Four of us stayed with Penguin in two, common-shower, camp-style, double rooms. The common bathroom is very accessible and cleaned frequently. The rooms are simple but clean and very cheap. All of the staff at Penguin was very helpful and friendly. We arranged transportation from and to Cairo, as well as a couple of side trips in the area, through... more

We stayed in this hotel for two nights in October 2009. It has a great location right on the Red Sea, with a fun Bedoin style restaurant overlooking the sea. Staff is willing to arrange a variety of tours. We chose to snorkel the Blue Hole, which was amazing, but probably overpriced (all they do is drive you out to... more

Decent place, rooms were not the best, but you get what you pay for. Tiny bathrooms, cracks in wall, but relatively clean. Good location, breakfast was included and very good. Jimmy at the front desk, very helpful and friendly... excellent service. Good dive shop at hotel. Restaurant hotel was good and on water. more

The hotel was nice. The staff are very willing to help you. We arrived and they were practically ready to wisk us off to our introductory dive. It is easy to plan excusions and you're right on the sea so you can simply grab a snorkel and made a day of swimming. There are lots of kitties at the restaurant... more

Penguin village has a room for every type of clients.. and thats a very good thing! I went to the cheapest room (really cheap for Dahab standards) and it was very clean and with a fan. The only problem was that the room was smelly.. I asked to change of room, but the others were the same. Service is very... more

Penguin has good value, clean rooms and nice staff helpful staff at reception. I was taken ill one afternoon and they called a Dr out to my room who sorted me out with a few injections. If you can I would advise getting a sea facing room as even though they are slightly more expensive the views are great and... more
