Guests frequently appreciate the Intercontinental Doha Beach & Spa's access to a clean pool and its beachfront location on the Persian Gulf. The spacious rooms often feature fantastic sea and pool views, complete with separate bathtubs and walk-in showers. Many enjoy the diverse and high-quality food, particularly the buffet dinners at Coral restaurant, although some guests have found internal pricing to be on the higher side. Some guests enjoyed free shuttle bus rides in a private BMW to selected facilities.

the staff was very friendly and helpful. shalika specifically ensured my stay was comfortable. she cleaned my room well and even made towel penguins, a nice touch.
i found the food quality at the beach and pool area lacking. the nachos i had were not good. it seemed they used processed cheese instead of real cheese.

the service at la mar beach on ladies day was awful. the hostess seemed annoyed i even arrived and getting a sunbed reminded me of a fight i even booked early and requested one specifically i still had to argue before someone bothered to help. also they changed happy hour rules mid-order i confirmed the happy hour menu before ordering my drink but then a supervisor told me i would pay regular price since they discontinued it that day. the toilets were also filthy with no toilet paper or hand towels. it was just a terrible experience from start to finish

Decent Stay with Service Lapses

diamond benefitssmall windows
The hotel fell short on delivering promised benefits. I am a Diamond member, but I did not receive a room upgrade despite my status and a several-night stay. The room assigned was standard and had small windows. This was not what I expect from a luxury hotel loyalty program. It seemed like a real oversight.
