We have just finished 5 days at Dar al Maysf and we are so elated to have chosen this beautiful gem. We felt like we were whisked away to our very own Arabian Palace and treated like absolute royalty. We particularly loved how boutique and personal the service felt and how every detail was immaculately thought through. Evening drinks in the Riad was the most memorable experience. Special thanks go out to the very warm Sharif- our Butler extraordinaire. He knew us by name, organized our every need and lived up to values of Jumeirah’s 6 star experience. Our trip would not have been the same without him. Also thanks to Asmita and Lucia for their assistance in our room. We would love to come back and will keep dreaming about this heavenly escape Read less
