We went to the Happy Life Hotel with a friend for the purpose of active diving (freediving). Placed in a double room with two rooms - a bedroom and a living room. The location of the house was the closest to the sea. Furniture, plumbing in the room in good condition, daily cleaning. The food is not gourmet, but quite acceptable, once every couple of days the chefs prepared something special. In the all-inclusive option for lunch and dinner, you can order red and white wine in addition to food, I personally liked red more, as well as beer. The beach bar offers unlimited vodka, rum, gin, cocktails and other drinks. The main contingent of the hotel is Europeans, these are Germans, British, Czechs, etc. , Russians are rare.
Excellent opportunities for diving and freediving! Right in front of the hotel there are wonderful corals, within 500 meters to the left and to the right there are 5 dive sites, a little further away there are more. Even simple snorkeling on the surface will bring pleasure. If you wish, you can dive with cylinders - there is a dive club on site where you can rent any equipment. In Dahab itself, there are a dozen and a half dive clubs with which you can arrange diving. A 40-minute drive away are the famous dive sites Blue Hole and Canyon, you can go there either with one of the dive clubs or by ordering a jeep at the reception on your own. The cost of the trip is 200 pounds, that is, about 1000 rubles. for the whole car, the driver will wait for you as long as necessary.
A free bus leaves for Dahab three times a day, it is advisable to pre-register at the reception. If you leave back on the same bus, then there will be 1.5 hours of free time in the city, but you can, if you wish, leave for Dahab in the afternoon and return in the evening. The hotel also has a massage room and a sauna, but this is for a fee. Show programs and animations are rare, so the hotel is more suitable for those who know what to do with themselves or want to take a break from the hustle and bustle.

An excellent choice for a quiet holiday and diving enthusiasts!
