Guest Reviews

• Anette (10/5): - Alt er perfekt 👌 jeg har været her 6 gange og det er stadig smuk dykning, maden er god søde mennesker
• Romain (10/5): Un vrai établissement ecolodge très bien équipé pour les mordus de la plongée dans un endroit encore préservé. - L’emplacement, le paysage, la facilité d’accès à la mer, la qualité des équipements et de la nourriture. Rien
• Francesco Giuseppe (10/5): Soggiorno rilassante nel paradiso del Mar Rosso - Villaggio incentrato sulle immersioni e lo snorkeling. Non è sicuramente il classico resort commerciale che puoi trovare a Marsa Alam. Mi è piaciuto molto il fatto che ci tengono a salvaguardare la barriera corallina e il mare. La barriera corallina del villaggio è spettacolare. Tutto lo staff era super simpatico e disponibile. Abbiamo legato particolarmente con Aladdino (cameriere) e Omar (istruttore della scuola immersioni). Ci torneremo sicuramente per fare un corso di immersioni perché sono riusciti a trasmettere la bellezza di questa disciplina. Niente
• Régis (10/5): Parfait - Un accueil exceptionnel Hôtel à taille humaine Spot de plongée super avec équipement parfait Très bonne organisation Rien
• Marielle (10/5): -
• Karim (10/5): -
• François (9/5): - Buffet varié et excellent aux 3 repas, le personnel a été très agréable. Centre PADI intégré dans le complexe, permettant de louer l'équipement nécessaire et de réserver cours et sorties de plongée et de snorckling. Les moniteurs sont sérieux et très agréables également.
• Anders (10/5): -
• Christine Wilson (10/5): Our family are all ready planning the next trip. - One of the best resort hotels I have stayed in the food and the staff were spot on, plenty of variety, we are going back. The diving school was first class. Maybe diet drinks could be included in the all inclusive package.
• hayley (10/5): Great family stay - Staff were all exceptional. Every individual member. The tents are exceptionally comfortable and enjoyable to sleep in. The food was outstanding So much variety, great taste and the Christmas eve feast was outstanding. Dive instructors were all kind, knowledgeable, patient and wonderful teachers. The neighbouring hotels offered light pollution in the evening. Such a shame. Marsa Shagra itself is without fault.
• Mathilde (10/5): - La village parfait pour les plongeurs! Notre chalet deluxe était très confortable, les repas du jour restaurant étaient très bons, et le personnel aux petits soins. Tout est pensé pour la plongée : les excursions sont très bien organisées, et vous avez la possibilité de plonger en illimité dans la House Reef. Nous avons notamment eu la chance de voir un requin Longimanus lors de notre excursion à Elphinstone. Un grand merci à Yohann, avec qui nous avons passé notre Advanced PADI Open Water, pour ta sympathie, ta pédagogie et tes précieux conseils ! Merci également à Sarah, à l’équipe du Dive Club et aux capitaines. Nous avons déjà hâte de revenir à Marsa Shagra! Cela reste marginal car l’objectif est de déconnecter, mais la wifi n’est pas très bonne dans les chambres. Rien à signaler sinon !
