TL;DR
UAE hotels are quiet in summer: pools and beaches are nearly empty on weekdays, beach bars often close, and it only gets busy on weekends when locals show up.
What the community said
The beach itself is nearly empty — most guests stick to the pool area. The hotel isn't fully booked, and on Mondays it's almost deserted.

The beach bar is likely closed on weekdays simply because there aren't enough guests around.

The hotel really comes alive only on weekends, when local residents show up and restaurants/pools get busy. On weekdays everything feels shut down, leaving the sea as the main option for swimming.

During the day the hotel is nearly empty: only about 7-10 people are in the sea or pools at a time, with sunbeds and bars mostly free.
