Retac Qunay Dahab Resort & Spa

Great beach, nice pools, average meals. Asked for a cheese cake once, got a frozen peice of cake! Had massage booked, could hear the masseur yawning as doing her massage and had to ask her to put on some music... No proper fixed prices, one always has the feeling that he's paying more than what he should for example $25 for 24 hour internet in my room (which changed to 48 hours for no specific reason, just as a favor... Which makes one wonder how much should it be really?!) and then when I asked to have it for 7 extra hours before I leave the hotel, there was no way they'd let me, I was offered a "discount" for 7 hours, $20! I still have no idea how do they come up with the prices! Having said the above it's a calm and peaceful resort to relax with beautiful view.

Very quite and relaxing atmosphere. No loud music. Chic and stylish design, blend of European and ethnic, high attention to detail. Staff is very friendly, polite and helpful, remembered us from previous stays some years ago. Excellent spa and new gym equipment. Best suited for couples of all ages or singles. There is no night life or animation (very happy about that:). There is no sandy beach for children with easy access to the sea. There is however a fairly good coral reef for snorkellers and divers and sea entry is through the jetty. Water sports, horse or camel riding, quad safaris, massages, diving and excursions can be arranged and there are free shuttles to Dahab twice a day.

enjoyed it to the max, one of the best hotels ever I have stayed at

Outstanding in every way, from the beauty of the location to the service and luxury of the hotel. Friendly, efficient staff too and wonderful food.

Perfect stay for short period

My wife and I spent four days at the Le Meridien this past month. This resort is far and above one of the best places to stay in Dahab. The city itself has seen a lot of downturn as a result of the low tourist turnout since the revolution in 2010-11. The resort is a little south of the main area in Dahab and as a result it is a little difficult to get into Dahab if you are looking to see the city or grab dinner at one of the great restaurants along the main street. There is a shuttle that goes from the resort to Dahab and back around lunch and again for a late dinner. Other than that, you can walk (about 3 miles) when the weather is not too hot or try to catch a cab. Due to the lower tourist numbers, we only saw four other couples or families at the resort while we were there. That meant we never shared any of the three pools with anyone else, and had the beach to ourselves when we went down to relax in one of the many comfy sleeping pods along the shore. The food was OK, but for the price and quality, you may be better off going into the city.

We stayed at Le Meridien Dahab resort for a week in March 2014 and it was one of the best holidays we have ever had. The customer service was exceptional, everybody was so friendly and welcoming. The manager on duty was very attentive and whenever he saw us, he came to check how we are doing and whether we are enjoying the holiday. We had only breakfast included in the package so we were having a lunch and dinner in the Vie restaurant where the food was amazing. We tried Egyptian meals (lentil soup – delicious!) and also international dishes like pizza and pasta. We liked their pizza so much, that we called it “Egyptian pizza”. The resort is very spacious and all facilities are just two steps away, so you can have a lunch on the beach if you like. The hotel has a private beach and you can do snorkelling. We saw amazing fishes and reefs. If you are adventures, you can arrange for a snorkelling trip to Blue Hole or Napoleon. We did the snorkelling there and it was spectacular! The resort is very clean and the rooms are beautifully designed. We honestly had the best time ever. I would recommend this place to everybody and probably we will come back there next year. The hotel is only an hour driving from Sharm El Sheik airport but we are glad we decided to go a bit away from popular and crowded Sharm El Sheik area as Dahab is a lovely and you will never get bored. For the sport fanatics, the resort has a gym and tennis court.

Everething as expected to a high standart

Le Meridien Dahab is located just outside Dahab, a short taxi ride into town. It is on the beach with access to the sea via a jetty over the coral. There are 3 pools- 2 salt water and an infinity pool to relax around. The recreation and all other staff are really helpful and polite and go out of their way to ensure that you have a very pleasant stay. The rooms are well furnished, very clean and comfortable with tea/ coffee making facilities & mini bar. Our bathroom had a huge free standing bath, plus separate shower cubicle, we also had an outside shower and seating area in the garden terrace. Breakfast is served buffet style and there is an excellent selection to choose from. We had a totally relaxing holiday and highly recommend Le Meridien Dahab and look forward to staying there again soon.

Tranquil, peaceful - for those who are not interested in 'tribal' gratification on holiday. If you want to dance the night away to 'agadoo' etc...... go to Sharm and if you want peace and tranquility, come to Le Meridien, Dahab. .
