I read reviews before going to any hotel. Before this trip, the reviews helped me make the right decision and weigh the pros and cons before risking spoiling my vacation.
After reading a lot of positive reviews and very few negative ones, I went to Nubian Village, believing that the negative reviews are written by losers and bores. Now I believe that positive reviews are written by people who were paid for this work. Please note: there are no details in paid reviews. Moreover, they write about maids, although only men clean the hotel. I'll try to be objective.
From the positive points:
1) very beautiful territory;
2) there is a lagoon where you can sit in the water while the pier opens in the afternoon; (in the first half of the day there are big waves that can hit the stairs of swimmers, so most often the pier is closed)
3) rich underwater world near the pier;
4) varied food in the restaurant;
5) there is always enough space on the beach, no matter what time you come;

6) left a bag with documents in the room, the money is not in the safe - everything is intact
7) the hotel manager Tamara quickly responds to requests, trying to help as much as possible
8) animators actively entertain guests, have conversations with vacationers, for whom is it very important to talk about life?
9) live music in the evenings - saxophonist Roberto plays. Roberto also sings, he has a beautiful voice;

Now for the bad:
1) check-in takes place after 14.00. Even if they did not sleep all night, having spent on the road. $60 can speed up check-in! ! ! I thought the man who came on the same flight was joking. Not! Then the manager at the reception offered me. I did not pay, like that man: “It is not known what other number they will give, then you will run to return your money. » This is the unrecorded income of the managers who deal with the settlement. It was, of course, a shame that the Arabs who arrived after me were settled earlier.
Be ready.
2) Only at 10.00, when breakfast was over in the restaurant, we were able to drink a cup of tea after a sleepless night, we could not qualify for breakfast - it’s not allowed.
3) on many bungalows and buildings there are cellular antennas (if it is important for someone whether he will be exposed to radiation during the rest);
4) there is no queue to the restaurant only for breakfast;
5) the air conditioner blows from the ceiling directly onto the bed. Everyone, without exception, immediately feels where their throat is. On the third day, kind people suggested that you need to stand on a chair and turn the air conditioner grille up;
6) PESTICIDE SPRAYING takes place on the territory every evening! Reading one of the reviews, I thought that this was not true, did not attach any importance to this.
7) Towels taken in the morning can be returned only at 18.00
This creates inconvenience - it's hard to carry, because the territory is large. Left on the beach for two weeks - everything is fine.

On the last day, 3 towels were STOLEN by their own compatriots! Sent the kids to the beach while packing. They come running: “Uncle drove us, said that this is his place and it is not clear why I hung the bag over the sunbeds he occupied! » A healthy “Christian” with a well chain around his neck and a cross on the floor of his palm claimed that it was he who came to take these very places at 5 in the morning. Gentlemen, there is a beach police, do not take risks! In my case, Tamara and animator Andrey helped me. Then the manager Tamara showed me a photo of tea bags, towels, etc. taken out of the restaurant. The feeling is that people were preparing all this for wholesale. I thought that rich people are resting here, who were able to pay such a lot of money for the tour. BUT it turns out that the reasoning is as follows: “I paid such a lot of money, so I can take everything that I like and come in handy! » Therefore, Russians are treated with disdain – the hotel staff knows everything.
If you do not want to be disturbed on the beach by employees of the fitness center, hairdresser, massage, etc. , you must take the “DO NOT DISTURB” sign from the boy who gives out the towels. Remember that these people have such a job - to offer you a service. No need to be rude and send, as one tourist advised. These "barkers" have a higher education - a doctor, an engineer came up to us, but did not ask the rest.
