Novotel Yanbu is across the road from a seaside park and the Corniche. So, a great location for walking. For those who like adventure, keep going and you will find the North Corniche. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. Room service was good and fairly quick. There is a great pool and a gym to enjoy. The downstairs lobby has a large area for sitting and reading, drinking coffee etc, with many areas spreading over partitioned sections where you can find a quiet corner.
So many friendly staff- in the restaurant special thanks to Jayvee looked after me, and whipped up delicios banana smoothies and banana and date smoothies for me. Also thanks to Monjid who cheerfully delivered room service many times. If you like a quiet tranquil holiday, I recommend the location and ambience of the Yanbu Novotel.
