Very nice day with over qualified driver that gave us a great experience of driving through the desert! The place we had the barbecue was spectacular, the food was really good and the events were great!

Bad experience, the description of the invitation did not match with what the presentation was like. They promised us an introduction to the hotel, like an event, to get to know the hotel, review their hospitality and consider booking a stay on our next visit. In reality it was a mere sales pitch, just to sell a product, which we were not at all interested in. We did not get 'enjoy' the hotel's facilities.

The product presentation was carried out in a professional manner, the employees were determined in their work and achieving success.

Disappointing and felt pressured. We were mislead as to the purpose of the trip and the staff were unfriendly, intimidating aggressive sales people.

استاذ ايهاب الشامي
قدم لي مساعدات كتير بصراحه موظف كفئ ومن افضل الشخصيات للتعامل معه وواجهه مشرفه لشركه مشرفه وارغب بالتعامل الدائم معه شخص محترم وراقي
Indeed, we have not signed any biz with 1rst Group. But iwe were so curious to participante to the explanation's guided tour in which i learned so much things about Dubai and your Business life. Doline, the person in charge of us was very Kind, helpfull, open minded and experienced. Thanks for the Programm and good luck in life.
Everything is okay and on time except the issuing of the certificate which took longer time after making payment.
Had a very nice visit with First Group, everyone very friendly. The major disappointment came when the "two free nights anytime in the next year" we were promised became only 4 months (May through August '24), and though we were told we'd be able to make reservations right away, we can't even login until May 1st. Given that First Group didn't keep their word I cannot recommend them.
