This was my wife's and my first holiday without children after 20 years. I believe we could hardly have chosen a more suitable hotel than Dar Al Masyaf. Nearly everything was simply perfect: the room (Villa 1, ocean view), the superb and very personal butler service (a great "thank you" to Moses!), the "happy hour" every evening from 6 -... More

We visited the Dar Al Masyaf from the 14th until the 19th of May 2013 and we had the most amazing holiday. Having been moved to this resort only the night before we were due to fly we were a little apprehensive about our resort however it was PHENOMENAL!!! From the food to the accommodation it was 5 star plus... More

We had previously stayed at the Mina a'Salaam and thought that couldn't be beaten. However, the villas at Dar Al Masyaf are its equal in every way. From the moment you're escorted from your car to reception, the luxury begins. We had a villa right next to our own pool, shared only with a couple of other summer houses, and... More

We visited this resort on 14 - 19 May 2013. At first my partner and I were very apprehensive as we only got told at Dubai airport that our accommodation had been changed from the original booking! On arriving at this resort, from entering the lobby to being greeted by our butler just had the absolute WOW factor. We were... More

If you are not familiar with Dubai, many of the resorts are very comfortable with lots of activities and restaurants scattered about. This hotel is one of those on a pretty large scale, with pools, beaches out onto the gulf, the Jumeirah (sail shaped hotel) nearby, and lots of restaurants. We stayed in a deluxe room styled after a two... More

In this resort, we were the third time. The first year we stayed in the Jumeirah Beach hotel. The problem with this hotel is that not all rooms have windows and this really bothers me. Last year and this year we were in Dar al Masyaf. And we were very satisfied. Although they gave us at the beginning very noisy... More

The entire Madinat Jumeirah Resort is a marvel indeed. It is difficult to believe that it is nearing it's tenth anniversary due to its upkeep. The Al Qasr entrance and drive is impressive with prancing golden stallions; the lobby and lounge has plenty of bling. We were checked into an Al Masyaf villa on the banks of a meandering canal,...

We stayed at the Dar Al Masyaf in April for the first part of our honeymoon and also it was our first visit to Dubai. We were really impressed from the start. We booked an Arabian Summerhouse Double but on arrival we were told we had been upgraded to a Suite which was a lovely suprise. The suite was a... More

plusses: excellent facilities, distance to beach, rooms, clean, food, great fitness, quiet despite fully booked, great bar and nice restaurants room for improvement: bit artificial, feels like disneyworld.
