Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai
Centara Mirage is a four-star family beach resort on Dubai Islands, a man-made stretch of waterfront off the Deira coast in the northeast of Dubai, facing the Arabian Gulf. It opened in 2021 as the first UAE resort from Centara, a Thai hotel group, and its 607 rooms are built around a large waterpark with a private beach in front. Families come for the waterpark, the bunk-bed rooms, four kids clubs and an all-inclusive plan that covers the meals and drinks.

Is it worth it?
The quick read before the detail: who it suits, what the board plans cover and the facts to weigh first.
Centara Mirage opened on 14 October 2021 as Centara's first resort in the UAE, a joint venture with Nakheel, the developer of Dubai Islands. It is built for families around water: 607 rooms wrapped around a waterpark with beachfront pools, waterslides, a lazy river, a leisure infinity pool and a shaded toddler splash pad, with a private beach in front. It suits families who want to settle in and let the resort fill the days, because Dubai Islands is a quiet, still-developing corner of the city with little to walk to. The all-inclusive plan makes more sense here than it does in a lot of places, because eating out in Dubai is expensive, so a plan that caps the food and drink is one of the better-value choices for a family in the city.
Best for
You want a self-contained holiday with everything on site: a big waterpark, bunk-bed family rooms, kids clubs and an all-inclusive plan that holds the spend down.
Maybe not for
You want a walkable district of shops and restaurants on the doorstep, or a fine natural-sand beach; this beach is man-made and shelly, and there is little to walk to.
Best ages
The bunk beds are a hit with children around 3 to 10, the splash pad suits toddlers and there are clubs for tweens and teens. The leisure infinity pool is for ages 14 and over.
What stands out
The on-site waterpark, the Build-A-Bear rooms and workshop, the Mirage Family Lounge for parents and all-inclusive value in an expensive city.
What to check
Sea view against city view, standard all-inclusive against Premium Mirage, the kids club three-hour daily cap and the early-morning rush for pool sunbeds.
Where is it?
On Dubai Islands off the Deira coast in northeast Dubai, facing the Arabian Gulf, about 25 to 30 minutes from Dubai International.
Quick facts for families
What the resort is like
Where it sits, how the site is laid out and what that means day to day with young children.
Centara Mirage sits on Dubai Islands, formerly known as Deira Islands, a man-made archipelago off the Deira coast in the northeast of Dubai that the developer Nakheel is still building out. It is an unhurried, secluded corner of the city rather than a lively resort strip, and there is no walkable high street or seafront promenade of shops and restaurants, so the resort is designed as a holiday you rarely need to leave. There is no metro station near Dubai Islands either, so any day out means a taxi or a ride-hailing app such as Careem, the Middle Eastern equivalent of Uber. For the wider city, its areas and its seasons, see our Dubai guide for families.
The 607 rooms are built around the water, with the pools and the waterpark between the rooms and the private beach on the Arabian Gulf. Centara describes the resort as home to one of Dubai's most expansive waterparks, and its water runs from the beachfront family pools to the waterslides, the leisure infinity pool, the lazy river and the shaded toddler splash pad, so it is the heart of the place. Officially the property is a four-star resort, in the mid-tier of Centara's range.
One thing to know when you pick a room: the building faces north. The main family pool gets sun for most of the day before some of it slips into shade in the late afternoon, and the lazy river and slides sit in shade from around midday in the winter months. In the summer heat that shade is welcome. From November to March it means the warmest sunbathing in the waterpark is a morning affair, though the pools are temperature-controlled so the water stays usable either way.
Board and meal plans
The board options, what the all-inclusive plans actually cover and how children are charged.
The resort sells five named board plans, from room only up to Premium Mirage all-inclusive, plus breakfast as an add-on. The two that matter most for families are the all-inclusive plans, which cover the food and drink in a city where paying as you go quickly adds up.
