At the Miramar Hotel in Fujairah, we rested with a group of 4 adults and 2 children from 10/29/24 to 11/06/24. This is a great place for a family vacation! The views are picturesque, nature, the sea, the hotel itself, food, staff – I liked everything very much.
Before the trip, we read different reviews, opinions were not always unambiguous. But on the spot, we were all completely delighted!
The territory of the hotel is green (lawns, shrubs, lots of flowers, palm trees), every bush, palm tree is looked after, cleanliness everywhere. The staff is responsive, friendly, smiling: at the reception, in the restaurant, and cleaning the rooms or the territory - absolutely everyone greets, comes to the rescue, communicates, jokes with children, many understand and even speak Russian. The food is themed and varied every day – there were days of French, Italian, Arabic, American, Asian, "around the world" cuisine, a day of dishes from the chef. The breakfasts are the same, the lunches and dinners are different, and each of us found for himself what he liked, everyone ate enough. The rooms are cleaned daily, of high quality.
Some points:
- often in the children's menu there were products in some kind of sauce, and often with garlic - even horns, even meat products; my children do not like sauces at all, so most often they took rice / horns / spaghetti / potatoes from the adult table; mashed potatoes were a couple of times a week and instantly ended)))
- the humidity is high, things were dried not in the room, but on the balcony; it may not dry overnight, but during the day at + 30 + 32 everything dried perfectly in 2-3 hours, so there is no problem with this, you can adapt;
- the room has a blackboard and iron, additional pillows, blankets, air conditioning, blackout curtains, safe, refrigerator, tea accessories, kettle, two glass bottles of water (replenished daily), TV (Russian channel found one), 1 universal socket suitable for our appliances; bathroom accessories: towels shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, soap, lotion, napkins, hair dryer, every day they put a set of cotton buds and discs, a shower cap and a bag (they did not understand what exactly); there are no toothbrushes and pastes, but they are given out on request; they also quickly put an extra bed for a third person, if required (we lived in Superior rooms and each had an extra a bed for a child);
- on request, a lunch box is provided for the day of the tour, and at early departure, breakfast is also provided as a brekfest box;
- we had enough food in the main restaurant as part of the All-inclusive system, so we went to other restaurants on site only for drinks; from the supplement. services were also offered by a hammam, massage – we did not go; you can only go to the gym from the age of 16, children are not allowed; there is also an indoor pool, open until 21 o'clock, but there was no need for it either;
- they are allowed to stay in the sea until sunset, this is about 18; already from 17 the sun goes down behind the mountain, it gets dark quickly; the outdoor pool is open until 19; there are rescuers everywhere, they control the order, whistle to violators who swim behind the buoys, help if necessary – one vacationer felt unwell at sea – immediately ran to They helped her to get to the sunbed, called the paramedics. Both children and adults can stay in the outdoor pool, it is very convenient. The depth of the pool is 150 cm, there is a smooth approach, there is a section with a depth of 100 cm and even shallower, so everyone finds a place for themselves;
- in the evening, the tide is out at sea, pebbles appear underfoot from the depths - a great time to look at shells, crabs, starfish; with and without a mask, 3 species of fish, hermit crabs and crabs were seen - the water is transparent even at a depth of human height; after 19, when it is already dark, you can walk along along the coast - you will see night lights, it's glowing plankton, it looks magical; there are a lot of seals on the territory))) they are cared for by hotel staff, fed; vacationers can pet cats, they can not be fed; some seals give themselves to be stroked, some can bite or bite, not much;
- animation that we managed to notice: at 11:30 aqua aerobics, live music at the fountain in the evenings, yoga at different times for small groups on the grass near the hotel; oriental dance training was on one day, about 17; there is a playground and a kids' club, we were not interested in details, but we got to Halloween, and the mini-concert was from children, so they are engaged with children in the club;
- ice cream (for children under 12 years old) is not very tasty, but it is clear that they take it often; there are two types of free ice cream – vanilla and chocolate;
- it's great that they give out cocktails for the all-inclusive system (previously, judging by the reviews, this was not the case), it greatly diversifies the choice of drinks in bars throughout the day; at 11:45 and at 17:00 there is a "snack of the day" for those who wish (in the pool cafe) – most often These are pizza slices;
- with any order, they specify the room number, and also issue an unpaid check, in which you need to enter your name and sign; it does not take much time and does not bother;
- there is an opportunity to walk along the beach and outside the hotel; we went one way to the Royal M Hotel and the other to Rotana and further along the shore, there were no problems with passing through the beaches of other hotels; you can leave the hotel and walk along the road. It is better to walk in the morning, before 10, or after 16, while it is not so hot.
On the way, passing by the Intercontinental, Meridian, Rotana hotels, you can get to the car museum and souvenir shops. We went to the first shop from the museum (Al Zafran Gifts), and we liked it. Yusuf speaks Russian perfectly, tells you everything, tells you, gives you a taste of sweets with dates. His prices are lower than in the hotel store (although the hotel also has a good store and a very friendly Makar), there is more choice, he made discounts and small pleasant gifts for us - I highly recommend it, we went to him twice, now we enjoy chocolate, dates and souvenirs.
To the left of the hotel, across the street, in the village of Al Aka there are grocery stores, supermarkets, but we did not reach them.
- we recommend that you consider a trip up the mountain! The hiking trail is called Al Aqah Mountain Trail, it offers excellent views, information can be found here: https://www.wikiloc.com/trails/outdoor/united-arab-emirates/al-fujayrah/aqqah. This is a 1.5 km long hiking trail up a 299 m high mountain. The starting point is behind the gas station (near the same souvenir shops). A sporty or young man will easily rise. If there is a fear of heights, if your head is spinning or your arms / legs are shaking from a little tension, then perhaps you should not. The trail is well marked, part of the way is a good dense path, but there are several very dangerous places where you need to climb steps knocked out in the stones or move along narrow ledges over cliffs; it is better to go together, not alone. Although when we were with a woman, she went up the mountain very easily, almost running, took a picture with a flag, and almost ran down the hill. I think her way back and forth took about an hour))) We read in the reports of other tourists that the total time is about 2 hours. It could take about half an hour for us to climb, but with stops for photographing it turned out to be longer. But the way back to me personally was scarier, we went down with my husband more slowly. We were also later told that in these mountains you can meet a cobra or a scorpion, we were lucky, we only saw a grasshopper)))
- we definitely recommend going on a sightseeing tour to Dubai! We ordered it on the TezEks website. Travel time is about 2 hours there and the same amount back at night, but in 6 hours they will show the main sights, give 10-15 minutes for photos at the Burj Al Arab and Atlantis hotels on Palma Island, the tour includes a boat trip along the Dubai Marina with meals, free time for photos at the Dubai Mall Burj Khalifa, fountains, aquarium and waterfall with pearl divers.
So, taking into account all the morning and evening walks, the sea, the pool, the mountains, Dubai, it turned out to be a rich and varied vacation, not boring at all. I didn't want to leave at all! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!!!

