Second Stay This Year – Warm Staff & Beautiful Sea View This was my second visit to Rixos Gulf within the year, and once again, the warmth and friendliness of the staff made it a truly welcoming experience. The rooms are lovely — bright, clean, and beautifully designed — and the sea view is always a treat to wake up to. A big shoutout to the team outside who are consistently helpful, always smiling, and quick to open doors and assist with Ubers — their attentiveness really stands out. A few things to note for improvement: • I was surprised to see that the pool near the beach, which was previously adults-only, now includes children. While I completely understand the importance of family spaces, it did make it harder to fully relax at times. Since there are two pools, it might be worth considering keeping one dedicated to adults for a more balanced experience. • Our room was cleaned daily during our stay, but on the day before checkout, we returned to find it hadn’t been done. We asked and it was sorted quickly, but it felt a little out of step with the otherwise consistent service. Not a huge issue, just a detail that stood out. Lastly, while the food was enjoyable — especially at breakfast — it would be a nice touch to have themed dinner nights for more variety across the week. Overall, still a great experience. The genuine kindness of the staff and the setting by the sea make it a memorable place to stay.

Hotel is only a ten minute taxi ride from the airport. The staff are all welcoming and friendly. We had a sea view room which was clean and comfortable. There were plenty of sunbeds, staff removed towels that had been left there without occupancy. The buffet restaurant was good, if a touch busy at times but the best was the steak restaurant. Not only was the food top quality but it is also a nice quiet place to have pre or post dinner drinks. The staff at the outdoor bar were good as were the staff at the snack bar. The city is accessible by uber or taxi. Overall a really pleasant stay.

My stay was not as relaxing as hoped-very loud music is played until approximately 11pm, this might be quieter on the non-sea view side though. Finding a table for lunch each day was challenging and took 10-15 mins, the restaurant is not large enough and the layout means you constantly bump into people. The staff were lovely though!

We just wanted to take the opportunity to thank everyone at Rixos for looking after us so well during our week long stay at the hotel last week. The hotel is excellently appointed, and in a good location making it easily accessible to the main attractions, and our room was perfect. The food at both breakfast and for evening dinner as part of our half board package was really good, with plenty of choice and variety. Overall, we had a lovely time and everyone without exception was warm, friendly and nothing but helpful. Just a notable mention however for everyone who works in the Farmhouse restaurant at breakfast and for dinner. They work tirelessly and always with a smile. It’s really hard to single out any one individual given everyone was so attentive and welcoming, but a special thank you to Duncan and Kiki for their hard work and care and attention they gave us at breakfast and evening dinner - they are a huge credit and ambassadors for Rixos Doha. We really hope to be able to come back to Doha and the Rixos again.

I believe the dining area could be more spacious, as its current capacity seems limited. The tables are not always prepared on time and may not be cleaned thoroughly. Additionally, the glasses in both the dining and pool areas often appear to be stained. The towels provided at the poolside seem worn out. On a positive note, the towels in the rooms are of good quality, and the room cleaning service is satisfactory