| Plan | What it includes |
|---|---|
| Room only | No meals. |
| Bed and breakfast | Breakfast added to a room-only rate. It is offered as an add-on rather than one of the five named plans. |
| Half board | Breakfast at Suan Bua or Sheesh and dinner in Suan Bua, with set-menu access to the specialty restaurants. Drinks cost extra, and lunch can be added on request. |
| Full board | Breakfast, lunch and dinner in Suan Bua plus the same set-menu access to the specialty restaurants. Drinks cost extra. |
| All inclusive | All meals plus alcoholic and soft drinks at the included venues during opening hours, the ice cream hut, 15% off the spa and 10% off watersports. |
| Premium Mirage All Inclusive | Everything in all inclusive plus the Mirage Family Lounge (breakfast, afternoon tea and evening cocktails), 30% off the spa, 15% off watersports and the indoor Mirage playground. |
The catch to know on an all-inclusive plan is that the specialty restaurants, Uno Mas, Sheesh and Sands, are on a set menu rather than the full a la carte when you are on all-inclusive. Uno Mas in particular has a notably limited set menu, and eating from its full a la carte costs extra. Reviewers who wanted the Argentinian grill at its best paid the supplement to do so.
Children up to 12 stay free when they share a room with a paying adult, using the existing bedding, on a room-only rate. On the meals, under-sixes eat free, and children aged 6 to 12 get complimentary breakfast and half-price meals, so on a board or all-inclusive plan you are mostly paying for the adults.
Every restaurant and bar
There are four restaurants, three bars and cafes, a family lounge for Mirage guests and round-the-clock room service. The main all-inclusive dining happens at the buffet, with the other three restaurants adding some variety across the week.
Suan Bua is the Thai buffet and the main all-inclusive restaurant, and it serves breakfast too. It has a children's buffet section with dishes aimed at younger diners, and the curries and Thai food draw consistent praise. Breakfast runs 07:00 to 10:30, lunch 12:30 to 15:00 and dinner 18:30 to 22:30. It is walk-in, and it gets very busy at dinner, so arriving before 18:30 saves a queue.
Sheesh is a rooftop Lebanese and Arabian fusion buffet with a shisha lounge, shisha being the water-pipe tobacco smoking common across the region. The sea-view terrace is turned into an Arabian tent through the summer for shade. There are children's menus, and it is a set menu on all-inclusive. Breakfast is 08:30 to 11:00, dinner 18:30 to 22:30 and the shisha lounge 16:00 to 23:30.
Sands is the beach and poolside restaurant, doing fresh seafood, grill and wood-fired pizza, with children's menus and a walk-in policy. There is a live DJ from Tuesday to Saturday and a belly-dance performance on Mondays. Breakfast is 08:00 to 10:30, lunch 12:00 to 15:00 and dinner 18:30 to 22:30. It sits below the Camp Safari kids club, and it is a set menu on all-inclusive.
Uno Mas is the Argentinian charcoal grill, with a wine cellar and a more grown-up feel, on the ground floor next to the spa. Children's menus are available. It is the one restaurant you must book, at least 24 hours ahead through the hotel app or at reception. Lunch is 12:30 to 15:00 and dinner 18:00 to 22:30, and it is the restricted set menu on all-inclusive, with the full a la carte for an extra charge.
For drinks and lighter bites, Waves Beach Bar does cocktails and beach drinks (bar 10:30 to 23:00, and The Deck 17:30 to 23:00 for sunset), Vistas Lobby Bar serves coffee, teas, detox water and light lobby bites, staffed by lifestyle hosts on the lobby level, and Zing is a takeaway coffee and cafe counter on the ground floor, open 11:00 to 18:00. There is an ice cream hut near the Sands beach club, included for all-inclusive and Premium guests, and in-room dining runs 24 hours.
The Mirage Family Lounge is open only to guests in a Mirage room category or on the Premium Mirage plan. It is a lounge with an indoor, underwater-themed playground alongside, so parents can eat and drink while children play in the same room. The lounge is open 06:30 to 01:00, with breakfast 06:30 to 11:00, afternoon tea 15:00 to 16:30 and evening cocktails 17:30 to 19:00. The dress code is casual, with no swimwear.
How booking works
Only Uno Mas needs a reservation, made at least 24 hours ahead through the hotel app or at reception. Suan Bua, Sheesh and Sands are all walk-in. If you are on an all-inclusive plan, the three specialty restaurants serve a set menu rather than the full a la carte, so factor that in when you decide whether to pay the supplement at Uno Mas.
Pools and the waterpark
Every pool and water feature, then the beach in front and every room and suite behind.
The water is the reason most families come, and it is spread across several distinct features rather than one big pool. Here is each one, and who it suits.
