Qatar Unveiled: Nadelle's Arabian Adventure

Today was a VIP day at B12 Beach Club Doha, which included brunch. We were shown around the Beach Club, where cabanas were reserved for us in the VIP area.

We enjoyed a dip in the sea, and then, for lunch, we went inside the restaurant for a few hours and enjoyed brunch. We enjoyed pizza, chicken satay skewers, thai beef salad, Caesar salad, mini fish and chips, spaghetti arribiata, mini beef burger sliders and chicken tikka. There was also a wide variety of cocktails, wines, beers and soft drinks.

We then returned to the hotel in the afternoon to pack our suitcases and transfer to the next hotel, the InterContinental Doha, where we stayed for three nights.

After we were shown our rooms, we freshened up and headed out for an evening tour of the Doha Souk Wakif. We came alive with people in the evening. We had a gorgeous meal at a Persian restaurant called Parisa. Here, we enjoyed a meal of various barbequed meats, rice and salads. After the meal, we were transferred back to the hotel.

WHO WOULD THIS TYPE OF TRIP BE SUITED TO?

I think that this destination and chain of hotels is mainly for couples and older clients who maybe don't want to leave the complex as these hotels are basically in the middle of nowhere, so there's nowhere to go for a walk or anything around to entertain kids over the age of 12.

However, families with younger ones would be fine as there's a great kids club and entertainment program in the Athena Pallas Village. If they want to adventure out of the hotel every night, it's not suitable, only for trips through the day and excursions.

BEST EXPERIENCE FROM THE TRIP?

I met new people and learned about a destination I'd never been to or sold. It was great to learn about it and be able to recommend it to clients that it would be suitable for, not just the hotels that I visited but the different areas.

Favourite Hotel Visited

My favourite hotel has got to be the one we were staying in, The Athena Palla Village, as it was amazing. It had everything you would need, the entertainment was amazing, all the restaurants were fantastic, and the rooms were perfect. I especially liked our private residence; it had a sense of privacy and was away from the main pool area, which was slightly loud and busy.

I also loved the Porto Brava Villas as they were the nicest villas I've seen. They were a great size, and the attention to detail was amazing in all the properties, especially the villas; it gave a luxurious feel.

Favourite Restaurant Visited:

The Dionisos restaurant was my Favourite. The whole experience and the food were great. The staff's service was exceptional, and the food, although it wasn't something I'd usually eat, was lovely (Yep, the goat I ate was surprisingly nice).
