Escape to Paradise: Amwaj Oyoun Resort & Casino Awaits in Sharm El Sheikh!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the gloriously messy, occasionally sandy, and undeniably alluring world of Escape to Paradise: Amwaj Oyoun Resort & Casino in Sharm El Sheikh! This isn't just a review; it's a full-blown experience, complete with the good, the bad, and the slightly-too-much-sunscreen days. I'm aiming for a real review, the kind your best friend would give you after a week of cocktails and questionable decisions.
First Impressions & the Accessibility Angle (Because Let's Be Real, It Matters!)
Right, so getting there… Airport transfer – tick. They whisked me (and my mountain of luggage) away, no sweat. Airport transfer – smooth sailing! But about that accessible thing… This is where we start peeking behind the curtain. Facilities for disabled guests are listed, which is great. And an elevator, which is a must. I did a quick scan of the website before heading over, and it looked promising. (Always triple-check if you have specific accessibility needs, peeps – don't rely solely on my ramblings!)
For now, I'm going to trust the website to provide these accommodations. I'll update this review with more details as I receive more reports about this topic from other travelers. Access [CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside the property] I didn't spend any time to notice these CCTV's. I also don't remember paying special attention to fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, etc.
Rooms: Your Personal Oasis…Or Not?
Okay, let's talk rooms. Mine had air conditioning (thank the heavens!), a mini bar (stocked with some essentials – a little pricey, mind you), and that glorious free Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi [free] IN THE ROOM! – bless you, Amwaj Oyoun!). I'm particularly fond of the additional toilet in the room. The bathroom was, well, a bathroom. Clean, functional, and the hair dryer (a lifesaver) worked perfectly. Though, and this is a tiny gripe, the mirror could've been a tad brighter. But you're there to relax, right?
Bonus points: Blackout curtains! Slept like a baby, despite being fueled by copious amounts of caffeine and sheer excitement. The complimentary tea was a nice touch, too. And the daily housekeeping was spot-on. Clean towels every day? Yes, please! I can't resist the bathtub either, even though the water pressure was okay. I'm not particularly a fan of separate shower/bathtub although it suits me. The desk area wasn't the best for a laptop.
Important note Safe/security feature seemed pretty good. In-room safe box to stash the valuables - very reassuring!
Food, Glorious Food (And the Occasional Hiccup)
Alright, now to the most vital part: the grub! There's a whole shebang of options. Restaurants, Bars, and snacking. Restaurants in all of their glory offer A la carte, Asian cuisine, International cuisine, Vegetarian restaurant, Western cuisine. Breakfast in restaurants with a stunning Breakfast [buffet], Asian breakfast, Western breakfast.
The breakfast buffet was an absolute beast! Seriously, a beast. You could assemble your own sushi rolls (a bit questionable at 8 am, but hey, no judgment!), get your eggs cooked to order, and load up on pastries that were pure temptation. Now, I’m not gonna lie, the second day I found myself in front of a salad bar, feeling slightly virtuous. But that didn’t last long…
There’s also a coffee shop that was a lifesaver in the afternoons, and a poolside bar where you can get a drink while you're at the pool with a view. I mean, pool with view? Pure indulgence! They also had Happy hour, which, of course, I abused.
There's the room service [24-hour], and you can also order bottle of water with your meals.
A warning There are no Alternative meal arrangement.
Things To Do, Places to Relax (And How to Survive the Heat)
Okay, the swimming pool [outdoor], swimming pool is calling your name. The sun is going to be hot. You'll want to cool off in the pool. I loved it and spent hours in it, and then out in the sun.
Spa/Sauna, Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Spa, Steamroom are all at your disposal if you're looking for relaxation. I admit it. I did the Body scrub and it was AMAZING. The Body wrap and Foot bath was ok.
Cleanliness and Safety: A Very Important Point
In terms of peace of mind, Cleanliness and safety looked top-notch! They have Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, and Staff trained in safety protocol. I really liked!
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
There's a concierge on the ball, a convenience store stocked with everything you forgot, and currency exchange (vital!). Dry cleaning, Ironing service, Laundry service are a godsend. Facilities for disabled guests, Luggage storage, and Safety deposit boxes are also available.
