Just returned from Reef Oasis Blue Bay. We have been to sharm before but first time to this hotel. On arrival it is clear this is a quality hotel. The ground are manicured, the gardeners do a fantastic job. They are so friendly too, always saying good morning when we go to breakfast. Going with TUI means we could eat in Sunset court which is so much calmer and quieter. Again the staff are very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. TUI guest also get to eat once in all 3 of the speciality restaurants which is a nice touch. The rooms are nice and spacious. We initially got a room near the quiet pool. Which was ideal. The block are being decorated and unfortunately we had to move after 1 night. The room we were moved to really needed a refurb more as so much was wrong with this room. The following day we spoke with Emma from guest relations and she arranged for us to meet with her manager. We were moved to another room, this was a ground floor suite opposite the quiet pool again. So 3 rooms in 3 days, we were fed up with unpacking and repacking so we stayed with this room for the rest of the holiday. At the champagne welcome meeting for TUI guests to meet the management team we meet the General manager of the hotel. He was apologetic about our issues with rooms and shared with us his vision with the hotel. There is no denying the hotel is 20 years old but the plan is full steam ahead to bring the hotel to where it should for a 5 star. The hotel is also being extended to add another 300+ rooms with swim-up rooms and sea views. This will bring the hotel to 1000 rooms. The building work was very quiet and didn’t disturb our holiday at all. The beach is lovely with its own lifts to take you down, on the middle floor is a restaurant on the bottom floor is the beach with its own towel station, snack bar and toilets. Again really well kept. There is a activity pool outside the bay view restaurant where the entertainment team are. There is at completely the other side of the site z children’s are with kids club, play area, snack bar and towel station. This pool is huge too with water slides. Our favourite pool was the adult only Relax pool. The lifeguards help with towels and pillows. Big shout out to Gehad who kept us hydrated all day and plenty of snacks brought to us. He let us know when it was beer o’clock ! Fabulous guy so friendly and funny we would return to this hotel just to be spoiled by him :-) In the evening we ate in Sunset court again it was a mix of Asian, Indian and Chinese we said it was like having a take away every night. Always plenty of choice and quality food. So clean tidy and well managed, again the waiters were fabulous and catered for all that was required. We did eat in Bay view 1 evening but found it loud and more hustle and bustle but staff were again very welcoming we just preferred the relaxed feel of Sunset court. Lots of entertainment in the evening. The was a 24hr pub it was dark and absolutely freezing in there. The Caribbean bar which had its own roof top terrace and live bands every evening. Then there was the main entertainment through the shops. This was where the mini disco is followed by the nightly shows. Because the site is so big there are golf buggies and a bus which picks up and drops off at the bus stops constantly which is ideal if you have young children or cannot walk that far. Overall we had a fabulous 2 week and will return without a doubt.
