👍👍 We went on a day pass, it was Qr.350 per person. The luxury boat departs from Shyoukh Port at 9am, it is a half an ride to reach the banana island. In that Qr.350 ticket we get vouchers - Qr.50 for water ride, Qr.200 for food can use in any of their 4 resturants there and free swimming pool / beach... People often mention island, staff, good, experience, resort, service, time, boat, nice, Banana,

    it is so bad i want to give you a zero but that's not possible, so i give you a one Poor experience, and price doesn’t equal the value When i pay 6000 QAR for stay I expect to get an extraordinary experience, not basic, and basic is what i got, and in some area it was below average Activities on the island are closed by sunset or 7:00pm, few activities maybe 2 bowling and movies stay until 10 pm which is for me is abnormal, unless you are considering yourself a family resort, than you shouldn’t charge people with that price Breakfast is below average and very limited options Beach area is basic Transportation between Doha and Banana island is disaster, they only have 7 trips from 1pm to 7pm is if you want to enjoy the night activities at Doha because there is nothing to do in the resort it will be a hustle (honestly nothing, there is no decent Restaurants or cafe, at least they could’ve had Starbucks but it is as well not there, and the only coffee options available are Nespresso or espresso machines) Parking almost made me cry, when i checked out the valet guy brought my car, it was boiling inside, when asked why is the car is super hot he told be because we park it her and pointed to the place, it so random parking spots the doesn’t suit a luxurious resort. I don’t recall any hotel or resort that i have stayed in past that will not have a legit parking place that is covered or at least have some trees. I will try to get some pictures of how the parking looks like so you get how bad it is

  • 1/5 Honest M. 11 months ago on Google
    I stayed in this Resort with my family from the 22 of April until the 24th 2023, we took a 2 bedroom villa, and it was an absolute nightmare!. I came with high expectations based on the reviews, photos and the videos I saw, but it turned out to be a complete disappointment. I will summarize my experience below: 1- The experience at the main Shoyokh port was so chaotic, the crowds were filling the space with no order, the AC was off, the boat moved 15 minutes late. I know its Eid time, but this is not an excuse. 2- The luggage arrived late, I had to call the reception 3 times in order to have the luggage at the room! More than 45Min late! 3- The food experience at the AlNaham restaurant was terrible. The food portion and quality were extremely poor, and the prices were too high. I paid 1500QR for a small portion of badly grilled meat and a seafood platter with an old, smiley lobster, I called the chef and he was a bit sarcastic about! The same bad experience continued at TEDS restaurant where I paid 1000QAR for a frozen burger and badly made chicken wings and nachos. I had no problem in spending more money on food as I came ready for that but the food is extremely below average in terms of quality, presentation, variety and taste. 4- There was no any interesting activities at all!!!, even though it was Eid time, the island at night is so dead! Zombie land. 5- There was no supermarket or any grocery store that could save us or give us a choice to stay away from the horrible restaurants, 6- The landscaping inside the villas or around the island needs to be taken care off, as there are too many dried leaves the ground, the plants and trees are randomly growing The list goes on and on… The only good thing about my stay was the staff who were courteous and helpful. However, that did not make up for the terrible experience I had. Overall, I felt like a hostage on this island, with no escape from the bad food and lack of amenities. It was a relief when I finally left this place behind. I would not recommend this resort to anyone looking for a luxurious vacation.

    I recently had the opportunity to stay at this resort with my family from April 22nd to 24th, 2023, and unfortunately, our experience did not meet our expectations. While we had high hopes based on the reviews but the reality of our stay was disappointing. Upon arrival, we found the process to be disorganized. The crowds at the Shoyokh port were overwhelming, the temperature was so high with no proper air conditioning, also, our boat was delayed. Our luggage was also delivered late, taking around 1 hour to arrive despite our repeated calls to reception. The dining experience was equally disappointing. Both AlNaham and TEDS restaurants served small portions of low-quality food at high prices. Despite our willingness to spend more money on meals, the dishes were poorly presented and lacked variety and flavor. We found no other dining options on the island, leaving us with no choice but to continue dining at these restaurants. In addition to the unsatisfactory dining experience, we also found the resort lacking in activities. Even during the Eid holiday, the island was dead at night, with no entertainment or options for recreation. The absence of a supermarket or grocery store on the island made matters worse. Furthermore, the landscaping around the villas and the island was not well-maintained, was also very old and seems never maintained. In conclusion, I would not recommend this resort to anyone looking for a luxurious vacation. The shortcomings in arrival, dining, activities, and landscaping, overshadowed the helpfulness of the staff, leaving a disappointing impression on my family's stay.

    I've been to banana island countless times since opening and it's a marvelous resort and lovely experience. Experienced staff, great food, amazing nature and nice activities. The low rating is for one reason and consider it as a WARNING. the membership program is a total failure, when I joined and paid around 2500 Qr I thought I'm going to get a privilege over regular guests which is exactly the opposite. Every time I call for making a reservation and give them flexibility of one week or two they reply that all are reserved. If you call again but with regular payment you will get a reservation which makes me feel like I'm asking for free stay not something I paid for. Bottom line, banana is a great experience that you will always remember, just don't go for membership.

