Across reviews of Banana Island Resort Doha by Anantara, guests consistently praise the friendly, attentive staff and the island’s scenic, peaceful setting, while concerns focus on practical inconveniences that affect parts of the experience.
Many enjoy comfortable rooms and tasty, varied food—especially breakfast—but some venues or menu inclusions can be limited at times. The island offers many activities and, for many, a clean beach, yet some facilities were closed or aging, and evening entertainment is limited. Access depends on scheduled boats and check-in can be inflexible, while Wi-Fi and TV channel choices receive occasional complaints. Expect a beautiful, service-led escape with trade-offs in maintenance, evening activities, and value.

Facilities
Guests appreciate the many activities and family amenities, and many found the beach well kept. Several note closures or aging areas (bowling, viewpoint, pool/decking), limited evening entertainment, inflexible boat schedules, occasional jellyfish limiting sea use, and that alcohol is not available.

It's late March 2025 and we have just returned from 8 nights on Banana Island (a couple aged 55 and 62), and enjoyed it immensely. We knew beforehand that it was during the month of Ramadan so not all facilities would be open - some of the restaurant options on the island were closed and most you needed to eat inside. On mainland the shops in the malls were all closed during the days but you could wander through them. This had the advantages of it being a bit quieter and we got 2 nights free! The temperature (mid to high 20s) was perfect for us and the pool/sea were warm enough to swim in - although there were signs about jellyfish being possible in the sea so stuck mainly to the pools. It was a bit blowy a couple of days but didn't present too much of an issue for us - fortunately the catamarans were still running so we took the opportunity to explore the mainland - taking the earlier staff boats. The range of activities on Banana Island was phenomenal .. not many being used at this time but great to have them there. We can't comment on how noisy it would be in full season but if that but if that bothers you (which it would us) go for the deluxe, rather than premier, accommodation as a minimum on the ocean side of the island. The staff really made it for us - so genuinely friendly and helpful - thank you to them all!!!

Great experience, lovely people, there is a lot that can be improved. Communication with restaurant staff wasn't the best. Zero entertainment at night, nothing to do. Great place but alot of improvements needed on various fronts. Food and drinks are very expensive not worth the money you pay for what you het in return.

Vieles ist in die Jahre gekommen. Alle Strandliegen sind defekt und die meisten Kissen sollten ausgetauscht werden. Unsere Fähre kam um 13.30 an, wir mussten dann stur bis Checkin Time 15.00 warten, obwohl das Hotel nur zu ca. 50% ausgelastet war. schade... Das Essen war immer perfekt. Egal ob Restaurant oder In Room Dining. Die Preise auf der ganzen Insel sind leider totl überrissen. Weshalb man im Vergleich zu ganz Doha für z. B. Wasser im Restaurant das 10-fache zahlt ist mir schleiderhaft. Hier wird schlicht weg ausgenutzt, dass man keine andere Einkaufsmöglichkeit hat

The Banana Island Resort has ALL THE POTENTIAL to be a Paradise Island in these parts of the world. Staff service is A1, and always attentive to the guests needs. There is however lots of Areas for Improvement, e.g., Needs many more dining options, Alcohol consumption should be allowed, Construction and Maintenance activities should be better managed when guests, etc.

Great place to visit for families with kids. The food was excellent and the facilities are nice. The biggest drawback was the staff - although they were friendly, they were poorly trained and didn’t know how to execute in a properly 5 star setting.

Uma decepção. Se denominam hotel de luxo, mas não são. As instalações estão velhas, desgastadas e claramente precisa de manutenção! O serviço é razoável. Não tem absolutamente nenhum atrativo no local. O boliche em manutenção, view point fechado... e por aí vai. A área da piscina adulta é um desastre, além de velha, aparenta mal cuidada. A limpeza também deixa a desejar. Reservamos para 2 noites, mas depois da primeira noite já saimos do local, obvio que não houve reembolso.

