Mirage Hotel Al Aqah

Though the location is a small walk to the beach, it's real value for money. Clean and tidy hotel with a nice roof top pool. We had an enjoyable stay.

It is a basic and reasonably priced hotel compared to nearby resort options. It is stated as 3.5 stars but I would have guessed 2.5. Check-in process was slow as they could not find the reservation. Receptionists are not rude but lacked any sense of customer service. Room is large with furnitures that feels a bit old and worn. Bed was large and had nice and fresh bedlinen. If your room is towards the street you will need earplugs. My suggestion for improvement includes looking the customer in the eyes and greet them as they approach the desk. It is a free and goes a long way to start a mutually friendly conversation. If there is any investment available to the property, consider sound proofing the windows towards the street. In the meantime, consider adding earplugs among the amenities.

We can really recommend staying there. If you go by car to Sandy Beach it’s the perfect place. Everyone was really nice and they gave us a quiet room. It was a twin room but they joined the beds and we did not notice the difference, was worth the good night’s sleep. No carpet on the floor and a/c at 17 when we arrived let us shiver a little. Room is big and bathroom has a nice shower but water comes though a gap in the shower cabin and wets the floor. We got additional towels when we asked for them. Breakfast is quite vegan friendly we have eaten less well in 5* hotels. Would definitely go back.

Room was really noisy because of the A/C in the room but also because of the Ac machine outside the window. When I called the reception to know if they didn’t have another room, they sent me the cleaner who was really rude and make me feel that there was no noise

I stayed here on a Saturday night after a day pass at nearby Snoopy Beach, intending to go back on the next day, butinstead went North to Turtle Beach and beyond on an exploratory drive to Dibba before returning to Dubai. At tbhis hotel, I had a great night's sleep. The room was large and clean and quiet and furnished with a desk and the bathroom was clean and modern. The bed was very comfortable. So, I would be glad to highly recommend this place as a very nice place to sleep the night while engaged in tourism from the big city. Thgere were restaurants nearby which I did not go to. I did not look at the pool as that was not why I was there. There could be no competition with the very nice beach resorts nearby, and that's not the point of this place. The reception people were very nice and competent. Overall, a very pleasant place for a night.
