Rooms
Our room is spacious, clean, and ideal for a family with children. The housekeeping is excellent, keeping everything spotless without being intrusive. Even though we don’t have a sea view, it doesn’t matter because we spend most of our time enjoying the hotel's amazing amenities and outdoor activities.

Overall Impression
We are having an amazing vacation here at Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. The combination of great service, comfort, entertainment, and dining makes it the perfect family-friendly destination.
If you are looking for an unforgettable stay in Dubai, we highly recommend this hotel!
We are still here enjoying our time, and we already know we’ll want to come back! 🌴✨
A very decent all-inclusive hotel in Dubai. Perfect for families with children. The area is rich in entertainment, beautiful lobby, polite staff, decent food, private beach, daily cleaning. All these are advantages.
Among the disadvantages, I would like to note the high price for all additional services of the hotel, some distance from the city, which makes it impossible to get there without a taxi. I will also take it to the cons that you need to request a toothbrush with paste every time you call the reception. At the same time, there is so little toothpaste that this operation has to be repeated every other day. There is also a high price for drinks if you are not on an all-inclusive holiday, full board or half board. (For example, juice, a can of cola cost about 20 dirhams - 450 rubles for our money).
Overall, the experience is pleasant. It was the end of September and the beginning of October quite comfortable. It's hot in the afternoon. The sea is, of course, very warm. The rooms are perfectly cooled and maintain the right temperature without blowing from anywhere, so it's not even noticeable that it's +35 outside. I recommend it!
We arrived on 08.03. Everything is clean, everything is in the room!!!! The staff is friendly, neat, and beautifully dressed! Cleanliness is everywhere! Swimming pools, even the beautiful Vilna construction site from the room. but! Who is used to the service, keep in mind! You will have huge queues at the entrance to the restaurant (dining room)! They let you in based on the availability of tables! I went in, there were 4 empty tables, I sat down indoors first and then I saw a table on the street, it was free, I moved with the children to this table, put my things down and put a plate of food. I went to get some juice, I come back, and they're already shouting at me, like our table, the waiter comes running, then the manager with the aggressive face that's busy here. I tell you how busy it is, there were three empty tables, how do I know what is occupied if there is no reserve and it is completely empty. As a result, aggression is directed at me. It turned out that if the waiter brought you to a certain table, then you can only sit at that table. This, of course, puzzled me! The next thing that shocked me was the morning of 09.03. At 7-8 a.m., my husband and I always swim, went out, went to the pool and put my things in an empty gazebo with sun loungers, and again the shock! They started kicking me out, meaning I can't go to bed and sit on a chaise longue until I get towels!!!! It is necessary to stand in the cosmic queue for Towels! This is also the first time I've seen this!!! And only then can I lie down! What is this anyway? What a vacation with some restrictions! This is my seventh time in the Emirates! I stayed in different hotels! Of course, I haven't seen this in the top five! A huge minus! It's just that because of some little things they start to spoil the mood! And yet, they take a tax upon check-in. Usually in fives is a deposit that you then spend or pay for a mini bar. The mini bar is empty here. So keep in mind, you won't see compliments on a holiday here!!!!! You can only swim from 8 a.m.! Rest with restrictions!
I liked the hotel , the room was good , although there was a view of the construction site . The staff is excellent, polite. In restaurants, the food is fresh and delicious, Wi-Fi catches. It's hot outside, the water is unrealistically warm, but dirty. There is a lot of entertainment for children. There are plenty of sun beds for everyone. Overall, I liked it, but I won't go to Dubai a second time. There is a construction site and sand all around. It is very convenient that it takes 15-20 minutes to get to the airport, it is close. And so I recommend those who have not been to Dubai to go see it once, for example, I would rather go to Egypt, it is greener than Dubai. There are really no excursions, just shops and skyscrapers to look at. The territory is clean and well maintained . It 's a pity that there is no live music in the evenings .
A wonderful hotel for a family holiday, the food is very tasty and varied, by the way, very tasty cream soups are prepared, the staff is very polite and responsive, they respond instantly to the requests of guests, the hotel itself is newly and expensive renovated, both in the Lobby and in the rooms. The beach is clean, there are enough sun beds, the concept is designed in such a way that it is comfortable for vacationers, you can go to the Pool there are 3 of them, you want to go to the Lazy River, you want to go to the Coast of the Persian Gulf.
