It’s pool season in Dubai now, isn’t it?

There’s a handful of hotels in Dubai that has their own waterslides. These are a few of the ones that we have been and our thoughts on it 😉 Just in case you wanted to plan a pool and beach day with the little ones, or otherwise pay more for a staycation.

Sofitel Dubai the Palm

There are a number of other smaller pools away from the main family pool.

One of them, next to Sinbad’s Kids Clubs has two high slides. Take note that the water depth in there is properly deep – around 2m. So if you are going down with your little one, make sure you “throw them” when you both hit the water, otherwise you’ll end up holding them up high and you’re left drinking lots of water.

• Location : Separate pool located closer to the beach, a short trek away from the main pool
• Shade : Slides – not shaded.
• Note : Deep enough for adults to swim around in and chill. Too deep for toddlers, they’ll need to know how to waddle around with floats

Al Habtoor Grand Resort, Autograph Collection

You’ll find the kid’s pool next to the main pool.

It’s shallow enough for toddlers to walk and swim in there by themselves. There are two slides there, the lower one – your under 5s could go unaccompanied. The higher one is more so for big kids, so if you want to go with your toddler, by all means, go.

• Location : Kids’ Pool, right next to the adult pool
• Shade : No shade by Kids’ Pool

Arabian Courts, One&Only Royal Mirage Dubai

There’s one small slide by the main Arabian Court pool. It’ll keep the toddlers entertained for a little bit if they don’t mind going again, and again 😉

• Location : At the Arabian Court Pool
• Shade : Slides – not shaded

Jungle Bay, Westin Mina Seyahi Dubai

There’s a teeny tiny one by the toddler’s pool, which is shaded. Fun for say, an 18 month old to 2 year old. Anything more, they’re not going to move much.

Pop over to Jungle Bay and you’ve got everything else 😉

• Location : Jungle Bay is a separate waterpark accessible to guests of Le Meridien, Westin & W Mina Seyahi
• Shade : Slides are mostly not shaded, although some of the ones on the side has slight shade from the overhanging tree branches.

Jumeirah Zabeel Saray Dubai

By Sinbad’s Kids Club, you’ll find 3 slides the toddlers would love.

It’s quite a cute setup, the slides come down a blue whale. It’s a short trek from the main pool so if the kids want to use it and need your supervision, you’ll have to pull up a sunbed and watch them. There really isn’t a deep enough pool there for you to ‘stay cool’, unless you lay horizontal or be an alligator in the kid’s pool.

• Location : Away from the main pool, by Sinbad’s Kids Club
• Shade : Slides – not shaded.
