Diplomatic club is 16,000 per annum for a family with up to 3 children

Mate, I think the key is to go for a good villa/apartment in a place where all these facilities are already available. For beach, do it on a case-by-case basis and pay daily rates. This way you can try different hotels and merge the beach outing with Friday brunches as well.

More variety for less...

The Diplomatic club is shite

If you have a family and take use of the facilities then it's worth the money . Also if you join the Intercon's frequent user programme it gives you even more money off the F&B .

Daily rates are extortionate , me and missus went the other month and i got very little change out of 1000 QAR .

That's an expensive day at the beach

No it isn't. Would work out a lot cheaper by the looks of it for a family of the OP's size as well.

co durham boy

The Diplomatic Club is rubbish mate , you get what you pay for .

Load of shite

I went to the intercontinental a couple of weeks ago when i had some spare time. Great pool area and beach. Fantastic steak at the greek restaurant there also

Mykonos is one of my favourite restaurants. They have a great BBQ night (Mondays I think) where you can sit outside and graze on meat all night whilst getting completely splattered.

Just seen this

When i was there for my interview it was ramadan so unfortunately i had to have a milkshake

Do they do offers where you pay a set price for food and drink or anything along them lines

It really was an amazing steak!
