Le Meridien Dahab Resort

The hotel and the facilities are good. The hotel is located a 15 minute taxi ride from the hotel (27 EGP) and the town itself had a reasonably good number of restaurants but they mostly did the same food for the same price. There are a few bars and you can always get a taxi back from the footbridge to the hotel (20 EGP)
We had two meals at the hotel, both in the Sails restaurant by the sea. The food is very expensive and poor in terms of quality. The chefs had difficulty cooking rice and I gave up the third time it was sent back. The drinks are also very expensive and are similar to London prices. I appreciate that this is a resort hotel but when it is 4 times more expensive, that is a little rip off to me.
On the plus side, the beach is man made and you need to access the sea via the pontoon but that is fine. The towel guy can't do enough to help, which is the same for all the staff except the chefs! There are good pools and the on site diving school is excellent.
The breakfast is excellent and a really good start to the day.
I would go back and stay there again, I would be happy to take a taxi into town and pick up the essentials from the supermarket!
