The hotel

For travellers who aren’t satisfied with a simple ‘one pool, one bar, one restaurant’ kind of holiday, this island escape overflows with choice. Its private white sand beach accompanies seven fabulous swimming pools, including a pirate-themed aqua zone for children to cool off on sun-soaked Marjan Island. 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.

One of the most beautiful and amazing hotels I have visited recently.. starting from the reception and the beautiful lobby.. where they serve their famous cookies only.. the room is spacious and has a balcony and the bathroom has a bathtub and shower.. as for their hospitality in the room upon arrival, I made a variety of delicious macarons.. then we have the restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner I mean the buffet restaurant.. a wide variety of delicious international foods.. I am not exaggerating, there are foods that I am seeing for the first time in a hotel buffet restaurant that I have not seen in a hotel before.. and cold and hot drinks.. and happiness, renewal and activity in the sea and the pool.. where mojitos and ice cream are available for free all the time.. I also used to spend my time on the phone and browse social media in the hotel lobby and drink my favorite coffee and there are also free drinks all day.. and the room service is excellent and fast.. finally, this will definitely not be my last visit to this wonderful hotel..

We had a brilliant week here with friends (two families with 4 children 10 and under). Felt this was a great family friendly hotel! The kids loved the choice of pools & the waterpark/slides. We stayed in two Bay Club Sea View Room with Two Queen Beds which was perfect for us as our kids don’t like sofa beds We opted for the All Inclusive which included alcohol drinks from noon until midnight and the buffet restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We liked that you could also eat breakfast and lunch in the Brasserie if you wanted. Tip - we found the Brasserie to be really quiet so enjoyed having breakfast here instead of the main buffet. I advised the hotel of my dietary requirements (gluten free) prior to arrival and upon check in I was given an allergy card. I was able to order anything freshly made when I arrived at the buffets - pancakes, omelettes, toast for breakfast, pizza, pasta and desserts at lunch and dinner. Being on the standard All Inclusive we had dining credit towards the A La Carte Restaurants (though this has now recently changed to 25% discount - which I still think is a good offer). We ate at the Asian restaurant, Sanchaya, for the Friday Night Brunch - amazing food! 😋 I haven’t eaten Chinese/Thai food in a restaurant since I was diagnosed as Coeliac. It was the best meal of the holiday - they were able to adapt my meals to make them gluten free. And when the brunch is on you can literally order as much as you want from the menu - great value for money - it cost us an extra £60 for a family of 4! Couldn’t fault the buffet food and choice, pizza on everyday which was great for our kids, there was also a seperate kids section in the buffet. Also what I thought was good for kids is that all the A La Carte restaurants have the same kids menu - this is great if you have fussy kids but the adults want to be able to try the different restaurants. All the staff were fantastic, great customer service and always happy to help! For us the perfect family friendly resort if you’re looking for sun, excellent service and an all inclusive option where you can relax and stay around the hotel.

My family and I returned from this hotel yesterday 4th June after a 9 night stay. We have a wonderful time and are looking forward to booking again. The food in the buffet restaurant is good. Many different choices, to suit children ( 2 x 6yrs olds and one 11) and the grown ups. It can be busy but staff at the door find you a table and arrange drinks. There is anther restaurant for lunch (brasserie) which is very good and near the kids pool. We also ate at the Asian restaurant which was excellent. All inclusive drinks are also served in all restaurants. The staff in the hotel are all very helpful and were particularly attentive when my daughter was poorly and needed a Doctor. They even sent a card and basket of fruit to our room. There was no issues in getting sunbeds, even though the first week was busy (UK half term). Just speak to the pool attendant and they will help find sunbeds. There are many pools and of course the beach (jet skis were great). The water park was a hit with the kids and also the kids club. Staff to mention (apologies, I have forgotten some names) are Tiara (she was great with our children, made them special drinks etc) in main buffet restaurant, Pan, house maid (kept our room spotless) and Kimo tour / excursion organiser, he can find you a good deal. Kimo organised us a private driver for the day at a great price. Also, the Bedouin oasis desert trip was excellent and I recommend this. All the family agreed that we will return to this hotel!!
