Abu Dabbab Lodge

“Very bad”

Honestly, don’t come here unless you are on a very strict budget. The hotel is a small complex of wooden cabins , a small bar and a small restaurant, nothing more. Location: even if not beachfront it’s very close to Abu Dabbab beach, the beach itself is nice and the reef is beautiful. Access to the beach and sunbeds are free for the clients of the hotel Rooms: very old, dirty towels and old bedsheets (ours had holes in them) and a strong smell of naphthaline. The air conditioned worked, but the noise was so strong I had to sleep with earplugs. Bathroom had no water for one full day and was smelling like sewage. Food: it’s not a restaurant but more like a canteen. Every day the same food, only changing between curry chicken / fried chicken / roasted chicken. The food itself was not bad but it was literally every day the same and only had 1-2 different options. WiFi: NON EXISTENT in the rooms, which was a surprise when we arrived and the staff doesn’t warn about it. When we complained, they kept telling us that they were “trying to fix it” until they finally admitted in our last day that there was no WiFi coverage in the rooms but only close to the reception. Services: absent. All the activities and snorkeling/divimg tours are dealt with the diving center at the beach, the hotel doesn’t offer a single thing. Good point: very quiet at night and during the day, since there is nothing around To sum up, it’s a decent stay only if you are on a very strict budget and you don’t really care about hotel comfort or food choice. It’s a cheap option that allows you to visit one of the best reefs, which is accessible directly from the beach and not by a pier

“Un' oasi di relax”

I was pleasantly surprised by Abu Dabbab Lodge! It feels like a desert oasis surrounded by palms and greenery, with nature and relaxation as the main themes. Part of the property had been renovated, and we were lucky enough to stay in one of the new rooms. Our room was beautiful, super modern, clean, and had a sea view, even though it’s in a natural setting (see photos!). The common areas were full of plants and flowers, and the pool was well‑maintained and clean. We really enjoyed the kitchen, with fresh dishes at every meal that suited everyone’s tastes. The lunch and dinner desserts looked like they came straight from a pastry shop—delicious and beautifully presented! The location is just a few steps from Abu Dabbab beach, whose access is included in the package (as is the daily delivery of beach towels), and it’s one of the best beaches for snorkeling, with direct access to the sea from the shore. You can also book diving trips or lessons through the Abu Dabbab Group. We felt truly pampered by the Abu Dabbab team, who deserve special mention for their kindness, friendliness, and courtesy, always ready to meet guests’ needs and do their best to make us feel comfortable! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this wonderful holiday! 🩵🐢 The only downside was that the Wi‑Fi repeater is powerful, but the reception—great on the beach—gets a bit unstable in the rooms and nearby areas; that’s the only thing that could use a small tweak. Everything else was perfect!

“امان”

The staff were excellent, very respectful, and secure. The bed was uncomfortable, and I wish they’d installed soundproofing between rooms so you don’t hear the neighbor’s chatter and footsteps.

“Tranquilo y familiar”

The rooms were spacious, pretty, and comfortable. We liked the small cabins around a pool more than other resorts with buildings. A walk to the beach was quite long, especially when the heat hit.

The location is excellent for reaching the beach in a few minutes. The food is good; a bit more variety would be appreciated. The common areas and garden are well cared for. Room cleanliness was not enough. Also, there is no safe and a kettle would be welcome. The pool feels a bit neglected. The structure has good potential but would need renovation.
