Is anyone familiar with the resort Al Diwan ? This looks like a possible for a trip in March/April but I'd like some opinions first.
 
OK, Surely someone has some knowledge of this place. It's just outside Hurghada and is on the RCI list.
 
Sorry bud, tend to do the South of Egypt myself. Never heard of this place, do you know if it is know as anything else?
 
The only Al Diwan I know is a hotel/resort near Sharm el Sheikh on the Sinai Peninsula, never heard of a resort by that name near Hurghada. You've got El Gouna half an hour to the north, and Soma Bay half an hour to the south, which are both well known resorts/towns, but can't help you on the Al Diwan front, I am afraid.

I stayed in the Sharm Al Diwan in 2005. It's a relatively small hotel, 3 stars sounds about right. Clean. Functioning airco. A fridge in the room, nice. There's a well stocked shop across the street. The hotel food was only so-so. But hey, who cares when there are so many nice restaurants in Naama bay? A taxi is is 30 or 40 LE, but you may have to wait a while or walk to the main road. Al Diwan is close to the airport, but the aircraft passing overhead didn't bother us. You'll be out diving all day anyway, I assume, so the russians monopolizing the pool beds won't bother you either :D The hotel beach is in Sharks Bay, which IMHO offers the best snorkeling in Sharm.
