Service to be improved
January 2, 2024

I took out a travel insurance policy with The First Group (Dubai Lifestyle Experience) 3 months ago. The precaution I was given was to give notice at least 14 days before my departure. Which I did. But I'm surprised at how long it takes (at least 5 days) to provide me with the references of the hotel where I'm staying. I thought that 24 hours at the most would be enough. What's more, I'm even being offered alternative pick-up dates even though my travel dates have already been set.

This is not for tourists
November 1, 2023

The guy told us it would be a 2 hour experience but they wasted 6 hours of our day. I asked them to get to the details on two occasions but they kept saying we are almost done. He saw we had our kids with us but kept going.

This is not an investment opportunity for your average tourist. Big waste of time on a family trip.

Biggest fraud ever...
February 4, 2019

Biggest Fraud ever? I suggest all European investors to avoid investing in TFG projects.
We were explained by the sales manager that we could re-sell our hotel apartment with profit after first increase (20%). But after the contract, the person from legal said that re-sell is not possible.
We wrote mails to the sales managers... no reply.
Now we are running out of our savings. We will never invest in Dubai again!

Hi Adi, could you please contact us either here on at private email or at social@thefirstgroup.com. There are some comments you posted that are not entirely true and it must be a miscommunication. Please, do get in touch. Thanks

100% great decision
October 31, 2017

I actually was really insecure before making this property investment, but The First Group team cleared all my doubts. I already had a pleasant experience of talking to them during a professional exhibition, so naturally the company was my #1 choice for investment. They helped me get familiar with Dubai property market and with the local hotel industry, and I appreciate this a lot. Thanks to their guidance, I was able to choose a project in a promising area, and the first financial results are quite impressive. I hope the tendency will stay for long.

We learnt a lot about the different investment opportunities and family holiday packages. The presentation by Innocent was amazing. You could actually own a holiday home for 30 years with minimum contributions. You could also own property in Dubai if you can afford it and make money from it

Bought my Dubai Lifestyle Experience months ago and now want to redeem and activate as we are planning on going on holidays in Dubai soon. I have since done it online, written to the email on the Certificate Number but got no response. To make matter worse, there is no contact number to make phone calls. This is really terrible and makes my family upset and angry about the whole package.
We need to get our trip arranged and finalised.
Why is no one responding to the emails?
This is horrible.
If I don't hear anything I will be making a lot of noise about this.
I hope it is not a scam because I will be very vocal about it.

The deal sounded exciting and worth trying out.
October 30, 2021

It was quite impressive and convincing. Your team took their time to explain everything to us. They appeared friendly, polite but businesslike which made their approach convincing to want to participate. The discounted service and offers too are very good. We will by all means come back to Dubai very shortly to experience this deal.

Terrible forceful gimmick
December 31, 2023

The sales rep was 40 minutes late. Rushed through a presentation which was supposed to be for an investment opportunity but showed us some holiday package and refused to drop us back to the hotel that had been confirmed previously
Appreciate what you're trying to do but the entire thing execution is terrible for

Excellently Fantastic
December 29, 2021

It was a great experience for my family and I at your first group office. Ahmed and the whole team did a fantastic job. They kept to every of their promises. I initially thought it was just a marketing promises to get customers until our expo 2020 visit with the voucher from first group, the free train tickets and finally a dinner at MasterChef. I lack word to express my feelings but my family and I were blown away. It was an el Dorado of some sort. Looking forward to doing more business with you.
Thank you so much.

We checked in for a weekend and left very satisfied with very good memories. The hotel was suggested to us by some friends who stayed here before and were satisfied too. The rooms were super clean, the view was super and I got a cake for my birthday too. Would like to thank the team for their hard work mainly Nour because she extended extra care to us attention and compassion during the whole stay, we felt precious and this was definitely something. Thank you again for all
