The hype
Families love the facilities and water park, but couples often regret not booking the adults-only Rixos next door.
Doubletree By Hilton Resort & Spa Marjan Island
$130-220/ gece
Şu durumda rezervasyon yapın You're a family who wants a 'fly and flop' vacation where the kids are exhausted by the Tarzan boat before dinner.
İnsanlar Neden Seviyorlar
- The Tarzan Boat (largest floating water park in the Middle East)
- Bay Club rooms offer direct beach access and a quieter vibe
- Seven temperature-controlled pools mean you never fight for water space
Hızlı Özet: A bustling, chaotic family factory that delivers fun for kids but feels like a crowded canteen for adults.
@Iamvanessagail tarafından değerlendirildi: I felt like a kid again here! From the water slides to the outdoor gym right on the beach, it was the perfect mix of active fun and chilling out. The sunset dinner was the cherry on top of an awesome trip.

Reality check
The 'resort' is massive, meaning 10-minute walks to breakfast if you're in a far villa, and the 'soundproof' walls are anything but.
- You have energetic kids aged 4-14
- You want a resort where you never have to leave the property
- You prioritize pool variety over silence
Temizlik & Bakım
7.2
- Housekeeping: Hit or miss. Recent Jan 2026 reviews cite missed daily cleans and 'ants in the bed' in ground floor units.
- Bathroom hygiene: Grout is generally clean, but persistent 'sewage smell' complaints in some ground floor bathrooms.
- Maintenance: Renovated lobby looks great, but rooms show wear—chipped furniture and loose balcony door locks reported.
- Linens & towels: Towels are often described as 'worn' or 'scratchy' rather than plush.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells fresh; hallways can smell of damp carpet or food from room service trays.

SSS & Gizli İpuçları
Rezervasyon yapmadan önce bilmeniz gereken her şey.
Is the All-Inclusive package worth it?
Yes, if you plan to drink alcohol. With beers at ~40 AED and cocktails higher, 4-5 drinks a day breaks even. If you don't drink, stick to Half Board.
Is the beach private?
Yes, a 650-meter private white sand beach. It's clean but the water can be a bit stagnant compared to open ocean.
Can I walk to other restaurants?
Not really. You are on Marjan Island. There's a promenade, but most dining is inside other hotels. You'll need a taxi to Al Hamra Mall (10 mins).
Is there an adults-only pool?
Yes, there is one designated adults-only pool, but enforcement can be lax during peak school holidays.
What is the 'Tarzan Boat'?
It's a massive floating water park structure in the sea with trampolines, high dives, and rope swings. The highlight for teens.
Are the pools heated?
Yes, all 7 pools are temperature-controlled, which is crucial during the scorching summer and surprisingly cool winter mornings.
İçeri Sakıları
- ✨
The 'Islander's Coffee House' serves Starbucks coffee but isn't included in the standard All-Inclusive plan.
- ✨
Use the 'buggy service' to get around if you're in a far villa—just dial 0, but expect a 15-minute wait at peak times.
- ✨
The indoor pool is the best-kept secret for silence; it's usually empty while everyone fights for chairs outside.
Gitmeden önce bilmeniz gereken 5 şey
💡The 'sea view' in some main building rooms is actually a 'view of a tree with a slice of blue'.
💡You have to wear a wristband the entire stay if you're on a meal plan, and they are scratchy.
💡The 'floating sea pool' is just a netted area in the ocean, not a built structure.
💡Room service delivery adds a hefty tray charge on top of menu prices.
💡The elevators in the main building are notoriously slow during breakfast rush (9:00-10:30 AM).
