Sharq Village & Spa a Ritz-Carlton Hotel

From the moment we entered the reception I knew we had made a good choice. The hotel is immaculate throughout this is due to the high standard of workmanship from all of the staff team. Rooms are very comfortable with high quality bed linen that seems to get changed daily whether or not required. Plenty of water in the room daily with a few bits in the mini bar. Restaurant food and service very good, plenty of choice to meet all needs and even has a children’s food station. Afternoon tea and the most delicious cakes are available in the lounge opposite the buffet restaurant it well worth a visit. Pool service equally as good with wonderful friendly staff from around the world, nothing was too much bother and there was plenty of free water available from the towel station. The only negatives we had were that due to changes recently you couldn’t have an alcoholic beverage while sitting at the swim up pool bar, soft drinks only which was a shame as it would have been nice when escaping the sun for a few minutes also we were there from the 5-12 September and there was no evening entertainment and the only bar they have is soulless with no music so really was boring although bar staff always cheerful. Taxis very cheap and plenty of entertainment elsewhere but such a financial missed opportunity for the Ritz Carlton. Word of warning if you have never been to Doha before, passport id is required in many pubs and restaurants due to the alcohol laws so remember to take it with you when venturing out also there is usually dress code for men, no sandals or open toe shoes in the evening and some places do prefer long trousers not ideal in 40 degree heat. If you book using Destination 2 or Love holidays beware that on their ad they advertised half board and go on to name all the restaurants in the hotel however in reality the half board is for the buffet restaurant only and you will be charged to visit the others. We would certainly use this hotel again it’s been a wonderful break

We went in July 2025, family of five (three children). The hotel is more like a resort, beach, pools, entertainment. They even have golf buggies to transport guests around the hotel. The rooms are large and luxurious. We stayed in a two-bed suite and it was as big as a large flat with loads of space, lovely bathrooms and balconies. The food variety was excellent and lived up to the five star standard. The staff all went out of their way to help however they could. Kids club was fantastic, all my kids enjoyed it, there is a play station 5, movie projector, toys, books entertainment for all children and constant supervision by the staff. We all had an amazing time and need to go back as the experience was so good.

I stayed at the Sharq for about 10 days for a business trip and I would have to say that their service was top notch. I would like to give a shout out to Manik who would make me special masala tea for breakfast every morning. This was not on their menu but he would prepare it especially for me. This is a testament to their great hospitality. Also, I was so pleased that the head chef Mert and the sous chef Aly were talking to all the guests and making them feel at home. This was a special touch that you don't witness in other hotels. Thank you again for a great stay and if I were to come back to Doha again, I will definitely stay at the Sharq.

Our stay at Sharq Village & Spa, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel, was truly exceptional. The team was incredibly attentive and professional, ensuring everything was seamless from the moment we arrived to the day we departed. The hotel itself is a haven of tranquility, with beautifully maintained facilities that blend impeccable hospitality with the warmth of Arabic culture and architecture. From the elegant lobby to the luxury yet functional villa and the serene swimming pool/private beach, every detail was thoughtfully designed for our comfort. Although our visit was brief due to a flight transit, we are eager to return for an extended stay to fully enjoy the luxury and charm of Sharq Village & Spa 🩷

Excellent spa service, very relaxing. Pat was very good at listening to your requests and accommodating the service accordingly. Very professional, respecting people’s privacy. Cons: expensive, the minimum is 600 QR per hour
