I am writing a review only because I myself chose a hotel based on reviews, perhaps it will be useful to someone. Only relying on reviews, you need to be aware that all people are different and drawing information from reviews, you still need to take this into account : ))
And yet, we did not go to play the Inspector or look for shortcomings, we went to rest and all 11 days were in a great mood! Therefore, I did not photograph any cons, spots, cracks, etc. ))
And I’ll immediately write about wi-fi)) For some reason, this is very important for many)) As for me, it’s certainly stupidity to go on vacation and surf the Internet, but to each his own) Wi-fi is bad. he is only at the reception and you won’t connect at all in the evening, more or less during the day. Who cares about the Internet - there is a shop on the territory of the hotel, buy a water phone sim there and you will have excellent Internet. $5 - 1.5 gig.

We chose the hotel for a very long time and carefully, because if in the end you don’t like the hotel, it’s better to let me blame myself for this than a travel agent or someone else)
I will say right away that the tour was taken from Join Up. And extremely happy with it!
On the way from the airport, we stopped at many hotels, brought people in. Most went to Blue Bay Reef Oasis. These are hotels of the same chain, but completely different price categories, they should not be compared. Blue Bay is much cheaper. In general, we drove to our hotel ourselves, which somehow alerted)) True, the guide said "Guys, but you chose a good hotel, " which slightly cheered))
We were at the reception at 8 in the morning, immediately put on bracelets and sent for breakfast.
At 9 we were already settled. We took the number Preferend Promo. These are the cheapest rooms, but they have the best location - very close to the sea. We had the best room of this category (thanked $ 20 for this). The room is very large, with a huge bed, two exits (leaving the main pool a stone's throw away, going out to the other side you can see the sea).
The number is tired. It looks like the furniture is good quality. It was once just gorgeous) But time takes its toll. We had everything and always clean, they cleaned well (sometimes they left tea, sometimes they forgot - they cleaned equally well). The floors were always washed, cosmetics were always replenished, towels were always changed. On the first day they asked to put two bottles of water instead of one - they put two.
In general, we are completely satisfied with the room, especially its location! We took a room of this category not because it was cheaper, but because the girl from the hotel immediately told us (the travel agent contacted her) that these rooms have the best location.

Food, as for me, is just for slaughter. Three restaurants. Two operate in the mode of breakfast-lunch-dinner, the third grill restaurant - dinner. There is always a lot of different food, there are never queues, no matter what time you arrive (even if 10 minutes before closing, you still always have all the food). Of the seafood, there were often octopuses in different variations. The main restaurant Citadel stands right above the sea, a very beautiful view, always had breakfast there. There are no air conditioners in the restaurants, there are fans all over the ceiling. I don’t understand why people were hot while eating)) we weren’t there)) Don’t sit in the sun and no problems) It’s not hot in restaurants, all the doors are open, the air is walking.
Lots of bars. Very much) We chose two) one round the clock, they still make pizza around it all night (and there are some other snacks), so you can drink and eat all night)) The second is my favorite, overlooking the sea! Located near a large pool, over the sea, open until 2 am.
You can have a bite to eat on the beach, which is very convenient when you do not want to go for lunch. For me, the best time on the beach is lunchtime) many disperse, the beach is empty, there is almost no one in the water - swimming is a pleasure! On the beach - water (fanta, cola, sprite, ordinary sparkling water, just water), juices (I would not say that they are like yuppies, as many write, they are just more like nectars from bags that are sold in our markets), tea and coffee - it's all freely available, you don't have to ask anyone, he came up and poured it. From food - burgers, hot dogs, french fries (everything is separately in containers, you make whatever sandwiches you want), pizza is made from 11 to 18 (very tasty with anchovies). They work from 10 to 18.
The beach is excellent. There is always a free place, you can always find a place in the shade. We always went to the right of the pontoon, somehow it is more comfortable and usually calmer there, since all large Arab families or noisy Italian companies did not go there))
Contingent! The bulk are Italians. Animation on the beach is only in Italian (maybe this is important to someone, we didn’t care at all). They are noisy! ) but positive)) There are Arabs, but they are much smaller. There are Ukrainians, Kazakhs, Belarusians.
Due to the fact that the territory of the hotel is very large, there are many bars-restaurants, no one bothers, everyone is somehow dispersed throughout the territory and there is no one place, for example, crowds of Arabs or crowds of Italians.

The reef on this beach is very beautiful! every day people are brought to this reef. Ships stay all day near the beach. Some people may not like it, it didn't bother us at all. People from ships do not swim to the beach)
You can swim from the shore and from the pontoon. From the shore, the depth is chest-deep for men. Suitable for children. Although we saw stingrays, sea urchins, and poisonous stone fish near the shore. Personally, I would not let children swim there. In general, it seems to me that for families with children it is better not to choose Sharm.
There is a Hotel Sentido on site. These are hotels of the same chain, Sentido is more expensive. Probably because of the new numbers. But I didn’t like the location at all, their rooms are closer to the exit from the hotel, the beach is far away. Guests of Reef Oasis Beach have access to the water park and the Sentido Gym.
Everything is mixed up on the beach, Oasis Beach yellow towels, blue Sentido. Sentido has its own part of the beach, but it's usually empty.
Towelets on the beach and sun loungers are clean, but also tired. You might not like it either. For me, this is a trifle)
There is a lifeguard on the pontoon who is really constantly carefully watching everyone in the water.
Swimming, fish, reef - a separate issue! you can talk forever! beauty unreal!
Sailed on an excursion on a yacht to Ras Mohammed - loved it! We went to Cairo with an overnight stay - insanely satisfied! For Cairo, buy a visa immediately at the airport, $25. Do not go to Cairo without spending the night! it will be very hard! And with an overnight stay, a lot of fun! True, this is for those who really want to see the real Egypt, who are interested in history, who consider the pyramids a wonder of the world, and not "but those pyramids, there is nothing to see there"))) For lovers of a purely hotel and "all-inclusive" - ​ ​ do not waste time, you will not understand anything and remain dissatisfied). We drove to Cairo for 8 hours, spent the night on a ferry that stands on the Nile River.
Organization of excursions at Join Up at the highest level! Everything is very well thought out and comfortable!

When you leave the hotel - a huge water park. A 10-minute walk Il Mercato (shops-cafes-McDonald's-CFS-Fares fish restaurant. ) By taxi $ 2 Old Market - a huge market.
In general, we are extremely satisfied with the hotel! There were no cons for my husband and I. We've had a lot of fun! I can definitely recommend this hotel!
If you have any questions, write, I will definitely answer in detail. Unfortunately, there is no time to write an even more detailed review.
