12 April 2008 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The best part of my experience at the Penguin Village was definitely the staff. Unfortunately, I was traveling with a VERY demanding person. They responded to all of the requests, no matter how irritating they must have been, with courtesy and professionalism. They were also people you could count on. When they said someone would pick you up at the airport, someone was there. When they booked a tour of St. Catherine's, you knew that it would happen. They were reliable, consistent, and good-natured.I was in a room with a patio overlooking the Red Sea. It cost a bit more than the other rooms - twice as much as a simple room twin beds with private/ensuite bathroom - and I think you might be able to find another room like it in Dahab with more amenities for the same price. That being said, I have to say I loved that room. It was steps away from the pedestrian's pathway along the water. After a day of activity, I would bring a drink up to my room, gaze out at the sea and sometimes catch a peak at Saudi Arabia. Life was good.

Liked: The staff was very friendly and helpful without being pushy or overbearing, the room was clean and comfortable, the location was ideal, the food at the restaurant adjoining the hotel was delicious, there was a whole range of activities available for booking at a reasonable price through the hotel, and if I could I would live there. It was easily the best place to stay in Dahab, and very well-priced.

30 July 2007 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The staff remember your name and you have about 4 people every day asking how you are, especially Adel the manager whos on his phone a lot but will always accomodate your request, there are lots of different tours to try and good discounts are on offer, in low season some of the discounts are awesome. I liked the free pickup too as it was a little intimidating getting off the bus to be met by loads of hotel touts. The restaurant is lovely and a great place to relax.
