Reef Oasis Blue Bay Resort And Spa, Sharm El Sheikh

We chose this hotel based on an excellent past experience in its brother Reef Oasis Beach hotel during 2007 where we enjoyed our time so much and moreover we also expected to have a better quality of everything as we have heard that it is better than the elder beach hotel specially it has a premium rate Our trip was from 3rd -7th of June 2010, the first trouble we faced was that the hotel name and location was not known to anyone in Sharm El Sheikh and there has been no sign to guide car drivers for the location however all neighbour hotel has signs at the beginning of the drive way to let people know where the hotel is. Once arrived to the hotel we checked in easily to a well furnished clean and spacious room and with some negatives like the TV was small and old fashioned compared to other hotels in Egypt who most of them have big LCDs, second the mini bar was not working efficiently and its door did not close, Third the Air condition was not powerful enough to cool the room during the hot day times The hotel architecture is simple and not luxurious but I like simple designs The location of the rooms deserve the word very bad as most of them are on gardens not looking at any swimming pools and no rooms have a sea view The location of the hotel is far from Neama bay and you have to take the shuttle bus then a taxi to get out of the hotel Coming to food and drinks you can find whatever you are looking for but you have to spend some effort to travel between food and drinks outlets according to a challenging schedule put by the hotel management and coming to the quality and as I am Egyptian and familiar with what is good and what is bad in this country I would judge the quality of food to equal a 3 to 4 stars hotel with very low to average quality of everything (Juice, Bread, cheese, oil, Chips, meat, fish, fruits .....etc ). Surprisingly when we planned to get the dinner in the fisherman's restaurant, we found that all the fish included for the all inclusive package are the lowest quality of frozen fish in the Egyptian markets which we normally do not eat which proved to me that the management is very conscious to saving The desserts are their biggest problem; Most of the hotels serve better qualities If you are Egyptian accompanying your family, watch out as the staff is exchanging a very bad language at the hotel depending on the fact that few guests can understand Arabic At the end I would say that we enjoyed our trip because we are in sharm however disappointed from the hotel management and policies

My partner and i went to this hotel when it had just opened,,, i can recomend it, it was lovely, the staff can not do enough for you, food was good but do book into the fish, italian and french restrant as they are worth it. The rooms are big as are the beds, the main body of the hotel it near the beach but your apartment/room is a little bit away but this is not a problem because if you have problem walking or a very high shoe they come and get you in a golf buggie its great!! The pools are wounderfull and and all diffrent. We would recomend if you do go out of the hotel to do the boat trip were you go snorcaling it is soooooo good, we saw sharks, clown fish and turtles as well as much more and the people looking after you were great. DO use a life jacket when it is given it makes for an easy swim and gives you time to have a really good look about and get a water proof camara.

Food was very good and varied (I'm a fussy eater) .Sun loungers a plenty never had to rush to get one. The gardens were superb making your walks to fascilities pleasurable.Staff were great. All in all we had a super holiday with no complaints at all. Bonus...only 10 mins from airport

i went their a few years ago and i loved it because i had neverf been to egypt. that hotel loved childeren and let me go behind the bar and help out with the custimers i am only 12 now. they welcome anyone with a free bottle of wine their best wine though i havent tasted it but it might have changed now so dont expect all of the free wine. i so cant wait to go their soon again. as i say to my friends if teres a first time theres a next time but it will be better!

This is the best hotel i have ever been to. It was clean, good food and great service and a nice relaxing place to be. What eles could you ask for out of a holiday?

Well, I've spent one week there on my own just before christmas. I have spent a very good time in this hotel and had a very good impression about this hotel. To summary the situation: Good points: 1)Rooms: very nice, spacious and clean. Nothing to say. Just an advice, as the village is extremely big, ask your agency or the hotel directly before you go to find yourself a room near the reception if you don't want to have to walk at least 300 meters everytime you want to go to the restaurants, reception and beach. 2)The service: always gentle, available and kind without being disturbing which is a great thing. It's always possible to drink and eat something at anytime of the day or the night! 3)The activities: the choice is incredible, fitness, spa, many pools, beach sunbathing, diving, water polo, beach volley,excursions, and even shopping within the village. Negative points: 1) The food: please avoid the main restaurant, even if you've got the choice, the quality of the overall, believe me, left a lot to be desired!!! 2)If there is probably a code of conduct for the staff of the hotel, there should be one as well for the clients. I have been sometimes badly surprised by the manners of some drunk people and the way some other people let their kids scream, break the material and disturb permanently the staff (a very good pianist and violonist plays every eve in the hotel, it has nearly never been possible to listen to his music quietly without having been surrounded by children's screams and chair noizes).

This place is really heaven on earth. I went there with allot of depression from my work, and when I got there I forgot everything..!! the place is super clean, the whole resort is new, the staff are so friendly that you feel you're staying in your village among your family (that! senscere they are!!) there are allot of swimming pools for all kind of water activities, the artificial river is tremendous, going under two bridges! there is another pool with slids for water games. if you want there is a special intertainment team waiting for you to arrive, so that they suggest to you group games, so even if you didn't know anyone, no worries, you have friends already there, friends you havn't met yet, but everyone is frienddly and they want you to have the ebst time ever. the atmosphere in general is so safe.. the security staff is everywhere without disturbing you. the ebach is unbelievably beautiful, service is everwhere, there is a free try scuba diving team on the beach, that would take you in a shallow scuba dive for free between the beautiful fish and corel of the red sea, and for some more euros you can go as deep as 40 meters ;) allot of activities are available only with 3 minutes ride from the resort, you can go in s safary on a quad bike into the desert of Sinai (awesome!!!) or you can go in a glass boat trip and watch the sea creatures in NAama bay, or you can go sailshooting (parashooting) pulled bya speedy launch boat in the bay also. allot of activities, great environment for a get away, free shuttle roaming around the resort all the time. and yes EXCELLENT FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD unbellllllllllllllllllievable!! oh !! my !! god!! i gaind no less than 5 kg in 5 days!! I couldn't stop eating!!! so in short words, the best place on earth. only a bit far from the city center and NO internet wireless..

This hotel caters for couples and the whole family.me and my now husband went to the blue bay resort for our honeymoon and found that the service, food, rooms, cleanliness of the rooms and resort were spectacular. If you tip well you will be more than looked after we tipped 20 egyption note which is generous. There is a great choice of restaurents we didnt get round to all of them as we only went for a week but the three we did get to was fantastic. I would also sergest going to ciaro it was very tiring but was well worth the money to see the pyramids and the difference in coulture.The snorkling is out of this world there is so much to see and for kids of all ages there is a great pool with slides and baby area and pool, with life gaurds around constantly.