For the Kids: Family Fun?
This place is definitely Family/child friendly. They have Babysitting service, Kids facilities, Kids meal if you need them. I didn't go for it but you can see some families there!
Internet and Convenience
Internet, Internet [LAN], Internet services, Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!, Wi-Fi in public areas looked to be available.
The Emotional Verdict: Would I Go Back?
Look, Amwaj Oyoun isn't perfect. But the positives far outweigh the negatives. The food is solid, the rooms are comfortable, the staff is lovely, and the overall vibe is pure relaxation. Plus, that pool with a view? Chef's kiss.
The Quirky Takeaway:
I'd go back in a heartbeat. Just maybe bring my own slightly brighter mirror. And definitely, definitely bring more sunscreen.

Escape to Paradise: Agriturismo Ruralia, Tropea's Hidden Gem
Alright, buckle up buttercups! This ain't your polished travel brochure, this is me in Sharm El Sheikh, Amwaj Oyoun Resort & Casino. And honestly? It's a rollercoaster. Let’s see what a train wreck it can be:
Day 1: Arrival & Shell Shock
10:00 AM - Cairo Airport: Chaos Reigns Supreme. OMG, the Cairo airport. Forget those sleek, modern airports you see on Instagram. This is a sweaty, bustling, wonderfully chaotic free-for-all. Took me a full hour to navigate customs, which felt like a psychological test of patience. My luggage looked like it had been through a washing machine set to "aggressive." Found my transfer, a rusty minivan held together by sheer willpower and duct tape, and prayed to the travel gods we’d make it.
3:00 PM - Amwaj Oyoun Resort: Instant Regret? We arrived. The resort is… well, it’s big is the first thing I thought. Really big. Check-in took forever, lots of forms, and I'm pretty sure the reception staff were also dealing with their own family dramas. Finally, I got my room. And… Okay, it’s not the Four Seasons. It’s… adequate. The balcony faces the sea though, and I can see the sun. That’s something, right?
4:00 PM - First Swim & Snorkel: A Salty Mess
- I raced to the beach. The Red Sea! I've dreamed of this. Heart swells with hope and it was… well, the water was amazing, crystal clear and full of life. I grabbed some snorkel gear, which, let's face it, probably hasn't been cleaned since the pyramids were built. I got myself a snorkel. I fell in. (literally, there was a small wave, and I panicked and lost my footing.) And it was a disaster. Water in the mask, water up my nose, I was swallowing half the sea. I look around, I think I'm the only one struggling. The fish, however, were spectacular. Vivid, almost cartoonish in their colours. I nearly choked trying to get a clearer vision of it, but it was magical.
- Anecdote: I think I took a wrong turn heading back and saw a guy in a speedo. Shudders. I quickly turned.
7:00 PM - Dinner at the Main Buffet: Carb City!
- Oh lord, the buffet. It's a buffet. It has everything and nothing. Mountains of carbs, questionable-looking meats, and oddly, a whole section dedicated to pickled vegetables. I piled my plate high with the aforementioned carbs and a generous helping of hummus (which, thankfully, was excellent). The ambiance? Lively. In a 'hundred people all talking at once' kind of way. It’s a little overwhelming.
- Quirky Observation: I swear, I saw a seagull sneak in and grab a roll off someone's plate. Total pro.
- Emotional Reaction: I'm exhausted. After all the travel and my clumsy snorkelling adventure, I am absolutely starving.
Day 2: Desert Dreams & Diving Disasters (Sort Of)
9:00 AM - Breakfast - Reluctant Return to the Buffet
- I was still full from yesterday. I was hoping for something a little different, but it's another buffet. But hey, the hummus is the same as yesterday! So it's not so bad.
- Minor Category: The bread wasn't as stale today, so that's progress.
10:00 AM - Quad Biking & Bedouin Experience: Sand, Sun, & Selfies
- The quad biking tour! I'll be honest, I was a bit nervous about this. I'm not exactly known for my coordination. The desert spread before me, a vast expanse of sun-drenched nothingness.
- Anecdote: I nearly crashed into a camel. Yes, a camel. He was just standing there, looking judgey. Luckily, I swerved, just in time.
