Good afternoon! We rested with my husband in Egypt for the 4th time, but for the first time with a small child (8 months) in this hotel, we only took rooms at the Reef Oasis Sences Resort - these are new buildings with new infrastructure based on the Reef Oasis Beach Resort. She herself did not understand how it was until she saw it with her own eyes. the hotel is really located in the most advantageous place of Sharm, in a bay where there is practically no wind and a beautiful reef, it is difficult to find a new hotel, so they have updated and rebuilt the modern half of the hotel. I must say right away that the hotel is huge, so not for lazy people. We were with a child and with a stroller and walked well and went to the beach having gathered, as if for a whole day. The resettlement went perfectly in the new reception, in principle everyone is settled there. The only drawback of the new rooms is that they are far from the sea, and the old buildings are in the near part, but they are so shabby, as in the photo of the site. They all use the same territory and common privileges. so many things.
Sences rooms in a modern style, two-story buildings, where there is a huge pool near each, and access from the balcony to the pool. I will say right away that it is absolutely not noisy, because so many pools are not able to occupy even the full occupancy of the hotel. The room was cleaned well.
The beach is huge, there were always free sun beds, near the pool too, there were always enough towels, always clean in all parts of the hotel. It happened that we changed them 3 times a day: on the beach, near the warm children's pool, and after dinner heated near the Sences restaurant. I counted 3 heated pools, maybe more. The first time was in November, I was faced with the fact that it was quite cool in the evening (we went in sports jackets) and didn’t swim in the cold pools, we left the heated pool and immediately wrapped in a towel. The sea is very warm and it burns decently in the sun during the day. a map of the hotel where you can figure out what's what. There is a large water park, but also with cold pools, so almost no one swam or rode the slides, although in September, I think there were a lot of people there.

The only problem for us was mosquitoes, a lot of greenery, and they just flew into the room in a swarm, and bit the child badly. then everything calmed down. But it's not the hotel's fault, the hotel was cleaned every day, so just be prepared and bring funds with you.
I was just pleasantly pleased with the food, squid and pasta with seafood for dinner every day, a lot of TASTY COOKED meat (which is not typical for Egypt), fish, chicken, even duck and grilled meat. bar with 3-5 ice cream (comparable to scholler), you can always have a bite if you didn’t have time for lunch: pizza (made in front of you), hamburgers, salads. For breakfast: natural bacon (very tasty), Danone and Activia yogurts, well, everything else, like everywhere else, buns, pancakes, omelettes, sausages. By the way, breakfast at the grill restaurant, on a rock with a gorgeous view of the Red Sea! Fruits: pomegranates, bananas, oranges - always. Even the baby was fed partly from the common table!
Sea: the entrance is sandy, but the water is knee-deep, and then a shallow reef (take shoes) and from the pontoon there is a chic deep, large reef where you can swim endlessly!
In the shisha bar and animation every evening free hookah!
The animation was also pleasantly surprised, the first day we were upset, there was some kind of mediocre comedy Kalash, and then there was a belly dance, and a fire show, a yogi walked on glass and national dances, it’s normal. The disco is there, on the street with modern music.
The staff is very cultured and friendly, I don’t know who was ignored there, they always brought us an order, seated us in a restaurant and paid attention, and scared us 10 times: is everything okay! And the child was not left alone at all, they played, smiled and entertained.
My husband and I were skeptical in Egypt, because. we have already seen everything, and were pleasantly surprised that everyone wanted to return to this hotel again and only had pleasant impressions. Well, it seems that everything, visually everything is in the pictures.
