TL;DR

Hotel pools in Dubai often stay open until midnight. For older kids who need depth, adult pools are the better choice — note that some pools undergo renovation from June to October.

What the community said

Hotel pools are open until midnight, making evening swims very convenient. When checking in, request a two-story bungalow rather than a high-rise room — these are located right next to the pool and the beach.

For a 12-year-old who prefers pool swimming over the sea, adult pools with proper depth are the right choice — shallow kids' pools won't cut it at this age. Be aware that some hotel pools close for renovation between June and October, so confirm availability before booking.