Our first hotel in the UAE. We were in December of the 24th year. I really enjoyed my vacation. The territory of the hotel is green, beautiful, well maintained. The staff is friendly, caring, but unobtrusive. The pool is clean and beautiful, the water is checked, the child has never felt bad when she swallowed. The beach is immediately behind the pool. The food is very tasty and varied.
The ultra all inclusive system is not the same as in Turkey, drinks are included in limited quantities. Well, the most beautiful and delicious cocktails and alcohol are paid. The prices are very high, ultra gives a 50percent discount. Two a la carte restaurants are also included. In general, the system is strange, but there is more than enough. The animation is unobtrusive, there is a kids club. The room is cleaned every day.
The hotel itself is not a tall building, but a beautiful Moroccan-style complex, which is a thrill for me. There are many cats in the territory.
I really enjoyed my vacation.

Hello everybody! We were in Miramar in October 2024. Great hotel. Very nice reception in oriental Moroccan style. A room with a side view of the ocean. Everything is clean and beautiful. The bed is huge, very soft, and I slept great. Water is brought to the room in glass bottles. Every day. The restaurant is excellent, everything is fresh and delicious. Meat and vegetables . Bakery products. There was even pork, which is amazing. Seafood, fish. From fruits : watermelon (sometimes pink), melons (green, for an amateur). Apples , bananas- only diced , which surprised me a little. Oranges, also in quarters. Sweet ones. We had an All system. Alcoholic beverages included: wine, beer, spirits. But if you need cocktails, you need to take Ull. Ice cream is served at the pool bar, from 11 to 18. Only children under 12 years old . The territory of the hotel is small and comfortable. There were enough sun beds for everyone . I was pleased with the beach - it is endless. You can walk along the beach through all the neighboring hotels. Probably about 5km. It 's just beautiful . The sand is gorgeous . I was surprised that there were no shells . Only hermits in shells (very few). 20 km away at the Fairmont Hotel, there was a small beach, but there was just a sea of shells. The sea was calm for several days, and one day there was a very strong wave, just swirling. The children were very happy . The water in the pool was cold. If the sea is 29-32, then the pool is 24❄️. There is a sauna, Jacuzzi, Hammam. And an indoor swimming pool. But children under 16 are not allowed. There is a gym.

We had a family vacation with children aged 7 and 9 from November 18 to November 29, 2024. The hotel is green and well maintained. The staff is very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The food is excellent, all dishes are fresh and varied, without mayonnaise salads. All the cocktails and drinks are delicious. Wonderful clean sandy beach. Crabs are running, the water is clear, where small fish swim, the water temperature was 29 degrees. The recreation area was professionally distributed, so there were plenty of sun loungers everywhere: both on the beach and near the pool. From 12.00 to 17.00 in the cafe near the pool, children under 12 years old are given ice cream.
Lifeguards on the beach and near the pool are closely monitoring safety.
There is a great kids club. Live music is played in the evening.
A quiet family hotel. There are many Russians.
We really enjoyed it here, we will definitely come back again!

The level of service is excellent, the food and cleanliness are excellent. For me personally, the sea is shallow with a lot of biting plankton and sometimes jellyfish. But it's not the hotel's fault. Bathing is the best in the morning before breakfast from 7 to 8. Of the cons. If check-in is at 2, then it's at two, take into account especially when checking in with children, and it's okay that there is no food; but not even a sip of mineral water - everything is for an additional fee. the fee. The bracelet is put on half an hour before the end of lunch, after which it is settled. But at the same time, a half-kilogram chocolate birthday cake is provided for you.)
For me personally, such a policy is incomprehensible, but these are only my problems)
Well-trained staff, ready to help in everything with polite communication with them. The standard room is huge, the terrace is large, everything works and shines, mattresses, pillows, linen - all of excellent quality. Live music in the evenings. For a quiet family vacation and relaxation.

A wonderful hotel! I plan to return.
Expanded:
-The beautiful and thoughtful territory of the hotel - the competent work of architects and landscape designers is visible. The hotel itself has a super interior, like in an oriental fairy tale;
- The service is of a very high level. The staff carried out all sorts of wishes like freshly squeezed juice and French fries not from the menu in 10 minutes. Dinner was brought to the room, packed neatly, beautifully, the juice in the glass was even covered with a film.
-Unobtrusive animation, no late music, etc. Live music in the evenings at the entrance to the lobby.
- The food is sufficient and of high quality.
- The beach is clean, though small. The problem of the lack of sun beds was solved after complaints from guests.
In general, the hotel is ideal for a relaxing quality holiday.

