Grand Oasis Resort: Your Sharm El Sheikh Paradise Awaits!

Grand Oasis Resort Sharm El Sheikh Egypt

Grand Oasis Resort: Your Sharm El Sheikh Paradise Awaits!

Alright, let's dive into the Grand Oasis Resort in Sharm El Sheikh. Buckle up, folks, because this isn't your typical buttoned-up review. Consider this more like spilling the beans after a week of sun, sand, and let's be honest, probably some questionable poolside cocktails.

The Good, the Bad, and the Definitely-Worth-It-If-You-Know-What-You're-Getting

Accessibility: (And Pray It's Actually Accessible)

Okay, let's rip off the bandage first. While the checklist for accessibility is there (Facilities for disabled guests exist!), I've seen too many "accessible" hotels that are… less than. I really hope Grand Oasis delivers on this front. Check, triple-check, and then quadruple-check if accessibility is a priority. Don't just trust the brochure, call and grill them, ask for photos, and ideally, find reviews from actual wheelchair users. This one's a big "prove it" for me.

On-Site Grub & Sip Spots: Eat, Drink, and Pray You Don't Get the "Sharm Shivers"

Alright, the food scene. Let's start with what's supposed to be there:

• Restaurants: They mention a bunch, International, Asian, Vegetarian… promises, promises! I crave a decent vegetarian option when I travel.
• Bars: Poolside bar? Crucial. Happy hour? Essential. I need liquid sunshine to accompany my sun.
• Coffee/Tea: Gotta have it! Because, let's face it, after those poolside cocktails, you need all the caffeine you can get!
• Room Service (24-hour): Because sometimes you just can't face leaving your perfectly air-conditioned room.

My Personal Food-Related Nightmare Experience (Just for Fun!)

Okay, so, the buffet. Bless its heart, it tries. But buffets, especially in resort settings, can be hit or miss. One time, I ate something at a resort buffet, that I later suspected may have been a rogue, sentient potato. Long story short, let's just say I spent the next 24 hours intimately acquainted with the porcelain throne. The takeaway? Trust your gut. If something looks suspect, it probably is. (I'm looking at you, suspiciously green jello.) Good hygiene, individually wrapped options, and food safety… a MUST for this resort!

Cleanliness & Safety: COVID-19? More like "COVID-Gone-Away-From-Me"

Okay, let's talk reality. The world is still a bit…icky. The good news? The resort lists a bunch of cleaning procedures: Anti-viral stuff, daily disinfection, staff training, sanitizer galore, etc. This is crucial. I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed that they actually follow through.

Rooms & Creature Comforts: Your Mini-Fortress of Air Conditioning!

Alright, the rooms. This is where you'll spend a significant portion of your time (hopefully sleeping!). They seem to have the essentials:

• Air Conditioning: Praise be!
• Free Wi-Fi: A must.
• Minibar: Always welcome.
• Safe Box: Lock up your valuables!
• Complimentary Tea/Coffee: Good
• Bathrobes & Slippers: Excellent. Because who wants to walk on cold tile after a shower?

Things to Do! (And How to Avoid Becoming One with the Loungers)

Alright, beyond the beach and the pool (more on those later), what's on offer?

• "Ways to Relax": Massage, Spa, Sauna, Steamroom, Foot bath - Sounds divine! Give me all the pampering!
• Fitness Center: Gotta feel like you deserve those cocktails.
• Swimming Pool(s): They've got multiple, including one with a view. That's what I'm talking about!
• For the Kids: Babysitting, kids facilities, kids meals… if you're traveling with the little terrors, this is important.

The Pools: The Lifeblood of a Resort (And My Ultimate Happy Place)

I NEED a good pool. And Grand Oasis has multiple swimming pools, including an outdoor one! I need a pool with a view, because lounging beside the water and gazing out at the ocean is my jam.

The Imperfections & My Little "Why I'm Annoyed" List

Okay, nobody's perfect, including this resort (probably). Here's where I get a little grumpy:

• “Smoking Area”: Ugh. Please keep it far away from my perfectly clean air!
• The Lan issue: LAN internet? Seriously? Who uses LAN in this modern world?
• The lack of Pets availability: As a pet lover I'm annoyed, please be pet friendly!

The Elevator: A Love/Hate Relationship

Elevators are a necessity, but let's be honest, elevators in resorts can be a gamble. Are they slow? Will they be crowded? Will you be stuck with a dude in a speedo and a questionable tan? We'll see!

Getting Around: Airport Transfer & Other Transportation Magic

Airport transfer? Please, YES. After a long flight, the last thing you want is to wrestle with a taxi. Car parking? Sounds good. Valet? Fancy!

The Grand Oasis Resort: The Big Sell & The "Book Now!" Jab

Okay, so, overall? Grand Oasis Resort is promising. It's got a ton of potential, from the pools to the spa to all that cleaning and health stuff. And for the love of all that's holy, if the food's decent, I might actually stay.

