Happy Life Village hotel is often celebrated for its beautiful and serene atmosphere, ideal for festivities and leisurely activities. Many guests commend the clean and well-kept rooms, though there are mentions of outdated furnishings and a scarcity of amenities. The hotel's staff earns high marks for their exceptional service, contributing to the overall welcoming environment.
While the array of amenities, including snorkeling and diving, are popular, concerns have been raised about unreliable WiFi and limited beach umbrellas. Despite some value and location-related issues, the picturesque setting with mountain views remains a highlight for visitors.

From the moment I arrived till I left I have experienced kindness with all staff members. They really engage with everyone even if they don'tspeak your language. Particular note goes to receptionist Saad and Mobi, porter( I don't know his name) Abraham ans Samuel at the pool bar(Roberto Baggio and Ronaldo:-)) chefs at the restaurant and the lifeguards. The location is really nice: reef and mountains made a wonderful landscape. Travellers get your mask and flint and enjoy the beauty of this place! It's also 5 min walking from 3 pools. Different kind of excursion are available from 3 pools ( I did not engage the hotel rep) and centre of Dahab, but you have to strongly negotiate to get a good deal :-) The spa at the hotel is nice, I have not experience it but everyone I met said so. Food is healthy and simple. There is a variety too. All inclusive is a good deal and gives you peace in mind even if you don't drink much. The senior management should consider a bit of flexibility with charges of drink on departure day for visitor whom arrive late and miss food and drinks on first day and have a late flight when leaving. After 12 am they would give you a voucher for lunch but charge for coffe and/or drinks if you consume at the pool bar. They would cut your bracelet and staff would not be authorized to dispence a coffe without charging. I WAS happy to pay €20 extra to keep the room for 4 extra hours. The building itself is kept well despite being outdated. Do not expect a modern environment. There are 3 free shuttle to go to Dahab every day from the resort, but you need to book them on the day from 8 am( better be there earlier and wait if you want to book for 5pm ride) I would definitely go back. Thank you all for the wonderful week.

Hotel is located in a picturesque place. There are mountains, sea and coral reefs with a lot of different kinds of fishes. Employees of the hotel are very friendly, benevolent. Rooms are not new but clean. The rooms are cleaned every day. Сleaning men leave two bottles of pure water. The good food is in the restaurant. There are fruits and vegetables, tasty sweets and others. You can have drinks in the bar on the beach and near the pool (fizzy drinks, beer, cocktails) . Every day in the evening the bus goes to Dahab from the reception building.Every evening at 9 p.m beach bar hosts parties. I was very glad that I had chosen this hotel.

The area in which the hotel is situated is stunningly gorgeous. The water is crystal clear from the dock, so much so that you can look down and see the coral and fish. It’s nestled right up to the mountains and scenery wise was like a dream. The room is adequate for what the price is. The buffet is also adequate and provides a plethora of options.
However, I was disgusted to find some kind of orange/red goo on my shower towel. Clean linen at minimum should be a requirement.
Most upsettingly was our interactions with the staff. I normally read these kind of complaints and assume that the writer is an unreasonable “Karen” type person but I hope this comes across as not being that. With the exception of the man who showed us to our room, we had negative interactions with every staff member. Being berating about paying for drinks while actively trying to pay for them, having the front desk clerk roll his eyes at us and even simple questions lead to being spoken to rudely. We discussed between us if it was something we were doing or causing unintentional offense but we weren’t able to come up with anything. We are American and English is our only language. My fiancé has a religious sleeve tattoo and we both were wearing cross necklaces…was this it? We weren’t sure. There are many cultural differences but we embrace those as we chose to come to Egypt to experience something other than our norm. That being said, every other interaction we have had during our time in Egypt other during our stay has been positive.
Dahab was beautiful and we wished we had more time to spend soaking up the Red Sea…just not at Happy Life Village.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and unfortunately, my experience was far from what I expected. While the location is stunning, with beautiful mountainous surroundings and excellent snorkeling opportunities, several significant issues made our stay disappointing.
Food: The most concerning aspect was the quality of food offered. It was apparent that the hotel was using frozen pre-cooked meals, which were then served to guests. The highlight of this issue was during breakfast when we were served sour fruit salad. This was unacceptable and could have caused serious health issues. Although the main dining room manager apologized, this doesn't excuse serving potentially harmful food to guests. Moreover, everywhere we went, drinks were served in single-use plastic cups, and despite having bins for waste separation, the hotel did not practice recycling.
During our stay, the coffee machine broke down, leaving guests without proper coffee for two days. There was no coffee machine available in the main dining room or on the beach, only at the pool bar. The only option was Nescafe, which was disappointing.
Beach: The beach itself is in a gorgeous location. However, many of the beach umbrellas were in terrible condition. The pier was also in a state of disrepair, with wooden planks falling apart and stairs that were rusty and had holes. Some stairs were covered in barnacles, posing a risk of injury. Additionally, local guests who were afraid of the water crowded around the steps, making it difficult for others to exit the sea, which was very unpleasant as we had to push through them.
- The shuttle bus to Dahab was misleading. The schedule at the reception stated only two runs per evening, but it actually went more frequently. - We left early in the morning and did not receive the breakfast packages. - The WiFi was non-functional throughout our stay. - Given these issues, the hotel does not meet the expected standards and should not be offered by travel agencies.
Room: Our room was also in poor condition. We found ants in the closet and informed the receptionist, but nothing was done to resolve the issue. Additionally, our door was damaged, and the bathroom was in a dreadful state.

