Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai

Dubai Beach, Dubai

Star rating

The hotel

This is the first of the Centara resorts in the UAE, and they’ve pulled out all the stops to create the ultimate family themed family resort to make your dream holiday come true. Inspired by mythical Thai and magical Arabian adventures, everything has been taken into consideration when it comes to suiting family trips, with interconnecting rooms and bunk beds available for all family sizes, and there’s even a childrens spa to sit alongside the adults one, so they can have their fair share of pampering too – after all, it’s tiring going down the water slides all day long! If you want to add that extra touch to your stay, upgrade to a Mirage room for access to the Family club lounge, complete with family-friendly check-in and a kids’ play area. It will be hard to pull them away from the adventure water park for food though, complete with water slides, high ropes, and a lazy river – it’s unlikely you’ll see much of them in the day, especially with the E-zone too. If this is the case, sneak away to the rooftop bar and enjoy a sundowner cocktail or a spot of shisha before dinner, overlooking the Arabian gulf.

Overall, the hotel is overrated. The restaurants are always busy, resulting in long queues to access them. For example, although they mentioned having a parking facility, I found my car parked outside in the sand instead. They are dealing with my complaints very poorly, demonstrating a lack of professionalism.

We had such a lovely stay at Centara Mirage. From the moment we arrived, the staff were great. Although our room wasn't ready, we were able to make use of the family room to change. Every staff member we met was friendly and helpful, and we especially enjoyed chatting with Moses and John by the pool – such lovely people who really made us feel welcome. We spent loads of time at Sands, this was our favourite restaurant there. The atmosphere was always fun and relaxed, and the staff there were fantastic. We did have to queue each morning for towels and beds around the pool. Some families had someone queuing for towels (which opened at 8am) whilst another family member sat on the beds and put bags etc to 'claim' the beds. We also used the hotel’s car service most days – the drivers were great, really polite and helpful, and prices were fair. We did spend quite a bit of money on transport, but we knew the hotel was a little out of the way when we booked, so no surprises there. The Dubai mall is about 25 minutes away but with the traffic was much longer. One thing we really noticed was how safe and clean everything felt. There were lifeguards everywhere around the pools, which was really reassuring with young kids, and the cleaning staff kept everything spotless. Our two kids absolutely loved it – they had the best time, especially in the pool areas. We didn’t really use the kids' club much, but it looked well-run from what we saw. All in all, we had a brilliant time and would definitely come back. We’d recommend it to other families, especially if you’ve got young children. Read less
