" Don't stay at the Penguin Village Hotel "

Submitted By: mariana24
Hello,I'm a backpacker from Buenos Aires, Argentina.I've been to Dahab on january this year and stayed at the Penguin Village Hotel.Me and my friends booked a snorkelling excursion with the hotel's agency.Before leaving for the excursion we left our money pouches in my suitcase under lock in my room (which I shared with a friend).When we came back the door of my room was locked as i had left it,but once I came inside I noticed the zipper from my suitcase was broken.Long story short there was a thousand dollars missing from my money and some 400 euros missing from one of my friends.When we told the hotel manager,he blamed it on us at first,saying we could be faking the whole incident,which was ridiculous.We all ended up in the tourist police office,which is basically a joke,but i needed to feel like some justice was being made!
The next day we left the hotel,and they didn't charge us for the rooms,but with the money they stole from me I could have paid for it for almost half a year.I had to change my whole plan after that since they only left like 400 dollars and my credit card,and i had a month trip ahead of me.
So my only way to get back at them for what they've done to me is by telling you to choose another hotel,where more security is guarranteed!!and my advice for those travelling to Egypt is to be very careful with your money!Best of lucks!

Advice: Dahab is an exellent place to relax,iand if you stay at the right place you stay at the right place you

Activities: the blue hole is a must

Good for: Beach
