I don't know, looking at the pictures of Coral Coast Hotel, it looks a bit more homie, more comfortable and easy going. Not that a nice place can't be relaxing but I'm fine with a place that is just clean and simple, as long as the A/C, hot water is clean and running.

Coral Coast looks like it has a few nice bars/lounges to hang out at too compared to the rest of the hotels i looked at.

That's right.Also,the very good thing with CC is that it's quiet,it's not on the most crowded stretch of the promenade,still,it's a very short walk from the "action"(if you really want some).

I also live in dahab and agree with alot of the comments made here, but would really recommend Alaska Hotel. Small friendly and been re-built very recently (think the websote is dahabescape.com). It's pretty much in the middle of town and near almost all of the good dive centres.

Take a walk up and down the bay on your first day, and speak to the dive centres. Sea Dancer, Poseidon, Sinai Divers Backpackers, all less than 5 mins walk from hotel and see which one you prefer! Also, check out tripadvisor for other people's opinions.

Relaxing for the day in the bay on a sunlounger at one of the numerous restaurants by the Lighthouse watching the world go by can be a great way to spend the day and watching all the goings on in and out of the water. Much better than sitting by a pool in the resort imho.

I'm sure you'll have a great holiday!!

and watching all the goings on in and out of the water.

Ehe,at Lighthouse just a week ago I saw a Russian instructor,water up his chest, all geared up,tank,hood,gloves,the works,giving a lesson......smoking a cigarette!
I'm not picking on Russians,it's just that the guy happened to be Russian...well, who else...

The Russians also have the highest % fatalities in Egypt!

Mmmh,I don't think he had a beard and he was wearing a hood so I couldn't see if he was shaveheaded(but hey,all the Russians are shaveheaded aren't they?)He was certainly a huge guy anyway

LOL!! some funny S*&t! Not picking n Russians myself, they got hot women, but I was in the Maldives last September with 2 other couples and my girl friend. Great time, and we did a snorkle trip since the girls in our group didn't dive. anyway, there was a Russian family, at least i think, could have been from some other area near by but the grand dad or the oldest of the group was a damn jerk. The boat captain even briefed everyone to stay off the reefs so not to damage the coral. This ****ing jerk was standing on the reef trying to clear out his mask. I yelled at him in front of his entire family to get himself off the reef and go out to the deep are as was briefed.

Not only that, everytime I tried to take a photo of a coral head, fish, turtle, the entire damn family would swarm around me, scare off the fish. Man, there allways has to be one group of clowns around on a tour.
