FORWARD Real Estate Experts

Forward Holidays · Guest information

A stay that suits you.
Know the details first.

These are Forward’s general booking and stay arrangements. Your selected home, rate, booking channel and community may add specific conditions; review the confirmation before paying.

If a booking confirmation clearly states a different condition, contact Forward before payment so the applicable term can be confirmed in writing.

What are the check-in and check-out times?

Check-in is from 3 pm and check-out is by 11 am. Early check-in or late check-out may be available on request, subject to availability, and a charge may apply.

Is there a minimum stay?

Forward does not apply one standard minimum or maximum stay across every home. The available dates, lead time and any channel-specific restriction are shown when you select the home and rate.

How many guests can stay?

Occupancy is stated for each home and may distinguish adults from children. The booking guest must be at least 18 and must provide an identity card or passport. Extra beds or cots may be available on request but do not change the permitted occupancy unless confirmed.

What does the quoted price include?

Forward’s quoted total is intended to include compulsory cleaning, linen and utilities. Website “from” rates include 5% VAT and remain indicative until dates are selected. The booking engine shows room prices before VAT and adds 5% VAT before payment, so review the itemised total before paying. Contact us before paying if the checkout shows any other compulsory charge.

How do payment, cancellation and refunds work?

Payment is due on booking by the method available for that channel—cash, card or bank transfer may be accepted. The cancellation conditions attached to the selected rate apply. A no-show is not eligible for a refund, and early departure does not qualify for a partial refund. Approved refunds are processed by Forward within 7–10 working days; bank or card clearing may take additional time.

Is a security deposit required?

The amount depends on the home and may be collected by cash, bank transfer or card. The property is inspected after checkout. Any reported damage or missing item is explained to the guest, and an applicable cost may be deducted or handled through the booking channel. The remaining deposit is released within 7 working days, subject to payment processing.

What are the party, noise and smoking rules?

Parties require prior permission; events are not allowed. No loud noise is permitted outside or on balconies after 8 pm. Smoking, vaping and shisha are not allowed inside. Smoking is permitted only on a balcony or in a private yard where the home and community rules allow it.

Are pets allowed?

Pet acceptance is property-specific and requires approval before booking. A fee normally applies when a pet is accepted. The home’s restrictions and charge must be confirmed in writing.

How do keys, parking and shared facilities work?

Keys and access cards are normally placed in a lockbox. Lost keys and lockouts are handled case by case; no standard charge is published. Most homes include parking; visitor parking is subject to availability. Pool, beach, gym, balcony, barbecue and shared-area use follows the applicable building or community rules.

Can we request cleaning during the stay?

Mid-stay cleaning is available on request and charged per visit. Airport transfers, grocery stocking, cots and similar extras may also be arranged on request and quoted separately.

What happens if maintenance is needed?

Maintenance visits are arranged as required and with guest consent. Outside normal hours, an emergency is referred to the building maintenance team because third-party contractors may be unavailable. If an unavoidable situation prevents the booked stay, Forward may relocate the booking or cancel it; the applicable financial treatment follows the booking terms and is communicated to the guest.

What should we know about accessibility and children?

Lifts, stairs, step-free access, bathroom arrangements, bunk beds and available equipment differ by home. Tell us the ages of children and any mobility or equipment requirements before booking so suitability can be confirmed.

What is required at checkout?

There are no cleaning tasks for guests. Leave keys and access cards in the lockbox; Forward’s team handles rubbish clearance. If belongings are found, the guest is contacted and the items are held for one month for collection.

Is commercial filming allowed?

Commercial filming or photography requires prior written permission and may be subject to property or community restrictions.

How do we get help?

Use the support contact provided in the home and with your booking. A Forward representative remains available by phone outside office hours. Emergencies are referred to the building maintenance team. For a pre-booking question, contact Forward on +971 50 766 3244. Office enquiry hours are Monday–Friday 9 am–6 pm and Saturday 10 am–2 pm, UAE time.
