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.
