It is everyone who works at Jumeirah from the valet guys, luggage handlers, front desk, abra and buggy drivers, housekeepers and restaurant and bar attendants etc that do their jobs impeccably.
Have been five times already to stay and I will be back again.
Well done to Jumeirah.

Just returning home from a fabulous holiday at the Dar Al Masayf, we were on half board package and every restaurant we ate in was outstanding this year there was not one thing i could complain about. We visited one of our favourite butlers Ashis who was in villa 16, it was great to see him and he helped sort out our friend’s Jumeriah One Membership, he is always smiling and happy to assist you, looking forward to seeing you all again in August, also a special mention to Peden and Gi Gi in La Promanade where we went for breakfast it was great to see them always smiling and happy to help

Jumeirah Dar Al Masyaf holiday
Jun 26, 2025Noel D
The staff and facilities were fantastic. Ashis our butler gets special thanks for the way he took care of all our needs making our stay feel great in every way. We managed to try a different restaurant every night ranging from Italian to Indian and seafood to Lebanese all were exception.
Poor service and an unapologetic complaint process
Jun 24, 2025Sahil S
Poor service combined with an unapologetic complaint process
One to avoid from the Jumeriah hotel group
Staff not properly trained
Laughing in your face when you voice your concerns
Especially those on dispatch duties and service-led roles.
Jumeirah Dar Al Masyaf is one to avoid is you are used to good service
A home from home
