This is the first of the Centara resorts in the UAE, and they’ve pulled out all the stops to create the ultimate family themed family resort to make your dream holiday come true. Inspired by mythical Thai and magical Arabian adventures, everything has been taken into consideration when it comes to suiting family trips, with interconnecting rooms and bunk beds available for all family sizes, and there’s even a childrens spa to sit alongside the adults one, so they can have their fair share of pampering too – after all, it’s tiring going down the water slides all day long! If you want to add that extra touch to your stay, upgrade to a Mirage room for access to the Family club lounge, complete with family-friendly check-in and a kids’ play area. It will be hard to pull them away from the adventure water park for food though, complete with water slides, high ropes, and a lazy river – it’s unlikely you’ll see much of them in the day, especially with the E-zone too. If this is the case, sneak away to the rooftop bar and enjoy a sundowner cocktail or a spot of shisha before dinner, overlooking the Arabian gulf.

We are fully aware that this is a family hotel and you have to deal with kids. Most rooms are connected by a door to make this an easier experience. Not if you have this door between you and another family who keeps you awake the first two night. We swapped rooms the morning after by very nice accommodating staff. After two nights of good sleep we had other very loud neighbours. It’s or the walls are very thin or people have no clue that they share this building. Hoping it will ease after 11PM the noice become even worse. If you come here to sleep, I advise you not to stay here. It’s my last night here and I can’t wait to sleep in my own bed again. It’s midnight, the neighbours are having a party and my upper neighbour is doing a marathon with steel shoes. From 5 nights we unfortunately only slept 2.