The main family pool is a large lagoon-shaped pool open to all ages, heated so the water stays comfortable. It gets sun for most of the day, then partial shade from around 16:00 as the building's shadow moves across it. The sunbeds around it fill early: keen guests are out laying towels from 08:00 when the outdoor area opens, which is the most common practical gripe here.
The beachfront activity pool carries a long line of water inflatables, a floating obstacle course to work along. It also has a rope-climbing structure with a height limit, around 140 cm, so check the marker on the day. The three waterslides run over their own plunge pool and have a height limit of around 100 cm, with no riding on an adult's lap, so check the marker there too.
The leisure infinity pool is 10 m by 40 m and 1.4 m deep, kept at 28 to 30°C, and it is for ages 14 and over, so it is a spot for teenagers and adults rather than a family pool. It is open 08:00 to 20:00. The lazy river circles the waterpark with single and double floats and waterfall features, and it is temperature-controlled; part of it falls into shade from midday in winter, as above.
The children's splash pad is shaded and very shallow, only a few inches of water, with a mini slide, fountain spouts, a misty tunnel and water guns. It has no minimum age and is the most toddler-friendly water feature on site. Unlike the pools it is not temperature-controlled, so it can feel cool on a winter morning. There is also a bouncy castle, which guests report has a minimum age of 2.
A few rules apply across all the water. Children under 12 must have an adult with them at the pools, waterpark and beach. Life jackets and floats are provided. Swim diapers, not ordinary nappies, are required for babies and toddlers in the water, so bring a supply or buy them locally. Towels are collected on a Towel Card given at check-in and returned when you leave the area.
The beach
The resort has its own private beach, reached straight from the grounds, as part of the Dubai Islands waterfront. It is wide and long and holds the sun for most of the day until sunset, and the sea shelves in gently and gradually, which is what you want with toddlers wading at the edge. Because it is a man-made island beach, the sand contains broken shells and is not the fine powdery sand of the older Jumeirah beaches, so swim socks or water sandals are worth packing for small feet. Dubai Islands beaches are not on the Blue Flag register; no UAE beaches currently are, so this is a status rather than a mark against the resort.
Water sports run from the beach, including jet skis, kayaking, paddleboarding and pedal boats. The whole outdoor area, pools and beach, opens at 08:00 and closes at sunset, after which an outdoor cinema runs on the beach.
Rooms and suites
There are two tiers of room. The standard Superior and Family rooms sleep on king or double beds; the Mirage rooms and suites add bunk beds, which children take to, and access to the Mirage Family Lounge if you are also on the Premium plan. The table below is the full line-up with the official sizes; the guidance after it is which suit a family with a baby or toddler.
| Room | Size | Beds and who it sleeps | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| Superior Room King | 32 to 36 m² | 1 king, up to 2 adults | City, over Dubai Islands |
| Superior Room Sea View King | 32 to 36 m² | 1 king, up to 2 adults | Arabian Gulf |
| Superior Room Panoramic Sea View King | 32 to 36 m² | 1 king, up to 2 adults | Arabian Gulf, beachfront |
| Family Room Double Double | 36 m² | 2 doubles, 2 adults + 2 children | City, over Dubai Islands |
| Family Room Sea View Double Double | 36 m² | 2 doubles, 2 adults + 2 children | Arabian Gulf |
| Family Room Panoramic Sea View Double Double | 36 m² | 2 doubles, 2 adults + 2 children | Arabian Gulf |
| Mirage Superior Room with Bunk Beds | 41 m² | 1 king plus bunk beds | City, over Dubai Islands |
| Mirage Superior Room Sea View with Bunk Beds | 41 m² | 1 king plus bunk beds | Arabian Gulf |
| Mirage Superior Room Panoramic Sea View with Bunk Beds | 41 m² | 1 king plus bunk beds | Arabian Gulf |
| Mirage Family Room with Bunk Beds | 41 m² | 2 doubles plus bunk beds, up to 3 adults or 2 adults + 4 children | City, over Dubai Islands |
| Mirage Family Room Sea View with Bunk Beds | 41 m² | 2 doubles plus bunk beds, up to 3 adults or 2 adults + 4 children | Arabian Gulf |
| Mirage Family Room Panoramic Sea View with Bunk Beds | 41 m² | 2 doubles plus bunk beds, up to 3 adults or 2 adults + 4 children | Arabian Gulf |
| Mirage Junior Suite with Bunk Beds | 50 m² | 1 king plus bunk beds, separate suite area | City, over Dubai Islands |
| Mirage Junior Suite Sea View, Build-A-Bear Edition | 50 m² | 1 king plus bunk beds, themed with a Build-A-Bear skin | Arabian Gulf |
| Mirage Two Bedroom Suite Panoramic Sea View | 95 m² | Two-bedroom layout, the largest unit | Arabian Gulf |
For a family of two adults and two young children, the Mirage rooms at 41 m² are the ones to look at first: the extra floor space over the 32 to 36 m² standard rooms matters once a cot and an active toddler share the room, and the bunk beds settle where children sleep. A standard room of 32 to 36 m² is tight once you add a cot. The Mirage Family Room is the roomiest standard category, with two doubles and bunk beds sleeping up to two adults and four children.
