Our take
A private beachfront on Bluewaters Island, expansive pools and a spa make Banyan Tree Dubai at Bluewaters a calm, high-end base for families who treat Wild Wadi as a separate day out. The family suites give everyone room, and young children have quiet pools and sand to fall back on between excursions. Park access is not part of the stay, so I would plan each water park day on its own and use the resort for the slower afternoons.
- ✓Book your family suite well in advance, especially during peak school holidays, to secure the best rates and availability for a spacious stay.
- ✓Plan your Wild Wadi Water Park visit separately, checking opening times and booking tickets ahead to avoid queues and ensure a smooth day out.
- ✓Consider the resort's location on Bluewaters Island for its tranquility, but factor in travel time to other Dubai attractions and water parks.

Why guests love itBluewaters Island turned out to be the find of the trip: our balcony looked straight out over the water, and the private beach meant we could send the kids down for a swim without the usual sunbed scramble. Getting to Wild Wadi took about twenty minutes each way. The spa treatment I booked while my husband took the kids to the pool was the first hour to myself in a week, and Banyan Tree's scale meant it never felt crowded.