  • 4/5 Tiana S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Along the entire promenade there are these boats, you can rent any. The boats themselves are designed for large groups of tourists, about 30-40 people, but it is possible to agree that a steel company or even one person can ride, as there are very few tourists and the price will not differ much if for a large group of tourists. (Original) Вдоль всей набережной стоят эти лодки, можно взять любую на прокат. Сами лодки рассчитаны на большие группы туристов, примерно на 30-40 человек, но можно договориться чтобы прокатилась и стальная компания или вообще один человек, так как туристов там очень мало, и цена будет не сильно отличаться если за большую группу отдыхающих.

    I used to visit banana island and was very good. Since last year till today, the services became extremely terrible. 1. Delayed 2 hours due to booking issue as their reservation center does not answer their manager. Similar managerial issues existed more than twice in thesame visit and supervisor Mr. Ali cannot resolve the issue. The rates were different than what we have booked too. They said may be a mistake in the system. Their manager is so childish and could not resolve any matter. 2. Room services do not respond and you have to call multiple times. They will only bring one item at a time and they won't answer your calls mostbof the time. 3. A/c inoperative for one night and no one is able to maintain it evening time. 4. Internet connection unstable allover the island and even inside the rooms. Every time you idle the phone, you need to sign in again for WiFi. Something stressful. 5. Coffee machine and fridge were very smelly. No maintenance nor servicing for items in the room. 6. Once arrived we found bedsheets with chocolate stains. 7. They do not apologise for mistakes which became their culture. 8. Restaurants became over expensive and no more buffet services. Be careful of that.

    We stayed at a 2 bedroom villa with sea view, it was amazing! The trip from Doha to the Island was very organized. The electricity plugs in the villa might need maintenance as not all of them were working. The service was great overall but slow sometimes. Otherwise, the place and the experience were great and would highly recommend it for families. The best time to visit might be during Spring, as Summer was boiling hot, but enjoyable with the swimming and water activities!

    This was amazing experience and its good for a two nights or more if you are willing to literally cut off from the city We tried it on a weekday so I don't know about the experience on the weekends but its a must due to travel restrictions. The hospitality service is great the team is well trained. I think you also should try the restaurants the quality is 5/5 and specially the Italian restaurant. Make sure to bring things that you need from a supermarket since you won't have access to one. Don't forget to try the golf the "9 hole" one you will like it 👍👍

    (Translated by Google) It is the boarding place for the Banana Resort, considered by many to be one of the most enchanting places in Doha. I didn't have the time to recarm but already from the beauty of the boarding place one can sense the excellent quality of the Resort itself. In the evening the landing stage also offers an extraordinary play of lights. (Original) É il posto di imbarco per il Banana Resort da molti considerato uno dei posti più incantevoli di Doha.

    Overall the experience was great and the place was really beautiful! All staff were very polite and accomodating, very friendly and professional. The Qar 350 day pass was worthit. It includes 200 food voucher and 50 worth for activities(kayak, banana ride,jetski but ofcourse you have to pay the difference- for us did kayak worth 50 and also bike rental for 50.And since there were not much visitors, they told us to just enjoy even if it exceeds the timing of rental. The beach was magnificent , we loved the warm pool at Qlounge, kiddie pool was also good but needs a bit of maintenance maybe some fresh paints and flooring touch up will do. The beach water was very clear but we were not able to dip coz water is cold. You dont have to worry about the towel everywhere you go, the staff will automatically offer and also give you bottles water! how cool is that! Lunch was okay @Qlounge, then we had snack at Teds - love the american food. We will surely come back!

    A nice resort with a lot of privacy in the villas. It’s perfect for family’s because there is no alcohol within the resort. The entertainment facilities(bowling and cinema) are decent, there are other water activities but they tend to be a bit on the pricier side. TLDR definitely worth a visit if possible. 👍🏿

    It was just a fabulous time visiting one of the top destinations in Qatar.Banana Island is a peaceful and private place. And the warm welcome n gesture once we reached there while coming out from the boat is awesome. Do visit once.

  • 4/5 Abdullah M. 1 year ago on Google
    Overall great place, definitely expensive. I give 3 star based on few service issues i faced like toilet flush was not working very first day and took bit of time, hot water was not coming so cold shower, we have extended our visit but keys were deactivated and we were not informed, floating cafe was good but music was like 4 year old birthday party, towels are old and pillows were pathetic, need to make this place lively as is almost dead immediately after sunset. Last but the worst is on the way back, when I reached Doha, got to know they left my luggage in the resort. But good thing is they managed to deliver it to me in my next hotel in Doha. So those leaving with a flight to catch, ensure they board your luggage. But let me tepl you there are many positives like kids enjoyed alot, food variety is there though expensive, rooms are well designed, lot of drinking water for free every where on the island and ample swim towels for every body, staff is nice so overall a good place

    Great peace of mind . Feels special by their service..not crowded..good privacy..tasty multicuisine food ..it was absolutely fun to roam around the island during night time ..best for couples / family. . Booked for 1 night stay deluxe room .. breakfast complementary..boat services from corniche to island is included..room stay is my personal preference than day pass as island's night view is so pleasant..rooms are clean and luxurious..there are buggy facilities to travel within the island ..also bicycles are available.