Grand Oasis Resort Sharm El Sheikh Egypt

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because here's my attempt at a Grand Oasis Resort itinerary in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. Emphasis on attempt. Let's be honest, my travel style is more "winging it and hoping for the best" than meticulously planned. But hey, that's where the fun is, right? (Right? Please tell me I'm right…)

Day 1: Arrival and Sunstroke (Probably)

• Morning (God, I hate mornings…): Arrive at Sharm El Sheikh International Airport (SSH). After a hilarious negotiation with a taxi driver who clearly thought I was made of money (spoiler: I'm not), we finally arrive at the Grand Oasis. Check-in. Hopefully discover the air conditioning actually works in my room. Pray.
• Mid-day: Poolside Pandemonium: Locate pool. Don't forget your sunscreen. (I will. I always do.) Settle into a sun lounger. Attempt to read my book but get distracted by the sheer audacity of the sun, the endless supply of fruity cocktails with those annoyingly vibrant umbrellas, and the surprisingly competitive game of water polo going on in the middle of the pool.
  • Anecdote Alert: Last time I did all of this I ended up with such a bad sunburn I resembled a lobster who’d been tangoing with a toaster. I seriously considered getting a tarantula tattoo, just to distract from it.
• Afternoon: The Great Buffet Battle: Lunch. The buffet. A culinary war zone. So many choices, so little self-control. I’m aiming for a graceful graze; I'll probably end up face-first in a vat of hummus.
  • Quirky Observation: The portion sizes in the buffet are insane. It's like they're prepping for a zombie apocalypse.
• Evening: Dinner Disaster (Maybe): Explore the resort restaurants. Will I navigate the menus with confidence, or will I accidentally order a dish that’s still actively breathing? Find out! Hopefully. Also, maybe a post-dinner cocktail or two at the bar, watching the sunset (fingers crossed for a good one).
  • Emotional Reaction: I'm already feeling a sense of dread about having to wear shoes for a full day. Sandals are my jam.

Day 2: Snorkeling and Sand (And Possibly a Little Panic)

• Morning: Boat Trip Bonanza: Sign up for the snorkeling excursion. (I hope there are no sharks. I have seen Jaws. I’m not coping with a shark.) Take a boat trip out to the coral reefs of the Red Sea. Gawk at the fish. Try not to swallow too much saltwater.
  • Messier Structure & Rambles: Okay, so the idea of snorkeling is great, right? Beautiful fish, vibrant coral… But the reality? I'm a terrible swimmer. I panic in open water. I'm basically a land-bound creature forced into a watery doom. I'll try my best to look graceful and not constantly choke on my snorkel. Pray for me. (Again.)
• Mid-day: Beach Bliss (and Sand Everywhere): After a successful (hopefully) snorkeling adventure, relax on the beach. Attempt to build a sandcastle that doesn't immediately collapse. Fail miserably.
  • Stronger Emotional Reaction: The sand is everywhere! In my hair, in my swimsuit, in my eyes, in my… well, you get the idea. I might need a vacation from this vacation.
• Afternoon: Poolside Reprieve (Maybe): Retreat to the pool (away from the sand). Read (if I can focus). Sip a cocktail. Contemplate the meaning of life (and the best way to get the sand out of my ears).
• Evening: Attempt at Entertainment: Check out the resort's evening entertainment. The options: a belly dancing show (tempting), a karaoke night (terrifying). Let's go with the belly dancing – I've always wanted to learn the moves, I'll probably have to drink a lot before trying them.

Day 3: Camel Ride Conundrum and Souk Shenanigans

• Morning: Desert Adventure: Take a camel ride into the Sinai desert. Look at the desert. Maybe feel adventurous.
  • Doubling Down on an Experience: Okay, the camel ride. I was VERY excited by the idea, but my back muscles… well, they're not. It felt like riding a giant upholstered ironing board. It was bumpy, it was awkward, and my dignity took a serious hit. I did, however, get some epic photos.
• Mid-day: Souk Shopping Spree: Visit a local souk (market). Bargain for souvenirs (or at least attempt to). Get lost in the maze of shops. Buy something I probably don't need.
  • Opinionated Language: Be prepared to be relentlessly haggled. It's part of the experience, but it can also be exhausting. Stay strong, and don't pay more than you absolutely have to.
• Afternoon: Spice and Tea Time: Find a local tea shop and savor the unique taste. Observe some local life.
• Evening: Farewell Feast (Hopefully Less Disaster-Prone): One last dinner at the resort. Reflect on my trip. Try to avoid any final culinary catastrophes.

Day 4: Departure and Dreams of Loungers

• Morning: Last Swim: Final dip in the pool. Say goodbye to the sunshine.
• Mid-day: Check out and airport journey: Check out of the hotel. Leave for the airport. Pray the flight isn't delayed.
• Afternoon: Dreams of home: Get on the plane. Watch the plane take off. Arrive back home and start planning the next adventure.

