Shark Bay Oasis

I stayed in a privately owned apartment within this resort. Initial impressions were not good, the reception had lots of upset people and the entrance had rubbish over flowing from the bins. However the staff dealt with us quickly gave us the keys and provided a golf kart to take our luggage to the apartment. The apartment we rented had issues some caused by the hotel maintenance such as dirty staircases however these were resolved after a few days. We wanted a resort that was quiet and relaxed this is exactly what we got. The swimming pools were well maintained, there was an access card for the lift which took you directly to the beach. On the beach the sun loungers were a good number we never had a problem to get at any time of the day and they were free of charge. The beach is a shingle type which was fine for us as we wanted to snorkel, there is a jetty for the Sharks Bay Oasis and steps down into the sea we were not disappointed as the snorkelling is fantastic huge variety of fish and sealife. There is a small shop at the entrance providing basics such as water, drinks, crisps etc but we took a taxi to a supermarket to buy what we needed for the week this was our only trip out of the resort. If you are looking for a quiet relaxing place with incredible snorkelling then this is an ideal place, just be aware the electricity and water is expensive the electric was approx 130egp per day, don’t let first impressions put you off.

The food is barely edible.. I was carrying myself to eat during my accommodation but by my last day there I almost threw up and went to buy snacks. When I checked in the bed sheets and blankets were not clean. The shower was broken and the cesspool was clogged. They take very long time after the set time for check-in to accommodate guests. There were multiple quarrels becoz of the delay. No professionalism in how they deal with guests. Very bad experience and won't in a million years repeat it. Here are pics of how many people are waiting to check in.
