I've spent a few days trying to organize how I speak about my stay because I truly want to provide a comprehensive description of my experience. High level - it was perfect! As in, I do not have a single complaint (other than not being able to find the decadent shower gel available in the property, but I'm hopeful I'll eventually locate it!).

Property: There were ladies on this trip to Dubai so we obviously want to have a very decadent vacation. This honestly felt like the most luxurious venue I have been to in my life! The 4 bedroom house has an elevator, is right on the beach, and is gorgeously decorated. We had access to every amenity imaginable and were located right beside the pool at the Five Hotel, in addition to our own property pool. Everything was spacious - wide, long balconies in every bedroom, glamorous bathroom fixtures, just loveliness. Even better than a hotel, we had access to both a butler and housekeeper to ensure our daily experience exceeded our expectations. Chami and Raj proactively assessed our needs, provided detailed descriptions of amenities, and made the entire checkin/checkout process painless. Any and every request was exceeded - I am in awe of the kindness that accompanied the execution.
Five Hotel: Wonderfully decorated, trendy, modern hotel with a prime location on Palm Jumeirah. The hotel has a cool pool design and tasty restaurants (and currency exchange, vape store, etc.) that you'll have access to. Like all of Dubai, everyone is extremely polite and thoughtful.
Communication with Host:
Hands down, this was the best part of the stay. Bert and his team with Holiday Homes (Chami and Raj) are some of the kindest, most thoughtful, consummate professionals I have worked with in the entirety of the time I have been traveling. Due to another host failing, my group had to scramble to find another venue for our trip to Dubai. I booked very late at night, and Bert was up and available to walk me through the payment process and to connect me with his team. We toasted Bert every night, bc his place is just that amazing!
Overall: Bert, Chami, and Raj all chose to be helpful and considerate and their demeanors catapulted our experience from awesome to priceless. I am currently making plans to return with my mother a few other friends in the future - this was an experience worth replicating.
Thank you so so much for sharing your beautiful home with us and being the highlight of our birthday trip!