• Hilde (10/5): The perfect place for a dive holiday - Location, facilities, diving facilities, staff, organization of the diving area, relaxed atmosphere
• Rooseleer (9/5): -
• Stacey (8/5): Nice diving retreat ( less good for snorkellers) and sprite some niggles we are glad we came - Nice location Restaurant and restaurant staff were great Great house reef Felt snorkellers were second class citizens compared to divers We were misled on seeing dugongs Unfortunately missed spinner dolphins too . Forgot my partner’s birthday cake despite being ordered. Ridiculous scenario of not accepting Egyptian cash at reception
• Stephan (9/5): - Super friendly staff, excellent dive shop, perfectly organized, very safe and relaxed. Bit pricey 😉
• Mohamed (8/5): -
• Nadine (6/5): The Spirit of Shagra is lost and gone - Die Anlage ist nach wie vor sehr schön, gepflegt und sauber. Auch das Essen überzeugt, besonders die ägyptischen Gerichte sind sehr gut. Das Personal ist freundlich und zuvorkommend. Seit 2010 tauche ich regelmässig im Marsa Shagra- einst das schönste Hausriff Aegyptens…… Leider muss ich seit kurzer Zeit (ca. 4 Jahren) die Zerstörung des Riffs durch Massentauchen und Klimaerwärmung feststellen. Der grosse Teil der Korallen sind am Sterben oder bereits tot. Die wenigen Fische kämpfen verzweifelt ums Ueberleben… Einige Taucher verwechseln die verbleibenden Skelette mit lebenden Organismen. Täglich belagern bis zu 300 Taucher das Riff- viele davon mit schlechten Tauchfähigkeiten und ohne Rücksicht oder Achtsamkeit. Leider unternimmt die Basis wenig dagegen. Die Guides dürfen nichts sagen- schliesslich ist der Gast König. Da werden Korallen mit Flossen abgeschlagen, darauf herumgetrampelt, Sand aufgewirbelt….etc. Hauptsache man hat ein Foto- wie das Riff hinter einem ausschaut, ist den meisten egal. Grosse Gruppen und Tauchclubs von bis zu 35 Tauchern nehmen nicht nur das Hausriff, sondern auch die Basis und Restaurants in Beschlag, als ob ihnen alles gehören würde. Es wird nicht mehr gegrüsst oder Rücksicht genommen. Geschweige denn sich ausgetauscht…..Wir sind nicht mehr alle im selben Boot. Einfach nur traurig und deprimierend. THE SPIRIT OF SHAGRA IS GONE- Ich musste weinen beim Tauchen im Hausriff. Wollt ihr dem Riff oder besser, dem roten Meer was Gutes tun? Dann fahrt da nicht mehr hin. Ich für meinen Teil habe abgeschlossen mit Aegypten. Bye bye ☹ Die Bilder zeigen das angeblich schöne intakte Hausriff....bildet euch selbst eine Meinung. Warum Booking die Photos unter Wasser nicht freigibt, entzieht sich meiner Kenntnis.
• gloria (10/5): Top - Le concept de plongée est genial, les Egyptiens plus que adorables.
• Ivana (9/5): Excellent location, Pristine resort - Excellent dive location with direct access to the reef The resort is massive so it’s sometimes a bit tough to walk in the extreme heat between places - tough but manageable.
• Clermont (10/5): -
• Robyn (6/5): - Snorkling was very enjoyable.
• P&A (10/5): - Baza nurkowa idea Zmiany klimatu, umierające rafy widać bardzo zniszczenia w stosunku do ostatnich lat
• Jessica (9/5): - Divers paradise Huts were too hot during summer. Food wasn't the most appealing at times.
• Kerstin (10/5): - Unglaublich wunderbarer Tauchspot mit Atmosphäre und Professionalität
• Ana (10/5): Very well run, small and comfortable resort in a beautiful location. Perfection. - Amazingly beautiful location, nice food, comfortable rooms. We stayed in the cabins with bathrooms. The coral reefs have suffered from heat and are currently grey. Hoping that this 2025 summer will be milder and allow them time to recover! I should note though that the experience of snorkeling around is still breathtaking — mostly because there is so much wildlife. It truly is a diving/snorkeling safari.
• Philippa (10/5): Brilliant holiday full of memorable experiences - Amazing location and sensitively designed Nothing
• Machin (8/5): A Real Divers Paradise, a place to be with nature, relaxed and professional. - Been before and it is great , best set No up for independent divers. However it has got very expensive compared to accomodation elsewhere along that stretch of coast. It doesn't include diet drinks which in this day and age doesn't make sense. Food is tasty and staff amazing. We are in a 5* Jaz this week and it is beautiful. All drinks and food and snacks included. Stunning grounds and pools. Nice beach and very good reef. We paid exactly half of what we did for Shagra. However we love the atmosphere of Shagra the fact where ever people are from , we all having diving and a lovely of the sea , so everyone chats. We will of course go again. Pay for diet drinks and accomodation package is very expensive even for a basic room with no private bathrooms.
• Louis (8/5): Very good -
• Sean (8/5): Very good -
• Lars (10/5): - Großartige Einrichtung für Taucher. Direktes tauchen im Hausriff und viele Möglichkeiten für großartige Trips. Wifi könnte etwas stabiler/besser sein.
• Michael (10/5): Sensational shagra. I will return - The diving was incredible The food was amazing The location was breathtaking The staff were friendly and helpful Exceptional value for money Not really a criticism but a little more choice on the soft drink side would have been good. Only coke or Fanta offered as part of the fully inclusive package. Diet coke was available but at an extra cost
• Ljvt (9/5): Great place for divers - Great place for divers, super well organised, excellent food, very nice staff. The house reef is wonderful, and easy access to plenty of other great dive sites Bit strict/expensive for early check-in.