We had a rest in December 2024. I really liked the hotel. The territory is green, clean with well-groomed seals :)
Pleasant coastline, fine sand, the entrance to the sea is gentle and without stones.
The rooms are clean with good furniture, cleaning every day. Water and shampoos were brought as soon as they were finished.
The food is delicious and varied, very tasty desserts, ripe vegetables. Every day is themed. According to the system, everything is included only wine, soda, juices. If you want cocktails, it's better to take ultra.
What I didn't like: constantly signing receipts for drinks, it's very annoying and tired deck chairs on the beach itself.

We just checked out of the hotel.
We had a vacation with two children of 7 years and 6 months.
We really liked the hotel. Beautiful Moroccan style, pleasing to the eye. The design is thought out to the smallest detail: indoor plants, vases, mirrors, chandeliers. Everything is fine. Even the bars near the pool are covered with white pebbles.
Music in the evenings does not hurt the ear and does not irritate.
The buffet, although not as varied as in Turkey, is very tasty. There are a lot of meat delicacies, there are real, delicious cheeses.
The staff is always polite and friendly, they always meet you halfway.
The sea is very warm and affectionate (yes, this is not the merit of the hotel, so what).
The beach is clean, wide, and we saw workers cleaning it every day.
The animation is not annoying, but it is there. If you want, participate in activities, if you want, do not participate.
Although the travel agent assured me that the children's concept here is weak, but my daughter really liked the kids' club. Different workshops were held here every day, and in the evening they showed a movie or arranged a mini-disco. We also got to Halloween! All the children were given a "creepy" aquagrim and costumes, and in the evening they staged a fashion show and quests in honor of the holiday.
The hotel takes care of the seals, each cat with a collar has its own nickname, they are fed and protected, it is very pleasant to observe such an attitude towards animals.
Of the shortcomings:
I would not say that these are direct disadvantages, but there are shortcomings.
A weak children's table in the restaurant. BUT, despite this, we repeatedly went to a meeting and cooked steamed vegetables especially for our little baby. So everything is solved.
I would like more fruits. Watermelons were rarely sweet for some reason, why is that? There is no answer.
Sun beds... constantly occupied sun beds at sea. Very annoying, why borrow and leave? But this is generally a popular problem everywhere, not only in this hotel.
The bureaucracy regarding drinks is a little annoying, you have to sign a zero receipt for the taken drinks every time.
Check-out is strictly at 12 o'clock without food and drinks. That is, if the flight is in the evening, then you need to take this point into account. We (again) went to a meeting and for $ 100 we extended the room until the evening and for $ 100 we had lunch at a restaurant.
In general, despite the shortcomings, we had a very good vacation here. Importantly, there is a desire to come back again.

The hotel is very nice and spacious. The food is delicious. The beach is nearby. An ideal relaxing holiday is provided. It's a long way from Dubai, but you can get there by taxi.
The local cat surprised me... he came to the beach every day.
There is no way to walk behind the hotel, there is a highway right there, there is no beauty there, we went to the nearest pharmacy, everything is very modest and not very clean.
On the last day of rest, in the morning there were dead puffer fish lying on the beach and there was some kind of fuel oil in the sand. I didn't even notice how I smeared it all over my foot. Apparently there was some kind of discharge at night or in the morning. But I really liked everything anyway.

Great hotel, delicious food, clean beach. The rooms are spacious, the linen and towels are snow-white. It's a long way from shopping malls, but for 100 dirhams you can take a taxi in one direction in 40-45 minutes. Dubai is about 2.5 hours away without traffic jams. The territory is small, there is one swimming pool, sometimes there are not enough sun beds on the beach. There is a small indoor gym and a spa area. In the evenings, live music (Allegrova, Gentle May...). Within a 15-minute walk from the hotel there are good fish and meat restaurants and small shops with dates, Dubai chocolate, ice cream, chips, sweets, etc.

Cool, for a relaxing stay, the evening is live music, the food is a good choice, seafood and fish are really the trouble, there is nothing special, but there is a choice of food, super tasty watermelons, nothing special from fruits either: apples bananas oranges. But the gorgeous coastline, sunrises, sand, nice rooms, and a relaxing vacation are great. There is no animation, 3 girls are doing something, dancing, but if your child requires a lot of attention, dancing slides, then you are not here. Overall, the hotel is super, I recommend it.

We had a rest at the Miramar hotel. The hotel is good, excellent rooms, perfect cleaning, the guys are very polite, the territory is well maintained. We didn't go hungry, that's all I can say about food, but we didn't eat delicious food in 11 days.We bought an ultra all-inclusive vacation, it is very peculiar in that the hotels do not meet the standards to which we are accustomed in Europe and Turkey.Imported drinks for money ice cream for money champagne, milkshakes,alcoholic cocktails selectively for money are ultra...The a la carte restaurants are disgusting, there is no elementary bottled wine, the food and service are also not brilliant.The rest on the beach began at 6-00 with the occupation of sun beds, because at 9-00 there are no more free sun beds.In general, we had a good rest.

We stayed at this hotel with a child of 8 years old from 3 Feb to 10 Feb 25 My impressions are extremely positive. A wonderful hotel with a high level of service. Everything is clean: on the premises, in the rooms, in the toilets, in the dining room. The hotel has two warm, clean pools with a convenient entrance for adults and a very warm, comfortable one for toddlers. The first line, a couple of steps from the pool, begins the beach and the purest fine sand, and the warm (in February) clear water of the Indian Ocean. When the tide was out, crabs, hermit crabs, starfish, and jellyfish were seen (after the storm, dead puffer fish and a poisonous jellyfish boat washed ashore. There are no living poisonous reptiles in the water) and a lot of beautiful shells-the child is delighted. Nutritionally, it is incomparably delicious, ranging from sausage and cheese to meat of various shapes. Seafood every day. We really enjoyed it, we plan to come back. The animation is good, but it doesn't get in the way at all. The hotel is made in the form of villas, comfortable, cozy, family friendly.

