This was our first family visit to Dubai, and thanks to the great reviews from the other Tripadvisor members decided to stay at the Dar Al Masyaf. Whilst it has been almost a year since our trip, the memories of the resort, the food and the friendly staff remain undiminished and prompted me to write this pending our next summer... more

Having stayed in Al Qasr we had wondered whether we should return there but then decided to try the villas. We were so pleased we did. I had contacted the resort before arriving with a request for a first floor room. We arrived about 2am and the butler showed us to our requested room. I was disappointed to see that... more

Stayed at the Dar from 17 June to 24th. Check-in brillant, no wait for a room and an upgrade to Gulf summerhouse, which was a nice start. Room lovely with a enormous bathroom. Butlers very nice and helpful. Surroundings are wonderful, restaurants great. Give it a go. . more

This was our first visit to this resort after staying in the Jebel Ali resort on our previous visits to Dubai and after half a day in the resort we where wondering what we had been doing all this time going to that hotel. This place has got to be the best hotel that we have ever stayed in. We... more

This was our third visit to the Madinat Jumierah resort and the second to the Summer Houses. We stayed in Villa block 15. In my view blocks 15 & 16 are the best in the resort, unless you are lucky to afford the seafront ones! The reason they are only a few minutes to the beach, have a pool right... more

Having stayed last September for a week to celebrate my husbands 40th birthday and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, it was my turn this year. Where should we go? There was only one option - to go back to the Dar and we were not dissappointed. Had a lovely room overlooking the waterways in Villa 26, which was bigger that last year.... more

We stayed here for free for 2 nights in December 2006. We live and work in Dubai and this was a thank you gift from a client. Upon check in we were upgraded to one of the suites. I have lived in Dubai and stayed in many of the hotels (Jumeira Beach Hotel, Mina A Salam, Royal Mirage) and I... more

Had previously visited Dubai 7 times and had always stayed at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, which is an outstanding resort hotel, which our 2 children aged 11 and 9 think is absolutely great. In May we decided to book a last minute week away and was really disappointed that the JBH was fully booked. We had already booked flights with... more

Okay so this was the final stage in a trip from Korea, japan and then onto dubai for 7 nights. We arrived at 6am! we knew the check in was going to be 2pm (the hotel is pretty much full at this time of year!), the heat hit us like a spade at the airport! The transfer time took about... more
