Miramar Al Aqah Beach Resort

Beautiful Get away! On our arrival we were greeted by a warm smile possessed by a lovely gentleman called Sunday! He’s such a bright character. Then the next few days were spent in tranquil bliss. Making use of the fantastic beach, the sport facilities and relaxing in our pool view room, was well needed and just the tonic to feel revived and ready to face the busy life’s we lead. We came with our teenager who enjoyed all the facilities, plus the food. It truly was the best weekend away . Thank you to all the team for making it, a wonderful experience.

This is our second visit to this hotel and it was good before but has improved since our previous stay. The food is very good and caters for all tastes, from European to Asian and has themed dinners in the evening. It also has a specialist Italian ,an Asian and beach restaurants which can be booked using a automated machine in the lobby area. It has a private beach with plenty of shade and a terrific outdoor swimming pool with a large area for sunbathing. We were fortunate enough to be here for New year's eve and the celebrations were held around the pool with a superb collection of dishes from their kitchens and entertainment included. The Animations Team were responsible for most of the show which was very professional indeed. One of the reasons we like this hotel is the animations team and the activities that they organise during day. There is a specialist team that provide entertainment for children and another group for adults. There is a variety of sports to enjoy, for example boules, dart, volley ball, water polo ,yoga, stretch classes and water aerobics. These were all organised by the team and really well presented. At this point I must mention the hotel staff, they are probably the nicest group of people I have ever met in the hotel trade. They are totally professional, polite, cheerful and incredibly helpful. The staff in the Cucina and the Asian restaurants were amazing and nothing was too much trouble for them and they really made you feel welcome. The main restaurant obviously caters for most of the guests and is a much larger venue and it is possible to eat outside in the evening and at lunchtime. Our waiter there was a man called Joni whom I need to make a special mention as he was very good at his job and very helpful to my wife. Others that I also need to mention are Alice from the Animations Team, The manager of the Cucina restaurant and his staff who were all terrific and Christina and Sarah from the Asian restaurant. The staff help to make your holiday a success and this hotel has too many on the staff to mention on here. I look forward to another visit in the future. Well done all of you.

We stayed at the Miramar Al Aqah Beach Resort from 9th until 15th January, 2024 and must say the year could not have started better! What a beautiful place to be! The hotel itself, moroccan-stile architecture, it's spectacular setting between the mountains and the Golf of Oman, the beautiful and well kept gardens, the spacious rooms with huge and comfortable beds, lovely balconies and various amenities, a good number of restaurants and bars, the extremely clean and good sized pool in the center of the hotel area, and last but not least the beach just a stone throw away from the hotel rooms. Even better is the international hotel staff. Doorman, concierge, receptionists, the restaurant and bar staff, housekeeping, the recreation team, cashiers, just everyone is so helpful and friendly. Our special thanks go to: Alice, Uyo, Daria, Mando, and all others of the recreation team. In a refreshing way they motivated us and others from morning to evening to participate in various sport programms an other activities. They were extremely good with kids and solved difficult situations professionally. It was always nice talking to them. As we had booked an all inclusive package (green band) we only visited the Al Majlis Restaurant. Our special thanks here go to: Jonny (always smiling and in a good mood, what a natural friendly person), Viola (professional, hard working, organized, so friendly with kids and a good sense of humor), Ivantha Nakulu, captain waiter (very professional, always there if needed, fair to his team but always trying to motivate them to do their best, very pleasant personality). And a big thank you to the DJ from Kairo (he made a special arrangement of Arabic music for us). More to mention: It takes quite a long time to drive from the airports to the Miramar Al Aqah (1.5 hrs from Sharjah, nearly 2 hrs. from Dubai). But it is absolutely worth it. There ist not much around within a good walking distance. However, you can reach a pharmacy and a little supermarket in a 10 minutes walk. Various tour operators have an attractive choice of tours to offer. You can book them inside the hotel. However, we did not book anything. There ist also a SPA and a variety of sport facilities which we did not use.

My husband and I are on a package holiday, having spent 2 days in Dubai at voco Bonnington . . We ‘ve been made to feel really welcome by everyone . I would like to mention Arif Aditya who was very helpful and the waiting staff in the restaurant who are so cheerful and make one feel special .

Just back after a week at Miramar al aqqah. Reception met by the lovely Gerry. Checked us in very friendly,got a lovely sea view room this was the start of a lovely Hoilday…. Hotel very clean, yes had a lovely time but ultra inclusive some places you you had to pay for food & drink very confusing, Buffett was nice many different dishes but I’ve Crohn’s disease and lots of the dishes had vegetables in them, the pools where cleaned life guard at the pools where very friendly & excellent at there job,seen two little girls struggling in the water no parents about straight in the life guard went had them out in seconds, disgrace for parents. Bar staff very nice but took a bit of time to get a drink we used the outside area at the lobby bar very relaxing and had a lovely waiter called Ahmed so friendly and lovely to speak to Ahmed made our holiday.a la cartes where very nice the Bahrain grill was beautiful the sea food platter was worth the money. Nightclub needs to be advertised as there’s great music but drinks expensive, Deano the DJ was really nice guy….. the hotel was full of Russians we were the only Irish couple and we found the quest quite rude no manners .. yes we did enjoy our stay yes I hope to be back. Thank you Ahmed for being so nice you made our stay enjoyable. Hope to come back again

Small crowded beach, poorly organised, not enough sunbeds. No minibar in room. No bottled water. All wine australian bag-in box No icecream over 12 years old, no alcohol under 21, just adult tariffs No canned soda or fizzy drinks allowed, but beer yes (on the beach, not at lunch or dinner ?) Skimming drinks everytime, everything is 'double`40 - 45 ml instead of 60 ml Three quarters rude tourists, towels everywhere but less then third really occupied Asked to stand up and listen to russian anthem at night comedy show ?! Arrogant desk personnel (with two exceptions) Squeeze maximum profit from late arrival and late departure, no empathy Practically no difference between all-inclusive and ultra all-inclusive, money down the drain Room number, name spelled and signature everytime you need something, hence queues. Far too expensive for services rendered and lots of bizzare rules

10/10 experience! There was seriously nothing you could complain about. The food was EXCELLENT - like nothing I’ve ever experienced (if you like Arabic and Indian food, this is heaven for you). Everything was in order and nicely cleaned - the beach, the sun beds, the rooms. Staff were very polite and welcoming! If you don’t mind traveling extra 2 hours from Dubai, then I should really consider this hotel.
