Rixos does something unusual in Dubai: a proper all-inclusive option, which changes the maths completely in a city where a family lunch out adds up frighteningly fast. It sits on The Walk at JBR, so you step out of the lobby onto a promenade of restaurants and shops, with a well-kept public beach in front and Ain Dubai lit up across the water. The kids club runs a full daily programme and the entertainment team has that Turkish-resort energy, which children love and some parents find loud. Rooms are modern, the food choice is wide, and there is always something plain for a cautious eater. Not the quietest address on this list, but one of the easiest to budget for.
Our verdict
The pick if you want Dubai without doing sums at every meal. Loud, cheerful and about as convenient as the city gets.
The rooms
Contemporary rooms and suites in a tower on The Walk, most with sea or marina views, and family formats that take four without folding anyone onto a sofa. Suites add a separate living area, which is how you get your evenings back once the children are asleep.

Family things to do nearby
Bluewaters and Ain Dubai
Cross the footbridge to Bluewaters Island for the giant wheel, an easy evening stroll straight from the hotel.
Morning on JBR beach
Soft sand, calm water and a shaded playground on the promenade for when the sun gets serious.
Boat ride from Dubai Marina
Small tour boats leave from the marina ten minutes away, a good short outing that does not need booking days ahead.
Is it right for your kids?
Baby
0 to 1 yr
Cots and high chairs are standard and the promenade is flat and pushchair friendly, but the volume around the pool is not restful.
Toddler
1 to 3 yrs
Shallow pool areas and a short walk to the sand work well, just keep sun cover in mind, the deck has limited shade.
Kid
4 to 11 yrs
The daily club programme and the mini disco are exactly this age's idea of a holiday.
Teen
12 yrs and up
The Walk, Bluewaters and the Marina are all walkable, which gives older kids a bit of independence.

Parents also ask
Is the all-inclusive worth it in Dubai?
For most families, yes. Eating out for four in this part of the city is expensive, and the package removes the constant decision-making as well as the cost.
Is the beach private?
The JBR beach in front is public and open to everyone, which makes it lively. It is clean, patrolled and well equipped, but it is not a quiet resort strand.
Do we need taxis every day?
No. Restaurants, the beach, a mall and the tram are all within a few minutes on foot, so you only pay for transport on excursion days.
Similar family stays
in Dubai
Atlantis The Palm
Big, solid rooms across two wings, nearly all with sea or Palm views, plus larger suites that give children their own corner. Connecting rooms are easy to request and cots are standard, so a family of four or five fits without anyone sleeping on a folding bed.
in Dubai
Jumeirah Beach Hotel
Rooms are large by city standards and almost all face the sea, with family formats and two-bedroom options that give children their own space. Interconnecting rooms are common and the layouts leave room for a cot without blocking the door.
in Dubai
Hilton Dubai Jumeirah
Straightforward, well-kept rooms, many with sea or marina views, plus family rooms and connecting pairs that are easy to secure if you ask early. Nothing here is a design statement, but the space and the storage are right for four people and a week of luggage.
