therefor, I will call him the coffee king of Rixos. His cappuccino makes your whole day good, no matter what. Not too strong, not too weak, not too much milk. Just the way it should be. Made with Italian perfection. There is still some work to be done to get 5 stars, but Bob already gets them from me. Thanks for the hospitality and delicious coffee. With kind regards, Rob from the Netherlands.

It’s the worse hotel I’ve ever been to in my entire life. The service is bad, the rooms are horrible, you’re not allowed to walk around the hotel after 6 pm!!! The bed sheets are ripped and stink. The rooms are freezing (the AC won’t turn off). The food is the same everyday. You pay for all inclusive, but the restaurants inside aren’t free (you only get 25% discount as an all inclusive guest). Please choose another hotel if you want to spend a good time with your family. Also, they should check you in by 15.00 according to their laws, but the rooms weren’t ready by 3pm. I have planned the trip by time, so I could rest after the long flight, however had to spend time waiting in the reception for my room. Also you can’t dial to reception from your room, because they turn off the calls. Well, it’s not a 5 star hotel, even 3 star hotels are so much better for better price. Good luck with this hotel! But wouldn’t recommend it at all

I had an incident at the turquoise restaurant were one of the desserts went bad , blueberry mouse, when tried to highlight to the restaurant supervisor she was in total denial very bad handling instead of taking the note and immediately addressing so there won't be any food poisoning for the guests and my family , which I was feeding from the very same mousse my 18 month baby boy. She kept trying to give excuses for 10 minutes, and all the time I was asking her to try it to know it went bad , but all she had was excuses that it might be chef's special recipe, then finally she agreed to go get the chef , we're he tasted and confirmed my claim and apologised very respectfully. At the end they were trying to offer 15% discount to avoid the embarrassment.

Hotel is good, location next to the water park is the reason we stayed. The hotel has massive potential, and could be as good as other Rixos hotels we have stayed in, if the management could be more visible and assist the staff, the overall experience would be so much better. The waiting, reception, bars etc staff were all very helpful and friendly, they just lack so clear leadership. The Gala dinner was an example of this, although we were asked days before the event want food preferences we had (my daughter is veggie), on the night, the service and meals came out at random times and were often wrong. Pros: Nice pools and good pool bar. Water park is a must if travelling with kids. Shuttle bus to the mall. Cons. Service needs to improve. Food at the buffet although good quality, it was the same every day.
