Advantages: Luxurious, watersports, great lagoon, good food Disadvantages: Extra food and drinks expensive, no snorkelling in lagoon
The Hilton Dahab is a fairly green hotel spread across the Dahab coastline. There is a nice golden sand beach, although it is too hot to walk on without shoes in summer, so I would recommend buying some beach/swimming shoes from the hotel shop. The lagoon in lovely for swimming and very walm, although there is little in terms of marine life. There is a dive centre (sinai divers) which can arrange diving and snorkelling trips and courses.
We were on Half board, which was a good deal as you could have a pizza or snack for lunch on the beach (expensive)! The breakfasts are hilton standards (fantastic) and the buffet dinners are also good.
There is a games room with billiards and table tennis which you can hire.

Advantages: Beautiful Red Sea Resort. Similar to Sharm El Sheikh but a much more reasonable price, more atmosphere. Disadvantages: Street traders/ hawkers may annoy some people. To me, all part of the experience.
I stayed here for a week whilst on a bigger tour of Egypt. Beautiful place; incredible scenery and excellent opportunities for Scuba diving / snorkelling at the world famous "Blue Hole" where the sea life will take your breath away.
I found Dahab to have more atmosphere than Sharm El Sheikh but it depends what you're looking for. Dahab tends to attract a younger, less-family type crowd, back-packer types and has the laid-back attitude to match. Facilities range from basic to much more luxorious; you get what you pay for.
By night, the fish restuarants and coffee shops "bedouin style" are excellent value and very tasty. Avoid the local alcohol though; it tastes pretty lethal.
An excellent base for trips into Sinai, up Mount Catherine and I highly recommend the Safari to the Coloured Canyon. Dahab is excellent value for money ...