We remember it very warmly. The food was HB, we had enough, we bought snacks in the shops to the right and left of the hotel. The sea is pleasant, clean, warm, and the pool is huge for the Emirates. The area is very clean. The staff is well-trained. All requests are completed within 30 minutes. Water is replenished as much as necessary. We were given a side view of the sea, even though the package had a regular view without clarification. Incredibly comfortable beds. Even a folding extra bed. I would love to come back. From the wishes: to tighten desserts and fruits, to change sun beds.

A quiet, atmospheric hotel for a relaxing stay. Stunning mountain scenery and Moroccan architecture. The staff is polite and friendly. Excellent breakfasts, lunches and dinners are more modest, but it's hard to stay hungry.
Wonderful cats live on the territory, the animals have names — they are indicated in the hotel's memo.
The beach is as comfortable as possible, in the evenings there are quizzes and national dances at the fountain.
If someone is worried that it will not be safe for one girl on vacation, you can relax in this hotel without company.

A pleasant hotel for a family holiday. Excellent service, pleasant staff. The rooms are always clean and the cleaning is daily. Towels are changed as needed.
The food is quite normal, the hot dishes are delicious and satisfying, but the fruits and vegetables are not very good.
As for the beach, the entrance to the sea is gentle, without sharp cliffs. The beach is sandy and clean. The guys on the beach always clean the sun beds from the sand and empty the trash cans. The sun beds, however, would not be bad to replace, there are a lot of broken ones. In my opinion, this is the only negative thing about the hotel.
The hotel grounds are beautiful and well maintained. Overall, I had a pleasant stay at this hotel.

We had a vacation in early February, a family with two-year-old twins.
The hotel has a large well-maintained territory. There is a slide for strollers and a slide for strollers everywhere. Clean wide coastline, there are always free sun beds. There are a lot of cats on the territory, it was interesting for the children to interact with them.
There is a children's room, but it only works 5 hours a day. There are a lot of toys, and they're asking for replacements. The animator conducts masterclasses, but for older children. Deafening disco in the evenings.
We chose a budget option for a trip, only with breakfast. The food is varied, delicious, and there is plenty to choose from. On the last day, just before leaving, the baby was poisoned at breakfast, choosing "muesli with yogurt." Be careful with dairy products!
There is no infrastructure near the hotel, there is absolutely nowhere to go for a walk. The nearest store is 15 minutes away. We went to Fujairah to walk to the mosque. And to the neighboring town of Dibba for shopping at the Lu-lu hypermarket.
In general, the rest cost us 280 000 rubles for four people. Of these, 230,000 rubles was a voucher (with breakfast) and 50,000 rubles in cash, spent on food, shopping in stores and taxis.

Good afternoon.
Miramar Al Aqah Beach Resort, hello.
After 12 years, we visited this hotel again with a family of five with three children. December 2024.
A cozy atmosphere, a small but comfortable territory, delicious and high-quality food are waiting for you at this hotel. And of course, a clean, warm and comfortable sea.
The hotel, of course, deserves 5 stars according to the official classification.
The slightest shortcomings (if they do catch your eye or you encounter them) are offset by the attitude of the staff.
Transfer to the hotel in about two hours from Sharjah airport. Check-in on time, and if you arrive earlier, the hotel's services will be available to you after you check in and receive a wristband in the old-fashioned way.
The food and attitude of the staff in the restaurant is 5+.
The territory is small, comfortable, cozy and clean.
The beach is small, but there is enough space for everyone. However, this time for the first time in a long time we encountered towels on sun beds, apparently, either our fellow citizens out of habit and experience (this time there were mostly Russians), or for some other reason. But I repeat, there were enough sun beds for everyone.
The number of rooms has not changed since 2012)))). The location, facilities, and layout of any room are decent. Water in a glass bottle. With a saturated drinking regime, there is not enough, but they will bring it on the bell.
Room cleaning. With children, of course, it is required regularly. But the calculation that while you are on the beach and I ask you to remove the room according to the sign, it will be removed, does not work. Just like the fact that the room will be cleaned efficiently. The bed linen and towels would be changed, of course, but the floors and furniture were often left with traces of tea and children's sweets.
Maybe I didn't remember something after the holidays, I'll add it.
Overall, the hotel deserves an excellent rating. And I hope the feedback will be appreciated and taken into account by the management.

What can be improved is to prohibit leaving towels and circles on the beach in the evening and for the whole day, leaving, or going to the beach you stop feeling like you're in a nice cool hotel because of the sight of empty but occupied sunbeds and finding a place

We rested from October 16 to October 26, 2024. A quiet nice hotel. Good service, lots of staff. Excellent food. We had breakfast and dinner. There was enough food. For breakfast there are juices, coffee and tea in kettles, water, different coffee from coffee machines. The food is varied for any person. The pastries are also very tasty. For dinner, there is only water to drink. But this is only for half board, as we had. Several seafood dishes, various hot vegetables, baked, chicken, turkey, beef. The fruits are all cut: watermelon, melon, apples and mixed salads. The sea is just a few minutes away. There are small waves in the sea, sometimes a little more or less. Live music in the evenings. It is very beautiful in the hotel, the lights are slightly dimmed. The hotel is 1.5 hours from the airport. But it depends on which way you will be taken. We were driven for 2.5 hours with a stop at the gas station. In general, we really liked the hotel. If you do not have big requests for rest, then I recommend this hotel.

A beautiful and cozy hotel for families and people who prefer a relaxing holiday. Spacious, clean rooms with a balcony. The room has everything you need. Cleaning and changing of linen daily. The staff is friendly and friendly. Vacationers are welcomed as long-awaited guests. Before checking into the room, if you arrive earlier, there is an opportunity to change clothes, put things in a lockable closet and go to the sea, which is nearby. The hotel has its own sandy beach, large swimming pool, children's pool, indoor pool, sauna, Jacuzzi. If you walk along the shore, you can see the neighboring hotels. The Miramar Hotel is low-rise, with lots of blooming greenery. Moroccan style and palm trees add uniqueness. There are plenty of sun beds on the beach and by the pool. The food is delicious, varied, and always fresh. In the evening, there is live music at the central restaurant. We had a great rest!