Views are worth thinking about. City-facing rooms look over parts of Dubai Islands that are still under construction, so reviewers consistently recommend paying up for a sea view if the outlook matters to you. The official site names the Superior Room Panoramic Sea View King, in the beachfront building, as the room with the best sunsets. The Build-A-Bear Edition Junior Suite is a themed sea-view room that comes with a bear skin for the on-site Build-A-Bear workshop, which is a real draw for younger children.
Every room has air conditioning, a private bathroom, satellite TV, free Wi-Fi, a hairdryer, a minibar, a safe, tea and coffee making and a balcony or terrace. The standard and Mirage rooms are shower only, with no bathtub, which is worth knowing if you bath a baby: a baby bath is not standard in the rooms, so ask the front desk if you need one. Cots are available on request, subject to availability, and may be chargeable rather than automatically in the room price. The official listings do not include interconnecting rooms, so if you need two rooms that link, check directly with the resort before booking.
Babies and toddlers
The four kids clubs, the honest baby picture, then everything else that fills a family day and the days out beyond the gate.
The resort is built with families as its main audience, and it runs four kids clubs by age band. Camp Safari, for ages 3 to 9, is the main one, on Level 1 of the Sands beach club building, with crafts, scavenger hunts, a movie corner and evening discos. It is free to guests and open 10:00 to 20:00, with one important limit: a maximum of three hours per child per day. That cap is worth planning around if you were counting on the club for a longer break.
E-Zone, for ages 10 to 16, has arcade games, air hockey, a PlayStation and a movie corner, open 09:00 to 21:00. The Virtual Sports Zone, for ages 10 and over, has interactive football, golf and basketball and a foosball table, open 11:00 to 22:00. The fourth club is the indoor playground in the Mirage Family Lounge, for ages 3 to 12, open only to Mirage-category and Premium Mirage guests, with wall climbing, slides and games on an underwater theme, open 07:00 to 21:00.
There is no dedicated crèche for the under-threes, and a child under 3 must have a parent or guardian with them at the clubs. For very young children the shaded splash pad is the most useful water feature, shallow and purpose-built for toddlers.
On the baby kit, swim diapers are required in the pools, and cots are available on request and may cost extra. High chairs are available, which fits the children's buffet and the children's menus. Baby milk can be requested from the hotel. Babysitting is available for an extra charge, so arrange it with the hotel when you book.
Beyond the waterThings to do
Away from the pools, the headline draw for younger children is the on-site Build-A-Bear workshop on the ground floor, where children stuff and customise their own bear; the themed Junior Suite comes with a bear skin to use there. The Candy Kids Spa, part of SPA Cenvaree, is a children's spa for ages 10 and under, doing edible treatments, manicures, pedicures and parties. It runs a four-hour cancellation policy, and all-inclusive guests get 15% off with Premium Mirage guests 30%.
For adults, SPA Cenvaree is open 09:00 to 22:00, with couple and Thai massage rooms, a herbal steam room, sauna, hot and cold plunge pools and a relaxation lounge. Signature Thai treatments include Tok Sen wooden-hammer therapy, the salt-pot muscle melter and the part-massage, part-stretch Thai Warrior. The fitness centre is fully equipped, for ages 16 and over, with exercise clothes and shoes required, and runs yoga and aquarobics.
The waterpark area also has a cliff-jumping platform. A daily activity programme covers all ages, with beach volleyball, movies, aquarobics, yoga and live shows, and the resort publishes it monthly, so it is worth checking the current programme when you book and again on arrival. The outdoor cinema, a film on the beach after dark, comes up again and again as a hit with young children.