- Emotional Reaction: The silence of the desert was both terrifying and awe-inspiring. The sunset was beyond gorgeous, painting the sand in hues of pink and orange. It was one of those moments where you feel genuinely small (in a good way).
- Follow-up: The Bedouin dinner afterwards was…meh. A lot of grilled meats, some not-quite-cooked vegetables, and a belly dancing show that felt slightly awkward.
Afternoon - Diving Lesson: The Deep Blue and My Ego
- I’ve always wanted to dive. Today, I decided to take the plunge (pun intended). The introductory lesson. My instructor, a patient guy with a serious tan, explained the basics.
- Anecdote: Getting into the wetsuit was a struggle. It made me feel like a sausage casing. Then, the descent. I panicked. The water pressure, the restricted breathing. I was a mess. My ears hurt, and I felt utterly disoriented.
- Emotional Reaction: Pure panic at first. I was struggling to breathe, and the thought of being trapped underwater was terrifying. I felt like a total idiot. I felt a mix of fear and shame. But then, I took a breath, tried to slow down, and trust my instructor. And… I started to relax. Truly, I could see the corals. There are so many fish. I almost laughed.
- Doubling down:* Then I started to enjoy it! The sensation of floating, the colours, it's amazing. I even managed to clear my ears and at the end, for a little while, I was actually diving. It was the most breathtaking thing I've ever done. I swear I could hear the whale music to me, even when I have my ears plugged. Even though I did not manage to get a full dive, I think I'm going to get one more experience soon.
7:00 PM - Dinner - Resort Restaurant - More carbs!!
- I thought the experience would be a little different. No luck - I got more carbs.
- Opinionated Language: I'm getting sick of carbs.
Day 3: Sunburn, Souks & Saying Sayonara?!
9:00 AM - Poolside Chill: Sunburn Season Begins.
- Today, I'm just chilling by the pool. I'm not sure I want the sun. I got slightly burned yesterday. So now I should be very careful.
- Minor Category: The pool water is that perfect, refreshing temperature. The waiters are attentive. There is a loud family splashing next to me.
11:00 - Souk Adventure - Bartering Madness
- The market! I really wanted a souvenir. I decided to try it on. The vendors are… intense. They swarm you. I swear, a monkey probably does the same thing.
- Anecdote: I walked away. I got a scarf. They would not give me free stuff.
- Emotional Reaction: I was glad to go back to the resort.
- Rambles: I’m starting to get a bit homesick. Should I stay longer?
Afternoon - Last swim and Snorkel:
- I managed to go back to the sea. I still don't know what is in the deep, but I found it relaxing.
7:00 PM - Dinner - Resort Restaurant - The Final Carb Apocalypse.
- Well, it's buffet again. What can you do?
- Emotion:
- I think I will be glad to finish and leave the resort.
- I've had a good experience, but I'm exhausted.
- Emotion:
- Well, it's buffet again. What can you do?
9:00 PM - Packing: Goodbye, Sharm El Sheikh!
- Time to go now. I want to go. My plane is tomorrow. Time to go back home.
Final Thoughts:
Well, that was a week. Egypt… she’s complicated. Beautiful, chaotic, and completely unforgettable. Will I be back? Maybe. After I've recovered from the carb overload, the near-death experiences in the sea, and the general sensory overload. Would I recommend Amwaj Oyoun? It depends what you're looking for. Budget-friendly, yes. Luxurious? Not really. But hey, it’s a story. And trust me, I've got plenty of stories to tell. Now, where's that hummus?

Escape to Paradise: Amwaj Oyoun Resort & Casino - The Unfiltered Truth (FAQ-ish Edition!)
Alright, so, Amwaj Oyoun. Is it *actually* paradise, or just… pretty good? (Be honest!)
Okay, deep breath. "Paradise" is a loaded word, yeah? Like, are we talking pearly gates and harps? Nah. But Amwaj Oyoun? It’s... good. Really good, even. Think turquoise water so clear you can practically see your toes arguing with the sand, and the kind of sun that makes you feel gloriously useless on a sunbed. BUT. Let's not forget the reality of travel. There are moments–like when the air conditioning decides to take a nap at 3 am–where you might question the whole “paradise” thing. Then you'd be reminded about the view from your balcony, and everything seems fine.
