“Beachside Doha beauty, minor renovation”

The Chedi Katara Hotel & Resort, Doha, Qatar is a strikingly beautiful beach resort — real flowers and orchids throughout, sea-view rooms steps from the sand, and a relaxed vacation feel with a buggy shuttle to the neighboring mall and cultural village. Service is called nice and kind, over-water dining and the bread basket are loved, and a chef's French toast is singled out. One important caution: a renovation zone sits between pool and restaurant, when a rusty painted fixture scratched a child's leg; the guest still left satisfied after a small episode. Otherwise, reviews glow.
