We stayed for a week and had excellent service. Vlad was very personable and attentive and helped us make our reservations for dinner. He served us our drinks at happy hour and always had a new cocktail to offer. We enjoyed our stay very much. The villas are renovated and very comfortable.

Stayed in villa 13 and the room, service and especially Vlad, who attended to our every need or want, was beyond exceptional. The pool area is spectacular, restaurants cater to every taste and the beach and grounds are simply beautiful. Cannot recommend more highly.

I have been having an amazing stay at one of the stunning villas of Jumeirah Dar Al Masyaf in January 2025 and would like to say special thank you to Butler Sharif who made my family stay delightful and enjoyable. I have been a regular guest of Jumeirah hotel chain in Dubai (Al Naseem/ Mina A Salam / Al Qasr and more recently Dar Al Masyaf ) in the last 14 years. I met Sharif at the Happy Hour in our villa 18. Since the first moment he had a heart warm smile and offered a range of cocktails. Sharif has been attentive to the smallest detail during our conversation and arranged a few things accordingly. He has also been taking care of other guests in a villa at the same time to the finest detail which made them very happy. Sharif simply loves his guests and makes each and everyone’s stay special in whichever villa he is working on the day. He is a rare asset to the business. His loyalty and commitment to clients makes Dar Al Masyaf brand stand out amongst other Jumeirah properties in Dubai creating a delightful experience and a wish to come back here over and over again. I highly recommend to ask for butler Sharif when you are staying at Dar Al Masyaf and be sure you have an unforgettable beautiful stay. Ekaterina Skulskaya Read less