• June (8/5): - Liked: large rooms, quiet, varied choices at meals, food was delicious Dislikes: bathroom had urine smell. I propped door open and smell wasnt as strong but was still there. Also, the resort is so big, it felt impersonal and cold
• Alessio (8/5): Beautiful prestine stay - The house reef is beautiful and the diving school is good. The royal tent is very clean and also the shared bathrooms. The food was nice. The enviromental friendly measurements were appreciated. The breakfast overall could be better, especially the juices. In the royal tent the fridge was not working.
• Massimo (10/5): - Le tende royal fronte mare sono alquanto affascinati. Letti enormi e comodissimi. Bagno condivisi impeccabili a qualsiasi ora di giorno e notte. La struttura è focalizzata esclusivamente sul centro Diving.
• Christina (10/5): - Looking forward to coming back already !
• Felix (10/5): - Highly recommend. Great holiday, amazing diving experience.
• Jan (9/5): Great to be by the sea and in a sympathetic development - food good but not outstanding. Sea can be a bit rough if windy.
• Catherine (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gabriel (8/5): perfect place for snorkelling - excellent breakfast except that the butter wasn't butter and tasted awful. Butter substitute. Lack of any indoor lounge for when it's too windy to sit outside
• michael (10/5): - 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.
• hana (10/5): - Un endroit de pure zénitude.
• Nadine (10/5): - Very unique experience. Great staff, great facilities, beautiful house reef, hotel, rooms. Food was great too. only negative point that you have to pay for wifi, at least it should be included in the public areas.
• Pierre (8/5): Hotel vue superbe et tranquillité pour plongeurs - Très bon séjour au Marsa Shagra Village. La vue est folle sur le spot de Plongee, la nourriture est correcte, les serveurs sont très sympas et tous habillés de la même manière. Les chalets sont rudimentaires mais literie bonne, eau chaude et climatisation Ok. Par contre nous voulions faire du freediving et on nous a toujours donné une bonne excuse entre instructeur absent, mauvaise condition!!!?? Ou encore fallait prévenir plus tôt. Sinon dans le négatif hormis chalet et buffet compris dans le prix on a vraiment l’impression d’être une vache à lait que ce soit pour la plongée (4 Plongées à 200€) ou encore le service de navette (marsa hurghada a 120€)…
• Jayd (10/5): Immersive Red Sea experience - We stayed in the tent and chalet. It’s a different experience but both are wonderful. Everything centred around and well organised for guests to enjoy underwater life to the max. The concept attracts a certain type of clientele, mostly divers, who are not there to party and make noise but to enjoy and respect nature. Wonderful to disconnect. For this price, espresso coffee and fresh juices could be included in the package.
• Jayd (10/5): Complete immersion in the Red Sea experience - Amazing location and house reef. Whether diving or snorkelling we saw something new each time we went out. Super well organised and explained. Hearing the waves lapping from the tent was fantastic. Healthy, balanced and varied food which keeps you feeling good and at your best for exploring the reef. Very helpful , friendly and qualified staff.
• Kerstin (10/5): - Fantastischer Ort für Taucher! Das Nachhaltigkeitskonzept ist vorbildlich. Alles in allem ein tolles Erlebnis. Wir kommen ganz bestimmt wieder.
• Marco (8/5): Lovely time with my wife - All good Food and restaurant set up can be improved. A hanger in the royal tent is suggested
• Cornelia (4/5): beautiful place. - amazing place beautiful location on the beach. food amazing. rooms beautiful my room what I booked was not available. so the gave me a room. sooooo big. I think the room the bed the shower everything was toooo big. you can make 3 rooms instead of 1 here. they were working and didn’t say this on the internet. they where painting with a really bad smell. I left. I talked to the manager and he apologized.
• Kyrill (1/5): overpriced, rip of mentality - the food was good value for money in regards to facilities.
