Review summary

Based on recent reviews

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.

satisfactory experience overall

friendly staff cute penguins food quality processed cheese

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 seemed like 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 benefits small 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.
