Me and my family stayed at the Banana Island Resort for Eid weekend celebrations. This island is beautiful, clean and well maintained. We had a 3 bedroom villa which had plenty of space for 4 adults & 3 children. The villa pool was a very good size, all 7 of us were able to enjoy it at the same time. I was impressed by the bathroom, very grand in size and elegant. The island has lots of activities to do, we enjoyed the mini golf & adventure park. Would have liked to do the bike riding, but it was too hot for this. A lovely lady called Louisa was taking care of us during our stay, she was kind & her service was efficient. The only downfall is the restaurants/food, needs more variety and many of the restaurants close too early however, the breakfast buffet was good. Overall, we had a lovely time and did not want to leave! I would highly recommend this place if you are in Doha and want a break from the city life.

We recently stayed at Banana Island Resort and had a wonderful experience. It's easily one of the best beach resorts we've visited in Qatar. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, friendly, and always ready to help with anything we needed. Their hospitality really made our stay memorable. We booked the half-board package, and the food exceeded our expectations. The dishes at Al Nahham Restaurant were absolutely delicious, and the portion sizes were surprisingly generous. The breakfast buffet at Azraq Restaurant was also excellent, with plenty of tasty options to choose from every morning. Our room was clean, comfortable, and had a lovely sea view, which made it even more relaxing. The whole island has a peaceful atmosphere and is a great place to unwind. The only thing to keep in mind is that during the summer months, it can be quite hot to spend time on the beach in the afternoon. Other than that, everything was fantastic. Overall, we had a great stay and would happily recommend Banana Island Resort to anyone looking for a relaxing beach getaway.

I had the most AMAZING experience at Banana Island and I just have to share how incredible the staff were! Habib was absolutely wonderful — so sweet, kind, and genuinely caring. He took me around on the buggy cart and gave me a personal tour of the island, which made my visit so special. I was there by myself, and he went above and beyond by offering to take photos for me at different spots around the island. Without his help, capturing those memories wouldn’t have been possible! He was such lovely company, and I honestly can’t express enough how thoughtful and warm he was — he truly made my day. A huge shoutout as well to Omari at the resort, who brought us towels and ice cooler packs. He was hilarious, friendly, attentive, and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. His energy and service were fantastic! In fact, all of the staff across the island were brilliant — welcoming, helpful, and professional throughout. This experience exceeded my expectations and I would 100% come back again. Highly recommend

One of the best all inclusive resorts I have ever stayed at. We spent a full week here over New Year’s and it was genuinely amazing. It is perfect if you like to stay active while still having a relaxed, fun time with your family. The sports facilities are excellent, with tennis courts, padel, a gym, and plenty of activities throughout the day. Getting into the city was also very easy. Boats were simple to book and made day trips effortless. New Year’s Eve was a highlight. The party was super fun, even though there were no fireworks. What really sets this place apart is the all inclusive offering. It is not limited to buffet dining. The package includes multiple à la carte restaurants around the island, and they feel like real standalone restaurants with a huge selection of dishes. Everything we tried was delicious. Highly recommended if you want a true all inclusive experience with great food, strong sports options, and an easy, stress free stay.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Banana Island resort by Anantara. We spent 4 nights in one of the private villas, traveling with two adults and our two young children (1 and 3 years old). There was more than enough to keep them happy and entertained throughout our stay. The small water park, adventure park, very large kids club, playground, and many other activities made it a perfect destination for families. We were also fortunate to have a personal butler, Mr. Muthu, who was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to make our stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible. The same goes for Destiny both of them were extremely involved from beginning to end and handled all our additional requests with great care and professionalism. They truly deserve a lot of credit! In addition, we would like to thank the colleagues who drove us from our villa to the restaurants. Ahmet, Elisha, and Andrew were always friendly, open for a chat, and made every ride enjoyable. A special thanks also to Thusandra for his outstanding service at Al Nahm restaurant, which we personally found to be the best restaurant on the island. His service was truly top-notch. We will definitely return during our next visit to Qatar!
