We had been going on vacation for a long time, we wanted to go to the Reef Oasis Beach Resort, but since he was on the foot for a long time, and the ticket to the Reef Oasis Blue Bay Resort & Spa 5 * flew out, we decided to go here. We were in Egypt 9 times, so we understood well what we want from the rest. Traveled with my husband. We bought a ticket, our hotel was indicated in the voucher and flew off. We flew through Join UP. We flew to Egypt, we were met by the manager of the host, put on the bus and began to tell what a bad hotel it was, that there were a lot of complaints from tourists about it, that there was nothing to eat there, etc. , that there was a problem with the settlement and they offered us a replacement to the Maritim Jolie Ville Resort & Casino hotel, I’ll say right away that this is a terrible hotel, we knew about it and refused to go there, but after standing for 5 hours under the sun, we agreed not to check in, but to talk about an alternative hotel on the territory of the Maritim Jolie Ville Resort &Casino.

Upon arrival, they wanted to force us to settle there, on our refusal, we, 5 families in which there were small children, just threw them there and ran away.

Join UP ignored our calls and did not want to resolve the issue of accommodation in a hotel according to the purchased vouchers. We took a taxi and moved together to Reef Oasis Blue Bay Resort & Spa 5*. We didn't even have armor there. Having met there another same group of tourists who arrived in Egypt 2 hours earlier, we called the tourist police. The hotel staff tried to help us in this situation, offered to go to lunch and called the management of the host. As a result, they gave us 4 rooms for all of us and offered Albatros and Charmillion Club Resort 5. My husband and I were lucky, we were settled in the reef, although we were already ready to fly home, because our vacation was ruined.

And now about the hotel.

It is located close to the airport, it takes about 15 minutes by taxi, it is quite isolated, there are two checkpoints, it is very difficult for a stranger to get in (they don’t even wear bracelets). Taxi to Naama $8, to the old town $15.
Very beautiful and large territory, a lot of greenery, there is a corner of cacti, there is a water park area, a big plus is the relaxation zone for adults - 16+ (the most delicious cocktails with beautiful design are made here), only adults are there, the hotel staff monitors this, there is diving -center and incredibly beautiful infinity pool overlooking the sea, where the illusion of blurred boundaries between the sea and the pool is created, as well as a panoramic jacuzzi zone! Very convenient descent to the beach by elevator.

The beach is large, the sun loungers are new, after lunch there is a lot of free space, in the morning it is difficult to find a place, because many vacationers take two sun loungers with one towel or clothes, they do this both on the beach and near the pool, if there was one towel on each sun lounger, then there were no problems with a place on the beach, vacationers themselves are to blame.
The reef is very beautiful, but dying a little, 10 years ago it was much better and there were more fish, if you can't swim or are afraid, you can rent a life jacket - $ 3.

The sea is gorgeous. There is a bar on the beach where they make hamburgers, pizza, french fries, vegetables, serve alcohol, water, juices, cola ...The staff is very friendly and always ready to help you throughout the hotel, we bought mangoes in the old town and asked us to cut on the beach, always cut in the shape of a beautiful hedgehog with a smile on his face. They are all so friendly that they want to smile back.


Cleaning is normal, towels are changed every two days, new ones are packed, which is very cool, beach towels were transferred to cards, it's very convenient, they give two 1.5l bottles of water every day. in the room, there is a kettle, tea, coffee, sugar, mugs, saucers and glasses. Every other day they put new shampoos, gels and body lotion.
The territory is always clean, mosquitoes are poisoned in the evening, everything is watered and washed in the morning.

The food is good, every day there were a lot of different fruits - pomegranates, persimmons, quinces, apples, pears, melons, bananas, dates, oranges, grapes, grapefruits; a lot of different greens, salads, beef, chicken, fish, seafood - squid, crabs, octopuses, tuna; a lot of side dishes, lasagna, various soups, borscht, cereals, a lot of desserts, yogurts ...You can make an appointment for dinner at the Italian restaurant Al Dente or Oriental Sunset by appointment. In Al Dente you can order from the menu, a wide range of real Italian dishes and desserts, in Sunset - a buffet. There are three restaurants for breakfast and two for lunch, which is very convenient.
The animation team worked on the beach in the morning and by the pool with slides in the afternoon. Evening animation program was for children and adults, but we did not attend.
I recommend going to the old city, where you can buy mangoes and go to the Fish Mart cafe, there are very tasty seafood and seafood soup, a very beautiful serving, if you buy with you - the price is cheaper.
Our vacation was wonderful, if you forget about the first day, Reef Oasis Blue Bay Resort & Spa 5 * is a hotel where you want to return, we will come here again, but definitely not through Join UP. I do not recommend flying and buying tickets through Join UP!!! ! I took off one star for the first day and exhausted nerves.
