My husband and I rested in the UAE for the second time, last year we were at the same time, but I liked it more at the Jal Fujairah Resort & Spa 5 * hotel.
MIRAMAR is also not a bad hotel, for a quiet family holiday, the area is clean, green, the beach with palm trees, the sunbeds are good, not broken, the ocean is clean, no fuel oil floats in it, as was written in previous reviews.
The pool is clean, cool, the water did not stink. I want to warn tourists, now Muslims have post-ROMADAN, from 01/08-31/08 all cafes are closed, there is no entertainment, they do not sell alcohol, except at the airport. We left on 02/08 in the pool, even drained the water, so you have to swim in the warm ocean with a temperature of +34/+36C, there is nowhere to cool, except in an air-conditioned room.

The food is delicious, the breakfasts are very monotonous, the dinner is varied and tasty, they often give mussels, squids, red fish, pork, lamb, pastries are delicious. Drinks at dinner are unreasonably expensive, for a small kettle with boiling water and two tea bags you will pay $ 6.11, and for 0.5 liters. Heineken about $ 8.77, the wine is not bad, you can drink. We didn't smoke hookah so I can't say anything about it.
The rooms are spacious, old furniture, but all made of wood, a good TV with 4 or 3 Russian channels, they clean well, or maybe we were just lucky for the cleaners, sometimes they put chocolates on the pillows, they change the bed every day, if desired, The room has an ironing board and iron.
From the hotel for free, 2 times a week there is a bus to Dubai, you just need to sign up for the reception. Internet is expensive and paid, although they wrote that it is free in the Lobby bar. If you do not speak English well or do not speak English at all, then you will quickly find our Russian-speaking Katya, she will solve all your problems.
In Dibba there is a Lu-lu supermarket, a so-so supermarket, but if you need to leave, a taxi will cost 50 dirhams, ($ 14), but you can negotiate for 40.
Summing up, I want to say that you can visit the UAE 1 time, but either before July 31 or after August 31, when there are no religious holidays. If you chose this hotel, I think you will not regret it, so I wish you all a pleasant stay!! !