There you have it! My (probably overly optimistic) Grand Oasis Resort itinerary. Remember, this is just a suggestion. Embrace the chaos, the sand, the potential sunburn, and the sheer, unadulterated weirdness of travel. And most of all, have fun! (Even if, like me, you’re not entirely sure how)

Grand Oasis Resort Sharm El Sheikh Egypt

Okay, so, Grand Oasis Resort... Worth the hype?

Alright, look, "hype" is a strong word, right? Depends what you're after. Some folks rave, like they’ve found the lost city of Atlantis. Others, well, let's just say their expectations weren't quite *met*. I'll be honest, it's a mixed bag. Think of it like a giant, glittery buffet... some dishes are Michelin-star worthy, others... well, let's just say they're best avoided after a couple of too many fruity cocktails. It's *Sharm El Sheikh*, for crying out loud! Paradise, if you manage your expectations and don't end up sunburnt on day one.

Tell me about the rooms. Are they, like, *clean* clean?

Okay, let's get real. Cleanliness… it's a spectrum, isn’t it? My room? Look, I’m a bit of a germaphobe, I'm not going to lie. The sheets seemed clean enough, which is Priority number one. The bathroom... well, it depends which part of the bathroom you focus on. Let's just say you're not going to mistake it for a hospital operating room, but it was... functional. Just bring extra wipes. And maybe your own air freshener. I swear I saw a gecko that kept disappearing in the corners of the room... he seemed to be living his best life. He was part of the experience, honestly.

The food! The most important question. Spill the beans.

Ah, the food. This is where things get *interesting*. Honestly, the buffet is your friend. It's a *lot* like a school cafeteria, but with more options and international food. There are theme nights, which are fun (ish). The Italian night was... okay. The Egyptian night was a revelation. Get yourself a shawarma at the snack bar during the day, that was the best thing I ate for a week! I mean, the food isn't gourmet, but you *will* find something you like. Just... pace yourself. Don’t be that guy who fills their plate with everything and then leaves half of it. (I may have been that guy on day one. Don’t judge!)

What about the pools? Are they as amazing as the pictures?

Pictures? Oh, the *pictures*! They're… artfully taken. The pools are decent. They're a great way to cool off after the sun. But amazing? Let's just say they're pretty standard hotel pools. There are several, which is good, because they *do* get crowded. Be prepared for kids splashing, floaties everywhere, and that ever-present faint aroma of chlorine. Find a sun lounger early, or you'll be fighting for space like a gladiator. I did manage to get a lounger one afternoon, and it was pure bliss just reading my book in the sun.

The beach? Is it worth going to?

Okay, the beach... This is where Grand Oasis *Shines*. The beach is beautiful. Seriously, turquoise water, soft sand... it’s postcard perfect. Snorkeling is amazing. There are coral reefs right off the beach and tons of fish to see. The water is crystal clear. I spent a whole day there, just swimming and snorkeling and it was the best day of my life. The sun is INTENSE, though. Slather on the sunscreen, and then slather on some more. Seriously. And maybe wear a hat. You’ll thank me later.

What activities are there? Besides, you know, existing.

Oh, there's *stuff*. The resort offers daily activities, but honestly, I barely paid attention. The animation team is enthusiastic, but I was more of a "sit by the pool with a book" kind of person. There are water sports. You can go diving or snorkeling (DO IT!). There are evening shows, which are what they are... some are cheesy and the kids seem to love them. Overall, there is plenty to do.

What's the biggest pro? And con?

Okay, the biggest pro? The *beach*, without a doubt. Honestly? Incredible. And the price. You tend to get a LOT for your money. The biggest con? The crowds. It's a big resort, and sometimes it feels like you're sharing the experience with a LOT of other people. And occasionally, the food. (But I'm being harsh. I just prefer a restaurant with less of a buffet feel).

Is it a good place for families?

Yes, *absolutely*. If you have kids, it's a great choice. There are kids' clubs, dedicated pools, and plenty of activities to keep them entertained. It's a safe and secure environment, so you can relax and let them run wild. I saw families having a blast. It's built for families.

What about the staff? Are they friendly?

The staff... it’s a mixed bag. Most of them are lovely. They work incredibly hard and are genuinely friendly. The bar staff are great, constantly refilling your glass with something fizzy. Some are a bit less smiley, but hey, everyone has bad days. A little politeness and some good tips go a long way. Be nice, treat them with respect, and you'll be fine. I found that smiling at people and saying a simple "thank you" went a long way.

Would you go back to the Grand Oasis Resort?

Hmm... Honestly? Probably. For the price, the beach, and the overall experience, yeah, I'd consider it. I enjoyed it. You just have to know what you're getting into—a fun, slightly chaotic, possibly mosquito-filled (bring repellent!) adventure. I learned a lot, and had a good time. I left feeling relaxed and incredibly happy. It's not perfect, far from it, but it has a certain *something*. If you go, and the gecko's still there by the way, say hello for me, yeah?