We had a rest on 17.02 for 10 nights (breakfast/dinner).
The overall impression
The rest was great! It was quiet and peaceful at night, and no one disturbed my sleep. There was enough food, it was delicious and quite varied. The territory is compact and convenient. There is a sea and a swimming pool. 10 nights is the optimal time for recuperation. An ideal option for those who prefer a relaxing holiday.
Positive
✔ High-quality nutrition. It may not be the most diverse, but there has always been a selection of interesting dishes.
✔ No noise. There are no loud parties, intrusive music and crowds of people.
✔ Minimum animation. Entertainment programs were almost nonexistent.
✔ Well-developed infrastructure. There is a shop and a cafe off site where you can have a delicious and inexpensive lunch.
Minuses
Cool water in the sea. It is better to go closer to summer (from April). There is a heated swimming pool.
, Old numbers. An update is required.
The sea is a shade of green, but clear. There was no mud on the beach.
Inconvenient receipt system. At dinner, I had to write out the receipts every time I got up from the table.
❌ Air conditioning at the entrance. Constant cold blowing.
❌ Restrictions for non-all-inclusive guests. They give you only one glass of water, after which you need to catch the waiters.
Recommendations
You should not take a trip to Dubai. It's better to go to the city itself right away. Guided tours are 15 minutes per photo "from afar" and further along the route. There is little historical value, the city is new. The money is wasted.
🔹 Walking distance to cafes and pharmacies. You will have to walk along the road, but you can find good places with delicious food.
🔹 Do not take "Dubai chocolate".

I really liked the hotel, an ideal place for a family beach holiday. Nice spacious rooms, daily timely cleaning, varied meals. You can always find an empty place on the beach or by the pool. The animators carry out sports activities during the day, especially stretching on the beach. Lots of kitties. Friendly staff.

I am currently here. From the good: a large, cozy room, balcony, sea view. Nice pool. Good towels both in the room and for relaxing by the sea. They're soft, it looks like they're new.
There are, well, a lot of disadvantages. The hotel does not pull on a five, with grief-in half on a three. The room is cleaned so-so. Two guys, they're trying, but where they see it. Therefore, the dust is partially everywhere, the balcony is dirty, the bathtub is ugly. The mixer asks for a replacement, it works, but it's breathing hard.
Meal. A separate conversation. This is not food for a five-star hotel. The cooking is bad. It's not tasty. Except that only desserts are edible. The soups are disgusting, the pasta is boiled to an outrage. The meat is over-dried. And the choice of food is scarce. Salads are made from what they didn't finish the day before. Three types: with pasta, with chicken left over from yesterday, with greens. Cheeses: 2 types + feta. Yesterday they were generous, they gave it with mold, the people did not finish it, today it (cheese) is in the salad. It's not my first time in the Emirates, I know what kind of breakfasts are served in five-star restaurants. There are also scary fried sausages. Well, it's pathetic. It's a disappointment. They would have written: 3 *. Then everything is clear. And so, it's sad. My vacation is coming to an end, but this is definitely my first and last visit to this hotel.

Great hotel! The food is excellent, there is variety every day, the staff take excellent care of the hotel, it is always clean everywhere, there is no sand in the corridors, no dirt in the pool, although the hotel is on the first line. Cocktails are made quite strong, be careful with them. Bottled beer. The mattresses are very comfortable, and there are a lot of pillows. I really liked everything! There are shops to the right and left along the road from the hotel, and in the hotel itself there are shops with prices no higher. You can safely take chocolate and dates as a gift.

I really liked the Miramar Hotel. A large area, 100 meters from the room to the sea. A sandy, clean beach of its own. There is no need to occupy the sun beds for earlier. There are always free ones, and by the pool too. There are always clean beach towels for free. Sun beds are also free. Delicious breakfast, lunch, and a varied dinner. The rooms are large and spacious. Cleaning every day with clean bed linen. The staff is always friendly. There is a Russian-speaking employee at the reception. It will always help to solve any problem. I recommend the hotel.

Everything is fine, the hotel matches its arrivals. The service is excellent, room cleaning and linen change every day. The food is delicious, there are different cuisines of the world every day. If you want to relax to the fullest, take the "all inclusive", you will not find alcohol in stores. We had a rest in January, the weather is great, the air is +27, the ocean water is +25, there are 2 warm pools (outdoor and indoor) on the territory . Animators entertain all day, but unobtrusively. There is a children's room, sauna, Jacuzzi.

We were at the end of October, in general we liked everything, we can call it "VIP Turkey". A hotel for Emirates with an entertainment program, aqua aerobics, tennis, volleyball, table tennis, darts, live music in the evening. There is a themed dinner every evening. There is a variety of food to choose from, as many drinks as you want, juices, soda, cocktails. The territory is not very large. There is almost nothing behind the hotel, although there seems to be a car museum nearby, where they said there is a waterfall. The sea is good and clean.

An all-inclusive leisure hotel. The hotel has everything for a comfortable family stay. The animation group works all day long. Activities from morning to late evening. Beautiful, clean beach, large pool. A good fitness center, a spa area with an indoor swimming pool, open from 7-00 to 21-00. The beach line is quite long. You can walk along the coast. You can't walk to the nearest town, but it's easy to get to villages with shops, laundries and pharmacies. Everything is nearby. Of the cons: of course, it's time to send the hotel for renovation a long time ago. The rooms are old. Although, everything is very clean, cozy and delicious there!

A cozy small hotel with two or three storey buildings with its own territory , tennis courts and a SPA , as advised by friends , we rested here in September 2024, the cuisine in the main restaurant on the principle of a buffet cannot be called very well varied, but still the assortment is the same ... also, on the advice of friends , they took ultra and not OL , and you can choose dinner by appointment at the Alyakart restaurants, which is not bad for a variety and a change of scenery, the Italian did not impress, but the grill bar on the beach is great! And the ultra service is much better! I advise you that the difference in the extra payment for the ultra was small, but it was worth it!

