For travellers who aren’t satisfied with a simple ‘one pool, one bar, one restaurant’ kind of holiday, this island escape overflows with choice.

It has 12 places to drink and dine, from family-style Italian Vespa to the gastropub food and fun of The Anchor, and the Arabic snacks and shisha of ShoFee Rooftop Bar. And, while the beachfront setting, eforea spa, and contemporary styling of Doubletree by Hilton Resort & Spa Marjan Island attract couples and groups of friends, families get the bonus of the kids’ club’s climbing wall, Arcade Zone, and huge playground with its climbing structures, trampolines and shaded toddler area.

The transfer is not 30 mins as jet 2 advises it was over an hour there and over an Hour and a half back.!!! The hotel is nice but in a really dodgy run down area. The area outside looks like Baghdad. The jet 2 rep was rubbish, wouldn’t book us a trip as didn’t have time. We used the hotel shop instead which turned out great. Cheap helpful and lots of choice of trips. SABI beach club is lovely but too many sunbeds crammed together with no space around. Tip: get end beds and pull them out away from everyone else 😉 the infinity pool is lush! Not enough sunbeds around the top adults pool in the hotel also kids in there when supposed to be adults only. We were surprised u couldn’t have lunch at the pool bar on all inclusive, to be 4 star this should be allowed as in most other 4 and 5 star hotels. The cakes and ice cream there were scrummy though. Main buffet had a very limited selection, probably the worst offering from a 4 / 5 star hotel we’ve ever had, same things every night and not much choice, 2 types of pasta a cheese or tomato based one and then a carvery meat with 1 choice of potato and veg (there were always chips and bread too. Other than that a loads of salad stuff and some very nice desserts but again these were same every night, all creamy based. Beds were hard but got used to them after a few days. Husband would like more tv channels to watch. Room was large as was bathroom. Good power shower. Cleaning not done every day and sheets never changed. Entertainment aimed at the older clientele which is weird seeing as there were kids everywhere. All in all a nice hotel but without the beach club I’d be disappointed I think. Read less

Today is our last full day at this beautiful resort. It has been such a beautiful and unforgettable experience. There are so many lovely things I could say about this stunning place! However,first and foremost, the staff has been what has made our stay and must be recognised for their hard work. Special thanks to Kamrun for the attention and service with always a smile and the waitresses in the adult part of the restaurant, who were attentive, kind, and always smiling. The coffee bar in the main reception had the most delightful young lady, who I know is having her day off today. Special thanks. Room, food, surroundings, views, staff 100% amazing. Here's to our last night 🌙 Read less
