Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
By Axel Hernborg · Updated 30 August 2026 · How we review hotels
Reef Oasis Blue Bay Resort & Spa is a practical option for snorkellers and families seeking an active, pool-focused holiday. It holds a 9.1 Booking.com score across 2,279 reviews and a Google rating of 4.7 from 12158 reviews. Highlights include a house reef, an on-site water park, and convenient proximity to the airport, with rooms priced at ‐190 per night. On the downside, wireless internet connection is limited to public areas, and the resort maintains a high-energy atmosphere that may not suit those seeking quiet seclusion.
Guests score it 9.1 out of 10 — the average across the 16 hotels we list in Sharm El Sheikh is 9.3.
The 30-second verdict
What Guests Loved
- The resort features direct access to a private beach with a vibrant house reef, allowing guests to snorkel and dive directly from the shore.
- Situated just over one mile from Naama Bay and three miles from the airport, the resort minimizes transit times for travelers.
Things to Consider

- The water park and family amenities can create a bustling environment, though quieter spots can be found near the adult-focused pool areas.

Reviews from Google“Hotel has one of the best picturesque views on the bay. Stunning coral reef is located just in front of the hotel. Multiple swimming pools including one for adults only. Multiple areas where you can get a drink or food. Two main restaurants. Rooms and entire hotel area is very clean and well taken care off. Good food. I would really consider this hotel during my next visit to Sharm.”
“I'd like to leave a review because I recently stayed at this hotel with my boyfriend. First of all, I was impressed by the staff working there. Very hardworking, attentive, and caring. I also loved their uniforms. Special thanks to the bartender Hamada for his dedication. The food was absolutely delicious. Lots of appetizing desserts, flavorful fruits, variety… The cleanliness was also excellent. We had everything we needed. We didn't lack anything. Wonderful beach, especially the coral reef, which is impressive. One small issue was that the wifi didn't reach everywhere. Thank you, Reef Oasis Blue Bay, for an unforgettable vacation experience. I confidently recommend it. 10/10”
“Gorgeous! The complex is huge and I'm sure we missed bits and we were there 10 days. Had a amazing holiday, amazing staff and we will definately be going back!! We went with Tui. Some tips: Do not book a city tour with Rep. We heard so many complaints and decided not to go, guests found it intimidating and uncomfortable, ladies were not allowed in the mosque (never forewarned), getting shut in shops etc - we heard negative comments constantly. The boat trip (snorkelling) - don't waste your money, the scenery is very poor at Ras Muhammed & White Island compared to years ago, very disappointing - you will see more fish off the Jetty at hotel. Also, the staff and photographer on board are very pushy and we saw some guests being ripped off! For the size of the hotel there is only 1 cash machine, which is always out of money BUT, its not well known, there is another cash machine in the security office and they were happy for us to use that machine. The hotel buggy will take you there. The alcoholic drinks around the pool were awful - kept trying! The Watersports Hut on the beach - typical gift of the gab but what we did was superb and worth every penny. We took the speedboat €100 per couple for approx 2½ hours. This trip was the best of the holiday. We were taken to an area of crystal blue clear waters for amazing snorkelling and then onto see dolphins - superb! We also did the sofa tube - never laughed so much in my life, we did buy photos, wish I'd haggled as they were of poor quality and at £40 were the most expensive price offered the whole holiday. We also did Quad biking with Tui. My husband really enjoyed this and at the Bedwin tent stop I managed to get him on a camel, €6 for both of us. The photos were well worth the £25! The Spa at hotel. We had the full couples massage 75 mins. Haggled to £115 per couple, it was so exceptional that we did it again. Ladies, no dignity here, my legs were positioned at all angles from up on her shoulders to in a frog position on my tummy bearing in mind your wearing a mesh thong! But the whole treatment was outstanding and I am a masseuse! We were also lucky to be able to keep our room until 6pm at an additional cost of £45. This needs to be booked the morning before the day off departure. The Pharmacy onsite, ask for price first. I needed antihistamine cream and mouthwash £32, for something you could of got at Superdrug for £5!”
“Rooms The rooms are clean, but the furniture and equipment are old. Overall, if you only come to sleep, it is not a problem at all. Wi-Fi The Wi-Fi is excellent throughout the hotel, from the room to the beach. The signal is stable and everything loads well. You do not even need to buy a SIM card. Staff The staff are very friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist. Especially if you leave a tip for the housekeeper or bartender, the service is excellent. Food The food is varied and delicious. The hotel has 2 buffet restaurants and 4 additional restaurants. Two of them can be visited once for free with a reservation. The coffee is very good. There are pastries, pasta, desserts, meat, and seafood. Tea, coffee, white wine, red wine, and beer are all tasty. Beach The reef is long and full of marine life. There are many colorful fish. The pontoon is short, which is very convenient. There is a beach bar where you can get pizza, hot dogs, French fries, beer, alcoholic drinks, and soft drinks. The hotel also organizes sports activities and games on the beach, such as darts, volleyball, yoga, Zumba, and foam parties. There are plenty of sunbeds, and it is always easy to find a free one. Pools The hotel has several swimming pools. There is a pool with water slides (3 slides, although one was not working) and another pool with a beautiful sea view. The pools are clean and the water is warm. Towels Very convenient. Towels are provided both at the pool and on the beach. Hotel Grounds The hotel grounds are large and beautiful. There is a cactus garden, lots of greenery, and palm trees. An electric shuttle runs from the reception every 5 minutes. Evening Entertainment Every evening there is some kind of entertainment or show. For example, dancing, karaoke, Egyptian night, and more. There is also a bar where a live music band performs every evening. Guests Many guests are from Italy and CIS countries. The atmosphere everywhere is friendly and pleasant. I highly recommend this hotel for a vacation. I will also add some photos.”
“I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel in Egypt! From the moment I arrived, everything was perfectly organized, and the staff made me feel truly welcome. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the atmosphere throughout the hotel was relaxing and enjoyable. The food was delicious with a great variety of options every day, and the location was simply beautiful — perfect for a peaceful and memorable vacation. I especially loved the warm weather, the stunning views, and the overall positive vibe of the place. A special and heartfelt thank you to the animation team! You made this holiday truly unforgettable. Your energy, friendliness, and daily activities brought so much fun and joy to every day. Whether it was games, shows, or just your smiles and good mood — you created an amazing experience for all guests. Thank you for such an incredible отдых — I will definitely come back again!”