I was in Miramar in mid-December 2024 using the breakfast-dinner system. Very warm ocean, comfortable weather at this time, clean beach. The room was spacious, the cleaning was good. Friendly staff, delicious food. Water was brought to the room every day, if there was not enough, you could always contact the hotel staff, they brought more. A hotel for a quiet relaxing holiday. We used the transfer from the hotel to the Dubai mall, very convenient.

We rested at the hotel in early October 2024. If you want a relaxing holiday, then here you are!!! There are Russian speakers at the reception. The hotel is clean and green. From animation, water aerobics, yoga, darts, beach volleyball. Interesting, delicious dinners every evening. There are a couple of shops outside the hotel, it takes 15-20 minutes to walk. At the reception, you can exchange currency at a very good rate of 3.55dirhams per dollar. If you like to eat, then take everything included, as there is nowhere to eat near the hotel. The rooms are cleaned every day, the floor is washed and swept, and towels are also changed. Not all rooms have been renovated. Also, there is not a European outlet everywhere. But you can take the adapter at the reception, if of course it is available. There are a lot of sunbeds on the beach.

A good hotel for a relaxing family holiday. Sandy beach, lots of sun beds and umbrellas. There are plenty of sun beds with umbrellas or canopies around the pool. The food is delicious and varied, there is a children's table, with pasta and all sorts of nonsense :) the guys at the reception speak Russian, they are always ready to help when contacting. The child had a birthday, the hotel had a present in the form of a delicious cake and room decoration.
The rooms were cleaned every day. And they changed the towels.
Of the minuses, rather it is not a minus, but just the nuances of the service at the hotel. In the breaks between breakfast, lunch and dinner, there is essentially nothing to eat, there is half an hour when pizza is distributed at the beach bar and by the pool, but I did not get to it. I rested on an all-inclusive system, there is also an ultra all-inclusive option, it is possible to go to an a la carte restaurant without additional charges, well, some cocktails are made without additional charges, for example mojito and cosmopolitan
As a result, I will consider this hotel for further trips.

Vacationed with my husband at the hotel in late November 2024. I am very pleased with the hotel. The hotel has several food options. We took breakfast-dinners. I think this is the best option. We love wines, and according to the all-inclusive program, wine is poured from bags. Water is brought in glass to the room in 750 ml 3 bottles daily.A liter bottle is available for an additional fee ( 30 dirhams ) Water with ice and lemon or without is poured in bars and in the main restaurant during dinner. If you want something else according to the NV program, then there is an Alcohol market 15 minutes from the hotel (prices are different, but there are also very decent wines for the price of a liter bottle of water in the hotel). You have to go along the side of the mosque, go through the shops, and when the building of the Royal Hotel ends on the opposite side, cross the road and go deeper into the bushes. There is a well-trodden path and maintenance staff are constantly walking. I'll attach a traffic diagram. The food at the hotel is varied. Animation is present - I was dancing, my husband was playing volleyball. The sea is beautiful. Such wonderful sunrises!!! For some reason, the guests reserve sun beds. We didn't do that. There was always a place to lie down . There are seals and birds on the territory. Beautiful plants, arches
of shrubs. The transfer is long. In general, the hotel has everything for a wonderful holiday

Have a good rest!!!
I hope my review will help you.
I am at the hotel 03.10.24
They were placed quickly at 12.00 and were already in the room . The bracelets were given at 13:00. We made a free upgrade of rooms with ocean views. The rooms are big and nice. They clean normally .The rooms are clean.
The territory is convenient . The pool is cooling down . The entrance to the water is convenient. and for children of any age .
Sunbeds by the sea should be occupied in the morning, there is not enough for everyone (in fact, not the hotel's wine, but tourists who threw towels and hung out it is unclear where ).
There are no such problems at the pool.
Food is not the strong point of this hotel (
On the 4th floor ... no one will be hungry ... but don 't expect fancy dishes either ... everything is basic !!! I advise you to buy ultra food for 10,000 rubles per person ... then everything will be OK.
You can only drink beer from alcohol ..
who is more demanding than a dude to help ... although our friends were drinking and not buzzing.
The staff is good.
A quiet hotel for a family beach holiday ... if you want to hang out, you are not here ) .
We gave away 183 rubles for all inclusive during the week
With departure from Minsk . I think it 's worth the money .

It's a lovely hotel. We had a vacation in February 2025.everything is very good, but there is not enough lighting in the rooms. The food is varied, there are a lot of things. Fish and seafood every day. The bed and towels are changed every day. It's quiet in the evening, no one yells or interrupts. The animation is so-so.
The service is excellent, everyone is trying to help, there is a Russian-speaking staff.

The rooms are good. Service without complaints. Restaurants are all below average at prices that are simply space. You can say no to fruit. The lobby bar is the best place to have a delicious meal. The sea is lovely, the beach is clean. I strained with the sun beds.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of our tourists. They don't differ in culture.
There are a couple of shops and a pharmacy nearby.
If you just need to lie back, sunbathe and the money is not tight, you can go.
Overall, the UAE was disappointed. I'm not going anymore.

A very good hotel from those that we visited in Fujairah. We rested there in April 2024. One of the few places where there is animation for children and adults. The animation team is very sincere and friendly. A good varied menu in the restaurant, which is rare for the Emirates. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The cleaning is also great. The staff is friendly and attentive. But there are also drawbacks: on the beach there are some sun beds without wheels at the head, which makes it impossible to move. Instead of them, pieces of wood are hammered in. Somehow, moving such a thing in the sand, I terribly scratched my leg, which left a scar. There is a strange system of restrictions in the AI package, but you can live. It seemed quite strange that with AI there are restrictions in ice cream. It would be nice if it was still good, otherwise it was watery and lousy. And, I also remembered, they bring "bottled" water to the room in glass bottles that are not hermetically sealed. It is unknown where it is typed. The minibar in the room with the AI package (I remind you) is completely empty(!) If desired, they can fill it for an additional fee, and also, if you go on vacation without your husband, keep in mind that for Arabs, an unaccompanied woman is no one's… And stay away from the Africans) will be pitied by the lack of money and hint at the fin. help.

