Nubian Island Hotel

Good points, the weather. Rooms smelled strongly of tobacco smoke, staff couldn't care less, and were quite rude. Was ill from day 2 out of 14 reps were useless, a total waste of money

Nubian Island is a 4 star hotel that consists of about 250 rooms. The Bungalow rooms and apartments are located over an area of about 500m. The gardens and the grounds of the hotel are very pretty. The rooms run from one end of the hotel grounds to the other, and they are situated close to the 2 swimming pools.

I would say that 80% of the hotel staff are useless. I know that when you go to an All Inclusive hotel to get a better service you are expected to tip at the restaurant and bar, but at this place they appeared not to be interested in doing anything. Even when you are crossing their palms with money.

The animation team did not speak any more English than "hello", and again offered very little day time or evening activities. There was entertainment in the evening. But apart from bingo, none of it catered for English speaking people. The whole hotel appears to accommodate Russian and Italian tourists over British people.

The hotel does benefit from a beach, but you are unable to walk into it easily from the sand, and you would benefit from buying a pair of sea shoes or taking some with you. You can buy them at most places in the town or the hotel. The cost is £7 at the hotel, and between £4 - £5 in the town.

Overall, there are not many good points to this hotel, and I will not be returning.
