I don’t normally write reviews but we just got back from a stay at Dar al Musyaf and we absolutely loved it. Not only are the renovated villas beautiful and spacious, the whole property/area of madinat Jumeirah is just wonderful, beautiful and filled with all kinds of options for dining, activities etc. The people were all incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to be courteous to us, kind to our family (especially our kids) and made us feel so welcomed. Didn’t meet a single person who worked there that did not say hello, smile at us, ask us if we needed anything etc. I have to specifically mention Brian from villa 19. Not only is he such a great, kind man, but he truly made our stay magical. From making sure my son’s birthday was celebrated with a delicious cake and a birthday sign in our room, to putting beautiful flowers in our room for my wife, he just went above and beyond. I also just enjoyed chatting with him during the daily happy hour. Had some great conversations. I felt as though I was chatting with a friend I’ve known for a long time. That guy is a legend who is great at his job and deserves to be recognized! Thank you so much Brian! Additionally, we loved the kids club there and felt like the staff went above and beyond to make sure our kids were having fun, didn’t overdo it with video games (!), and most importantly, were safe. Marina in particular made us feel so welcomed and at ease and also deserves to be recognized! Our kids loved it and really warmed up to her - even my two year old took a liking to her and she’s usually pretty reserved. Also want to mention Wallace at the front where the cars/taxis come in. Just such a lovely, friendly guy that always made us feel Like we were returning home, and was always so helpful. Thanks to everyone we interacted with - we loved DAM and will most certainly be back if we’re lucky enough to travel to Dubai again! Read less
