The hotel

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.

We had a perfect stay at the Hilton Double Tree. The facilities at this resort included a number of pools, a kids aqua park, an inflatable bouncy castle and several slides into the sea – all of which our children (aged 10 & 5) thoroughly enjoyed.

We had a perfect stay at the Hilton Double Tree. The facilities at this resort included a number of pools, a kids aqua park, an inflatable bouncy castle and several slides into the sea – all of which our children (aged 10 & 5) thoroughly enjoyed. The private beach was also clean which made swimming in the sea fun. The rooms were well maintained and spacious for a family of 4. We stayed on an all-inclusive basis with breakfast, lunch and dinner having enough variety to appease even the fussiest of eaters. The food at the other restaurants was also at an exceptional standard. There was always something that looked highly delicious and worth eating. There was also varied evening entertainment, and we often had drinks/ hot chocolate in the Lobby & Anchor bar. What made our stay particularly enjoyable was the attention to detail and attentiveness of every member of staff. The staff members were very helpful and well organised, even as far as changing us to a different room due to faulty air conditioning. The duty manager “Happy” was fantastic, always on available to talk to and made our stay even more memorable. The staff at poolside (Siva and others) made drinks efficiently, while lifeguards were attentive to all guests in the pool. The animation entertainment was very good , especially the table tennis tournaments which were held by Sonic, who made each tournament fun and exciting, win or lose. We also used the spa and had massages (with Padma and Mohammed) who were excellent. Worth also adding that we stayed over the 1 day there was heavy rain, and all staff worked quickly to clean pools and outside areas. Overall we had a great stay, it was great value and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this resort. Read less

An excellent hotel to stay in. The range of food, and quality of food is fantastic. We had a great room, with a view across the bay. The staff worked so hard, and were really engaging. Would definitely recommend the Islanders Brunch on a Saturday - great fun!
