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.

One if the best hotels we ever stayed in. Lots if activities for kids, amazing food, really great overall. Room facilities are great, only problem is the shower is way too hot in the room. Other than that everything was top notch! Breakfast/dinner was great too!

This hotel is fantastic and very fresh and clean. The rooms are super nice and clean. Great atmosphere throughout the resort. I just don't understand why this hotel is not a 5 star hotel. The hotel deserves to be 5 stars. Will come back again for sure.

We had a brilliant time at Centara Mirage. For families this is a brilliant place to stay - especially those with younger children (our 2 sons are 5 and 7 and this was great for kids their age).

We had a brilliant time at Centara Mirage. For families this is a brilliant place to stay - especially those with younger children (our 2 sons are 5 and 7 and this was great for kids their age). It's a little bit out of the way on Dubai Islands but taxis are cheap so its fairly easy to get to the main tourist sites. We had no problem getting sun beds each day and the food in all of the restaurants was very good - Ajay in Sheesh was an especially brilliant host and took time to speak to my wife and children each day. Our only (VERY slight) criticism was that the duvets for the double beds were very small - we had to ask for additional duvets to cover us. Apart from this our stay was absolutely brilliant!

This hotel is perfect for families and children, offering a wide range of activities, multiple swimming pools, and a prime location right on the beach. The restaurants provide a great variety of food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the poolside bars have an impressive selection of drinks. Every staff member we interacted with—from reception and concierge to the restaurant and gaming room—was incredibly helpful and courteous. The Sheesh restaurant on the 8th floor is a highlight, with excellent food and a customer-focused team. Our room was road facing, spacious with big beds and was cleaned daily. While the pillows were a bit too soft for our liking, that's just personal preference. Although I had read concerns about noise from overflying planes, we didn’t experience any issues. In fact, it was quite interesting to watch the planes, and they were high enough not to cause any disturbance. To further enhance the experience, I would suggest adding an entertainment team to lead outdoor activities like water aerobics and beach games. This would be a great way to bring guests together and build on the hotel's reputation, I’ve seen this done very well at other hotels around the world. Overall, this is a great hotel with no complaints from us. We will most definitely return! Read less
