I have a stopover coming up in Doha and I would like to swim in the ocean. Anybody recommend a nice hotel with a beach? I think the Grand Hyatt is one option.
The Sheraton has a beach and is right on the edge of the bay
.
I will ask my son who lives there.
Sealine Beach Resort. It’s not in Doha, south maybe 10-15 miles. Out in the middle of no where, but the ocean is nice. They also have four wheeling through the dunes right there which is a blast.
It’s not as western (ie, unmarried men/women could not share a room) as the Ritz, Sheraton, or Marriott, but it was a nice hotel. It also might not serve alcohol, where the more western hotels do.
I swam in the ocean out from Sealine, but don’t think I did at the Ritz or Sheraton. I don’t remember why I didn’t. But it might have had to do with the swim up bars at those hotels.
I think they have a ‘day’ rate, where you can use the pools and a room for the day, but not stay overnight. At least they used to.
