There is little that would have improved this first-class service. Nothing was too much trouble for the warm, friendly agent, who took a lot of time to chat about what style of holiday and hotel I wanted before making recommendations.
After investigating a few options from the If Only brochure, she offered quotes for the Ocean View Hotel, staying half-board for £1,798, or Grosvenor House staying B&B for £1,978, both including Emirates flights on February 7 and 11, and private transfers.
The former is a new hotel opening in January, so she called to check there wouldn’t be any building work when we arrived, as well as suggesting a room upgrade for £99 and offering to hold the flights for us. She was incredibly knowledgeable about Dubai, and genuinely keen to help.
The other staff were also very friendly, and the shop had a lovely, welcoming atmosphere.
