Set among gardens, waterways, pools and the resort’s private beach, the summerhouses of Jumeirah Dar Al Masyaf offers refurbished guestrooms and courtyards and butler service.

As always - the service, location and all the facilities are at the highest possible level. I believe Jumeirah Dar Al Masyaf is the best hotel in Dubai. I would like to especially note the fantastic level of service and guest experience of mr Hammad who works in an evening/night shift at the buggy station of the main building / palace. He is super polite, can support a positive discussion. Hammad is a natural-born person for customer interactions.

Located in Dubai, 800 metres from Dubai Mall, Kempinski Central Avenue Dubai provides accommodation with a fitness centre, free private parking, a restaurant and a bar.

First of all, the transaction with Booking does not provide any solution to any problem. Secondly, the hotel does not appreciate how much the customer paid, or if he has circumstances, or if he wants to leave before the checkout time.

This was my second visit to the property . The property is simply stunning and the views to the Burg Al Arab and beach just beautiful . Lots of dining options and my favourite is The Hide steakhouse . First class food and hospitality by all the staff . My room rate included breakfast on this visit and simply amazing . Everything you could possibly require and excellent quality , just divine . Rooms are huge with every amenity you could want. All in all a very good stay , the only draw back is the price , it’s incredibly expensive to stay here .

We were greeted by Cherry on reception who assisted us with our check in, we were upgraded from a junior suit the an executive suit. Thank you. Our suit was beautiful, incredibly spacious and the interior design had a very boutique vibe about it. We had a huge balcony overlooking the Polo field. Rooms service was very efficient and fast!
