Hotel ratings by criteria:
This is not my first time in Egypt, I have previously stayed at Laguna vista and magic life. She also lived several times in Dahab itself in private apartments. The latter is important, because, living outside the hotel, you understand what products appear in what season.
Comparing the experience of living and relaxing in Egypt with this hotel, I can not give it any other rating than the lowest.
We had a goal to stay in Dahab, so we chose this hotel, buying into 5 stars and reviews on this site (people, are you seriously praising it? Or are these custom articles? )
In order:
1. The worst thing is the disgusting food.
Food from dinner is ALWAYS (without any attempt to hide or embellish) served for lunch the next day. That is, not all, but what they did not eat, that is, the most tasteless. There are no fresh dishes, only leftovers from the evening.
2. On the first evening, they served koshari for hot and salad.
The husband approached the manager of the restaurant and told them to stop taking us for idiots, as this is food for the lowest strata of the population in Egypt. A serving of koshari at a lighthouse in Dahab costs £.5. This is food for the poor. And it is served in the hotel for cold and hot, hoping that tourists do not know life outside the hotel. On suckers, in other words. They admitted that we were right and didn't apply again. They were waiting for us to leave to continue, obviously.
3. We were in Egypt at the end of April. It's strawberry, mango, guava season. Fruit was given in the hotel: dates and oranges. Rarely bananas.
4. Many Arab families have a rest. I have nothing against them, just a warning so that you can take this into account when choosing a hotel. At the beginning of dinner, at all food distribution points, there is a line of Arabs, women in black clothes bathe in the pool. These are the features of their culture, it is up to you to accept or not.
5. Everyone quarreled with them about food: Russians, Italians.
Only none. The food is very poor and poor, they do not give fruit. I can eat oranges and dates with bananas at home.
6. I will describe a standard set of dishes for dinner: rice, potatoes, beef, fish fillet, stewed or boiled vegetables; a few salads, usually inedible. I demanded that at least olive oil be placed near the salads. They began to put through time. The cut vegetables themselves are the cheapest, of the worst quality. I know from the experience of living in the countryside and visiting markets.
6. The entrance to the water is only from the pontoon, there is no sandy beach, as in Laguna.
7. The hotel is in the distance, the taxi turns into an attraction for suckers. If in the lagoon the cost of a taxi is 10 pounds to a lighthouse, then here in the outskirts they call any cosmic price, realizing that you have no choice.
8. The rooms and the hotel fund itself are shabby, miserable, there are simply incredibly many flies everywhere.
We started complaining to friends in Dahab who live in Egypt most of the time.
They laughed at us, they said that this is the worst hotel and everyone knows about it. And what exactly is scolded for food in the very first place.
For regular swearing with them, we were offered to improve the category of the room. We refused and asked just not to spoil our vacation and feed us normally. Nothing has changed....
As a result, if you need to be in Dahab, then it is better either to the private sector or to Dahabey (this is what the locals advised). There is a lagoon, sand, everything is close, for 10 pounds at any time and you can get to any restaurant in Dahab, and to fruit.
Separately, I will say that the Russians, who were in Egypt for the first time, rested with us. They ALL liked it. Obviously, there is nothing to compare with, and there is no understanding of what exactly they give for dinner either. I wouldn't be surprised if they write a positive review.
I would highly NOT recommend staying at this hotel: ruin your holiday. You can eat potatoes and bananas at home ... .