Resort is amazing, can’t fault the island and what it offers…..two big issues however. We stayed in a 2bedroom villa with private pool…the pool was a disgrace, loose tiles lying on bottom of pool, tiles coming off all around the pool, in certain places I could put my fingers deep inside where the grout should have been and the pool was caked in mould and dirt. Considering this is a £1000+ per night resort it’s embarrassing how bad the pool was presented to us….i would go as far to say that it was dangerous for our kids. The decking around the pool was also in a shocking condition, we had to get them to screw down decking as my kids had tripped and cut their feet on it ! The staff were quick to try and resolve the issues but the problem is….it should never have been presented in that state in the first place !!! Staff in the Indian restaurant were also rude and we had terrible service on both occasions we were there….at one point we had starters, mains and desert plates on the table because they couldn’t be bothered to clear the table !!! Majority of staff were great and they couldn’t do enough for us but breakfast is another issue….everytime we went there were no tables clean and at one point I counted 7 tables that needed cleaned so either there isn’t enough tables or not enough staff. We stayed in villa 5018 so please whoever stays here next check the pool and you will see what I mean…..we enjoyed our 8 day stay but the above issues really took the shine of it for us

The room they gave us was not good, it has water dripping from the ceiling right inside of the bathroom door. Also the hanger inside the cupboard was falling down I couldn’t hang my clothes, and when I told the reception they didn’t do anything! Also I asked for late checkout upon arrival even if it was chargeable but they didn’t give us an answer until it was too late and they don’t know what to just they keep saying wait for us we will get back to you soon but they dudn’t! I had a birthday occasion they brought a wrong cake! Overall experience is very bad and disappointing! I went to resorts around the world, but this one definitely managed by bad management and worse staff!

Beautiful Island. Picturesque. Clean and friendly staff. Niroshana and the other villa staff were Excellent. Niroshana went out of his way to make this trip memorable. The restaurant service/food were superior and very tasty. We were waited on hand and foot from the time we stepped onto the island, until when we left. They made every accommodation effortless and stress-free! We plan to come back in the next 3 months.

It's late March 2025 and we have just returned from 8 nights on Banana Island (a couple aged 55 and 62), and enjoyed it immensely. We knew beforehand that it was during the month of Ramadan so not all facilities would be open - some of the restaurant options on the island were closed and most you needed to eat inside. On mainland the shops in the malls were all closed during the days but you could wander through them. This had the advantages of it being a bit quieter and we got 2 nights free! The temperature (mid to high 20s) was perfect for us and the pool/sea were warm enough to swim in - although there were signs about jellyfish being possible in the sea so stuck mainly to the pools. It was a bit blowy a couple of days but didn't present too much of an issue for us - fortunately the catamarans were still running so we took the opportunity to explore the mainland - taking the earlier staff boats. The range of activities on Banana Island was phenomenal .. not many being used at this time but great to have them there. We can't comment on how noisy it would be in full season but if that but if that bothers you (which it would us) go for the deluxe, rather than premier, accommodation as a minimum on the ocean side of the island. The staff really made it for us - so genuinely friendly and helpful - thank you to them all!!!

Outdated empty old property . Absolutely worst choice for staying in Qatar. Only few shuttle boats to mainland. So you’re stuck in the middle of nowhere in empty place with terrible beach, and yellow water park. Only bright spot is personal, they are trying really hard and Al Nahham restaurant with lebanese food.

Staff in the Indian restaurant were also rude and we had terrible service on both occasions we were there….at one point we had starters, mains and desert plates on the table because they couldn’t be bothered to clear the table !!! Majority of staff were great and they couldn’t do enough for us but breakfast is another issue….everytime we went there were no tables clean and at one point I counted 7 tables that needed cleaned so either there isn’t enough tables or not enough staff. We stayed in villa 5018 so please whoever stays here next check the pool and you will see what I mean…..we enjoyed our 8 day stay but the above issues really took the shine of it for us

The room they gave us was not good, it has water dripping from the ceiling right inside of the bathroom door. Also the hanger inside the cupboard was falling down I couldn’t hang my clothes, and when I told the reception they didn’t do anything! Also I asked for late checkout upon arrival even if it was chargeable but they didn’t give us an answer until it was too late and they don’t know what to just they keep saying wait for us we will get back to you soon but they dudn’t! I had a birthday occasion they brought a wrong cake! Overall experience is very bad and disappointing! I went to resorts around the world, but this one definitely managed by bad management and worse staff!

