Jaz Dahabeya

Super nice all-inclusive week spent at Jaz during low season. Not many guests, great service and very nice, amenities. The daily buffet was absolutely respectable in range and variation and there was food left even if you came late to the serving. The range of drinks included was better than expected and the bar team were happy to tweak their standard cocktails to suit your taste. Friendly staff, attentive without being overly clingy :) The pool was well maintained... and it was a 30 second walk to the clean private beach where deck chairs were always available. Room was pretty standard, clean, nice firm bed and a pleasant view over the pool and ocean. Beware the sliding doors to the terrasse that do not have doorhandles on the outside :) The music from the very active entertainment team was sometimes a little on the loud side, but only for 30 minutes at a time and nothing to really annoy. 10 minute shuttle rides to Dahab/back twice each afternoon, but easily possible to walk there if you need to work up an appetite. All in all we'll happily come back here another time.

What a beautiful hotel this is. Immaculately clean throughout. Very pretty and ideally located. But what sets the place apart are the remarkable staff. In particular the guys working the bars - Maged, Eslam and Abdelrhmen (I hope I have spelled these names correctly). Such amazing attentive service from them all day every day. Our waiters too - Oudy and Ibrahim. Plus our room cleaners Achmed and his cousin (apologies for not catching his name. We were 1215). ALL these guys work so hard and I hope the hotel manager reads this and passes on praise and rewards for their total professionalism and dedication. These guys need pay rises ! Everyone is lovely but Abdelrhmen and Eslam always took time to speak to us, make our favourite drinks, always wave at us on our balcony - such lovely young men who are a credit to the hotel. The room was amazing. Beds are super comfortable and we had a lovely pool view. Food is good and there is a nice buffet restaurant plus lovely snack area at Sea Pearl. Sadly that was not open in evenings but probably because hotel was low capacity My only gripe is the persistence of the animation team. They are relentless ! I understand they are working hard and if you enjoy activities on holiday then they definitely encourage you to join in, but some guests just want to RELAX, but unfortunately the entertainment staff don’t seem to understand what that means ! I’m not comfortable with being badgered whilst I’m eating dinner and interrupted whilst I’m sunbathing or talking. I know they are just trying to drum up interest but when a guest says NO - they should leave it at that, and definitely not bother guests when they’re eating dinner. I don’t go on holiday to have to keep explaining why I don’t want to stretch, play darts, do pool aerobics or dance ! The animation staff are lovely young people but they need to back off a bit and respect guests who don’t wish to join in The welcome lobby bar is an idyllic spot for a quiet evening drink but unfortunately the music was held there in the evenings when it would have been better suited to be held in the Atrium. Having to endure kiddies disco with the Birdy Song and Head Shoulders Knees Toes song every night after dinner with kids running around everywhere was a bit too much for adults who just want to talk and enjoy an evening drink. Overall however this is a fantastic hotel and we would love to return. Thank you to all the staff for making it so special
