| "A beautiful appartment, perfect location.
The terrace is amazing.
The hotel reception organised taxis from and to the airport, which helped to make it a completely stress-free holiday.
We didnt want to leave, and are trying to work out how soon we can go back....

"All went very well at the villa: what an absolutely beautiful place!
Will definitely be recommending it to friends. Particularly impressed with the terrace and the fabulous view...and also the lovely furniture.
Mohammed was very helpful, and all the staff at the hotel were lovely.
Cleaning was a bit erratic, but fine for our needs.
Thanks for your help too
Jane, Ben, and Robin

"Great location, fantastic reef for snorkelling right on your doorstep. Good outside area fronting the property for kids to run around in, overlooking the sea.
Property is good with air/con and kitchen working well. Beds a little hard but ok.
Good beach 5mins away by the ever regular taxi services to and from. Very well looked ater by Mohammed, Havez and the hotel team.
If the nearby health centre could buy a different pan pipes CD, it may give more variety to their daily playlist, but volume not an issue so no major problem."

The music from the beach holistic health tent should not be audible from the villa, as agreed with their management - if there is any issue with this please tell the Seaview Hotel staff, who will be happy to assist

"The flat is a good size & the terrace lovely, with great views. It was a shame that the massage parlour opposite played Leo Sayer & similar naff music! All we needed was there. There is no need to cook as all the restaraunts are great & very cheap. It was a shame that the curtains had just been tied up rather than put on poles as we couldnt pull them in either bedroom, also the shower was pretty hopeless. There was loads of hot water & plenty of pressure but a hopeless shower head & no curtain which meant the water went every where. The staff at Seaview hotel were lovely & we were made to feel like fully paid up guests! The pool was a bit cold in April but very clean & ideal for our children."

Thankyou very much for your feedback and your email - Im really glad you enjoyed your holiday.
Im sorry about the music - I just want to clarify that the massage parlour is not dodgy! (Egypt is a very conservative country). It is a tented area offering ayurvedic/reflexology massages on the beach run by the spa hotel next door. I have asked the management of Seaview hotel to ask the spa hotel to stop playing music on the beach. This area of Dahab is a quiet, family area and it sounds very out of place, we would certainly not appreciate that when we stay in the villa.
[updat e - the spa hotel have agreed to play their music quietly. For future guests please ask the Seaview Hotel staff to assist if loud music is played again]
Curtains - they are on poles and they should work fine - Im really sorry you had difficulty working them and wish you had asked the hotel staff to assist. I am not sure why they were tied back and have asked the staff to make sure that they are easy to use.
Shower - the bathroom is designed as a wet bathroom as is the custom in Egypt/North Africa. So we dont have a shower curtain on the inside edge of the bath. Im glad there was good pressure and hot water. Ive asked the staff to check the shower head but I think you mean that it sprayed rather than was faulty, but they will make sure that it is in good working order.
Im glad the hotel staff were lovely - Ill pass on your kind message as they really appreciate good feedback
best wishes

"Lovely appartment and the staff at the sea view hotel attached were superb and couldnt do enough to help. Location was good although I usually stay at the other end of town in assalla village which is less windy in March but all in all the location was good. Close to the banks and supermarkets and some great restaurants. I would like to have had a small bedouin style seating area though on the outside tiled area as there were only 2 sun loungers which werent always practical, especially as I had a few friends round and the bedouin area in the corner of the outside area would have been great to smoke sheesha and chill in. Thanks though, had a great time."

Thankyou very much for your review, and Im really glad you had a lovely holiday.
re Sun loungers/bedouin seating - Im really sorry that it wasnt clear that the hotel staff can bring up extra sunloungers/tables/rugs etc for terrace seating. I have asked the staff to make sure that this is mentioned to guests and I will also add a note to the arrival instructions email.
We really hope that guests will ask the hotel staff to assist with anything that would make their stay more comfortable - we want you to enjoy staying in the villa as much as we do!
best wishes

"Great location at the quieter end of Dahab. Everything within walking distance. Staff at adjoining hotel very friendly and helpful. Villa was fine with very comfortable bed. Could be slightly better equipped, for example a table and chairs on the terrace would have been nice. Only a gas hob for cooking, no oven or microwave, but we ate out most of the week anyway. Plenty of choice of places to eat all within 5 or 10 minute walk."

Thankyou very much for your review and we are really glad you enjoyed your holiday.
Im really sorry there wasnt a table and chairs on the terrace - there should have been, and Ive asked the manager in Egypt to make sure there are for future guests. Ive also asked him to look into getting a microwave.
Best wishes

| "Sea View villa is in a really nice location in Dahab, far enough from the main strip to be nice and quiet but close enough to have a nice stroll along the promenade to dinner. Its attatched to a well run hotel in which the staff are very friendly and do everything they can to help you.
The villa is well equipped and very comfortable with a stunning terrace overlooking the sea. It comfortably sleeps 4 but we actually slept 5 with one in the lounge.
We really enjoyed our stay at sea view villa."

"Only put a heather in the winter it is too cold. Also my recommondation is to put an oven and or gas cooker."

Thankyou very much for this feedback, we are glad that you enjoyed your stay in the villa.
We have now upgraded the electric hotplates to a gas hob (we have not included an oven partly for space and partly because there is not much oven cookable food available in Dahab).
There is a heater available for use in the property -we are very sorry that this was not clear and will add this information to the welcome pack in the villa.
In addition, we encourage guests to ask the staff at the hotel that adjoins the villa for anything that they need to make their stay more comfortable -the staff will do everything they can to help you enjoy your stay.
Best wishes