• Catherine (10/5): Exceptional -
• Delarosa84 (10/5): Exceptional - The diving facilities, staff, organization, equipment, access to Nitrox bottles and house reef easy access were excellent. A divers paradise! The brand new speed boats with impressive 300ps engines are awesome. All inclusive food buffet was overall good. Chef Mohammed gave us extra amazing attention and provided on request fresh grilled fish, fruits etc. I celebrated my Birthday there and the kitchen organized a lovely (huge) cake, which was a lovely gesture. The Chalets are good size and definitely worth the extra price to stay a bit warmer if you are here in January where evenings get cool. Bed was a bit too squeeky though. Hot water and good pressure in shower were very much appreciated! The diving package is a bit pricey if you only do excursions and don't want to dive daily on the house reef, so I recommend to try to maximize the reef dives per day. Unfortunately there was no option to only do excursions without the unlimited house reef package. The Chalet has no hair dryer. We could get one from reception, but they only have 4 available for the whole village, so it took several days before we got one. The place is missing a decent beach bar with some chillout music and cocktails for the evenings...
• Ahmad (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tamara (10/5): A great place for peace & nature loving people - not just divers. - It was absolutely great. Desert, ocean, sustainable philosophy. Great respect for protecting the nature, reef. Free water dispensers to avoid pet bottle pollution was a super gesture. Everything was perfect. I hope they keep it this way and dont make it larger, more commercial.
• Marcos (10/5): Exceptional - 5 star diving center, incredible coral reef for snorkeling and diving, many activities and delicious food, very attentive staff, we'll be back soon That we only stay 3 nights :(
• MANUELA (10/5): - Barriera corallina meravigliosa. Centro diving molto ben attrezzato, anche per lo snorkeling. Possibilità di affittare a un prezzo esiguo l'attrezzatura (maschere, pinne, mute). Boudi, ragazzo del diving supergentile, premuroso e attento alle esigenze dei clienti. Personale della cucina gentile e sempre sorridente. Bagni in comune sempre puliti.
• Anthony (10/5): relaxing - location the food was cold/warm
• Magid (10/5): Exceptional -
• Camille (9/5): amazing place - will come back for sure. it is one of the only places where you can dive alone and also enjoy amazing fa - freedom to dive, good diversity of food, amazing facilities
• Javier (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alaa (7/5): Good -
• Valerie (10/5): - Endroit exceptionnel, calme et très bien situé pour la plongée ou snorkeling . Infrastructures au top, personnel au top !!! Je recommande fortement si vous cherchez un lieu à l’écart des grands hôtels touristiques !!! Une équipe formidable et aux petits soins, un ecolodge qui se soucis du respect de l’environnement et des récifs !!! Je recommande
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The proximity to the beach and the beautiful well equipped tents.
• Claire (10/5): - The accommodation, facilities, house reef and staff are all out of this world.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Dedicated to divers. Very convenient house reef to be explored, excellent chalets comfort.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Loved the tranquility. Didn’t love the poor communication or having to ask more than once about addressing certain problems or concerns. Also, would be nice if they had free wifi. Who doesn’t have free wifi in this day and age?
• Fabienne (10/5): Beautiful and relaxing - The place is lovely. We stayed in a Deluxe chalet which was comfortable and beautiful, with the view on the sea on one side and the desert and mountains on the other side (but careful to mosquitoes). We went there for a week end of February to snorkel and relax and it was the perfect place. Beautiful fishes and reef (thanks to the staff who make sure that people don't abuse the reef). We also saw many turtles and one white tip shark. The staff is friendly, professional and relax. The food was good. The transfer from Marsa Alam airport is quick and can be organised by the staff on demand. Everything was well-organised and made easy for the guests.
• Christy (8/5): Royal Tent for 2 nights - My fiancé and I had a wonderful stay in a royal tent! The tent was just what we needed -- simple, comfortable, and clean. We even had a front row view to the sea! The bathrooms were a little bit of a walk from our tent, which made me dread having to go to the bathroom during the middle of the night. The food and staff were excellent with lots of variety for each meal. The reception desk helped us organize a day trip south along the Red Sea to see Qulaan and snorkel at Hankorab beach -- super affordable and a wonderful day! I will say that for Egypt prices, the tent is a little spendy for accommodations. Yes, you are right on the water and have access to all inclusive meals and beverages, but at times it felt like we were paying a "divers tax", especially since we weren't necessarily there for the diving. All in all, highly recommend and would love to stay here again if we are ever back in Egypt!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - best diving expierience in the redsea. friendly and helpful staff, best food ever. diving sites and service is exceptional.
• Verified traveler (10/5): The reef is amazing - Thanks to all stuff and special thank to C/ karem , hesham, fade, sewaisy, And ezz And thanks to our amazing chif, and all the shaid stuff.