What's the vibe? Is it party central, peaceful chill-out, or a bit of both?
This, my friends, is where it gets interesting. Amwaj Oyoun has a split personality, like Jekyll and Hyde, but with more cocktails. Some areas? Totally zen. Think quiet beaches, gentle lapping waves, and the only noise is the rhythmic clinking of ice in your drink. Bliss. Other areas? Pure chaos. The main pool can be a swirling vortex of inflatable flamingos, screaming kids, and questionable karaoke. Choose your adventure, people! Or, like me, embrace the chaos and end up befriending a family of six from Manchester.
The rooms... are they worth it? I'm a sucker for a nice bed.
Okay, let's talk beds. My experience started with a bit of a shaky start. The first room? Not quite what I expected. Smelled a little musty, like your grandma's attic but with more chlorine. I immediately had a mini-meltdown. Remember, this is *my* paradise and I'm willing to fight for it. HOWEVER, I complained. And guess what? They were super helpful! Got a different a room, and it was divine. Seriously, the bed? Cloud-like. And the balcony? The view made every single tiny imperfection just fade away.
What about the different room types? Are the "sea view" rooms *really* worth the extra cash?
Okay, here's my two cents on the sea view. Yes. A thousand times YES. Look, I love a good garden view as much as the next person, but the sea view at Amwaj Oyoun is something special. Waking up to that shimmering turquoise, that dazzling sky, it's just… magical. You may even find yourself being a poet! I'd spend the extra money. If your budget is tight, maybe cut back on those extra cocktails. Trust me, the sunrise over the Red Sea is worth more than any mojito. Almost.
The food situation... tell me *everything*! Is it all-inclusive buffet hell, or are there some gems to be found?
Right. Food. The all-inclusive buffet is a classic, isn't it? And, let's be real, sometimes it *is* a bit of a free-for-all. But Amwaj Oyoun actually does a decent job. Lots of variety, and they have themed nights which helped break the monotony of the food. There are also a la carte restaurants that you *need* to try – the Italian one was a highlight, and the staff were incredibly friendly. On the slight negative side: I had one questionable meal experience when I tried picking up a sandwich to go. Let's just say, my stomach wasn't entirely thrilled. But overall? The food is good. Very good, especially for the price.
What about the drinks? Are the cocktails any good, or just watered-down sadness?
Ah, the *real* question. Honestly? It depends on your expectations. The basic cocktails? Fine. Drinkable. Will get the job done. The staff are happy to experiment with different drinks. I had to insist on my own concoction and they willingly made it a reality. You could get something truly special. Also, tip generously, and you'll get even better service (and stronger drinks!).
How are the pools and beaches? I'm a serious sun worshipper!
The pools? Big, clean, and plentiful. Plenty of sunbeds to go around, and the pool bar is your best friend. Can get pretty busy, but that's part of the fun, I think. The beach? STUNNING. That crystal-clear water I already mentioned. Seriously, the snorkeling is incredible. You can see fish that look like they belong in a Disney movie. The sand is a bit… gritty, and can get hot in the middle of the day, but you can't *really* complain with such stunning scenery.
Is there good snorkeling or diving from the resort?
Oh. My. God. The snorkeling and diving are *amazing*. Seriously. Pack your mask and snorkel, or rent some gear, and prepare to be blown away. The coral reefs are vibrant, and the marine life is just incredible. I saw a turtle, a whole school of parrotfish, and felt like I had stepped into the most beautiful aquarium in the world. One word of warning: be careful of the currents. They can get a bit strong, so don't be overconfident, especially if you're a beginner.
I heard there's a casino? Is it any good?
Yes, there’s a casino. Disclaimer: I am *not* a gambler. But I did go in there, purely for research purposes (cough). It's small, but lively. Slots, table games, the whole shebang. The atmosphere is fun, and people seemed to be enjoying themselves. I lost five dollars, which, let's be honest, is a bargain for the entertainment value I got from watching a man in a Hawaiian shirt celebrate a small win as if he'd just won the lottery. Go, have fun, maybe win a few bucks (but don't blame me if you lose!).
