Al Nahda Resort & Spa

We chose Al Nahda because we came from Jebel Shams and did not want to return to the capital right away and they offered a very good price online. As the photos looked nice, we decided to book. Oh boy were we surprised when we arrived at the gates of the resort. This place is huge! Just few examples - they give you a map so you could find your bungalow (and it still was not easy) and there are bicycles available on the property for reaching different parts of the resort. The check-in was smooth and the receptionist very welcoming and helpful. Their restaurant was closed for maintenance so they offered a breakfast in our chalet instead and this was perfect for us (preordering was very easy through Whatsapp). The food arrived right on time and they even added some small things in addition to what we ordered. Our bungalow was actually not a bungalow but a full size house with an enormous bedroom/living room, kitchen, bathroom with an small pool inside (!) and a nice terrace in front of the house. The parking was also in front of the house but it could get quite tight if all the houses are full as the pathways inside the living areas are rather tight. As there were not many guests during our stay, we had all the space in the world. From all the services they offer there, we only used the huge pool area which was really nice. And having the nature photography as a hobby, the early morning just after the sunrise was like a paradise for me. So many different birds flying around and so many beautiful locations for trying to capture the photos! All in all - a wonderful experience and Al Nahda definitely exceeded our expectations. The service was impeccable, lodging much more that we expected and the general areas of the resort absolutely beautiful. So maximum points from me and I definitely recommend this place.
