“Our Dubai Home!”

Sep 14, 2025Crowsfoot

Returned to DAM again this year after a 2 year break. Stayed in villa8 it’s like coming home, so beautiful, calm and wonderful. So happy to be staying in our favourite location and seeing all the familiar staff and locations. Some feedback may be appropriate at this time: Positives Staff could not be more helpful and accommodating. The housekeeping in our villa is simply superb with details such as flowers in room and marking a special occasion such as treat. Thank you so much. Negatives We booked half board which we normally do however this year there are so few restaurants without a supplement and so many are closed that we find it difficult to find a restaurant to suit us each evening. Buffets are not our choice and we went one evening to Arboretum and it was just ok. The Hide and Toscana were superb. D&A in JBH and Fika also good. I have provided feedback to Villa staff on our difficulties with the HB. I hope they take this on board . This year for the first time there was a cat around the main pool. I am not a cat lover at all and avoid places with cats generally. I would hope this is not something we will see next year!! Whilst most days were perfect occasionally there are large inflatable toys in the pool which just take away from everyone’s peace and enjoyment. In my opinion they are far too large and uncalled for. I thank DAM staff for another amazing holiday and hope you take the above feedback in a positive way in which it is intended! Overall DAM is fantastic and we love coming here. Thank you all for making our stay so fabulous. Apart from the above DAM remains top of our choice for our holidays each year.

“Our 2nd visit”

Sep 12, 2025Debbie S

We have arrived back for our 2nd visit and so very pleased to be able to say that everything is just as good as our first visit last year. We are enjoying the upgraded room and all the facilities that go with it. The private pool is so quiet and very relaxing, enjoying the daily complimentary ice lollies and the addition of The Candy Man and ingenious idea! The staff are all so very helpful and accomodating and cannot do enough for you but very discreetly, thank you. Stacey, Shashi and team, continue doing what you all do so well and with such a smile. Thanks to Ash for great sundowners last night, we love you and was great to catch up 🥰 Just one not so positive note, this morning we had breakfast in the overflow set up at The Hide Brasserie and sad to say we would not want to have breakfast there again, it felt very slow and disorganised. Other than this our holiday experience so far has not disappointed.
