I Stay In The World's MOST EXPENSIVE Hotel! 👉kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rMh4paWanc24nZs.html

For some reason I’m not blown away by this resort ? But Tim is just amazing as usual , I love it that he loves his coffee and tea ❤

Seems like the villas should have their own buggies for you to drive yourself around the island, that would be way quicker.

For the price, I would expect the bed to have NO bugs. And the ever-creaking door would also keep me away from this resort.

As a Qatari we don't ever go out from June to Sep especially afternoon time. Actually we run away to your country or Europe in summer. Be safe Tim, it's not healthy to walk in this weather. Thank you for amazing channel. Naif

I think you need to understand better the term deserted. This is in no way an abandoned or totally empty place. It simply does not have many people spending ridiculous money to stay there in that heat. There is a serious feeling of things being unmaintained at this place.

9:50 "everything you see here is complimentary!" got to be at least £15 worth of drinks and snacks in there, they're spoiling you Tim!

The salt and sea air creates rust, plus they have sandstorms which exacerbates the discoloration.

The floating picnic seemed lovely.

The blue bathroom tiles are glorious.. I want those.

If you ever get a rattly door again, grab some cloth, like the flannel put it in the door and then shut it and it should be enough to stop the rattle, if it’s not use a towel!

Seems a bit pointless having oversea villa if you can't get into the sea! Super amazing how quickly you are able to get these great videos out so quickly. Have you considered an "extra" channel to get some raw/uncut footage out too? Things like a proper look around the breakfast buffet or walking around the resorts/hotels? Things too long to get into the main videos.

Those over the sea villas usually have a glass floor so you can watch the fish, and steps to go down for a swim in the ocean.

this is my comfort channel 😊

You're a tough guy, Tim, and quite the companionable guy, going through all the volatile, weird, scary places, but also the nice, cosy, luxurious places for us viewers. You do an excellent job, although a ghost or two may appear at any time in some weary hotels and places. With your efforts, you are also creating one of the best resorts, travel, and tourism channels on KZfaq. Thanks for that!

Definitely another 'wow' location. Being out in 48 degrees (low season for me!) Noel Coward's Mad Dogs and Englishmen comes to mind! Taking all into account, the cost does seem about right. You do certainly find some incredible locations and it is great that we are able to experience these with you, without actually having to go there. Very much appreciated and enjoyed..

Yes! My son used the phone on the toilet to tell us he's in the bathroom as we sat on the balcony!😂

Tim: ooooh dates. I actually don't like dates. 🤣🤣

I'd love to see you at the Four Seasons resort, in an over the water bungalow in Bora Bora. From the videos I've seen, they do it exactly right there!

Can you start sharing the total price at the start? I promise I will still watch the entire videos. It would provide context whilst I follow along.

Your floating picnic is gorgeous!!!

No need for holidays anymore - just travel vicariously via you Tim. Hope you do the Seychelles.

I guess they're thinking a lot of people don't really see this. I DO! 😂😂😂 I love your videos!

Worked in Doha in the 80’s and 90’s wearing full PPE. Horrendous but after a few weeks you got used to it. I agree though. The sun beating down actually feels like it’s burning.

Hi Tim thank you for all the hard work you do love you all ❣️

The food on that floating picnic looked really yummy.

Tip - for a squeaky door if you have some fly spray , spray some on the hinges , it will last a couple of days and you will be gone by the time it squeaks again.

Such a shallow, fake and - at spots - already crumbling "keeping up appearances" kinda world... ...but I do still watch every vid with great pleasure; often as a reassurance not to save up for these trips! Thanks once again for a very honest and revealing episode, Tim!

I hope you finished all the food on that floating breakfast, it looked delicious.

Alcohol free resort? I will cross this off my wish to visit before I kick the bucket list.

IM SHOCKED! That place is beautiful! Thank u so much for the efforts 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

Tim you have two bathrooms- if you were concerned about the bed bugs you could have slept in one of the baths 🛀 😊

Now this looks amazing

The wait for buggies would annoy me….nice spacious rooms. I wondered what the basic accom looked like/costs.

Flown over that island so many times as it’s close to Doha Airport. I have never seen anyone on it. Being zero alcohol is not that unusual 10-15 years ago but Doha was meant to have moved on and be more cosmopolitan and appealing to western tourists they are going to have to change that part….

Can’t, wait for this video enjoy your time there! ❤🎉

The sea air and water takes its toll on the outside areas. They could paint once a month, and it probably wouldn't last very long.

