Sea view, aqua, beach, night activity Fast reaction from staff

There was a bad smell coming from the sink in our room's bathroom, which was unpleasant. Also, there was water leakage from the AC. The breakfast didn't include espresso or coffee, which was disappointing. Additionally, dinner for half-board guests didn't include juice, which I haven’t experienced at any other hotel before.

This was my third stay at the hotel, mainly because of its excellent location. I also really enjoyed the dinner options. The aqua park and kids' area were perfect for our child and made the stay very enjoyable for families.

We are vegetarian (vegan at home but prepared to be more flexible on holiday) and the buffet seemed very focused on meat and fish, with few vegetarian dishes available apart from rice, potatoes and vegetables. However the pasta bar was great and the salads in the evening were delicious. I appreciated being able to use the gym but was disappointed that the equipment had not been maintained; several of the machines didn't work (broken cables, missing parts). Most of the gym equipment is TechnoGym - a good brand - so I imagine it would be expensive to mend or replace. I didn't like the amount of single use plastic - I understand the need for this by the pool for safety reasons, but don't see why there was so much plastic (glasses, teaspoons) in the main restaurant. There was no evidence of any recycling taking place either. The only other minor thing was that the piped (mostly instrumental) music in the restaurant (inside and outside) was very repetitive and would get stuck in my head all day! More frequent changes of music would be good :) However these are all minor things, and the reason why I gave 9 rather than 10 out of 10! Thank you to all the hard working staff at Happy Life Village who made our holiday a great one!

Happy Life Village offers incredible value for money. The staff were almost without exception friendly, hard working, attentive and helpful. Beds very comfortable, rooms, balconies and bathrooms kept very clean. We appreciated the complementary plates of biscuits and fruit left in our room every few days. Snorkelling from the reef was amazing, crystal clear water and an abundance of marine life, my husband even saw a turtle. The beach was kept very clean and the staff on the beach looked after us and made sure we had towels, access to shade and shelter. The swimming pools are well maintained and very clean. We didn't join in with the activities provided by the animation team, they encouraged us to participate but left us alone and did not hassle us. We made use of the free shuttle bus into Dahab a couple of times, this made us appreciate the peaceful, out of town location of Happy Life Village. We requested a quiet location on site and were very happy with the rooms we were allocated. We would definitely go back and would highly recommend it to others as a value for money option.

However, I was disappointed with the inaccurate information provided by the front desk staff regarding the hotel’s activities and events, as well as the hotel shuttle service departure time. This inaccurate information forced me to call a private driver at an extra cost, even though there was a hotel shuttle available at multiple times for free. I feel their lack of professionalism was disappointing.

This is my second time staying at Happy Life Village, and it's totally a great value for money! Great location, nice buffet for breakfast and lunch, and the staff is super friendly.

We spent another (third) wonderful holiday in Happy Life Village. We love the amazing views, coral reefs with beautiful fish, the relaxing pool, and delicious food. But we always feel there at home, first and foremost, due to the lovely helpful friendly staff - the receptionists, barristers, beach boys, waiters, restaurant staff... The chats and time spent with them is most precious and unforgettable.

Happy Life Hotel is a highly recommended place. A very beautiful and big place. Kind service at the reception, and in the dining room, always helpful and always nice. The hotel has three large and luxurious pools. Hawaiian staff and fun and funny entertainment. We will definitely come back again.

The internet, very weak. They need to improve the quality

It's the second time in a few months. Very good attention and service. Sa'ad from the reception got us an upgrade to a room with sea view and take advantage of seeing the beautiful sunrise. The food is good and abundant but above all things, the beach and the corals Very good and recommended

more shuttle trips to Dahab midtown during the day and the night will be very helpful, and will offer many flexible options to go there from the village, only two trips a day exists now, so we had to hire private transportation to go there most of the time.

Happy life Village is an excellent place, the food was really good, and the staff members were extremely helpful and welcoming, and they were eager to provide a very good service whenever we need it. The beach is exceptional, the coral reef and clarity of the water there is unmatched. This place is a very good value for money deal, I totally recommend it.

nothing really

very quiet good dive centre

The half finished construction sites nearby. The proximity of the police and security - presumably to ‘protect’ Western tourists but an uneasy reminder that Egypt is currently a police state. Extras - like the excursion I took to St. Catherine’s monastery - are inevitably overpriced when booked via the hotel.

Good food. A laid back atmosphere. A little off the beaten track (good). Warm friendly staff
