Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai

Dubai Beach, Dubai

Virgin 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.

As a 4-star hotel, it definitely performed very well compared to some of the 5 stars I have stayed. On arrival, the hotel was clean and pretty lobby. Location wise, for people without cars, it's in the middle of nowhere. For me, it wasn't an issue as travelling everywhere was easy due to the rental car for my whole period. Service was good. Room's are very basic, could improve more. Fridges are not good. Hardly works. We had two rooms, there were issues with both rooms, they immediately changed our rooms and one of the reception managers was very good about it. The new rooms were good but again, i think Fridges in any rooms wasn't working. The hotel is a family type hotel, so there are tonnes of screaming kids everywhere. If you want to relax, then maybe this place isn't for you. We were 4 x adults. Didn't realise that at the time of booking, this hotel caters to kids more. It is one of the busiest hotels in Dubai, by the way. Food experience, it was just ok. Did feel disappointed at times as an all-inclusive. It wasn't the best, but it was fresh. Very repetitive and lacked choices. But all in all there was fresh food. Just lacked for me a little. Definitely get the seaview rooms. Otherwise, you'll look out towards construction & city view, which isn't that pretty. Overall, it was a good experience. Was it the best for me? Just ok. Would I go again? It just depends. But maybe not all-inclusive. The only reason we went all-inclusive is because it's peak summer time, and some of our family members just wanted to chill in the hotel and not keep going out in the heavy heat to eat out. But for a 4 star, it definitely wasn't bad. In fact, I believe only if they had improved the food section bit more, it definitely deserves a 5 star. Oh, the staff at Sheesh restaurant are amazing. I would definitely recommend this place to families with children. They cater very well with activities and such. The beach & pools are amazing. Service is good. Rooms are spacious. Clean hotel.
