Review of Happy Life Village Dahab 3*

I want to share experience relaxation, the hotel HappyLifeVillage, which we visited in October 2007, the still fresh memories. Reviews for very little, connect this with the fact that Russians there rests a little (that can also be explained by the fact that in all the books, which offered us, representatives of tour operator, simply does not exist, although the hotel itself is very long). Rest mainly Czechs, poles, Germans, British, etc. By stars tour operator «Pegasus» by this hotel as 3 and a half stars, what generally and corresponds to reality, although in some references he appears as a four-star. From Sharm El-Sheikh and Dahab about 100 km, and from Dahab to the hotel at about 10, but no. This is just a primer in the wilderness that takes no more than 30 km/H. The Hotel is in the desert, near nothing, except a few hovels of the local aboriginal people. So just advice for those who love excursions — has to prepare money for a taxi in Dahab, tour buses in the hotel is not allowed! We (me, wife and sister) went on a tour one time with a trip «down there» helped us a tour operator (6$), and back to the us for the same sum was taken to the local taxi (auction started with 10$). Room. Turned out to be two very spacious and furnished very warm, but not new. In the room there are TV, of ours was only channel RTR Planeta. There are safe, which originally appeared only as a paid and jaunt on the Desk, and near here and it's free. Room cleaned daily, towels changed every day and the linen for six days changed 1 times. Of hygiene products offered shampoo and soap. The territory. Houses all made the same type, all double-Decker. There is a swimming pool medium in size with a section for children and a small children's area (swings etc). The beach is mostly with small pebbles, corals begin at 5 metres from the shore, although in a few places you can safely swim at a depth of passing a small pier. By the way he was in a terrible state, but it is very good to watch and feed fish. On the territory there is a dive club, which offers car masks, flippers, snorkels, etc. Excursions and trips with dives, including the famous «Blue hole». But the mask we brought, and corals around the hotel and so very beautiful, no wonder somewhere constantly brought the party beginners. Beach umbrellas, deck chairs, their way more than the rest, so a problem to find a convenient place was not. And one more thing — to the left from the hotel is a chain of mountains, so the sun goes down about 1.5 hours earlier, about 16 hours. Note if you have a bronze tan. Food. On the territory of 1 main restaurant and two bars — near the pool and on the beach. Diet is quite modest, diverse it also will not name, but we always find something tasty for itself especially well produces rice, fish and of course sweets. All drinks in glasses, but if you want to immediately bottle, and it is already paid, and no matter what — vodka or just water. Vodka, by the way with a laconic name Volga. In no case do not take what is called «juice» is strongly concentrate diluted with different tastes, it is better to just water to drink. Accordingly, and all alcoholic cocktails with these juice is better not to drink. Therefore, depending on the mood we chose beer, Cola or rum with the same Cola. Wine did not like the red — just creepy. Service. Left a good impression. From hotel employees nobody Russian could not speak. Pleased with the hospitality and unobtrusive service, some quite homely atmosphere. Resting in the past year in Hurghada at LeMeridien, constant collision with haughty personnel and permanent выклянчиванием money. Not here, the waiters will come to the table, drinks, everything is fast, with a smile brings, is quickly removed. Used the services of doctor — again without any problems offered thermometer, medicines and patiently listened to our verbiage in English about a possible cold. Miscellaneous. Three times a day the hotel offers free transfer to Dahab for all comers. Will definitely use! First, to sit in a variety of fish restaurants on the coast. Secondly, to buy Souvenirs. And they are very cheap, for example, a kilogram of tobacco Smoking Shisha I was 5 (! ) $. As the Council, except desperately bargain, I can tell that try to buy something in specialized shops, where all is. The difference in price initially be felt. In addition, we visited excursion «the mountain of Moses+monastery св. Катерины». As it turned out it is not just a tour, and the whole tourist route. Us tour operator is not warned. Why should only the entry in the recommendations as a Shoe you can use coral Slippers (!? ). Mandatory shoes or sneakers on a good shoes, clothes really (not according to the Egyptian standards) should be warm, it is advisable to have a blanket or quilt. Great to have a thermos with tea ($1 for plastic Cup on the top) and toilets (rate 2$ (! ) per visit). On the mountain 2 lift — camel trail and trail monks. If you climb the first you can help faith, a camel or a good physical training, then climb on the second simply unrealistic, but to go down on her a must! The rise constantly bump on camels and products of their activity, the number of animals on this path unreal! On top of a very beautiful, but very cold. The monastery passed almost without strength, probably in about 15 minutes. I think that it is better to go into it on a separate trip. Charter our detained 10.5 hours and we instead of 12:00 flew at 22:35. We knew about it in advance, but the prospect of sitting in the lobby after the check-out time another seven hours to please us could not. Of course at 12:15 called us and asked to leave the room, but a miracle! ) lanyards, which allowed us to be considered as guests none of us cut off and was not going, we might as well have a drink, to go to a restaurant. Therefore, this delay we generally perceived as another day of rest. Total. If you непритязательны, you would like to swim in the sea, show corals, a bit of a tan, you are not a fan of excursions and animation does not have any value, and most importantly — you do not have much money, then go to HappyLifeVillage you like it.