I returned from the hotel a few days ago. The overall impression is quite good, but there are several disadvantages, and this is the main disadvantage, the main restaurant and the quality and level of the food offered. There are few dishes of European cuisine, there are no salads, all the fruits are cut, and these are apples, bananas, if there was a desire, they would be cut into grapes, which decorated the dish. Watermelon could be both ripe and far from this state. You can drink tea from a jug in which I brew several tea bags, you can drink normal tea either in the hotel room or in the bar there are tea bags. The second disadvantage, although it does not strain much, is the sun beds on a wonderful beach, the wheels have fallen off and not only that. It's time for the hotel administration to think about it and this is not just my comment in their direction. Bars work in different ways, there is a bartender by the pool who pours for you, as if you came to his house without asking. The most wonderful bar is next to the reception. The room is without comments, the cleaning is mediocre. The overall impression is a solid 4,stretches the beach and the excellent attitude of the staff.

We stayed at the hotel in late November - early December 2024.
The hotel was very pleasantly surprised right from the doorstep.
We arrived at the hotel from the airport at 12 p.m., the group was met by a Russian-speaking receptionist, everything was arranged and sent to lunch, immediately after lunch, keys were given and checked into the room (about 14 hours).
The rooms are very spacious. The room has an iron with ironing board, refrigerator, kettle, tea/coffee set.
The bathroom is equipped with a set of towels (3 pcs. per guest, shower caps, a set of cotton swabs, soap, shampoo, gel, balm, hair dryer. The hair dryer, however, has one name, is not at all powerful, so attempts to dry their heads were immediately drawn out).
The area is very clean, a large swimming pool, the ocean/sea is wonderful!!! The beach is sandy, there were enough sunbeds for everyone.
You can walk along the beach, including going through the beaches of neighboring hotels. I recommend to meet the dawn - it is very beautiful and the sea is transparent as glass.
Darts and volleyball are played on the beach during the day. Yoga and aqua aerobics by the pool.
But mostly it's always quiet everywhere (they don't turn on music loudly, they don't persistently invite you to any activities).
The hotel is more designed for a quiet family holiday (while there are not many children because there is little infrastructure for them). There are many people aged 55+, families (Russians and Europeans) on vacation.
In the evening, the animation is quite monotonous (singer and saxophonist + animators conduct a "guess the melody"). There are very few seats in the atrium where the evening program takes place. At 22.00 there is silence in the hotel, so if you are not your big company, then hanging out will be problematic.
There is a gym on site (very poor, but you can organize a supportive workout), a tennis court (during the day without lighting for free by appointment, equipment is also given out for free; when it's dark, you need to pay for the light), a spa (did not go).
Separately about nutrition. As I understand it, the hotel has 3 power systems:
1. Breakfast
2. All inclusive
3. Ultra all inclusive
With option 1, everything is clear.
Option 2 (we had it):
- 3 meals a day buffet
- For half an hour a day, between main meals, some rolls / buns are given by the pool / beach bar for the hungry
- Bars are open from 10.30 to 24.00 (local drinks: red/white/pink wine - simple, sour; spirits and cocktails based on local spirits, beer (in cans)
Option 3 in addition to the range of option 2 offers
- for 10 days, 2 visits to the a la carte restaurant by appointment (there are only 3 on site: Italian, Asian, grill)
- Imported alcohol
- Service at the beach bar / pool like from 10
- 24-hour room service, i.e. room service according to the menu of a certain set of food and alcohol
If you choose option 2, you can also arrange round-the-clock service and a la carte, but for an additional fee.the fee.
On site, we only ate at the main restaurant, which is incredible!!! I ate so delicious on the buffet, except in the Turkish Rixos.
There were roast beef, baked turkey, duck, pilaf with duck, pasta with seafood, seafood in tomato, white fish. The chefs are trying very hard, there is a special sauce next to the dish, which perfectly complements the piece of fish / meat taken on the plate. An interesting set of soups (although I'm not a fan of them at all, but I wanted to try everything for the first time!).
And what croissants for breakfast! We didn't get to desserts, we didn't have time for them. The selection of fruits is standard: apples, watermelons, melons, oranges, papaya, bananas (all chopped).
If you want more seafood, then through 3 hotels (you can walk along the beach or on the road) there is the Rotana hotel, opposite which there is a fish restaurant, everything is fresh! We ate king prawns (2 servings of 9 each) and lobster + green salad, the price of going to a restaurant is about $ 100. It was just the two of us, we ate to the brim, it was very tasty, I recommend going!
Nuances: on the day of departure at 12.00, the bracelets are removed, so if there is an evening flight, you will need to pay extra for food and drinks (that's where we went to eat lobster).
Room extension is $100 (food is not included and is paid separately).
There are a couple of shops on site (souvenirs/chips/ swimsuits), but there are no drinks in them (apparently the hotel forbade us to buy in restaurants, we were looking for Schweppes, we had to go outside the territory).
Excursions: we went on jeep safari and Vip Dubai.
Vip Dubai is a complete divorce that is not worth the money ($160 per person at Coral): we rode a small bus without a guide 2-2.5 hours to Dubai, there in the old part of the city a guide sat down with us - a great cheerful Armenian girl, only speaking Russian poorly, led us to I went to the store for 45 minutes with souvenirs / nuts / dates (by the way, the price tag is really not bad there) and spent 15 minutes in the rest of the market with some information that was difficult to perceive due to the fact that she speaks broken Russian. Then we were taken by bus to the museum of the future, to which we were taken and taken out (just passing through the hall - tickets are not included in the program), then the monorail along the "palm" (according to the guide who sold us the tour, we should have seen the whole "palm" from the monorail, but in fact we did not see almost nothing) then they took us back to the local market (already another one) and sent us for an hour to walk around it. Then we went to the Dubai Marina, where dinner on the yacht was planned. There are no questions about the yacht, it is clean and decent. The walk takes an hour, along the canal, the yacht moves at a very slow speed: you sit and look around. Dinner on the yacht is terrible: fried chicken wings, thin pieces of chicken with skin, some not tasty cutlets, pasta in tomato, rice, vegetable salad which was not enough for everyone. If you suddenly decide to go for a supplement, then you need to beg for it directly! This is very unpleasant.
After the yacht, we were taken to the Dubai Mall (this is hell) in the center of which the guide left us for 2 hours, showing
us the direction where you can see the singing fountains, Burj Khalifa and aquarium. There are a lot of tourists in the shopping center (they are taken by buses), the shopping center itself is huge and bustling. Naturally, there is a huge crowd of people to the fountains. In my opinion, in order to shop in this shopping center, you need to go there for at least half a day, and 1 hour would be enough to see the fountains. We were just hanging out and eating ice cream, dreaming of getting to the hotel.
Jeep safari is for amateurs, since I'm an amateur, I liked it overall. A large white jeep (mostly 3-row land cruisers) is picked up from the hotel and a colorful local driver takes it to the desert, at the entrance to the desert the wheels of the car are lowered a little, and they are taken to a specially built "village". There is a technical nuance in the organization: if the safari package did not take an additional ride on buggies or ATVs, then 1-1.5 hours will need to walk and wait for the rest to ride. Then everyone is put back in jeeps and the fun begins (dunes, desert). I would not say that riding is extreme, but I am a lover of such thrills and it seemed to me that modestly and from their cars they do not squeeze out even half of the possibilities - they take care of tourists, but my whole jeep screamed joyfully. A stop for sunset photos is organized in the desert (very beautiful). Then they return you back to the "village", there is a buffet dinner (much more modest than in the hotel, but tolerable) and a show (belly dance and fire) then you are returned to the hotel by jeep. If the guide at the hotel had told us that if we didn't go by buggies / square, then we would just have to hang out, we would have paid for this fan, otherwise it was boring (hello Coral). The price of the tour is $ 55.
Bottom line: the hotel is very pleasant with a great beach holiday and delicious food. The ocean is magnificent! We didn't have enough of a party, but we were ready for it and not everyone needs it. The food is at the highest level. Alcohol is tolerable.
If you want to see Dubai, it's better to fly to rest closer (Sharjah, Ajman) because I was sorry for the day spent on this tour (about 5 hours just on the way back and forth, the quality of sightseeing tours is not worth it).
in late November - early December 2024.