We had a vacation with our family in November 2024. The perfect time to relax. The sea is warm, the pools are cool. At the reception, a special thanks to the Beer employee explained and showed everything!!! There is a tourist tax in this country. Which was paid for at the hotel. 15 dirhams per night. 7 nights came out 105 dirhams. They are irrevocable. These are the rules. On the food bill, I recommend a buffet with Russian-speaking staff and very polite! on the 8th floor of Sheesh and the 1st floor of Suan Bua. I do not recommend the Sands restaurant since there are no Russian-speaking employees and our order was explained differently by 1 waiter and then he got tired, did not even try to talk to the translator and left altogether and did not even try to explain properly by sending it to another. Another waiter explained everything in a completely different way with an interpreter. But I brought it as the first waiter said. In general, they are reluctant to explain and do their job. As I understand it, knowledge of the language is mandatory and because of this misunderstanding and unwillingness of employees to do their job. The first day we were nervous about this incident at Sands. But then everything became fine after visiting Sheesh and Suan Bua. They hold events and there are games for children. Everyone is polite and tidy. I recommend this hotel to everyone!!! Of the wishes, I want to make a free transfer every hour to the city! Not 1 time. It's paid per day. And at the entrance there are their own taxis with the maximum business class rate. The same as Yandex business class taxi.
Great hotel. The rooms are modest, no frills. Refrigerator and safe, shower cabin and toilet with hygienic shower. Everything works. There is a TV. But when to watch it??? The hotel is clean. They wash and rub something all the time. It's the same on the territory. Especially in the evening. Everything is put in order after the tourists.
The elevators on the room map go only to your floor or the 8th floor where the restaurant is located. Lobby and granite floors without a map. Upon arrival, they give you a ribbon on your hand. There are waiting and rest rooms for incoming and outgoing tourists.
The food is on the level. From the children's menu to spicy Asian cuisine. There is alcohol. It is necessary to take everything included. Otherwise it is very expensive. After 1800, everyone is asked to leave the sea. Evening entertainment bar, disco, restaurant on site. For children, cartoons on the big screen on the beach. In English, of course. The atmosphere is very calm. A lot of security staff. Bodyguards are everywhere at all attractions.
Dubai Airport is 20 minutes away. When leaving, do not remove the ribbon from your hand. All employees are positive and smiling. There is a Russian-speaking employee at the reception. The hotel is designed for family holidays with children.
Of the interesting features, planes fly almost over the hotel. It's kind of fun to sit in the water and see off the planes. The noise from the planes in the room is almost inaudible. Only if you open the door to the balcony.
The family-friendly hotel is excellent (for those who like to relax within the hotel).
Clean, smells delicious, excellent staff, varied food, lifeguards at the water and at each water attraction, in the evening for children full-length cartoons on the beach on the big screen (in English).
The minus is the people who occupy the sun beds by the family pool from 8 a.m. with towels (for which there is a queue before that) and go to breakfast))
I really liked it, good rooms, good food. There are a lot of entertainment for children: slides, pools, a climbing wall, jumping towers, a lazy river, free ice cream. There is only 1 big minus, a lot of all kinds of marine life, when I swam in a mask I saw a stingray, a lot of jellyfish that sting (I still have a burn), the water is not very clean, there are a lot of rocks and algae at the bottom. As it is, everything is fine.
I didn't really like the hotel. Vacation in November 2024.
Pros:
great spacious room with sea view. (It's better not to take it without a view, you'll look at the construction site)
The food is good for adults, and the children's table too, the 4-year-old child always found something to eat. Everything is delicious.
Children's pool 🔥
The river with cheesecakes🔥
Adult pools are good
The beach is good
Seashells, starfish, fish
Minuses:
The sea is bounded by breakwaters, as if they were swimming in the lake
Jellyfish, the child was afraid to swim
Drinks: I didn't like the wine at the bar, it was good at dinner, whiskey of the same type, technical rum, beer
Service: the staff is generally not friendly, stuck up, everything is in English, but then switched to pure Russian)) There were some good guys too really
Planes took off right over the hotel every minute, if it's interesting to see during the day, then at night they slept with a closed balcony, the noise is terrible
There are a lot of children, animation, disco in English
The show is 20 minutes in the evening, the children are interested
Take care of yourself in the adult evening
We stayed at the hotel at the end of January. The hotel is located near the DXB airport and from the center of Dubai. There are only construction sites around the hotel, you can only leave by taxi. There are no shops, cafes, or anything within walking distance of the hotel. Outwardly, the hotel is not bad, there are no Russian-speaking staff at the reception, they are not very friendly. A non-refundable tourist fee was charged upon check-in. We settled in quickly, the room was on the 8th floor. In principle, the room had everything necessary for hygiene (dental and shaving kits must be requested separately). The room cleaning is good. The hotel's territory is large, there are many pools (not all are heated), and there are lifeguards at each pool.The beach line is great, there are a lot of sun beds, children's entertainment on the beach was not all working (apparently out of season).
