Very pushy
November 5, 2023

We would have definitely made some decision, as we are now leaning to look at other companies that might offer a similar deal where we could get weekly packages for the future, but we were very disappointed that your staff was pushy and salesy. At the time, we could not be confident enough in the offering and we doubt we'd want to deal with your staff again.

It was promised that there are no black out dates!
Also I should be able to use my days when I need it, not all in a row.
Please contact me to discuss (maybe I will split the days)
It was promised that I can choose the hotel as I would like (not set my priority and take what is a left over)

Exceptional Service

Updated review

From the moment you arrive, the quality of service from shuttle, to check in, the room quality, the fine dining plus all the outdoor experiences, checks off all boxes as a truly memorable experience and would do it all over again

Information with patience
October 21, 2023

Yes they are in the business of selling hotel rooms though they are not pushy or hurried. I found their representative, Reem, to be patient for my questions and well informed providing information and answers in an easy to comprehend and retain format. Their presentation was accommodating of my personal and business needs on the day, dropping me to a lunch engagement and then collecting me after.

Our family whilst on our first holiday was approached by one of their representatives offering a 2 night complimentary stay at one of their hotels for a next visit to Dubai as well as free lunch the next day in exchange for listening to a marketing presentation for a new hotel. We were told we were not expected to pay a penny and 'not to bring any money'!. When we went for the presentation the next day, it turned out they wanted us to sign for a vacation club and give a deposit of £2000 there and then. When we said we cannot afford it, their manager abruptly advised the salesperson to escort us on our way. We felt lied to and felt ashamed of ourselves that we trusted them. There was no mention of a dinner and the two night stay was only for two which is no good for us as a family of 4 with two young kids. They are a fraud company.

Warm Reception and Great Product
October 15, 2023

The guys at The First Group have a great customer service culture and made me feel welcomed and comfortable.
Their product I went in for was well explained and I felt like there was enough transparency too.