I love the lights on the ceiling, The tile in the shower and the toilet area is beautiful, I would of stay in the other bedroom! Love the pool area I want that pool, the patio is amazing. The food looks so good you're making me hungry. Thank you for sharing this beautiful resort.

A friend of mine who got married stayed at one of these at Maldives in South Asia. That one seemed really nice. You had the chance to swim with dolphins and the water near the beaches glowed at night when you walked through the shallow end of the beach - natural flora that glows during water movement. The whole area won a 2023 World Travel Award for best resort. Yes the paint does wear off from the ocean and sun which can be repaired during off season. Still a nice place where you were at.

Regarding the bathtub, one of my homes had a very large Jacuzzi bathtub in the primary bedroom. It had its own hot water tank but still took about 30 minutes to fill

Tim you’ve been killing it lately, loving these Middle east resorts, they are always very unique

Your shower capacity estimates are always the highlight of your videos. You realise there would be riots if you ever missed it?

It’s on!!!! C’mon, hurry!!! Sit down n let’s all watch it together.

Pity it was zero alcohol resort, I would need a stiff vodka to sleep on the mattress when Tim described the little insects or funny things with legs he'd found. A fascinating insight as always, and a bit of an education.

Nothing better than an Island resort all to yourself 😅

mrs tightwad here tim. thankyou for this video and sharing your experience. Nah wouldnt stay here the matress would freak me out and it was a resort that had no soul as i saw it and megga expensive. But thankyou once again tim i feel i have been here through your camera eyes

zero alcohol island really does explain why its dead

Looking forward to this!!

The seafood looks magnificent. The heat seems entirely too oppressive.

Can’t wait! 💕

42 degrees here this time of the year in the shade, I live here, good luck tourists lol

Great video as always. I don't know there is just something about this resort that doesn't feel cohesive and the public spaces didn't really look that luxurious. The bed situation and the outdoor loungers alone would freak me out. I couldn't afford to stay there anyway so thank you for sharing another fun video with us!

Hello it’s Levinia here.I love this location all around beautiful water.With the villas I think it looks more like a sea horse than a banana.x

They are physalis part of the gooseberry family

The heat would undo me lol. So fair play to you for going in summer. It did look nice, but I see what you mean regarding some tatty bits. I think my fave thing would be the floating picnic, that looked amazing. Thank you for a great vid.

Large shower = plenty of room to wash your arms ,body etc ! To Tim it means get more people in at one time 😅😅

The place is completely maintained and has electricity. Calling this island "deserted" is like calling my current apartment "abandoned"

We can always count on Tim to point out the great and not so great points of interest. I appreciate and respect your honesty, Tim! Thank you for another amazing video! ❤

I do like it when Tim goes to places where other people like to go on holiday, This place is empty again. Ibiza was a great video actual life/people there . keep up the great work.

Be careful not to put the pineapple in your welcome items upside down outside your door otherwise you'll find out how many people you can fit in your shower!!!

Wow Tim, amazing!!

I don’t like the feeling of someone possibly standing behind me as I sleep 😂

I can't imagine anybody wanting to go to these hell holes in the summer. You can't go outdoors because of the torrid heat, and the sea water is warm so you can't cool down in it. There's almost nobody around, there's nothing to see on the island - except sea and more sea. An absolute bore of a place. 😴 Thanks for the video though Tim. Even though I'm not attracted to these places, you still make them interesting. P.S. If you don't know what those nasty bed bugs look like, you can look the critters up on Google.They recommend that you never put your luggage on the floor or on the bed...you could take some of them home with you if the hotel is infested. Wow, I've just noticed that you've got almost half a million subscribers. 🎖🏆

I think I'd be a little disappointed with this as a 5star property. As a luxury travel consultant in Costa Rica, I'd expect more! The waiting time for a cart is CRAZY! The maintenance is an issue too.

Hey Tim, the reason some of those buttons don't work or do anything is probably because in other locations like other villas not over the water that are on the actual Island might have those features and they just utilize the same control panel throughout the resort since its probably cheaper in the long run instead of having to have multiple different custom control panels. Thats just my thought on that.

Hi Tim! The tagging on the bed is for the 'Mattress Rotation'. Hotels, Housekeeping department in particular rotates the bed quarterly thats why there are months indicated on them. Its to retain the quality of the spring and I could say its overall quality. Its also one thing Housekeeping do to check on the bed bugs. I hope this helps!

