About this hotel
Families basing themselves at the Royal Continental Hotel for a slides-packed break will find a comfortable retreat in Dubai's Deira district.

After a day of thrilling slides and splash zones, the family suites provide ample space for everyone to unwind. Parents can enjoy the spa and wellness facilities, while kids might appreciate a game of table tennis. The hotel's location near Deira City Centre Shopping Mall means easy access to dining and entertainment options after a day at the water park.

Our take
Royal Continental Hotel is a modern four-star in Deira with family suites, a spa, an on-site restaurant and free private parking, rated 8.9 from 2,537 reviews. Wild Wadi is across the city in Jumeirah, next to the Burj Al Arab, so treat the water park as a day trip by car. I would choose it for families who want to combine the slides with the souks, malls and older districts of Dubai.
- ✓Book your Wild Wadi Water Park tickets in advance, especially during peak season, to secure your entry and avoid long queues.
- ✓Consider using ride-sharing services or taxis for convenient travel to Wild Wadi Water Park, as it's not within walking distance.
- ✓If you're traveling with a larger family, secure one of the family suites early, as they tend to book up quickly during school holidays.

Why guests love itRoyal Continental Hotel in Deira cost noticeably less than the beachfront names on this list, and the family suite still gave us enough space for a cot without anyone tripping over it. The spa was a small one, not a full wellness centre, but it did the job for a single evening treatment while my husband put the kids to bed. Free private parking meant the longer cross-city drive to Wild Wadi never felt like an extra expense on top of the room rate.
