Sentido Reef! Arrived on 03/20/2018 about settled at 18:30. Departure 29.03. 2018.
Fans of short comments - not here))
Foreword: I have never written reviews about hotels and vacations before, but always before a trip to a particular hotel, of course, like many, I still read reviews from other tourists. Of course I understand that some of the reviews are written by the hotel staff themselves or unscrupulous competitors.
So! Settled at about 18:30 on the street it was already dark. I’ll make a reservation right away, the first thing that confused me was the lack of lighting along the paths and the lack of lighting for the water park in general - then the next day I realized that lighting was not needed here and + savings probably. We went into the comfort room, we are resting 2 adults 2 children. There was a question about the lack of cots, I called the reception - they didn’t fix it right away, I called again -2 minutes, everything was fixed 30 times, they apologized!

We walked around the territory sooooo huge!
Impressions for the first 5 nights at Sentido reef:
In fact, Sentido reef and just reef oasis are one huge territory! Only in the territory near the sentido reception about 10-12!!! ! swimming pools, one heated. Tennis court, mini football field with grass! I thought it was for show-offs in hotels, but here I saw that they are really played very often. On the territory of reef oasis I did not count how many pools, but visually there are still the same number. There are no problems with sun loungers near the pools! What can not be said about the sea. The main life and movement (animation, games, exercises, contests, etc. at the sea from morning to evening. The journey by pleasure bus from sentido to the sea is about one and a half to 2 minutes without stopping (again, a large territory) buses every 5-10 minutes, you don't have to wait. Reef at the sea and fish, stingrays deserve special attention. I was 4 times in Egypt in different hotels, I think that here is the most beautiful reef, although all my review is of course my personal opinion, but I think someone will come in handy for making a decision .
In the evening, Sentido remains a quiet place to spend time, live music, hookah. But Reef oasis is the epicenter of entertainment. A large screen for watching football with a glass or two of cool beer or other drinks, a bar with live music and further disco, also a children's disco, animation performance, fire show and other entertainment program, hookah. In short, no one will be bored.
sentido privileges from reef - sentido guests can go to any restaurants located on their territory and on the territory of reef, including consuming everything that is included in the system (all inclusive) But reef oasis guests cannot visit institutions, sentido pools! There is a difference for me! I will not specify what exactly, in general, sentido seems to me better.

The rooms are basically like in all hotels in Egypt, not to mention Rixos was not there. But we come here not because of the hotel room. The sun loungers in sentido are better (not killed).
Staff: everyone is friendly, no one climbs into his pocket for baksheesh (one dollar). They will carry to the pool to drink, drink as much as you need. If something doesn't work, it will be fixed immediately. I need an iron / please 1 minute! If you want to go for a swim in the sea to see the reef yourself without children, the animator will take the children without any problems!
What else - the Internet, only at the reception, the speed allows you to talk over video communication, in the evening the speed of course drops. I mainly use mobile internet.
As for food: everything is quite tasty, there is practically no tasteless food. Lots of meat, poultry, fish. From seafood, squid (delicious), crabs (not very). Rice, spaghetti, cereals, mashed potatoes, soups, vegetables and desserts are all delicious. It should be noted that in Sentido, unlike reef, they don’t give melon, watermelon, strawberries, but this is not a problem)) we have dinner at Mo’s (the main restaurant of sentido) and for fruit we go for a walk and drop in at the main restaurant reef (le giaconda). But the reef territory also has a grill restaurant in the evening, and two more restaurants by the sea - we haven’t been to them yet)).
Crap !! ! Forgot about the water park! The slides are super, there are no transitions on the slides, the joints from which would hurt the back (I had a bitter experience in another hotel in Egypt)...
P. S. I think we'll be back here!