Hi Tim enjoyed the vlog, but extravagant. Nice to see these different holiday destinations, thanks gor sharing see you all soon bye 😊xxx

If you don't want those dates...send them on over to me! Absolutely love them... bacon wrapped..stuffed with manchego cheese...divine!

ur definitely planning a trip to the seychelles aren't u 😁

Hi sir I am a Hospital student your videos very useful to me thank you so much sir

FYI coral is a living organism, and it is home to many different species of marine animals that are the chain of life on earth. But with three D printing you can have the exact replica of coral for a lamp. It is cool looking!

Very nice. I thought the lunch on the water was pretty cool. Have you seen the website of the world's 14 Coolest Underwater Hotels Tim ? I'd love to see you review some of them.

Well I can now scratch that resort of my bucket list! Than you Tim! Over water villas with no water access, alcohol free, and those wait times in low season??? Can't imagine what the waits are like in high season.

Beautiful looking place Tim, it’s a shame the accommodation didn’t come with a buggy… microwave would definitely come in handy if travelling with a baby

Can't wait to watch this when I get home just before going to sleep. Quality stuff as always Tim

After spending the week working then coming home and remodeling our bathroom....I'm ready for a private luxury island resort 😂 ......wheww!

OMG, that is so much food! Such luxury.

Content idea sprung to mind. Visit the "best hotel" in 10 of Europe's cheapest countries. With the likes of Albania, Latvia, Bulgaria, Poland etc and others becoming more popular budget options, thought it would be a cool series to see what you could get in the 5 star hotel range in some of these much more affordable places people are starting to like.

Wow!❤ that food looks devine!!!!

Im lucky enough to live in Doha...left UK for work. Let me just explain that because the summer months of June to August are so hot, everyone uses that time to travel overseas...kind of how UK peeps escape the winter weather for sun. Banana Island is busy all year round at the weekends though. It's a real treat for us working expats. Weather is perfect from November to March.

Despite the tatty bits and the noisy door, still looks gorgeous, I thought I could stay for a month there...then you tell me the price, OK of course... Massive lunch, love that. Do you have to give a tip every time? I guess you do. Thanks for the beautiful review as always Tim!

A no slcohil island resort no way. Now i an sounding like an alcoholic. Yeah ok but those villas i would be afraid of fallung in the sea. They badly need refurbishing.that door would have done me head in but the pool looked lovely Thanks once again Tim keep up good work ❤❤❤

I’ll always love the how many people can fit in the shower segment! 😂

I've got a resort location recommendation for you, Tim! Mohonk Mountain House in Upstate New York USA. It's been the location for a bunch of TV shows and I've been there it's LOVELY. It's also family friendly if you wanted to bring Gabby and Casper. Best time to go is in the Fall in October because the leaves are spectacular.

I'm truly surprised that your mattress encasement request hasn't been accommodated at these 5 star resorts. Thank you and Gabbey for all your shared experiences.

Great review and nice update hotel and island

I Assume you were there for two nights as you arrived the night before you started the video? .. Beautiful place !!

Where does he normally work ? He thinks every chair is an office chair ! 😅😅

I visited a friend in Dallas in the late seventies. She had a niche in the wall next to the bathtub with a phone. It was fabulous. I'm a bathtub freak.

Tim you have to put a sock in the door. Close the door on a sock stops it banging 😊

The best part for me is the food reviews.

Love this videos and you youtube . I have to use the phone in the toilet room in the hotel when got myself looked in the toilet room .

I absolutely love your channel. Thought….. can you bring a mattress encasement around with you 😮. Cos now I’m gonna do it. Got one on Amazon. ❤❤

Poor Tim. I felt bad that he was “gutted” that the big slide was closed. The resort needs to provide individual carts to the guests that are staying in those island retreat structures. Lastly, seeing Tim floating around in the sea eating his feast was hilarious! 😂

Tim: I’m not a swinger, I just want to give you an idea of the shower size Also Tim: This other shower isn’t as sexy as the first one Also also Tim: You can sunbathe nude if you want to

Oh wow looks lovely and peaceful, but the waiting for a buggy to get you from A to B abit. off putting for me. The room was nice .

Would love to stay there!! Gorgeous.. love the pool!! ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊

They need to use marine paint on the outside.

Another amazing video, Tim! Love the work you've been putting in, started watching you since the raffles hotel in qatar and your videos have inspired me to make my youtube videos better. So thank you!

As gorgeous as this looks, whatever that buzzing noise (guessing its maybe air conditioning units?) is would really annoy me, and spoils the tranquility. thank you again for another great video.