We loved every second of our stay at Banana! The Breakfast buffet is insane, the different restaurants on the island are so good and the staff are absolutely unreal; they’re so kind, caring and go out of their way to provide unreal service. The room we had was amazing and the views and beach are breathtaking

Exceeded my expectations, the staff make the experience truly special. They were what made this trip so enjoyable and all members couldn’t do enough for you. The food at the property was very good, we tried a few things but not the Italian restaurant and everything we had we enjoyed. Resorts can be very hit and miss when it comes to food but this was good for a resort. Once the new adventure park is opened, the kids will enjoy this once even more. Special mention to Kay at the Indian restaurant, she took her time to explain things through and dealt with dietary requirements in her stride! Will definitely be looking to come back here.

It was like being in a slice of paradise. The views are beautiful and the sunset from the pool was amazing, almost like being in one of the holiday ads. A variety of food options however a little pricey and I was disappointed when not all the food on the menu was part of half board and an extra needed to paid but there still was a lot to choose from. Food was delicious. The staff are always happy to help in anyway and are really the pride of this island. I can not wait to return again!

It's late March 2025 and we have just returned from 8 nights on Banana Island (a couple aged 55 and 62), and enjoyed it immensely. We knew beforehand that it was during the month of Ramadan so not all facilities would be open - some of the restaurant options on the island were closed and most you needed to eat inside. On mainland the shops in the malls were all closed during the days but you could wander through them. This had the advantages of it being a bit quieter and we got 2 nights free! The temperature (mid to high 20s) was perfect for us and the pool/sea were warm enough to swim in - although there were signs about jellyfish being possible in the sea so stuck mainly to the pools. It was a bit blowy a couple of days but didn't present too much of an issue for us - fortunately the catamarans were still running so we took the opportunity to explore the mainland - taking the earlier staff boats. The range of activities on Banana Island was phenomenal .. not many being used at this time but great to have them there. We can't comment on how noisy it would be in full season but if that but if that bothers you (which it would us) go for the deluxe, rather than premier, accommodation as a minimum on the ocean side of the island. The staff really made it for us - so genuinely friendly and helpful - thank you to them all!!!

Outdated empty old property . Absolutely worst choice for staying in Qatar. Only few shuttle boats to mainland. So you’re stuck in the middle of nowhere in empty place with terrible beach, and yellow water park. Only bright spot is personal, they are trying really hard and Al Nahham restaurant with lebanese food.

The restaurant service/food were superior and very tasty. We were waited on hand and foot from the time we stepped onto the island, until when we left. They made every accommodation effortless and stress-free! We plan to come back in the next 3 months.

Resort is amazing, can’t fault the island and what it offers…..two big issues however. We stayed in a 2bedroom villa with private pool…the pool was a disgrace, loose tiles lying on bottom of pool, tiles coming off all around the pool, in certain places I could put my fingers deep inside where the grout should have been and the pool was caked in mould and dirt. Considering this is a £1000+ per night resort it’s embarrassing how bad the pool was presented to us….i would go as far to say that it was dangerous for our kids. The decking around the pool was also in a shocking condition, we had to get them to screw down decking as my kids had tripped and cut their feet on it ! The staff were quick to try and resolve the issues but the problem is….it should never have been presented in that state in the first place !!! Staff in the Indian restaurant were also rude and we had terrible service on both occasions we were there….at one point we had starters, mains and desert plates on the table because they couldn’t be bothered to clear the table !!! Majority of staff were great and they couldn’t do enough for us but breakfast is another issue….everytime we went there were no tables clean and at one point I counted 7 tables that needed cleaned so either there isn’t enough tables or not enough staff. We stayed in villa 5018 so please whoever stays here next check the pool and you will see what I mean…..we enjoyed our 8 day stay but the above issues really took the shine of it for us

The Banana Island Resort has ALL THE POTENTIAL to be a Paradise Island in these parts of the world. Staff service is A1, and always attentive to the guests needs. There is however lots of Areas for Improvement, e.g., Needs many more dining options, Alcohol consumption should be allowed, Construction and Maintenance activities should be better managed when guests, etc.

The only area that could be improved was the luggage delivery, as our bags arrived around 1.5 hours late. The island itself was beautiful, with stunning landscapes and lush trees that made our time there even more enjoyable. Although the boat ride was a bit rough due to the weather, we always felt completely safe throughout the journey.
