Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai

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.

We had an aircon issue on the first night, but it was handled well with compensation, a room upgrade, and an à la carte dinner. Food was great with many options. The pool, kids’ play area, and gym were excellent my daughter loved it. Special thanks to Mr. Emad and Jomon for their professionalism and great service.

I stayed at Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai with my wife, children, and nannies. While the overall cleanliness of the room and bathroom was acceptable at first, I unfortunately had a very unpleasant experience that overshadowed our stay. I found a fingernail on the floor in the room, which is completely unacceptable for a hotel of this standard. I immediately reported it. The staff initially tried to send someone to clean it, but I refused and requested to speak with a manager. Later, the housekeeping supervisor came and offered to clean again, but I insisted on seeing a manager. Eventually, a manager named Brit (if I recall correctly) came, apologized, and assured me that he would take care of the situation and offer compensation that would satisfy me. However, there was no follow-up at all, and no compensation was ever provided, which was very disappointing. At check-out, the experience continued to be frustrating. Despite having children with me, my car was parked far from the entrance, and I had to wait over 30 minutes for the luggage to be brought to me. This delay was unacceptable and poorly managed. Additionally, the hotel was extremely crowded, especially during breakfast time. There was no proper organization or crowd control, making the experience stressful rather than enjoyable. Overall, while the hotel has potential and the rooms were initially clean, the lack of proper service recovery, poor organization, and overcrowding made this stay disappointing. I expected much better from a resort of this level. Read less