I visited the hotel for the second time, the first time with my daughter and her family, now with my husband, he was also satisfied, the hotel has a very pleasant and homely atmosphere, the staff is nice and friendly, we met familiar faces again, which is the basis of the good functioning of the management and the reason , why come back. We want to thank all the employees for their great care, whether they are the guys in the restaurant, always in a good mood and willing to bring you drinks, in the bars, special thanks to the guys at the beach bar for the great mood they can give all day 😘 Mahmoud to the bar by the pool, to the guys upstairs in the bar who manage the onslaught of guests after dinner, a special thank you to Maged 👍, the kitchen, the beach staff, the beautiful garden, which is so well maintained, must be highlighted, for that a big thank you to all the gardeners who take care all day , they cut, they water, in short, thanks to everyone. We will be very happy to come back.
The beach is maintained, you can swim and especially swim from the shore, who is not very mobile, a big plus is that you don't have to leave the pier. Underwater life is sufficient. The kitchen could add a little variety, the food is repeated every day, but you can choose. Rooms cleaned every day, thanks to our clean boy in building 4🤩.
Thank you for a beautifully spent, peaceful holiday Jaroslava & Samah😘🐟

This hotel is fine, as you can expect from typical Egyptian hotels: food is not the best, but enough good for being full, no good internet connections, swans from towels, and a few pools.
People who like the sea can be satisfied to see red lionfish and muraena, warm water, and a nice view. To pluses of this hotel, I can add the location, cuz it's no far away from Dahab city and the hotel gives a free bus every evening for a few hours.
On the other hand, the hotel's administrators are not professional and friendly, water slides for kids are not really big and interesting.

We had a great time and meet some awesome people. The staff is so fun and friendly. The food is eatable, but if you are a vegetarian - you’ll eat rice and fries. But there are nice places in Dahab and you can get a free bus from the reception three times a day.
There is a nice coral reef just at the shore. I saw an octopus and heard about the turtle but didn’t see one.

We came home last week from a fantastic 2 week holiday in Happy Life Village. This was our first holiday with my husband having to use a wheelchair and we were nervous about how it would work out. From arriving to departing we couldn’t have been happier with the help we received! Everyone went out of their way to assist us, in particular the young man in the yellow top who pushed the chair over the cobbled poolside area several times a day. I’d also like to thank the waiter who brought me a cup of peppermint tea because he heard me coughing. Our only disappointment was that the wheelchair couldn’t cope with the sandy path down to the beach so we couldn’t access that. It’s an observation rather than a complaint as I know it only affects a tiny minority of guests. Many thanks for all the help in making our holiday so enjoyable. We would certainly like to return!

Disgusting cooking. They manage to ruin the products they cook with. Fish are not cleansed of their entrails, all bitter. The milk is diluted with water so almost transparent already. The juices are diluted to transparency. It's terribly cooked. Vegetables are digested and undercooked at the same time. How do you cook them in a pan with a slide? Guys, stop translating products. I know it's a very frugal three but cooking like this is just a waste of food! The furniture is old all the time. There are few pluses and there are empty seats everywhere. Showers and hot water for 5* conders too. Wine beer should be asked for, for that you need to track down the giver. No tea or coffee tonight. You're late for the start of the meal and then you don't have to come and eat everything in half an hour. Hotel for amateur and very loyal guests. Basically all is well and the pier and the sea and the low density of campers but the food is just tears
