Rixos Gulf Hotel Doha

We stayed over end of May for 6 nights. It was a wonderful experience with my husband and kids. A five star beautiful resort, much hot weather and lots to do in the resort you don’t even need to go out. I would highly recommend as very family friendly, food choices was amazing the buffet restaurant especially, we also had steak out which was delicious too one evening but the farmhouse buffet always had a lot of international options you won’t be disappointed. The staff at front desk always very kind and happy to help. Thank you for an amazing stay Rixos we have definitely recommended to all family and friends and would come again soon In sha Allah.

Loved it, great for families! From the service, food to rooms and facilities. It has everything you need.

Special thanks to Lilly in the kids club. She got my son hooked on chess!

The team at Rixos gulf are fantastic, nothing is too much trouble, Faroukh in guest relations was a joy to deal with making sure all our needs were met, breakfast was run very smoothly, kids club was brilliant and interactive again the staff made it even better, I’d also like to thank Anisha, Fatima who helped resolve small issues very swiftly, I would not hesitate recommending Rixos Gulf they really know how to look after guests, a perfect stay for the family in a true 5 star setting

Rixos! Its know is amazing hotel. Unfortunatlly, they have summer kids club and they wasn't mentioned while booking the hotel. It was very crowded with many kids over all hotel areas which I wasnt expect. Pools full with kids which apply some condition in Bar and resturants.

Positives: the staff are excellent, very friendly and helpful. The activities staff were great, fun and engaging. Room was great and cleaned daily. More than enough sun loungers, hotel provides towels and the spa is really nice. Things to note: we have stayed in Rixos hotels before, this one does not feel that it is quite there yet. Restaurant food lacked variety from day to day. It was however good. The two restaurants that were part of the all inclusive (Rasa and Mr Tailor) were okay but nothing to write home about. Small portions, limited choices. There was no evening entertainment, no where to enjoy the evenings. There was one small bar in a makeshift van at the end of the resort near the kids club which didn’t remain open past midnight. If you wanted to take drinks to your room you couldn’t as security didn’t allow it. The other big thing for us, was the amount of children. We know this is not an adult only hotel however, from the marketing we assumed that we would have a high end, luxury, all inclusive experience. This did not happen throughout the day and evenings with the amount of running, screaming, shouting children. I’m not sure what the solutions are to resolve this but had we known that this hotel caters primarily for large families, we would have chosen a different hotel in Doha. To conclude, this is not a terrible hotel. But it did not meet the expectations we expect from the Rixos brand.

Thank you to the staff. They made it a great holiday. Special thanks to kids club team, Austin, Annesha, Sanjay and restaurant staff.

Amazing hotel and great for children.