I liked the rope park, but I need to make an appointment in advance where beach towels are provided.
Considering that the hotel has no food, breakfast or half board will not be enough. The food is not very diverse. Prices in restaurants on the territory of the hotel are quite high (the price of 1 dish is around 2000 rubles, and not particularly tasty).
We took guided tours.
I do not advise changing the money at the reception, the course is not profitable.
There was a children's animation (in English) in the evening, not every day, it was boring.
Not far from the hotel (7-10 minutes by taxi), there is a fish market where you can buy and immediately cook selected fish delicacies, I liked it)!
bottom line: the hotel itself is not bad, but there are more interesting and profitable options for the price and location
I really liked it, I was with 3 children, the youngest is 2 years old. Everything is thought out for kids, shade, pools, fountains, food. They paid extra for the sea view at the reception. We got to the city by taxi. The taxi was called through the app, there was no other way. I read in the reviews that you can use Yandex. Taxi, you can. But more expensive. The food is great. In the main restaurant downstairs, we only had breakfast, lunch and dinner at sands. We've been to the Argentinean grill twice more, it's also very tasty. We didn't like the Lebanese restaurant on the 8th floor, I don't even know why. The hotel is good, we did not regret it
A good modern hotel, excellent service and staff, mostly dancing, doing everything with a smile and good-naturedness. There are a lot of different activities for children and a children's menu. Food for 5+ I am a meat eater and was pleasantly surprised by the quantity and quality of meat) including my favorite steaks))) and my wife and daughter ate their favorite shrimp and salmon) .I recommend it from the bottom of my heart, especially with children. We took a tour at Fun Sun.
A great hotel for families with children. Food, ice cream, everything is in abundance. But there wasn't enough variety and I can't say. The rooms are not bad, but the bathrooms sometimes have an unpleasant smell, especially at night. The pools are great. There are lifeguards everywhere around the pools, you don't have to worry about the kids. There is a lot provided for the entertainment of children. At Camp Safety, you can even leave a child under the supervision of the staff for an hour and a half. It's not that far from the airport, so you can hear planes flying low almost every minute. It gets in the way at night. Although if the TV is on, it is inaudible. .
Excellent hotel, clean, good sound insulation. The disadvantages of the hotel are the noise from airplanes. You can't hear much with the windows closed. The food is very tasty and varied, the restaurant is on the top floor with a magnificent view, they loved to have breakfast there. The coffee is very tasty and of good quality, and there is good food for children. Everything is organized. In the evening, I liked watching cartoons on the beach, even in English, but a 4-year-old child watched with pleasure. An interesting children's room. Anyway, we'll go again)
The food is great, the room with a children's bunk bed is great, pools for children of different ages +a sandbox + indoor playgrounds; there are a lot of sun beds, but the sea is not worth going to this hotel at all + a lot of fans to take sun beds with a towel and come to lunch (reminds Turkey + surprised people who do not know English, but all staff should understand them in Russian - this is not Turkey. Learn languages. There are planes flying over the hotel all the time and you can hear them well - it didn't bother me, but it would be uncomfortable for someone. Excellent staff, if you speak even a little English) take rooms with sea views, otherwise you will look from the balcony at the road and the construction site.
We liked everything. Excellent 4* hotel. There is everything for a luxurious holiday. The sea is very close. The pools are clean, there are lifeguards everywhere, the staff monitors cleanliness and order. Eco-concept. The only thing is, there are no toothbrushes and toothpaste. You need to bring it with you. In terms of food, we had enough. There are 3 restaurants on site. Very atmospheric on the 8th floor. There are a lot of families with children.
An excellent ultra all inclusive hotel. A nice big beach, excellent and wide selection of food in several locations, ice cream, a beach bar, etc. it will be very good for relaxing with children. Lots of slides and children's pools
The bed in the room is generally huge. 2.4 probably 2.4)))
The only disadvantage is that it's far from the center. Taxi to help. Straight from the hotel. Bolt is a good taxi app, its prices are better than in Yasha.
A great hotel for families with children. In terms of nutrition, there is a suitable option for both children and adults - from burgers and French fries to very tasty Thai, Lebanese and Latin dishes. Lots of pools, a private sea beach, a sea of sun beds, children's aqua slides. My daughter loved the river pool. They are cleaned daily, so everything is clean. Dental and shaving kits on request. The only thing I would add is more animation, it's a bit boring... We will definitely come back here.
