I recently returned to the resort, drawn by its natural beauty and outstanding services, and I’m so glad I did! A special thanks to our butler, Rafi, who truly went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect in every way. From helping with restaurant bookings to suggesting we visit Wild Wadi, which turned out to be an amazing experience for my younger daughter, His recommendations for activities were spot-on, and we spent quality time at the water park, creating unforgettable memories. Rafi’s dedication to making us feel special extended even to happy hour, where we had great conversations about the Jumeirah properties and Dubai. He made us feel valued and ensured that every moment of our stay was enjoyable.
Looking forward to my next visit, and I’m certain Rafi’s exceptional service will make it just as memorable!

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights bed and breakfast for our wedding anniversary in a sea view gulf summer house and it was truly exceptional. The suite was enormous with 2 balconies . The room also came with a 24-hour butler service and a happy 2 hours 5pm -7pm in our apartment block.
The grounds of the hotel are so pretty, the staff are amazingly helpful , the rooms are grand and spotless with gorgeous sea views.
Breakfast was fantastic with both buffet style and menu options. The range of food available for breakfast was the best I've ever seen.
We have been lucky enough to stay in some wonderful hotels in the UK and abroad and we think this is has been our favourite so far
We have already booked to come back next year it was that good .

I had an absolutely amazing experience at Jumeirah. Every person we encountered at the resort was extremely accommodating and went beyond to make sure I was enjoying my stay. I had a personal host Anisa who went above and beyond for my girlfriend’s birthday and made our stay special. I was upgraded to a lagoon view room at check in at Dar Al Masyaf by Staci who just did an amazing job welcoming me to the resort - with the room and following up with me. These 2 girls were especially spectacular - the service from all employees is on another level. I would highly recommend going to this resort. Thank you again for your hospitality.

Once again we were able too visit our favourite vacation for the 10th year in a row…. After all these years we have been able to create memories with some magical team members….
For years we have had the pleasure of Winnie & James being our head butlers that truly deliver such a wonderful experience in every way possible! Extremely Professional & Intuitive in every possible way!! We can’t Thank you both enough for your service!
Also it must be mentioned that we also had the fabulous Shakwat & most pleasant Aida as butlers that went above and beyond! Although new to the team we definitely see fantastic opportunities for both of them! Thank you for your joyous hospitality & service!
Our housekeeper for our stay in Villa 13 was Naleem! He was a master of cleanliness, absolutely so professional and tailored our room with such perfection! We were blown away with his service and dedication! What a delight he was to have! Thanks Naleem!
A special mention to the chefs in the Hanaaya especially Dhowlath Khan & Aruna who magically created our breakfast treats & meals tirelessly & made fresh meals for us each morning! Such a credit to the team at Hanaaya…. Which is why we adore visiting when we arrive!! Thank you both of you!
My only disappointment and criticism is the Happy Hour is a complete failure in my opinion as 5-7pm does not work! The reason is as visiting from the Uk we look forward to the sunset that sets early at 6pm daily! We missed the sunset as we had to get ready for our evening so much earlier that. The 6-8pm times you previously had in place! We never saw the sunset & can’t understand why you don’t use the Celeste Bar for DAM Guests to utilise the bar & see the sunset?!? It is not used too it’s full potential! Also we don’t have children as do many of your guests as they are, like us, on a couples holiday so the early slot doesn’t appeal to any of us….. Also the Happy Hour at 6-8pm always had guests meeting for the drinks & social aspect it was meant for but now we met only 5% of the fellow villa gueats…. So Disappointing!!!
I would be pleased in every aspect if you could please address this as it really is a strong reason to change our vacation in the future!
JUMERIAH Holds a special place in our hearts & we look forward to visiting again next October!! Thank you for your amazing hospitality and service once again!!!
