The staff and service is 5 star everywhere at the resort. The food quality is excellent with so much flavour. Their outdoors are so stunning and picturesque with attention to detail. The room is spacious, clean, pillows are so fluffy and their beds very comfortable, slept until noon. Anything you need, you can just send a message to your online butler and they will make it happen. The villa also provides its guests with snacks and drinks. It is my second time at the resort and I plan on coming back next year.

I was not going to post a review but after leaving one direct with the hotel and getting a email back from them for more details a week ago now and I have had no response again poor customer service and not something I expect from Jumeirah group.
After talking with other guests we are not alone in our views

Our stay in the Dar al Masyaf absolutely exceptional, thanks to our amazing butler, Diyor, who took care of every detail, and who flawlessly adapted to our very specific dietary needs. A special mention to the Pool boy Sultan was Great for every moment and brilliant person,
Everyday gave different moment.
The rooms are, without a doubt, the most beautiful among luxury resorts in the Dubai—spacious, modern, and filled with light. As frequent guests of high-end hotels, we were especially impressed by the impeccable housekeeping and flawless service.
A huge Thanks you to the team see you soon..