Great hotel. The food is very tasty, there is everything, chicken, beef, seafood every day, fruits are all fresh and sweet, desserts. There are no queues at restaurants, they came at any time, the waiters are seating them. There is a lifeguard at each pool, safety is at the highest level. Room cleaning every day, the main thing is to press the button to clean up. I'll make a reservation right away, there is no animation here like in Turkey, there are no evening discos. We really liked it. There are no Drunk people, everyone is adequate. A multinational hotel, many people from Russia, Germany, Kazakhstan, England are vacationing, all are friendly. We will definitely return to this hotel!!!
The fire Hotel. The service is top-notch. Cleaning every day. Everyone is very good-natured and friendly, especially to children. It's not true about all-inclusive paid drinks. (not adequate reviews) People confuse full board and all inclusive (boarding- drinks are paid) According to the all-inclusive system, everything is free, as much as you want + delicious ice cream. Everything is very tasty, considering all the restaurants, the variety is at the highest level, there is no such variety in Turkey (seafood, pizza, burgers, etc.). There is a Russian-speaking staff, Nargiz is pure Russian at the reception, there is also a Russian-speaking staff at the sheesh restaurant on the 8th floor, as well as a Russian-speaking saleswoman in the lobby store. In general, the hotel is on fire. Do not accept negative inappropriate reviews. Rest for 5+ is provided
Excellent staff is polite, speaks a little Russian 3 themed cuisines Thai (very spicy), coastal (not very because of the choice of 5 dishes), local (flour and for an amateur)
There is also a 4th Argentinean (meat ) , but the main disadvantage is by appointment .
There are also pools of about 7. Do not go in them, if you swim with glasses, you may vomit because of debris and snot and other debris, diseases such as rotavirus may be caused by it.
Dial the numbers on the 7th floor, which is under the restaurant, and it will be a terrible outcome. Sea view do not take an extra overpayment
We are currently staying at the hotel on 27.7.2024. Everything is fine! The hotel is excellent in everything, if you do not look for disadvantages! The beach is 250 meters from the hotel, the sea is warm and clean. The beach is sandy. There are a lot of sun beds, there are enough for everyone. The conder works well in the room. The room is cleaned every day. The room is cozy with smart TV, large beds, iron, refrigerator, sea view! the sockets are Arabic, but we were given an adapter. The food is varied: fruits, meat, beef, chicken, fish, sweets and much more (you will not go hungry) . on the 8th floor there is a restaurant with Libyan cuisine overlooking the sea.
It's cool for children in general - pools with slides, with fantanes, you can ride in circles around the pools. 2 adult pools!
In general, if you do not look for disadvantages (and there are practically none) then you will enjoy your stay at this hotel! The heat in July is up to 40 degrees in the afternoon, but if you are at the hotel and swim in the pool, then the heat is not particularly felt, and in the morning and evening you can go to the sea!
Centara is a very beautiful, super comfortable hotel for families with children. We are only at breakfast and there is absolutely everything, the cuisine is not only Thai, but universal for every taste and mentality.... And they have 2 angels sitting at the reception, Sharmila and Fija, they helped me solve the problem that I created for myself))) Girls, thank you so much again, minumum, for your sake, I'm ready to come back here again and again. There are still good people in the world 😘😘😘
I want to tell you about my impression. We were in this hotel, the hotel is decent and very nice, in the evenings there is a kids' club with an entertainment program, a movie at the sea ( in English ), the food is very tasty ( despite the small incident ). One disadvantage: the pool for kids is very, very cold! The staff is understanding, we played with bottles (we put them against the wall making our own wall), they did not throw them away, they carefully collected the toys, asked my sister for a comb through an interpreter, they always greeted and chatted). The main thing! As soon as we arrived and checked in, we went to the bar for soft drinks, or rather for lemonade, and at the end they brought us a large bill, tea +/- 500 rubles for a mug, it turned out that the drinks only in the morning were juice.
A great hotel with its own beach, but on the outskirts. Go out for a walk only on your own territory. But Dubai Mall is 20 minutes away by taxi, 10 minutes to the airport. The staff is helpful and courteous. Everything is clean and tidy with a Thai twist. There is no animation or children's club. Good pools for different ages. A clean beach. For a rest within one week of the norm, there is nothing to do at the hotel for longer. Only if you go on excursions.
