And so we returned from vacation. It's time to collect our thoughts and evaluate our trip to the Reef Oasis hotel.
We got the tour at a very attractive price of $ 750 for three, a week.
Operator Join Up, Jan Air Air Company.
There were fears that our flight would be rescheduled, but everything went smoothly.
Takeoff, landing, transfer to the hotel, and at 1.00 am we are at the reception.
This hotel is very popular big bus with people went to only one hotel.
I haven't seen this yet. You can imagine what was going on near Resepshin.
The pandemonium of people, to agree on something, such as early check-in was simply unrealistic. Fortunately, the hotel lives in its own time and theirs is 1.00 in fact 1.00.
At 1300 we were given the keys to a rather spacious room near the heated pool. The room arranged for us and we changed clothes and went to get acquainted with the hotel.
So the Reef Oasis Beach hotel.
TERRITORY.
Here everything is without question. Everything is in well-groomed greenery.

Since the hotel is many years old, mature beautiful trees have grown.
In winter there is one heated swimming pool.
There is a small water park, but the water in it is not heated. But the water is not ice cold.
The territory of the hotel is large, but walked around the hotel without tension.
For those who don't like to walk, there is a minibus.
SERVICE .
The hotel is 100% full, and probably because of this, the service was limping.
There was not enough crockery in the canteens.
That beer was running out.
Beachboys on the beach did not work well.
But all this is not critical. Especially considering such a crowd of people.
Cleaning in the room was a blunder, but we were already used to it, and didn’t pay much attention.
The hotel has 50% of vacationers, Italians. And the attitude towards them is more loyal than towards the Slavs.
But there was no obvious bullishness.
For the animation in this hotel I will not say anything, since we did not come into contact with it
I just know that the animation is in Italian.
FOOD AND BARS.
Surprisingly, I really enjoyed the food.
Meat (mostly in the form of goulash) was every day.
Sea food (I don’t count fish) every day.
Alternated, crabs day, squid day, octopus day.
Several types of fish (grill and fillet) every day.
They ate either duck or lamb.
Not enough fruit, but enough. Once they even gave strawberries. ))
Alcohol, as always in Egypt, is not for everybody. Beer is edible, wine is so-so.
It is better to refrain from strong alcohol.
All bars have traveling coffee machines. They made amazing coffee.
A nice bonus was that the central bar is open around the clock.
BEACH AND SEA.
This is where I am completely disappointed.
There were obvious problems on the beach due to the full load of the hotel with sunbeds.
There are simply no free sunbeds in 1.00. That's what you want and do it . .
Anyway . .
The sea. Yes, sandy entry, But the water is so muddy that you can't see your legs standing up to your waist. FIR STICKS - This is the Red Sea! Why is that?
RIF was also disappointing.

Due to the large number of people, the fish fled the coral, which is pretty trampled.
After reading the praised reviews about the underwater world at this hotel, I was completely disappointed. It may be suitable for beginners, but tourists with a certain experience did not like us. (I'll post a link to the video from the reef at the end. )
Pantone has been complained about in previous reviews.
Probably he was subdued, since the pantone is whole.
TOTAL.
We really liked the hotel itself.
I understand why, against the backdrop of empty hotels in Egypt, this one is packed to capacity.
The very good location in the bay makes it ideal for a winter stay.
Despite the overcrowding of the hotel, the service is poorly coping, the food is also normal. And at the price at which it was sold in December January February in Ukraine makes it almost perfect. A fly in the ointment in this event is the sea. In this bay, the sea, which was pretty much overwhelmed by tourists, left a bit of an unpleasant aftertaste.
But in general, the trip left pleasant memories. And you can recommend the RIF OASIS BEACH hotel with a certain stretch.
For those who are interested, I add a small video report of the hotel
