8/10 Very good

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.
Antonio Jose Delgado, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

Outdated empty old property .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.
Jiri, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Will not recommend

Over priced, couldn’t use beach or water sports due to jellyfish, air conditioning not working in kids club, beach beds in bad condition, very bad maintenance of facilities see photos

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent. We reached the hotel at 09.30am,checking was 3pm. Maria at the desk was very helpful and sorted our room within 15mins. She took us personally to our room. Ronald was our host excellent service constant messaging asking if everything is ok. Buggy drivers come round literally every 5/10mins offering a ride. Very relaxing holiday. The staff at the beach constantly greeting us ans asking if we need anything. Qlounge was very nice. Tne indian restaurant food menu was amazing,food was very well presented and very tasty. America. Burger place agian excellent. Breakfast area was amazing, tbe staff were exceptional. So friendly,very courteous, breakfast was buffet but the variety of food and drinks they offered was exceptional. I would rate anantara 10/10. 10 star service from staff.
saleha Ali, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was a great place to Stay, the service was second to none. The rooms were cleaned twice a day. Staff were amazing. The children loved the Kids club, which had soft play, cinema, Pool table, and many activities for all. The Spa was one of the best i have used, Oud Siganature Massage was wow! The restaurants on the island were ok 4-5/10. I did however, enjoy Al Nahham and Q lounge food. The downside is, if you have half or full board, you still have to pay for certain items on the menu with a discounted price and those items were the good items in my opinion. The swimming pool isn't big and nor is the kids pool area. The kids pool area is very small, 10-15 kids and it will be full. Overall i enjoyed the stay, the staff were amazing on the island from Yuni, Sachin the buggy drivers were all very freindly and caring.

HAASHIM, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Check in is not until 3pm and the property could not allow us to check in earlier. We had arrived on the early morning flight so got to the island for 9.30am. After a long flight we were tired and could not shower etc so spent the majority of the day on the beach which was not ideal with a child. I would offer feedback to the island in terms of moving their check in time to earlier and having some flexibility.
Mohammed Mansoor, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!!!
Emma Louise, 8-night trip

6/10 Good

Beautiful but terrible pool and service

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