Hi everybody. I come to the UAE for the second time and stay at this hotel with great pleasure. I like it for its "non-pretentious" nature, people from all over the world, Russians, French, Italians, and "locals" from the Persian Gulf countries, relax here. This is a hotel for a family vacation with children, but I travel for business and I really like it here, and it is very comfortable for several reasons. The first reason is just good, intuitively, according to Feng Shui, all the elements are in some right ratio, the sea (water), the sky (air), the sun (fire) and the place itself (earth). Away from a large crowd of people, but in transport distance from Dubai life (shopping, excursions and various attractions here). Plus the food: very tasty and combinatorial, like in that movie about what's important. And Thai for you, and Halal, and global, and European, and even a little Russian, if you want. I have a lobster for dinner tonight, somehow not so skimp, ng with taste! Come here!
We rested from 15.06 to 25.06 and were satisfied with the rest! This is the third time we have visited the Centara Hotel! The location is excellent, the bay is clean with beautiful fish, the food is excellent, there are 3 restaurants for all inclusive, there are lunches and dinners on the menu: steaks, pizza, Caesar salads, for lunch in the main restaurant borscht, soup with meatballs, but also Thai cuisine - tom yam, on the 8th floor kebabs, lula.in general, a very varied diet. The staff is friendly, at the bars by the beach and by the pools there are drinks for every taste according to the all-inclusive system - wine, cocktails, soft drinks!Thank you so much to all the staff for the friendly meeting, we will come again!!!
The hotel is good, it will definitely be perfect for children! Breakfast is normal ( the same thing every time ) lunch is not served , dinner is the same as breakfast + 5-6 new dishes ! If you have a breakfast-only system , then lunch and dinner will be paid , 1 adult 155 dirhams , 5-15 75 dirhams , up to 5 free admission , the beach is huge , the pools are very warm (33) the sea at the time of the review is 30 degrees , the air temperature is 33, if you take a room with a sea view - the pool , the sun is not it will get on your balcony , which means you will always be in the shade , it is forbidden to dry things by hanging on the balcony! Chaotically wrote what is possible, what is not , suddenly who will need information)
A super hotel for families with children!!! There are many pools, aqua slides and a lazy river. There are many interactive zones! Children have a place to turn around. Excellent and varied cuisine!!! Everything is very tasty!!! The service is at the highest level!!! I didn't expect it myself. I advise everyone!!!
We stayed at the hotel for 7 days and were very satisfied.
We flew to Dubai for the first time + with a small child)
1. We chose the hotel a few months before the trip. The child is 2.9 liters, so all the most important points and reviews have been studied.
2. The travel agency only took accommodation. Thanks to the video review, we learned that it is more profitable not to take half board.
3. The room was spacious, there was no mini-bar. Room service is chargeable, even with an all-inclusive system.
Daily cleaning, 1-2 bottles of water.
4. Planes are really flying over the hotel, and something very big is being built nearby)
BUT everything is fine with the sound insulation in the room, especially if you close the balcony doors.
During the entire vacation, flying planes did not cause any inconvenience, the sound of construction in the room overlooking the sea is not audible.
5. The food is varied and delicious. Considering the fact that Centara is a chain of Thai hotels, it is surprising to read outrage about the presence of Asian dishes😊
Every day there were meat dishes, salads, side dishes.
There is also a restaurant by the pools where you can order pizza, meat dishes, including those cooked on coals.
The restaurant on the 8th floor is very picturesque.
5. The territory and the beach are ideal for families with children😍
The entrance to the sea is soft and transparent.
Several pools (one heated), slides, a river, animation, a children's playground, a children's pool inside the river is just a favorite place for children, but in November it's fresh in the shade, sometimes it's cool, so the main location is the sea
6. The hotel staff is as friendly as possible 🌷 There has never been any negative impression.
One of the possible disadvantages is the remoteness of the hotel from the center and the lack of shops across the street.
In 15 minutes by taxi there is a shopping center with a huge hypermarket.
We liked absolutely everything.
Meals: 4 restaurants, buffet or a la carte to choose from, a large selection and everything is delicious. We liked the steaks and burgers at the beach restaurant the most.
Rooms: new and clean, there are bathrobes, slippers, iron.
Beach: towels are given out right on the beach by cards, there were always enough sun beds. There are two bars. Everyone gives you as much as you want, they just ask for the room number. Smooth entrance to the sea. Sand with small shells.
Animation every day - water aerobics, shows for children - magic tricks, acrobats, fire. Mini disco for kids in the children's room. Volleyball on the beach.
A children's club with a console, playing with children, drawing, doing crafts. The limit is 3 hours per day.
On the territory there is a water park for children up to 140 cm and a lazy river, various family pools and 16+
