Hello to everyone who loves the sea, the sun and Egypt. We rested at Al Nabila Grand Makadi Bey from August 23 to September 6. We read different reviews, incl. very bad. Therefore, we answer.
1. Not for the first time in Egypt, and not only in it. We saw very different hotels. Rested with children 3 and 7 years old.
2. We went to lie down on the sea beach, enjoy the sun and, first of all, the sea. + personally, I also wanted to escape from civilization, phones, everything, everything, everything. We took flippers, masks, shorts and ran away from everyone to enjoy life, fish and children. Therefore, see point 3.
3. To say that we had a good rest is to say nothing. We had a GREAT vacation! Why?

4. First, the sea. It is fabulously beautiful here (I saw a lot, including the ocean), we all really liked this bey, this bay. And the kids just love it. The son said that he never wants to go to Turkey again. Zatoka is a comfortable bath without wind, waves, warm. I can talk for a long time. There are no jet skis humming above your ear and you can fully enjoy the comfort, silence, tranquility and eternity. Second, the beach is amazing. Gentle sand and complete peace of mind for the children, they do not need to wear shoes, you do not worry that they will fall on a stone or cut their feet on corals. They can safely build sandcastles or lie on the bank almost completely in the water. Well, with all this, the sea is simply an excellent underwater world. We all saw octopuses, starfish, lion-fish and much more right on the shore. Well, if you also swim to the cor. reefs - there is indescribable beauty. Yes, there are places in Egypt where the underwater kingdom is even richer, but this was enough for us. + not everywhere is so safe for children and + near underwater reefs that far out to sea I feel some kind of fear of the elements, but here I am completely “at home”.
5. As for greenery and desert, I will answer this way. Most hotels have palm trees, flowers and more on the territory. I do not argue, it is always beautiful. But we have seen this before, seen it many times. Here, the greenery has not yet had time to grow due to the infancy of this hotel. But personally, I really liked it, it's new, chic, a feature. Primordial desert, indescribably comfortable, gentle, unforgettable atmosphere of some kind of eternity, tranquility, kindness. To all my relatives, I described the place of our stay in this way: paradise at the end of the world. I exactly felt myself there, I actually saw and felt that paradise, I took a break from problems and even began to look at the world in a different way. Of course, whoever loves the crowd, shops, restaurants, discos, nightlife (by the way, I really love the center of Hurghada at night, its streets, that atmosphere), who wants to see the city, is definitely not in Nabila. And not even in Makadi or some Safaga. You just clearly tell your tour operator exactly what you want. And then you won’t have incidents like “I wanted to buzz, go to the casino, but they threw me into the desert, and even to the fish that I’m afraid of. ”
6. Well, now as for the hotel, service, food. If you are a minister or president who happens to be in Nabil, relax and enjoy. And upon arrival home, simply dismiss your administration, which so cruelly threw you into the desert. I tell everyone that AL NABILA is not a VIP luxury hotel. And it's not a secret! Buy expensive vouchers of a network of famous hotels (if your tour operator does not catch the difference in hotels, so tell him that the tour will cost not 1000 USD, but 10000 USD) VIP class and you will be served sushi on the body of a virgin, where you You can try both at the same time. And you definitely won't go hungry like some do. Yes, there is no sushi, roast beef with the blood of a young cow or pineapples under pork. If you are a gourmet and go for culinary creations, then choose a hotel of exactly this direction, the corresponding city and country. Let me remind everyone that Lyon (France) is the gastronomic capital of Europe. By the way, you can ask for the price of a room at the Radisson Sass hotel in Lyon, this is the tallest pencil-shaped building in the city. Pull - I'm sincerely happy for you. But for me personally (although I really love sushi) and our family, there were even too many dishes. Desserts are a different story. And if you have indigestion - if you please, you need to eat less. + take with you the appropriate drugs, both preventing poisoning and quickly helping with it. Everyone always talks about this, because you are going to Africa. And there are more than enough different drugs now. + Well, with fruit you have to be careful. Having eaten a kilo of grapes even at home, you can easily sit in the WC for 3 days. Take a bowl of hot water and wash all fruits before eating. Otherwise - your own enemy, and there is nothing to blame for this hotel. Service. Personally, we had absolutely no problems. Everything was in order with us, they cleaned very well, they didn’t even always take a tip for it, no one offended us, well, absolutely everything. I spoke English, it is easier for me than Russian, because we are from Western Ukraine, but they understand Russian perfectly. Yes, and there was nothing special to talk about, there were no problems, and ordering cola or wine is a trifle, our son did it. So he now knows how to say "2 bottles of water" in English.
Gorok is not here. It's bad, I don't argue. My son, going there, was very angry, because the hills are his element. BUT! I am very glad that they were not here, and he, by the way, too. Now he was not chlorinated in the pool water, and I did not run to look for him from one hill to another. He simply did not come ashore from the sea, but I did not worry, because the water is very warm, the sea is healthy, wonderful, there are no waves and complete grace. And we go to the water park. Whether in summer or winter. Yes, he almost never took off his mask. Pisces Hello to all who love the sea, the sun and Egypt. We rested at Al Nabila Grand Makadi Bey from August 23 to September 6.

13. There are no slides here. It's bad, I don't argue. My son, going there, was very angry, because the hills are his element. BUT! I am very glad that they were not here, and he, by the way, too. Now he was not chlorinated in the pool water, and I did not run to look for him from one slide to another.

Whether in summer or winter. Yes, he almost never took off his mask. 'cause they're awesome!
14. Animation. To be honest, we didn’t see her in principle, it didn’t work out, and we didn’t need her either. Mini disco is mostly in Italian. Yes, there are hotels where the mini-disco is thought out a little better, but this is from which side to look. Our almost 3 year old daughter had a great time. And do they sing ital. COZI or English. then you happy on vocation - she, and me, didn't care at all. By the way, she had a 1st boy there. Italian, who cares. What they showed after the mini-disco - they never saw it, they went to the room. Children after all, and the fish in the morning are especially good. All sorts of aerobics, belly dancing, children's games - just do it. If you want to. But we rarely wanted to.
15. The most important thing. If you are going on vacation to look for flaws, to be rude to someone, to show how strong, rich and the best in the world you are - do not go to Egypt. This is a comparatively poor country, and they are doing their best to please us. Do not offend people, God will punish. But if you love the sea, the sun, fish, unusual things like the pyramids or Luxor, if you love life, then feel free to pack your bags to this country. Personally, I love this country very much, very much. Take with you a smile, a good mood and, believe me, no broken light bulb will ruin your vacation. Will I go to Nabily? I really like to change hotels, now the choice is very large, novelty, new places. But I will definitely come to Nabila sometime. After all, I was 100% happy there. After all, this is what heaven looks like at the end of the world. Who doesn't want to go to heaven?
P. S. For those who are looking for dating or love. I left my family and went to Hurghada to buy gifts. I met a cool man, from whom I barely got rid of (maybe in vain, he was, believe me, worthy, handsome, smart). There were plenty of opportunities to retire somewhere. But this is philosophy. The hotel is definitely a family hotel, this is an indisputable fact. Therefore, somewhere in the center of Hurghada or Sharm, you will have more opportunity to ignite a resort or family romance later. But!!! ! You never know where exactly yours goes, even if only resort happiness. Or maybe he was tired of the megalopolis search and it, namely your happiness, together with a friend / girlfriend went in search of happiness to a desert paradise? After all, if it pleases life, YOU, namely YOU, will be found even at the end of the world....

Good luck to everyone, love, good weather, smiles and a soft landing.