    Nice place to stay in Doha. The 25 minutes boat ride is amazing and luxurious. Stayed at Junior Suite, huge, clean and has a wonderful view. Service is impeccable. The beach is clean and sea is calm at the time. Breakfast with many varieties. Many types of restaurants to try for lunch and dinner.

    My wife and I stayed at Banana Island during our honeymoon in March 2022. The hotel and its staff were outstanding. We would absolutely stay there again. In particular, Sumira and Atish from the breakfast staff were very courteous and helpful, making the breakfasts each morning one of the highlights of our stay!

    Our trip to banana island resort on the boat with our hostess, Ms Lisel to and fro the island was smooth. She ensured we had a smooth ride, and briefed us about the safety instructions as well. Her welcome and hospitality was commendable and we were all smiles once we left. Great work! We highly highly appreciate Ms Kristen at the reception, who gave us an amazing pricing o check-in to the resort. We had come to the island with a day pass, planning to leave by evening..but decided to check-in thanks to the superb hospitality at the resort. We wouldn't have been able to do this without Ms Kristen's help. The recreational activities, especially bowling was our favourite activity considering the weather was really unfavorable for water sports activities that we definitely missed doing. We are happy we got complimentary vouchers for enjoying more of our favorite activity Our experience at Al Nahham restaurant for lunch was memorable. We thank Ms Malika for her service and all staff there who catered to our needs. There was one male staff (from Bangladesh) who's name I cannot remember, unfortunately. We highly appreciate His service from suggesting us food and offering us complimentary tea. And ofcourse since we decided to check-in last min, we were low on our phone battery and he offered us his power bank to help us out. For dinner we tried Ted's burgers..the staff there were quite welcoming and helped us chose our meals at an affordable rate. The resort manager, all staff I wish I could remember their names, Ms swati and others at the reception went out of their way and offered us their help with arranging charging cords for our phones. Ms Sanita ensured we had a smooth check out the next day. Overall, this was a memorable experience for my family. The hospitality, food, room service, the security and all staff of Banana Island, we thank you for making our stay so comfortable and lovely. Looking forward to coming back soon.

    A very nice place that deserves to be visited with a very good service. The boats needs to be renovated from inside, same boats are used since 2014 and now the seats are really pale color.

    I made my booking through Agoda before I even arrived to Doha and I at the port 15 minutes ahead before the 3 pm trip so that I manage to arrive on same 3 pm check-in time. However it was very discouraging whenever I was asked to set with my family and NOT allowed to even take the trip to the resort. They said that my booking is not confirmed. Although I had booking confirmation from Agoda.

    Best place for a classy vacation ($$$) A resort in a separate island just for the good times...day and night! Best food...Best rooms...Best customer service...Best of the beat of everything. I'm amazed that it available and not fully over booked....seems they are nor doing a good job in advertising. Just wish they have a nother look into the lighting controls of the room. But the room is absolutely fantastic. See the pictures

    At the outset, I would like to express the extent of the poor treatment and accommodations that we received from the resort staff. First, after arriving at the resort, we discovered that the refrigerator did not working completely, and support was requested. they arrived after three hours, and the solution was not completed, and we asked again, so he said we cannot do anything, and ice box in place of the refrigerator!!! This advice was rejected, and after five to six hours a new refrigerator was brought and they over us next day a free afternoon tea, but everyone knows that this free offer was presented, and it was presented at 5:32 pm!!! It is assumed that the rooms will not be delivered with good quality control and it are not ready to receive guests. Secondly, the car service has been requested more than once, and among the guests there is a 65-year-old woman and a six-month-old baby. Is it possible to walk for a long time outside in this hot weather? We do not ask for much, but what is within the service that must be provided by the guest service in the resort. Calls have been made repeatedly, and incoming calls from villa 5032 are deliberately ignored and not answered. Is it among the resort's policies? We went to the duty manager, Mr. Fawzi, and his treatment was very, very bad, and he did not deal with a solution method, but rather a provocative response, as dealing with a woman. Accordingly, the Ministry of Tourism will be contacted, and our opinion will be presented to the public, and we hope that all amounts will be returned and compensation for what happened, and that strict action will be taken with the duty manager, Mr. Fawzi (his resignation was previously submitted) and the exchange employees.

    A great escape if you are in Qatar! Services are top notch and the resort (managed by Anantara) is nice to spend a couple of days in. A bit on the pricier side but we’ll worth it especially if you have kids, as it is well geared towards catering for their entertainment.

    Went to this island for a company event. This island can be reached by boat belonging to Banana island. They have valet parking in corniche. Island is located very near to the Hamad airport. Island welcomes you with traditional welcome. Lot of outdoor and indoor activities are there. Resturant has lot of different food options. We had nice time.
