Clubs in Doha
Hiya all!
I just wanted to give you feedback about clubs and health centers in Doha. I passed by each club and enquired about facilities and services:
1. MEMBERSHIP COST
- Marriott Hotel (The Spa) / QAR 4,800
- Doha Club / QAR 5,700
- Shiraton Hotel / QAR 5,900
- The Four Seasons Hotel / 12,000 QAR
- Dana Club / QAR 4,200
- The InterContinental / QAR 6,500
- Diplomatic Club / QAR 7,000 (i guess so)
- The Ritz-Carlton (The Spa) / QAR 11,000
2. SWIMMING POOL & GYM
- Marriot: Quite small & no indoor pool / Gym is quite small too
- Doha Club: Big pool but no indoor pool / (have no idea about gym)
- Shiraton: Meduim pool but no indoor pool / (have no idea about gym)
- Four Seasons: Meduim pool & no indoor pool/ small gym
- Dana Club: Big outdoor pool & small indoor pool/ meduim gym
- InterCon: Big pool but no indoor pool/ meduim gym
- Diplomat: small pool but no indoor pool/ meduim gym
- Ritz: Meduim outdoor pool and big indoor pool/ meduim gym
3. TENNIS COURT
all of the clubs have outdoor courts exept for Ritz (indoor courts)
There are frustrating things in some clubs;
- Marriott: You have to wait for membership acceptance (a week or more)
- Doha Club: Singles under 30 years old are not accepted
- Shiraton: Fully booked and have to wait until year 2007
- Four Seasons: haveing problems with tennis courts ground and no indoor pool
- Dana Club: They don't accept singles.
- InterCon: Fully booked (you have to wait for 5 months) and crowded
- Diplomat: expensive for such small and limited facilities
- Ritz: Beach is not available (because of constructions of Lagoon Plaza)
Well, I hope this is a useful information to you chaps.
Cheers!

The Ramada has an OK gym ...The Ramada has an OK gym with weights, rowing machines and all the usual, plus a pleasant pool which allows about 15m straight-line swimming. Annual m'ship is 6,000 for families and 5,000 for singles, all subject to a 375/- registration fee. They also have one, three and six month packages.
Haven't been there for a while, but the Oasis's large gym always seemed a bit scruffy and indifferently maintained and women I knew preferred the greater comfort of the Ramada or Sheraton.
Garveys has a small but clean, new gym, and the Rugby club has a lot of free weights.

Clubs in Doha ...Are the costs for the clubs per annum and for the entire family, we are 2 adults and 2 children? If not how would those costs work?
Do the costs include all access, to gym, pool and beach?