Out and aboutThe area and days out
The resort is designed to keep you on site, and many families with young children will barely leave, but there is plenty within a short drive when you want it. On Dubai Islands itself, Souk Al Marfa and the Waterfront Market are the nearest points of interest, a traditional-style waterfront souk and a fresh produce and seafood market.
Old Dubai and Deira are about 15 to 25 minutes away, with the Gold Souk, the Spice Souk, the traditional abra water taxis that cross Dubai Creek, the Dubai Dolphinarium and Al Mamzar Beach Park. Wider Dubai is roughly 25 minutes: Downtown Dubai with the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Fountain, the Dubai Mall and the Dubai Aquarium, plus the Dubai Frame and Dubai Museum. Global Village, the seasonal cultural and entertainment park that usually runs from about October to April, is around 30 minutes and a family favourite, and The Beach at JBR and Dubai Marina are about 35 minutes. A desert safari, the classic Dubai day out, is arranged through operators who collect from hotels, with the desert roughly an hour away.
Loves and gripes
What families rate and what frustrates them, how it compares with the alternatives, the journey in and the weather by month.
We have not stayed, so this is drawn from a wide read of guest reviews and family-travel write-ups. It rates well: around 8.4 out of 10 on Booking.com from more than 8,000 guests, with facilities and staff each on 8.8 and cleanliness on 8.7, against softer sub-scores of 8.2 for location and 8.0 for value. TripAdvisor sits at roughly four out of five, and the smaller review site beachresort.net rates it 8.8 out of 10. What follows is the pattern that comes through most consistently.
What families rate
- Friendly, attentive staff, singled out in review after review.
- The children's pool and the shaded toddler splash area.
- The bunk-bed rooms, a hit with younger children.
- All-inclusive value, a real saving on Dubai dining.
- The outdoor cinema on the beach.
- The Build-A-Bear rooms and workshop.
- The Mirage Family Lounge for parents of young children.
- Clean rooms and an international mix of guests.
Common gripes
- Sunbeds at the family pool going early, with towels laid from 08:00.
- The north-facing building putting the lazy river and slides in shade from midday in winter, though it is welcome shade in summer.
- The limited all-inclusive set menu at Uno Mas against its a la carte.
- The beach sand, shelly rather than fine, so water shoes help.
- The kids club three-hour daily cap.
- No bathtub in the standard and Mirage rooms.
- Occasional mentions of aircraft noise from the airport flight paths, and of slower service at the busiest times.
How it compares
The obvious comparison is Atlantis, The Palm, which is larger and more premium, with the vast Aquaventure waterpark and the Lost Chambers Aquarium included and a glamorous Palm Jumeirah address. Centara Mirage is materially cheaper, with a smaller waterpark of its own and a less-premium, quieter location, and it delivers a comparable family experience for less money. Rixos The Palm is the other all-inclusive resort with a waterpark on the shortlist, more established and better located on the Palm; Centara Mirage is the budget-friendlier all-inclusive option out on Dubai Islands. Jumeirah Beach Hotel is a higher category with free access to the Wild Wadi waterpark next door, at a higher price than Centara Mirage, which has its own waterpark on site.
Across the shortlist, Centara Mirage is one of the more affordable ways to pair all-inclusive with a waterpark on site.
From the airport, and when to goGetting there and when to go
Most UK flights land at Dubai International (DXB), about 6.5 to 7 hours direct from most UK airports, with Emirates, British Airways, flydubai and easyJet among the carriers. The resort is about 25 to 30 minutes and roughly 16 km from DXB. A taxi, a ride-hailing app or a pre-booked private transfer is the way in; pre-book if you are landing late or travelling with young children so a car is waiting.
Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is at 12:00, and there is a day lounge with changing rooms and showers for early arrivals or a wait after checkout. A refundable damage deposit of AED 500, the local dirham, is taken on arrival by cash or card and returned after a room check when you leave, with card refunds sometimes taking up to 14 working days and always returned in dirhams. No minimum stay is advertised, though a minimum could still apply on peak dates, so check your dates when you book. There is on-site parking, and the resort is open all year with no seasonal closure.
The most comfortable window for families is November to March, when daytime highs sit around 25 to 31°C, evenings are cooler and there is very little rain, with the sea at 22 to 28°C. Year-round sun protection is essential.
