Initially upgraded ( ! ) to a bungalow. Two separate beds. A TV with about 12 channels and only one in English on a TV set that came out of the 1970's with abysmal reception. There was no internet available unless you wanted to pay per hour ( expensive ) by purchasing a card. There were no plugs in the sink or bath, no coffee provided and a window that was exceedingly difficult to open and close with a fly screen that did not fit. This all inclusive resort consisted of the worst wine I have ever drunk in my life and what seemed to be watered down ( or the absolute cheapest ) spirits. The staff however everywhere were friendly, accommodating and efficient, polite and respectful. The food was generally very good albeit a little bit repetitive, the grounds and amenities, beach and everywhere were all kept clean...although I did find it irritating that lying on a sunbed one was continually pestered by touters for various other services. Nevertheless overall pleasant enough for a short stay but at the end of the day it is not a place I would ever return to.

budget hotel / need more renovation
we were a group of 24 + 4 children , we booked 11 rooms in soft all inclusive bases , (low quality juices) check in was fast and the reception staff were very good , Hotel all in all is OK for the people who looking for budget hotel , Rooms are very old with very old facilities , in some rooms air conditions not working or needs more maintenance , Rooms has very old TV " not flat , not LCD , not LED , . most of the TV channels not working Food , the variety is very limited and not tasty except one day from the five days we stayed , No service on the peach , if you need any thing you have to go yourself , They use a very cheap plastic cups . not environmental friendly , Staff is very polite ( but they are not professional ) except a few of them Beach is save for the people who cannot swim , Animation team is not bad

Great Hotel
This is a great place for families . The sand is soft and tender, there's a huge number of sunbeds and umbrellas, so you can come any time and still find a nice place for sunbathing and relaxing. Food is good, dinners have grill food of different kinds. There are restaurants a-la-cart with romantic atmosphere and tasty food, which are included in the price of the tour. For those who love to snorkel, there are alive corals with multicolored fish and beautiful underwater world. For babies there are free cribs and baby beds. There is a small market with different goods outside the hotel, where you can buy souvenirs, fruits or whatever you want.

A Wonderful Surprise! Highly Recommended!
I booked Shams Safaga Resort because of the reviews and the hotel ratings on Expedia. The description and the pictures all looked and sounded wonderful. But, I arrived with a bit of caution because I thought that the "all-inclusive" deal and the pictures were too good to be true (I didn't expect complimentary meals and drinks or such an elegant hotel). What I experienced instead was a slice of paradise...the hotel lobby, the gift shops, the cocktail lounge, the restaurant, the pool, the grounds, the beachside amenities and the rooms were all so much better than I expected. EVERYONE was very friendly and helpful...the front desk, the bellhops, housekeeping, etc. The shopping arcade prices were quite reasonable and had wondeful selections. The cocktail lounge and staff were the best, and the complimentary drink choices (all Egyptian-made liquors and beer) were a delight. As for the restaurant, I was amazed at the offerings and the dedicated staff. The hours of operation are long and and the beautiful layout of the buffets offers EVERYTHING...soups, many salad choices, a variety of breads, and endless entrees, vegetables and deserts. My 5th floor room had a spectacular view of the grounds, the pool and the beach. The massive grounds were a tropical paradise and beautifully attended to every single day. The pool was large and beautifully designed. The massive beach had endless amenitities. All in all, this was a wonderful experience and I felt safe and secure!

Partendo dal presupposto che il rapporto qualità prezzo è più che soddisfacente, purtroppo le camere e la zona bar e piscina sono un pò troppo datate quindi vecchie e malandate. Vi consiglio di farvi assegnare le camere rivisitate recentemente. Lo staff molto disponibile, il cibo e pulizia buoni , basterebbe rivedere le camere e gli arredi delle parti comuni.

Незабываемый отдых в солнечном Shams
Отдыхали с 27 марта по 9 апреля. Жили в бунгало. Отдыхающих было 40 человек. В ресторане, несмотря на то, что не было шведского стола, кормили по меню, обслуживали быстро и еда была очень вкусная и без ограничений. Анимация появилась позже, тоже была классная: аква джем, йога,зарядка, вечером для детей дискотека. Вначале отдыха был сильный ветер, но загородки на пляже от него спасали, вода чистая и теплая, все время купались. Спасибо гостеприимному отелю и всем, кто нас обслуживал и создал прекрасный отдых!!!!🙂

The restaurant team were the best
I really liked and enjoyed my stay in Shams Safaga resort. The beach is sandy and amazing . The restaurant team were really welcoming and doing their best to please everyone. We only had an issue when we checked in , the receptionist told us that there is booking registered for us which was a real shock and that we have to do rebooking but the hilarious thing was when I asked him let me check the list , I found my name !!!! Our room was on the fifth floor which the roof , you may suffer from the noise of the birds but the view of the sea was really a blast. The overall stay was very good . I would like to go there again.

Bon séjour windsurf et kite
Hotel qui donne sur la mer, juste à côté du club ION (Windsurf et Kite) c'est pour celà que nous avons séjourné dans cet hôtel. Le buffet n'est pas exceptionnel, mais il est correct. Un effort appréciable est fait pour donner un plat différent chaque jour. Le wifi est payant , il vaut mieux acheter une carte sim avec data. Ne pas hésiter à aller faire une excursion à Luxor, c'est magnifique !

Wir: Ende 20, Berliner, viel beschäftigt, suchen Ruhe & Entspannung Sonne und Strand traumhaft - Lobrede Ende! - Versuch uns in ein Standard Zimmer zu stecken, obwohl Bungalow Zimmer gebucht - alles runtergekommen - Röhren- TV mit einem Sender - Glasoberflächen beschädigt (Nachtisch) - Schrauben fehlten, lose Steckdosen - Essen sah teilweiße absolut unappetitlich aus, schmeckte meistens nach nichts, war immer das Gleiche - Snack-Buffet = 5-6 Schippen vom Frühstück + Schale alter Salat - es gibt keinen "internationalen" Alkohol, alles nur inländische Produkte die grausam schmeckten - Instantkaffee - kein Service Trotz direkter Ansprache des Kellners ist dieser noch nicht einmal stehen geblieben (Mohammed). In diesem Hotel gab es größtenteils Singles/ Alleinstehende. Menschen die den Kontakt zu anderen suchen. Menschen die vielleicht zu Hause niemanden haben. Es soll auch jeder sein Leben leben, "be yourself" nur hat es uns überhaupt nicht gefallen, dass manche Gäste und auch manche vom Personal total penetrant und aufdringlich waren. Bei einem Barkeeper grenzte dessen Verhalten bereits an sexuelle Belästigung. Am Strand wurde man von Verkäufern sogar geweckt um deren Touren zu kaufen, mehrmals von den Gleichen! Wir sind in den Urlaub geflogen um dem Alltagsstress zu entfliehen, herunterzufahren, um zu relaxen und nicht um mit wildfremden Menschen in einer Art Selbsthilfegruppe über den Weltschmerz jedes Einzelnen zu debattierten. FAZIT Sorry - never again >>>BYE>>>
