I flew with two kids 5 and 7 years old to Al Nabilah. I really liked the hotel. Would like to go back there again. In a couple of years, it will be upset (less than 3 parts of the entire land is still built up) and will become no worse, if not better than the Golden Five. A very beautiful town in the Arabic style, created by a French architect. We lived in bungalow 1201. They settled us right away. In this hotel, unlike all I have seen before, very friendly guys at the Reception. They speak Russian. In general, everyone tries to speak Russian, at least a few words. Everyone is smiling and wishing you a pleasant stay. Except for the guys at the Aurora bar. I didn't like them, and I didn't like the bar itself. But this is my subjective opinion. Room: large, beautiful, with a large veranda and lawn. To the restaurant 5 minutes. To the sea, well, maybe 7. Walking everywhere is pleasant, we have never used the minibus plying along the paths of the hotel. The weather was plus 24, the water was plus 25. The wind was not significant. Restaurant: I really liked the food. We arrived on time. Everything that I eat, and that my children eat, was present. Lots of delicious meat dishes. An Italian chef prepares delicious pasta. Enough fruits and vegetables. Donuts are something! Well, I won’t even talk about baking. Out of competition. Animation Entertainment: animation - super! In the morning, exercises on the beach, then aqua aerobics in the sea (very intense and fun, led by an Italian girl), then crazy game, then beach dancing, then all sorts of darts, volleyballs, etc. the kids at this time can be picked up by girls from the Mini Club - Christina (Bulgarian Russian-speaking girl) and Sarah (Italian girl). They go to the beach under a special fungus to do something there. Then they go to the bar to have a bite to eat and drink cocktails. In short, if you want to get rid of the children for this time - please. the animator girls are very good, cool and you can immediately see that they sincerely love children! But if children want to do exercises with you or aqua or dance on adult animation - you are welcome! Also very fun!
Bars: we didn’t eat much in bars, it seemed to me that there was nothing much to eat there. We really did not strive - we cooked very tasty food in the main restaurant. If your child doesn’t really eat from the common table (my ate everything in a row), then you can take him muesli with hot milk, yogurt with fruit and jam, pancakes, donuts, pretty tasty soups, and also take hot milk, add a piece of couscous, raisins and powdered sugar - the porridge turns out delicious! There is nothing to say about meat and chicken on the grill - very tasty. Bay: this is certainly the highlight of the hotel! Closed on three sides, gently sloping sandy bottom, without wind, the water is crystal clear. For lovers of corals - 100 m from the bay there is a living coral reef. There is another lower bay behind the fish restaurant. You need special shoes to enter. I went there with the kids in the afternoon. There are many beautiful corals on the shore, from which my children built something, and I lay on a sunbed and read a book. This beach is very cozy and secluded. Well equipped. Cute scourge. Gave my kids a starfish each. Children calmly entered this bay barefoot to the waist, splashing around. Pools: there are 4 of them. One is heated, the one with slides. Slides are great - for adults and kids. For children: a good mini-club (lots of toys, cartoons, etc. and very nice girls Kristina and Sarah. They know how to entertain children of any age), open from 10 to 12 on the beach and from 15 to 17 in the Club. Mini disco in the evening. Very funny. Good playground. Nice kids pool with slides for kids. For young people: well animation of course and in the evening disco until the last client in Guddinis. It is located so that you can not hear the disco from the bungalow, very well. Stores: I will not write about goods and prices. It's the same everywhere - bargain. Although the prices are not cheap, because as long as there is no competition. But the sales guys themselves are smart, excellent interlocutors, with a wonderful sense of humor. I highly recommend David, Peter and Maxim. Even if they don’t have something, you ask, they will deliver it to you without problems and cheaper. We became very good friends with them. The guys are Coptic Christians. Very educated and educated. They know Russian well.
Well, what else to write? Very nice administrator Tatyana, it is immediately clear that she really wants to take into account all the wishes of tourists. The owner also often comes over with an inspection. he doesn't care what happens there. Contingent: 40 percent Russian, 30 percent Italians, the rest Germans, Poles, Slovaks, Ukrainians. No discomfort. After 2-3 days, the language barrier disappears in general and you yourself are surprised - how do I understand them ?!

I would love to go back to Al Nabilah. I think she will only get better. of course there are drawbacks. But for me they are insignificant. So I give something in the hotel 5, and something 4. If you are going to go with children - do not hesitate - you are in Al Nabila !!!!
Small recommendations to the hotel: in the bathroom in the shower, make a shelf for shampoo and a curtain - it blows very cold in winter. Maybe put a rubber mat in the shower. I did not find anything to plug the bath. On the veranda or in the bathroom, make a rope for drying swimsuits. And of course, cover up all the cracks and deal with the ants. The faucet in the bathroom of room 1201 (which is on the bathroom itself) is very poorly attached, spinning in different directions, it needs to be cemented and sealed. I also want to advise you to reconsider your attitude to cutting bracelets at exactly 12.00. We left at 13.30. And we were entitled to another free lunch. I had to be in the lobby at 13.15. I decided that I would not have time to feed two children in 15 minutes and wanted to go to the Aurora bar at 12.00, where at that time they give french fries and hot dogs and calmly feed the children there instead of lunch. In short, without a bracelet, they didn’t even give a glass of juice. And this despite the fact that the hotel is in the desert and there simply cannot be strangers on the territory. Also, the assortment of snacks in Aurora should be expanded - you can’t ask them for french fries. And where are the salads, pastries, pizza and more? And of course, I would like more shops, so that healthy competition gives rise to real bargaining.
I wish the hotel good luck and prosperity. I hope this is not my last visit. I will definitely recommend it for families with children!
