We've just returned from Dahab and a week's stay at the Nesima, this being our second trip there within a year. The hotel is a great place to stay, rooms are on the small side but kept nice and clean, the restaurant does nice breakfasts and dinners and all the staff are really friendly.

The dive centre is perfect, great behind the counter staff, dives guides and drivers, highly recommended. We will be back again next year for sure.

A 3 nights stay here for a diving trip, I only used the hotel for a nap or overnight sleeping, hadn't spent much time around.

The Location is superb, at the heart of Dahab.

The food is below average with minimal varieties, didn't enjoy my breakfast at all, the last day I decided to have my breakfast in a restaurant close to the diving center.

The pool is nice and cozy compared to the size of the hotel.

The rooms are tidy, yet a bit small, more like a cabin with small beds.

Bottom line:
Te hotel is OK if you plan to have outdoor activities getting back to it for overnight sleep.

The hotel is clean and comfortable and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. The pool is lovely and overlooking the sea. The whole place has a very calm and relaxing feel to it. Rooms are not the biggest but are very clean and had everything I needed. The restaurant and roof lounge are also very nice and a nice place to relax after a days diving. I would have given it 5 stars, but as some other reviewers have said the breakfast was a bit limited. Please don't let that put you off, there is a good selection of bread, cereals, cheese etc, but just I don't feel it deserves 5 stars and honesty is the best policy I think!

The dive centre however is outstanding. The staff were so friendly and helpful and really couldn't do enough for you. The set up is excellent. You have your own private locker to lock and store things away, as well as fresh water rinse tanks and a drying room which is also locked at night. Each person gets a locker, 2 hangers for wetsuits, a hanger for bcd and pegs to hang your boots on for drying, all numbered the same.

Tariq and Diana welcomed me as I arrived and asked what I would like to do for the week. Boat trips can be arranged and as I was due to fly on the date of the next one, they were able to group together with another resort to share the boat and go on another day so that I didn't miss Gabr el Bint (recommend this trip!). Excellent customer service and true dedication to making sure guests get to see everything they want to. The boats used for the day trips are large and spacious and the crew on board very helpful.

The shore dives are by truck / jeep and you get a shaded area to leave your stuff and relax between dives as well as order food and drinks. Our guide for the week was Nubi, who I can't rate highly enough. He is professional, friendly and genuinely seems to love showing guests the delights of Dahab's dive sites. He is very experienced and has an impressive eye for spotting sea horses! If you are into your photography I would recommend asking for him as he seems to have super vision for the small stuff!

There are cats and dogs around, but Nesima staff are doing their best to help the animals and get them neutered to help control the population and ensure the animals are healthier and not begging for food. I really admire their efforts.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. I felt like I had a relaxing break as well as some great diving. The hotel staff can recommend tour companies and excursions for those wanting to do something other than diving, and really nothing is too much trouble for them. Thanks to everyone at Nesima and hope to return one day.