If you want to see Dubai, then it's better to fly to rest closer (Sharjah, Ajman) because I was sorry for the day spent on this tour (about 5 hours just on the way back and forth). Individual guides set themselves the goal of selling you anything right now, without much dedication to the nuances of the excursion program.

A great hotel for a relaxing family vacation. We have been resting here since 14.01, the day after tomorrow we will fly away, but we don't want to)
For those who are going here, I'll write it down point by point:
1) The food is excellent, there is a huge selection. Besides the fact that everything is delicious, the concept changes every day, for example, today is the day of Asian cuisine (there were something like Vietnamese soups, rolls, other Asian food), and so on every day, everything is delicious, a variety of baked goods, cakes, fruits, in general, there are definitely 5/5, for everyone who lacks French fries are the road to "delicious, period")
2) The room service is excellent, they clean every day, and we bring a lot of sand from our feet. Always fresh bed linen, towels, in general, there is nothing to complain about. Separately, about the rooms, we have a huge room, compared to the tiny Turkish ones, there are real royal chambers here, the plumbing is in order, everything is very cozy
3) The staff is friendly, sometimes my husband and I laugh that they say "thank you" to us when we leave dinner. Everyone is friendly, they will always bring everything, they will tell you, they partially understand Russian, you can explain yourself
4) The beach is clean, the sand is always smooth in the morning, well, there's nothing more to add, everything is fine
5) The territory is small, but you can always walk in the evening, refresh yourself, there are flowers, plants, and seals everywhere. The main attraction here is) There is nothing to do behind the hotel, there is no infrastructure, a maximum of a couple of km away is a shop, a pharmacy and a museum of retro cars (we did not go there). About pharmacies, too, for the future to everyone who goes - stock up on everything at once, the prices are horse-made, what our pharmacy costs 300-400r here will be at least 1.5-2k
We definitely recommend the hotel, we would definitely come here again for the winter)

We had a rest in August 2024, an atmospheric beautiful hotel. The territory of the hotel is well maintained and clean. The staff is wonderful, friendly and always ready to help resolve issues. Even when the hotel was 95% full, there were always places to relax on the beach and by the pool. In terms of nutrition, it is better to choose the Ultra all-inclusive concept in order to go to ala-kart restaurants in the evening. During our vacation, we managed to visit all three: Italian, Asian and grill. I liked Italian the most. The choice in the general restaurant is not large, without frills, but everything is quite tasty and always fresh.
Unfortunately, in August there were strong waves and it was not possible to swim in the sea every day, the weather was quite comfortable, but in the evenings there was strong humidity.
A strong animation team, cool guys, conduct yoga, aqua aerobics, dancing, darts, volleyball, evening entertainment. But in the evening there are no such activities as for example in Turkey. The only thing I didn't like was the kids' club, or rather the club itself is equipped perfectly, but the animator is absolutely not interested in studying with children, some kind of indifferent.
Overall, a good hotel, fits its category, but I'm unlikely to return a second time, it's better to choose different places to travel 🤗
