Helpful knowledgeable staff sporting your business ideas

Hotel options, dates, and additions options are so limited.

Everything was great except the final person who seemed too jump to judgements too fast. I understand selling techniques but I think it would benefit the relationship greatly if one doesn't leave with a bad taste in the end. My recommendation would be to offer the customer whatever you want to offer and also offer them a bit of breathing space if they ask for it. If they want to think about it, encourage them to think about it instead of looking disappointed and dejected. Keep the same welcoming demeanor, this will make the potential client more relaxed and trusting. I usually do not write reviews but I think it was due because first group put in a lot of effort so I'm extending the courtesy back. Hope this helps.

The models presented on hotel investments as well as topics discussed opened my eyes to kinds of portfolios that I can also be pursue. Such investments

As a first experience it was interesting, but I would like to have much more information on the various levels of possible investments.

Excellent, we will recommend to friends and family

Good and interesting experience. Even i get not the hotels shown, wich was said at mail from September 2024. Thats sadly

The First group team are friendly, and they very helpful.

It was great to be able to meet such amazing people and visit their great community

First group is giving me and my family an opportunity to experience discover how beautiful the city is and staying in a 5 start hotel. Looking forward to having that experience. Thanks to Lara for following up

I would like make everyone Aware! Don't sign the contract unless you read A-Z and take your time least few days from first meeting, even though they say it a limited time offer and you may have missed the opportunity. Don't hesitate do some Googling search, Read reviews before engaging with The first group as there are many loops holes in the real situation with Aria Vacation club Membership! 👆1. It's not an investment even though they said you could make money for rent 2. Cooling off period (cancelling) is only 10 days! After that no happy face 😬 3 You need to pay annually service charge. (£ 900.00) 4. The first Group has passed customs personal details to another party/agents named RCI and they also send emails asking sign contracts and pay for membership if want to use points to use for other countries vacation 👉5Aria vacation membership is only for Dubai not world wide 👆 6. Consider your financial situation and your commitments. You may just lose your hand earned money as happened to us. 🤝 7 Don't trust verbal promises from sales agents and keep all in writing by emails or text messages. We have not consider above point and signed the contact and pay money. Now have request to cancel the membership and request for refunds as we feel we been misled. Actually we just visit Dubai on our way back form holiday as Flights transit. We only stayed 2 days in Dubai and it was first time in Dubai. We didn't had any intention to engaged with any kind of business in abroad. Now we are regret for visiting Dubai and the canceling and claim refunds situation is painful and more distressing Its not straight forward at all. This should not happened to any tourists anymore!. Its bad for Tourists industry in Dubai.!
We were picked up by The first Group agents at Monorail Station and we been offered free 2 night hotel stay and tour to tallest hotel.(later found that it was still on under construction)
However we endup with signed contract for Aria Vacation membership and made payments of £8000. 00 as they promised that we can gain income money by rent if we not use for our self. But long story short. Still need to pay more and more money and could not find the way to get out with this.

Been terrific experience so far. And am just signing up. I hope to receive a similar experience during my actual one week stay. That would be terrific.
So far, splendid

I have booked my week vacation Estay with first group I cannot wait the marketing management is great 🙌 👌

We paid for the Dubai Lifestyle membership on 2/16/25 and attempted to book our travel for the same time period in 2026. We asked for an extension until 2/28/26 and was denied. They had absolutely no flexibility. We were also disappointed that once you attempted to activate the voucher, you could only do it 90 days in advance. One needs to book air travel way in advance. Thus, the 90 day policy makes it very difficult to make confirmations.

I highly recommend The First Group to anyone who wants to visit Dubai for vacation or investment. Indeed, I had a great experience in Dubai in July 2024 thanks to The First Group travel offers. The visit to the TFG headquarters and the presentation of the project portfolio (Burj Khalifa, Sport city, El bacharai, ainsi que la Tour Ciel, le program aria vacations) was something impressive and unforgettable!
