Pools & waterplay
With waterpark, waterslides, heated
Meal-plan PDF lists three swimming pools, one heated in winter; Expedia lists water park and waterslide.
The beach itself
Coraya Bay is promoted for private sandy beach, reef snorkeling and diving; reef access means water entry can vary by section.

- Caveat: Entry depth varies along the shore
Counts come from the resort's own published information; the scores are ours, from the Palmprint file below.
Who fits where at Steigenberger Coraya Beach
All 4 categories, from the resort's own accommodations pages. The figures are the comparison: how many the room takes, against the most this property puts in any one key. Where a category carries no figures, the resort does not publish an occupancy for it, which at villa tier usually means it is set when you book.
| Suite | Occupancy | Bedrooms | Aspect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Superior Room | Not published | 1 bedroom | Garden, pool or sea |
| Deluxe Room | Not published | 1 bedroom | Garden, pool or sea |
| Junior Suite | Not published | 1 bedroom | Not published |
| Suite | Not published | 1 bedroom | Not published |
Occupancy is the maximum published occupancy including rollaways, not comfortable occupancy. Categories and occupancy change with renovations, and connecting rooms are usually request-only, so confirm when you book.

Before you book
Seven things the research turned up about Steigenberger Coraya Beach that the brochure does not say.
This is a true all-inclusive adults-only Red Sea resort under the Steigenberger brand.
The resort is best for quiet beach, snorkeling and diving rather than exploring Egypt independently.
Free Wi-Fi may be limited-speed, with high-speed access potentially extra.
Hidden tips
Snorkelers should use Coraya Bay’s reef-protected conditions as a key reason to choose this property over more exposed Red Sea beaches.
For winter stays, confirm which pool is heated and whether the water park is operating.
Things guests wish they had known
The resort is built for relaxation, beach, reef and dive access, not nightlife or city exploration.
Some amenities that sound standard, such as high-speed Wi-Fi or room service, may have limitations or fees.

The rate, and where to check it
A checked price with a date on it, not a teaser. Here is the stay we price.
Taxes and fees vary by channel, so compare the final screen, not the first one.
We can place the reservation through an accredited travel agency partner. There is no separate fee for using us, and the resort looks after your stay once it is booked. If you book this way the resort pays us a commission. You are not charged a separate fee. How we are paid.

Oct to May
Real seasons here: highs run from 72°F in January to 102°F in July, with no month taking an unusual share of the rain, so warmth is the whole decision.
