For travellers who aren’t satisfied with a simple ‘one pool, one bar, one restaurant’ kind of holiday, this island escape overflows with choice. Its private white sand beach accompanies seven fabulous swimming pools, including a pirate-themed aqua zone for children to cool off on sun-soaked Marjan Island. It has 12 places to drink and dine, from family-style Italian Vespa to the gastropub food and fun of The Anchor, and the Arabic snacks and shisha of ShoFee Rooftop Bar. And, while the beachfront setting, eforea spa, and contemporary styling of Doubletree by Hilton Resort & Spa Marjan Island attract couples and groups of friends, families get the bonus of the kids’ club’s climbing wall, Arcade Zone, and huge playground with its climbing structures, trampolines and shaded toddler area.

Stayed here over Christmas & New Year. We always stay in 5* hotel on our visits to UAE visit two to three times a year. Before choosing our hotel we saw that the complex is massive and looks good with its pools and outside bars. On arrival was disappointed with our room. Old & dated, had to make a list for housekeeping regarding items that needed replaced & fixed. eg lights in bathroom vanity needed replacing, both were out. No coat hangers. Hose in bathroom didn’t work, bedside light was faulty, I had to unplug it as it was turning on during the night, no drinking glasses, old kettle with Nescafé sachets. The corners in all areas corners & skirtings were dirty with hairs & dust. There was only one chair in the room ! After a week I had to ask to get the bed changed. The balcony furniture was rusty & balcony floor had a clean for a long time. I could go on. Luckily we had booked the Ultra All Inclusive so got to eat at all the a la carte restaurants which were very good. Booked before we arrived. Only went to breakfast buffet & lunch buffet once in our nine days stay. Nothing great. On our package we could get cans of coke, but they were hardly ever available. You were give coke from a bottle which at times was flat. Jeez my husband was on the canned coke heist he went from bar to bar trying to get some. Ended up we went to supermarket and bought his own which he carried around 😂 What we loved about the hotel was the staff they were fantastic. Very friendly and courteous. Unfortunately both of us had sickness and diarrhoea two days into our holiday. Luckily it only lasted three days. I had called reception and informed them of our illness. When I was better I went to seek out Happy a resort manager. I asked was she informed of our illness she said yes I was told. I replied Oh wouldn’t it have been courteous of you to call and enquire how we were. Now for the best part. The new year gala ball was fabulous, so much work by the staff was done. From the table decorating, outside entertainment and great drone & fireworks display. They knew how to throw a party. I wouldn’t say I won’t come back as A la carte restaurants were good, staff great and gala ball fantastic but I would need to see this hotel rooms updated and better maintenance throughout.
