Wow, certainly there are people out there who welcome that policy and do not like to have (supervised) children around. This is disturbing to say the least.
My generation has became so self centered that many of us not only want to remain childless, but also we feel unconfortable having to listen to other people's children when we want to relax. We do not realise that time will ensure that those screaming children will have to work more and harder and pay a higher percentage of taxes to support the increasingly ageing and childless generation of today.

I find that this policy does not do any good to the already bad name of Marriott as a hotel brand. I've tried the Sheraton, which is a turly beautiful hotel, but there is such a long waiting list, guess my child and I will just have to wait and be patient.

With the closing of the Palm tree Island, there is a shortage of places where small children can run around. Especially in this country you cannot walk safely in the streets due to the driving styles and lack of street lights and peatonal areas. Parks, such as Bidda are next to roads and a toddlers could easily step onto the road, which makes it very difficult for parents to relax. Whoever says that Qatar is a good place for families is wrong.
