We had an fantastic week here. Loved the relaxed atmosphere and we will get back and bring our children next time.

Room:
We stayed in a chalet, had everything we needed. Comfortable bed (not that hard it could be in Egypt), clean and fresh, well functioned AC. 

Food:
Loved the food, liked everything I ate. Not very big selection, but enough for us. I’m a little bit picky but found the food here much better than in many other resorts. I think food was made with love. Delicious desserts at dinner and always fresh fruits at lunch. Bring a water bottle, there is refill stations with cold water everywhere. Soft drinks are included, but not zero/light drinks. However if you like that, the prices were ok not ruin you. 

Common areas:
Nice and clean. Enough space for everyone. Always clean toilettes so I might try to stay in a royal tent next time where you need to use public bathrooms and showers as it always looked nice and clean. 

Diving equipment area:
Very good, we got our lockers, drying area for bcd and wetsuit, a lot of rinsing pools for all our stuff, shower and changing rooms. Bring a locker with code for this.

Rental equipment: 
High quality on everything, well maintained. 

Excursions:
We did go to Elphinstone and Om halhala. Loved both sites!

Housereef: beautiful housereef south and north. We saw morays, turtles, huge Giant triggerfish, black tip reef shark, Giant grouper, puffers and many more. 

Staff:
So friendly and helpful, liked them all.

Fantastic place

Outstanding resort! Love the eco village concept. The staff here are exceptional- Mohamed at reception was incredible, he helped us locate our luggage that our airline lost, he went above and beyond to track it down and collect it from the airport, we are so grateful to him for this! The chefs are brilliant, food was always fab, and the pastry chef even asked my partner his favourite puddings and made these for him. Everything was very clean, we loved the royal tent and staff were very kind to carry our luggage to it, even in the heat. Diving here is amazing, we loved the house reef, diving four times a day here for a week and never got bored of it! We saw turtles pretty much every dive and even a dolphin. Very cute dogs and a cat who live at the resort too!

Fantastic stay

No words can describe the days we spent at Marsa Shagra. Everything was excellent. The diving facilities are impeccable; they provide everything, and the entire team is very concerned about your safety during dives, monitoring your entry and exit times from the water. The infrastructure for lockers and dive gear cleaning is also very good, and they offer unlimited dives. The tents are super comfortable, spacious, and charming, with high-quality linens. Everything is very charming by the beach, with chairs outside to enjoy the moonlight and watch the sunrise. The restaurant is a show in itself; the food is wonderful! Special mention to Chef Shaban, who was very attentive to us, and the lovely waiter Mo Salah and everyone else who makes sure you feel very special. The diving center is also excellent, fully automated; we got our AOWC there with Alaa, who was also very kind and attentive to us.

The negatives are that the internet is not included and must be paid separately, and it was not clear in our reservation that the bathrooms were outside the tents. However, this was not an issue as the shared bathrooms were very clean and rarely occupied. Also, be specific about the type of bed you want because we were a couple, and the room available when we arrived had two single beds. Later, when I asked, there was another room available, but it was far from the bathroom. This should have been confirmed upon our arrival. They could also offer more amenities for the price; there was only liquid soap on the wall, but they could also provide shampoo and conditioner. Be prepared for prices that are higher than the standard in Egypt; everything there is quite expensive, including laundry service and airport taxi, which do not follow the typical lower prices in Egypt. However, these points are not criticisms, just recommendations to make the hotel even better. Everything was very good, and I would stay there a thousand more times if possible.

Best diving hotel ever!!!!

We spent a week here with our friends. All of us are divers, so the unlimited dives package was very useful for us. 

Our accommodation was in Deluxe Chalets. These are little chalets with a room, a small bathroom and a terrace, looking at the Red Sea, where we could enjoy the beautiful sunrise. The bed was really comfortable. Room was cleaned daily. Towels for shower and beach are provided, as well as 2in1 shower gel and soap. 

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and soft drinks, plus coffee and tea are included in the package. In the cafeteria and restaurant you can get beer, wine, snacks, pizza, extra soft drinks and extra coffee (e.g. cappuccino) for additional charge. Bottled water is also for a charge of 1 EUR in the cafeteria. However, there are a lot of water stations all around the village where you can refill your own bottle with water as many times as you want.

All members of the staff are very kind and helpful, especially at the diving base, they help you in anything you need. 

The house-reef is simply beautiful, with nice corals and marine life. There are also some excursions available, e.g. Elphinstone, Dolphin House, etc. Those of our friends who went to Elphinstone said that it was beautiful, they saw manta rays, but unfortunately no sharks. We all went to the Dolphin House, which is an amazing place. We had two dives, in crystal clear water where we saw huge, colourful corals, and nice little caves. This was an all-day excursion, with a wonderful lunch.

We enjoyed our time here a lot and I'm absolutely sure that we will come back each year.

Wonderful dives

We spent a week diving at Marsa Shagra and had an amazing time. The house reef is beautiful, healthy and easily accessible. All of the staff were incredibly friendly, the chalet where we stayed was clean and the food was very good, it was by far the best buffet style food we had so far.
The dive guides are very professional and the diving facilities are extraordinary.
So.... No negative points as far as we're concerned. We will definately be spending another diving holiday at Marsa Shagra.

Excellent diving holiday

Highly recommend. Great holiday, amazing diving experience.

Was realy nice there. Nice reef to dive, nice tent,.nice food. Only the transportationprice to the Airport was to expensiv. Taxi was so much cheaper.

I would never stay here again. We picked Shagra specfically because we wanted to dive for a couple of days before joining a liveaboard dive boat. We almost missed the opportunity to dive completely due to poor/missing communication at check in. The guy at the equipment desk was just downright rude. The prices were outrageous!!! The extra fees for hyperbaric chambers and the environment might make sense if you're staying a week. They do not make sense if you're staying 2 nights and diving twice. Our room/board was pre-paid. We upgraded our room from a tent to a chalet, and did two dives (two people), with one equipment rental. It cost us $450 EXTRA (beyond the original room/board).  Most expensive diving ever. 

Terribly Overpriced

Pros: - The unlimited diving concept is excellent and the house reef is beautiful. The corals are particularly lovely (although if you’re staying longer than 3 days you’d probably have to do excursions to keep yourself entertained). 
- The royal tents are well situated on the beach, the toilets and showers are cleaned regularly. 
- There was enough variety during meals to find something nice, the desserts were especially good.

Cons: - We usually arrived for lunch at 1.30 and most of the salads, meat options etc would already be finished and not replaced. It was very hard to flag staff down to ask for drinks at the restaurant and if you didn’t arrive early for dinner it wasn’t possible to find a table outside. 
- The dive shade gets very crowded when the resort is at full capacity, making it difficult to kit up if your neighbours are also diving at the same time. Some dive shade staff were unfriendly and unhelpful when asked questions. You’ll need padlocks for the lockers.