Month by monthWeather
Dubai has a hot desert climate, with hot summers, warm winters and very little rain. The sea is warmest from July to September, around 33°C, but the air is extreme then, 39 to 41°C, which is a lot for young children to be out in the sun. Sunshine is reliable all year, from around 8 hours a day in midwinter to close to 12 in May. In summer the resort still works: the waterpark stays open, the pools are temperature-controlled, the shade is welcome rather than a drawback, the kids clubs are indoors, the restaurants are air-conditioned and prices are lower with fewer crowds. The table below shows typical monthly figures.
| Month | Daytime high | Overnight low | Rain | Wet days | Sea temp |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| January | 24.5° | 15° | 22 mm | 2 | 22° |
| February | 26.5° | 17° | 6 mm | 1 | 22° |
| March | 29° | 19° | 9 mm | 1 | 23° |
| April | 34° | 22° | 3 mm | 1 | 26° |
| May | 38.5° | 26° | 0 mm | 0 | 29° |
| June | 40.5° | 28.5° | 0 mm | 0 | 33° |
| July | 41.5° | 31° | 0 mm | 0 | 34° |
| August | 42° | 31.5° | 7 mm | 0 | 34° |
| September | 39.5° | 29° | 0 mm | 0 | 34° |
| October | 36° | 25.5° | 0 mm | 0 | 32° |
| November | 31° | 21.5° | 8 mm | 1 | 29° |
| December | 26.5° | 17.5° | 17 mm | 2 | 25° |
Typical monthly averages from weather-station records. Sea temperature is the open-water figure, so a sheltered bay can feel a degree or two warmer. The resort is open year round.
Supplies, health and practicalities
There is no supermarket or pharmacy within walking distance on Dubai Islands. The nearest big supermarkets, Carrefour, Spinneys and LuLu, are about 15 minutes away by taxi and stock the UK-familiar baby basics: nappies, formula, baby food and a Calpol equivalent. For healthcare, Dubai Hospital and Aster Hospital Deira are about 15 minutes away, and travel and medical insurance is essential for the UAE.
UK passport holders get a free visitor visa on arrival, valid for up to 90 days within any 180-day period, with no application needed in advance, and your passport needs to be valid for at least six months from the day you arrive. Alcohol is licensed and served at the resort. Public decency standards are conservative across the UAE, so cover up when you are out and about beyond the resort. Check the current Foreign Office UAE advice, linked at the top of this page, before you book and again before you fly.
Questions
The things families ask most, the official pages worth a bookmark and when this guide was last refreshed.
How do we get to the resort from the airport?
You arrange your own way in from Dubai International, about 25 to 30 minutes away. A metered RTA taxi from the airport rank is the simplest option, or use a ride-hailing app such as Careem or Uber. Landing late or travelling with young children, book a private transfer ahead so a car is waiting rather than joining the taxi queue.
Can teenagers and adults use the leisure infinity pool?
Yes, but it is for ages 14 and over, so younger children can't swim in it. They are well covered elsewhere though: the main family pool takes all ages, and there is the shaded toddler splash pad, the lazy river and the waterslides.
Can we get a babysitter for an evening out?
Yes, for an extra charge, so arrange it with the hotel when you book rather than on the night. The kids clubs don't run late enough for a full evening out: Camp Safari has a three-hour daily cap and closes at 20:00, so a babysitter is the way to a dinner without the children.
Which board plan makes sense with young children?
For most families it comes down to the two all-inclusive plans, since children's meals are already heavily discounted and paying as you go in Dubai adds up. The real choice is standard all-inclusive against Premium Mirage: Premium adds the family lounge, with its own breakfast, afternoon tea and evening cocktails, along with bigger spa discounts and the indoor playground. If you will use the lounge, the step up usually pays; if not, standard all-inclusive already covers the meals and drinks.
Can we book interconnecting rooms?
The official room listings don't include interconnecting rooms, so don't count on them. If you need more space in one room, the Mirage Family Rooms sleep up to two adults and four children with two doubles and bunk beds; if you specifically want two linked rooms, ask the resort directly before you book.
Is there a minimum stay?
No minimum stay is advertised, so a short three or four night break should be fine to book. Peak dates can still carry a minimum, so check your exact nights when you book.
