Memberships for club/hotel
Hi,
i hear that to keep a family busy you need to join a club/hotel.
Some have recommended the Dana club and Diplomatic club, and some of the hotels?
What are peoples experiences and recommendations?
Does anyone have contact for the Diplomatic and Dana clubs?
Thanks in Advance
The Diplomatic Club - 4847444
thanks Lanre, I do have kids, how would that change your answer ?
i'd definately opt for the marriott for the family and kids. not too crowded and they have a fantastic BBQ - not during ramadan ofcourse.
i know that there are some special prices being advertised right now...
I have been thinking about this too. I have 3 kids and would like more activity places to go. Check out www.danaclub.com.qa and see what you think. This may be where we go as my husband wants indoor tennis if possible.
We (American Expats) were members of Diplomatic Club previously (2004 to about 2007) but found it was not very kid-friendly. The pool is small and if the kids got too active jumping in (not diving) they would tell them to stop. Once they changed rule that women had to wear a one-piece bathing suit, we dropped our membership.
We were also members of Doha Club which was great for kids and families but they've closed. Now we are not members anywhere. The hotels is where most of my friends belong - Intercon, Sheraton, Ritz and now Al Sharq (which I hear is so-so with kids too). At the hotels, you can usually pay a day-use rate which is high, but I suggest you try out the various ones and see which you like best before commiting to a full membership. If you have kids, find out where their families are members as the kids like best to play together.
assuming you don't have kids, i would recommend the intercon club membership..
i'm not a member myself, but people i know that are members absolutely love it.
it's one of the few hotels with a beach, and a great view of the scrapers!
