Doubletree by Hilton Resort and Spa Marjan Island

My partner and I have recently returned from a weeks holiday at this hotel. We really enjoyed our stay however we did feel like there could be some improvements. Pros •We upgraded to bay club room which was definitely worth it. Our room was spacious and modern with a lovely view of the beach. •We used the infinity pool most days which was nice and relaxing. As it was mid-March the weather could be a bit breezy however the pool was just the right temperature. •The best thing about the hotel was the food. We were be exclusive meaning we could use all the restaurants for free, I would definitely recommend this. They had a great variety of food and made a nice change from the usual hotel buffet. There was also a nice terrace area to have lunch. •We would recommend the desert quad biking, was really fun and worth every penny! Cons •The main thing that let the hotel was the non-existent nightlife. My partner and I tried out both bars and found they both lacked any kind of atmosphere, one didn’t even have background music! One time there was just us and another couple there and it was so quiet it felt slightly awkward! There was a bar by the pool but as soon as the clock strikes 10 the entertainment was gone (not a bad thing as it wasn’t that good), this made it feel way to quiet and we felt like it signalled it was time to leave. •The shower temperature kept changing from hot to cold. •The mirror was about 2 meters from the nearest plug. My straighteners just reached the mirror but the hairdryer didn’t and I could imagine a lot of other devices wouldn’t reach the either. •We had an ‘in-scent’ machine put right outside our room. It was noisy (loud enough to keep you awake), we got so frustrated that we ended up turning it off each night which seemed to fix the issue! Overall, I would recommend this hotel to those who are looking for a relaxing holiday and aren’t bothered about nightlife or those in big groups who don’t need any extra entertainment.

We visited this hotel early March with my husband, our 3 year old boy and our 5 month old baby girl. We absolutely loved every minute of this hotel. We upgraded yo Bay Club which trust me worth the upgrade, is a lot quieter and easy to get served, also you have access to the infinitive pool which is absolutely stunning and is a lot better during dining. We had the brown band (all inclusive) but we upgraded again to the green band which is the exclusive. With the green band you have access to everywhere whatever time you want! Access to every single thing on the menus too! The staff were all so friendly and they were playing all the time with our little boy. Constantina, the Greek girl who works there, helped us with all of the upgrades we made. She took over and we only had to confirm so she was a key person to our holidays. She also helped us extended our holidays from 7 days to 9! She was so kind to my family. Kids club is good too, safe, and clean. Everywhere is so clean! There is waterpark as well which is nice. You will love it, I don't know why people might complain about this hotel. Is one of the best we stayed at.

Another great staycation in the UAE. Everything was as per standards expected from this brand. Accommodation, food, pools, beach, also the evening entertainment for the guests were all well worth the visit!
