The Rixos Hotel in Doha is a luxurious, all-inclusive 5-star property conveniently located just a 10-minute drive from the airport. The hotel itself is fantastic, with spacious, sea-view rooms that are well-equipped and feature large, comfortable beds and en-suite walk-in waterfall showers. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. The doormen were polite and smartly dressed, and the reception team was incredibly helpful, particularly one staff member, Sonia, who consistently ensured everything was in order. The hotel boasts three on-site restaurants: a steakhouse, an Indian restaurant, and a buffet restaurant. The food selection at the buffet was impressive, catering to various tastes, and the all-inclusive package, although somewhat restrictive based on wristband color, offered the added bonus of alcoholic beverages.

The hotel has two main pools: one for families and one designated for adults (over 18). Additionally, the beach is divided into separate areas for families and couples. However, this is where the hotel fell short for us. There was a clear lack of signage indicating these zones, leading to frequent disruptions in the adults-only areas by families with children. While the lifeguards managed the adult pool area well, security on the beach did not always enforce the rules, creating frustrating situations where couples had to move due to noisy children and even parents changing babies nearby. This lack of enforcement detracted from the experience, and better signage and clearer rules would have likely avoided such conflicts.

Location, Staff, investment and very clean

Nothing

The property with all its facilities is really good and comfy. And luxurious in some aspects. Melissa and Maysaa made our stay amazing and strived to make us happy. They certainly become our friends and the main reason why we would choose this resort again. The food was amazing. Lifeguards by the pools were really polite and friendly with kids. Rixy kids club staff were amazing and really caring. They try to engage all kids in the various activities despite the language barrier.

Room cleaning i used a spoon to feed my baby. They just wipe it and put it back without washing it. Pillows need to be a bit firm. Noise was really disturbing when there is a concert by the beach. No fans by the pools and the weather was really hot which made sitting by the pool to watch and attend to kids a torturing experience.

Brand new hotel! All the facilities are there, including childrens club. Nice view of the harbor and skyscrapers! the food in the main restarant was decent, stake house was also ok, and the indian reataurant was taisty, althought not very popular with Kazach crowd! The service was super - you ask for something, and you get it! All the facilities are super clean! And yes, if you get all-inclusive, than you get all the house wine or beer you want at the restaurants and the pool area!:) Averall good hotel if you travel with children, since there is a lot to do there!!!

If your windows are seeview, your hear music from daytime till 10 30 pm. so if you want quite - pick non-seeview! also the doors to the rooms are super load, of you just let them go - they slam boom!!!

Good location, pools were nice and welcoming staff. Room was lovely. It was our anniversary and they left us a nice cake. They upgraded our room to sea view which was a wonderful surprise.

The main thing that lets this hotel down is the food. They had the same food menu for both lunch and dinner. Not enough variety of mains and didn't have enough different cuisines. The desserts were the same cake in different colours. Beach area was very small. As it was our anniversary they could have decorated the room as it is a 5 star hotel. Only 2 lifts and 1 wasn't working properly so very time consuming as there are about 600+ guests. Staff need to be more engaging and lively. Not allowed to have lunch on check out day which would have been much appreciated.

I had an absolutely fantastic time during my stay at Rixos Gulf Hotel Doha! The experience was nothing short of amazing. From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the incredible service and attention to detail. One of the highlights of my stay was the exceptional dining experience. The food we had was simply excellent. The variety, quality, and flavors of the dishes were beyond my expectations. Each meal was a culinary delight, and I truly appreciated the effort that went into creating such a memorable dining experience.

Great rooms with a stunning view of the city! Nice gym.

It did not feel like a 5 star resort: 1. People were reserving sun beds with towels at 7 am. 2. Overcrowded breakfast room. Hard to get a table. Many just dirty. Staff not catching up with cleaning. 3. Quite repetitive meals. Not much fantasy. 4. Quite old and used plastic glasses at the pool bar. Did not enjoy drinking out of them. 5. They rented part of the hotel to a private party on a couple of nights which was so loud we could not sleep despite being on the 4th floor. So if you want to go to an all inclusive resort like in Turkey or Bulgaria you are all set, but if you could on luxury and relaxation, stay clear.

The hotel staff and rooms were great can’t fault it. Breakfast was good

The room overlooked a car park so not really a city view. Also a bit annoying to be told you can’t charge food and drinks at the pool side to the room…, not sure why but this should be changed

**Hotel Review: A Home Away from Home in Qatar** I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful hotel, and I can confidently say it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with outstanding hospitality and a welcoming attitude that made us feel right at home. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable, making their service more than just great; it felt genuinely caring and personal. The rooms were impeccably clean and equipped with all the utilities we needed for a comfortable stay. It was evident that attention to detail was a priority, which made our experience even more pleasant. What truly stood out was how much our kids loved the hotel. They joyfully referred to it as "our house in Qatar," which speaks volumes about the warm and inviting atmosphere that the hotel provided. This place really felt like a home away from home for our family. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a delightful stay in Qatar. The combination of exceptional service, cleanliness, and a family-friendly environment makes it a standout choice!

OMG!!! We were celebrating my husband’s birthday while also attending the formula 1, and we must again express our gratitude for the outstanding service, nicest people and amazing food and hospitality in generel. We had been visiting the same hotel in 2023 and we can only confirm that it’s gets better and better every time we come back. Rooms are perfect, spacious and nice view overlooking the area and beach, food in any of the restaurants are of high quality and you can easily find a delicious meal - especially Mr. Tailor and Indian restaurant Rasa are our favorites and they are warmly welcoming both adults and children. We loved that several staff members remembered us from the first time we visited and this hotels makes you feel special and at home - after visiting once, you’d always feel like going back. Our best recommendations will be giving for this hotel - most importantly the people working there, they make the different everyday. Thanks again for an outstanding stay. Rgds Mie & Jesper
