Hi all! Rested in Al Nabila 02.05-12.05. 2010 threesome. Operator - Pegasus, departure from Nizhny Novgorod, Orenburg Airlines. There are no complaints about the operator and the airline, everything is on time, clearly, without complaints. Met, brought to the hotel at 5 pm, the keys to the room were given after 15 minutes. We didn’t like the room - it’s a 2-storey building, the rooms are four-digit, start at 11: a view of the neighboring bungalows, the furniture is so-so, not 5 stars at all. We went to swear at the reception - they said there are no other rooms, let's see you tomorrow. 2 hours of arguing - to no avail. The porter helped - showed us the main boss, approached him - he wrote us down, on the trail. day at 12 noon they gave a chic room 1938 - 2nd floor, sea view, cool furniture, 5-7 minutes walk to the sea and the restaurant.
So much has been written about the lagoon that I simply agree with all the reviews - the sea is SUPER! We saw octopus, about 30 species of fish and there are very beautiful corals.
Nutrition - you will not be able to overeat there, but it is quite possible to eat normal human food without the most spicy seasonings. Yes, there are really few fruits: oranges, bananas and dates every day, watermelons, melons, apples - 2 times a week. There were peaches 3 times - green and hard. Sweets are a very large selection. In the morning, excellent donuts and strong coffee. Of the hot dishes for dinner, there are 8 bowls, the same on both sides: 3 vegetable side dishes, rice, fish, 2 types of meat, chicken. Separately, the chef prepares 2 types of pasta, pizza, barbecue on the street or some dish that the chef gives in portions. 4-5 types of salads, another cook cuts fresh vegetables, but he gave us not 1 in one hand, but as much as needed! For wine and beer, you have to stand at the counter in line from 1 to 10 minutes - how lucky! Stela bottled beer (local), tetra pak wine. There were no juices at all, only 2 types of yupi - but nothing tasted.

They really have a problem with cleaning tables, although at the end of our vacation it seemed to get better - and they began to clean up faster, and apparently they bought dishes - before that there were problems with glasses for water and cups for tea for breakfast.
The room was cleaned normally, in which case there is a coveted phone number - 7045, a Russian girl is sitting there - for all questions, she finds the staff herself and sends us.
Tours:
Luxor was taken from Pegasus, the guide Aladdin is humorous, lively, tells interesting things, arranges role-playing games, but walking in such heat to watch these temples and valleys is very hot!
Super Safari - I liked it very much, we took it from Pegasus, everything was as promised, it was a lot of fun!
Island number (Utopia) - taken on the beach near Mido. They were very afraid to take it, the guides said - shine that, the insurance will not work. But after reading the insurance contract, they were convinced that this was not the case, so they took a chance. And they didn't regret it!
The group was 24 people (we promised this Mido Big Problems if they put more than 25 people on the yacht, because we were warned by tourists that they do this sometimes and it gets very crowded). They picked it up and brought it on time, they fed tolerably on the yacht, no one got poisoned, by the way there were a lot of children from 1.5-11 years old. We watched 2 coral islands - insanely beautiful. We sailed to Utopia - the sand is fine, beautiful, but I didn’t want to wallow, the guide called to sleep with corals - we swam - there are also very beautiful corals, although it’s a long way to swim, but it’s worth it! I especially wanted to highlight our sea guide on this excursion - Big Mido. Well done! He knows his job, he looks after everyone very carefully, if something goes wrong - he immediately swims up, asks how you are doing, if you are tired - you are lucky on yourself, like a tugboat! It's not scary at all with him.
Animation - we were lucky, 2 days before our arrival, a Russian team arrived - 4 people. During the day on the beach volleyball, exercises, water aerobics, evening shows.
We went only 1 time for yoga - we liked it.

The bar is the best Siniati, to the left of the reception, where the Essam bartender makes a delicious Anise cocktail, but this is illegal, because this cocktail is not on the main list. But a magical $1 and a smile work wonders (unless one of his colleagues and bosses is watching).
From 3-5 in Aurora they give delicious white and chocolate ice cream.
All drinks from 10-24, there is also a bar on the beach, there are also snacks throughout the day, delicious french fries.

So the pros:
Very friendly and helpful staff, no rudeness!
A beautiful lagoon with a comfortable sandy clean entrance.
A large territory, enough greenery, they constantly plant something, equip it.
Russian animation.
Delicious donuts in the morning!

Minuses
Pretty monotonous food and few fruits - but everything is tasty and satisfying.
For those who like to watch corals, they will have to swim far away, closer to the buoys, there are none near the shore in the lagoon.
They are also near the LaDorado beach, closer to the buoys, and on Private Beach they are very beautiful, colorful, but first walk 30 meters, then a cliff with a sheer wall of corals, you need to swim well and be in shape to climb there, otherwise you can rip your belly about this beauty!
For those who like parties - there is of course a disco every day, but it is indoors, stuffy, drinks are paid, there are no people. Friends went to Hurghada for a disco from Pegasus - it seems not very good. So party-goers have no place here.
Closer to 5 pm, the winged whales come to the shore in the lagoon - be careful! But they don’t seem to touch anyone ...they hang quietly near the bottom.
Sunbeds borrow at 8 am, otherwise not enough!
There will be questions - ask - I will answer. Have a nice holiday.
