SENTIDO Reef Oasis Senses Resort

What an incredible holiday. The service was by far the best we as a large family have ever had. Everyday you are always greeted with a smile and nothing was ever too much. Ehab and his team in the restaurant thankyou so much for being amazing. Ali, Medhat and Bluebar especially around the pool and piano bar what incredible service everyday at all hours thankyou for remebering our big orders and always keeping an eye out for us and the kids. Overall we couldn't fault one part of our trip.

A wonderful stay at Sentido Reef Oasis I recently stayed at Sentido Reef Oasis last week and had a lovely holiday. The hotel has such a welcoming atmosphere and the staff made the experience even more special. I'd particularly like to mention Mariam, who works in the restaurant. She was so lovely, welcoming and kind, and made my stay even more memorable. I'd love for this message to reach her. If possible, could the hotel please pass on my thanks to her and ask whether she'd be comfortable sharing her instagram or another social media account with me? I'd really love to keep in touch with her, but completely understand if she would prefer not to :)

Location is great. Lots of shops and most needed stuff. You feel like you're in small city with everything in it. Plenty to do. Staff is lovely, they took care of us all the time. Food was very delicious. Our room attendant Waael was an artist 🥰. Very clean place. Special thanks to waiter Ali for his time. I recommend photo shots with Mido. Very professional, worth every penny.

The Sentido Reef hotel is a beautifully designed and spacious hotel. It is a huge complex with multiple restaurants, bars, swimming pools which gradually lead to the beach. We went with a group of 9 of us with 5 adults and 4 children. It has a peaceful vibe during the day with no loud music which stood out as a positive compared to other resorts we have stayed in. On the whole we spent the morning either at the pool or the water park and the afternoon by the sea. The aqua park is open at various times during the day and was good fun. It was functioning on a reduced capacity during our stay with not all the slides in use. The room we stayed in was large and comfortable and the cleaner Waal was very nice, thorough and respectful. The food in all the main buffet restaurants it of a good standard and has a good variety. There is also 3 à la carte restaurants which you can book. La Terrazza is an Italian themed restaurant and this was delicious, the variety was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Kebabgy was a grill restaurant and the most disappointing of all the à la carte restaurants. There was no choice of food but instead food was shoved in front of you. There was so much waste. It was very inconsistent with was a given, with 4 huge platters of meat put down with 1 small bowl of rice. Maharaja is the final à la carte restaurants which is an Indian themed restaurant with a beautiful sea view. This was a lovely restaurant and the food was very tasty. The beverages are not the best we have had in Egypt and the alcohol is a very poor quality and low in alcohol. The wine is grim and the beer tasteless and weak. The cocktails are also a poor quality. The staff at the hotel are generally pleasant. The service is very slow and it takes a long time in every location to be served with drinks. They don’t like you going to the bar and insist on taking your order and bringing it to the table but this is a very long process so just don’t go to get a drink when you’re thirsty. Very few members of staff stand out. The main reception bar there was a nice waiter and on the beach the man running the bar SENTIDO exclusive end of the beach was lovely. The rudest people we encountered was the barman at the waterpark and then at the bar by the mini disco (this one we did complain about during our stay). The beach is lovely, warm sea and right on the beautiful reef. This is the reason we booked this hotel and it didn’t disappoint. Again it isn’t the best we have visited in Sharm el Sheikh however it was a great spot. As always, the lifeguard is relentlessly blowing his whistle at idiots standing on the coral. Why this information isn’t handed out at reception is unknown to me. Educating holidaymakers on what is acceptable is key and knowledge of how damaging it is to the reef when touched is surely the simplest way of stopping this from happening. Instead, the whistle continues to be blown! The evening entertainment was ok. Our young children loved the mini disco and the dance show that followed. It got a bit samey but the kids loved it. Did we have a great holiday? … yes! It was lovely and the imperfections of the hotel didn’t affect that. Would we return to this hotel? …. No I wouldn’t come back to Sentido reef.

Recently stayed at the Sentido, Hotel is lovely, staff are fantastic from reception staff right down to housekeeping. Friendly and nothing was to much trouble, our room was spotless every day. Restocked fridge every day, platters of fruit left in our room. We asked for a twin room with separate beds ( as I was with my daughter and grandchildren, kids had their own beds, but we had a double which was a major problem, so had to sleep with my daughter. Pro's Beautiful surroundings and gardens, pools are fabulous ( although freezing at first), waiter service around the pool, plenty of sunbeds, towels supplied. Lifeguards very efficient. Both my grandchildren had a fall and they were there with ice packs, offering to call the Dr. Unfortunately there's some families who think they can do what they want, The restaurant was nice, bit noisy and staff rushing around a bit to much. Food plentiful, and something for everyone. Only issue is nothing is labelled (so beware of) We used the Italian, which was good, but found Food very salty. The Indian was fab, beautiful views, food was excellent. Although very rushed. Was taken there by buggy (due to my mobility) and picked up after dinner. Con's Although are room was nice and big, we found it very dark, there's a long mirror near the door, which is pointless as there's no plug to plug in a hairdryer, the mirror needs to be near the plug socket, (yes there's a hairdryer in the bathroom, but isn't great, after having a shower it's like a steam room. One thing that needs to be addressed is the bathroom itself, in need of a refurbishment, no hand rail, and an old fashioned shower, the floor gets slippery. Few tiles all cracked, The beach is lovely (if you can get on it) The grandchildren loved the waterpark, but parts are under construction. Overall we had a lovely time,
