Escape to Paradise: Stunning Pool View 1-Bedroom in Sharm El Sheikh!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into a review of "Escape to Paradise: Stunning Pool View 1-Bedroom in Sharm El Sheikh!" – and honey, I've got opinions. Forget those bland, corporate travel brochures; this is the real deal, the good, the bad, and the slightly sunburned.
First Impressions (and a Little Panic)
Pulling up, the exterior – eh, it's a hotel. Looks like a hotel, you know? Standard. Finding the entrance wasn't a total disaster, which is a win for me, because I have a pathological fear of getting lost in the lobby. Security seemed decent, though. Now, inside… that's where it gets interesting. The lobby, with its elevator – thank goodness – was clean, and the staff were friendly, even at 3 AM when my internal clock was screaming about jet lag. Check-in was a breeze, thanks to the Contactless check-in/out. They gave me the keys and some sort of welcome drink. Sweet.
The Room – My Tiny Oasis, Minus the Sand
Okay, let's talk the room. The "stunning pool view" part? Spot on. Waking up to that turquoise water? Absolutely blissful. My room, a 1-bedroom setup, was surprisingly spacious. The Air conditioning was a GODSEND because it's hotter than the devil's oven over there. The bed was comfy, though slightly too extra long bed. Linens were clean, thankfully. The bathroom was clean, even if the toiletries weren’t exactly luxury boujee, but that's fine. The mirror could have been clearer, but I'm not going to complain. The Coffee/tea maker was there, which is crucial, because I’m a human coffee pot, you know? Bonus points for the blackout curtains. Pure, blissful sleep.
But there was the internet access – wireless and Internet access – LAN. Now here's where things went wrong. The Wi-Fi was… spotty, at best. My laptop was giving me stink eye and the Internet access – LAN was useless. Sigh. I was really hoping to get some writing done. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise? More time to relax? I don't know. My brain works better in the evening. Slightly more negative emotion
Cleanliness & Safety – A Sanitized Sanctuary (Mostly)
I'm a bit of a germaphobe, so I did my due diligence. The Anti-viral cleaning was evident. It felt safe and clean. They had Daily disinfection in common areas and Rooms sanitized between stays. They gave me hand sanitizer. They really tried, you know? I appreciated the Staff trained in safety protocol because the COVID stuff is still kinda out there.
Dining, Drinking & Snacking – A Culinary Adventure (with Some Hiccups)
Okay, food. Restaurants available. I had Breakfast [buffet] once. The Asian breakfast option was interesting but I really wasn't in the mood for it. I'm more a Western breakfast kind of woman. So there was my breakfast service. The juice was meh. But, I did have a coffee/tea in restaurant. The poolside bar was clutch for that happy hour, though. Snack bar was convenient. I did enjoy the desserts in restaurant, they did a decent job. I didn't get to experience the A la carte in restaurant or the Vegetarian restaurant during my stay.
Rambling a little
Okay, room service [24-hour]. You can never underestimate a 24-hour service! It was a lifesaver at 2 AM when I realized I didn't eat dinner. It felt so fancy, what can I say. The bottle of water they gave me… I really needed it! It was an actual relief to drink that water.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax – Let's Go Get Massaged!
The swimming pool [outdoor] was the star of the show – the view was just breathtaking. The Pool with view felt really fancy! They’ve got a Fitness center, a Gym/fitness – I swear I intended to use it once, but… yeah, I didn't. There's a Spa and Spa/sauna. The massage was incredible! I’d recommend that massage to anyone who wants to forget the world for an hour. I think I might have fallen asleep.
Accessibility – (Not My Area of Expertise)
I cannot comment directly on this area. They do state Facilities for disabled guests.
Services & Conveniences – Bits and Bobs
The concierge was helpful with booking things, even with my terrible requests. Cash withdrawal, currency exchange… the usual hotel stuff. The Daily housekeeping was great; it kept my mess under control. The luggage storage was also fantastic.
For the Kids – (I'm Child-Free, but…)
They had Family/child friendly options, with babysitting service.
Getting Around – (I Was Lazy)
I just used the taxi service. SideNote
Quirks and Imperfections:
- The Wi-Fi, again. Seriously, it was a frustrating.
- The coffee shop had a good vibe, but the lattes were meh.
- The music by the pool was a bit repetitive.
- There were no complimentary tea, weird, but it wasn’t a deal breaker.
The Verdict – Should You Escape to Paradise?
Absolutely, with some caveats!
PROS:
- Stunning Pool View!! (Seriously, it's worth it)
- Clean, modern rooms.
- Friendly, helpful staff.
- Amazing massage.
- Good location.
CONS:
- Unreliable Wi-Fi.
- Some minor food inconsistencies.
- The sound proofing of the soundproof rooms probably could have been better.
It’s a solid place to stay, especially if you're looking for a relaxing pool-side vacation. Just pack a good book (or download a bunch of movies).

111 Mansion: Thailand's Most Luxurious Secret Revealed!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into a Sharm El Sheikh adventure. Forget the pre-packaged itineraries with pristine bullet points. This? This is real life travel planning, complete with the messy bits, the unexpected joys, and the existential dread of accidentally eating something that might try to eat you back. Let's get it:
The Plan (Maybe?) – Sharm El Sheikh, One-Bedroom Apartment with Pool View (Wi-Fi: Pray for it)
Day 1: Arrival & Altitude Adjustment (and Panic)
- Morning: Touchdown at Sharm El Sheikh airport. First impression? Hot. Like, REALLY hot. The airport itself felt… well, let’s just say it had character. Think slightly outdated, a bit chaotic, and the epitome of "rustic charm." Finding the taxi? A battle of wits and hand gestures. Negotiating the price? A blood sport. Wound up paying WAY too much. Classic.
- Afternoon: Arrive at the apartment. Pool view? Check! Wi-Fi promised? Fingers crossed! The apartment itself was… adequate. Spacious enough, clean-ish, but definitely had that "lived-in by someone who definitely hasn't cleaned recently" vibe. The air conditioning, thank the gods, was working.
- Late Afternoon/Evening: The Wi-Fi, naturally, was a fickle beast. Spent a good hour wrestling with the router before giving up and wandering out to the balcony. Took in the pool view, which was, admittedly, spectacular. The sun setting over the desert… breathtaking. Tried a local beer while listening to the distant call to prayer. Felt a wave of both serenity and abject terror. This is it. I'm here. Now what?
- Dinner: Found a local restaurant. Ordered something. The waiter didn't speak much English, and my Arabic is… nonexistent. Pointed at a plate of what looked delicious. Turns out, it was delicious. Maybe some sort of lamb tagine? The flavors exploded in my mouth. Ate too much. Felt slightly sick. Welcome to Egypt, stomach.
Day 2: Snorkeling & Seafood Regret (and Existential Crisis)
- Morning: Paid the price for all that delicious lamb. Stomach was NOT my friend. Spent some quality time in the bathroom. Finally, a vague sense of normalcy returned. Decided to push on and hit the water.
- Afternoon: Snorkeling trip to Ras Mohammed National Park. The water? CRYSTAL clear. The coral? Out of this world. The fish? Dazzling. Saw a clownfish (Nemo! My heart almost burst!), a sea turtle (graceful as hell), and a giant grouper that stared me down with what I swear was judgment. Utterly, completely, and undeniably amazing.
- Late Afternoon: Seafood dinner on the beach. Freshly caught, grilled to perfection. Ate more than I should have, yet again. This time, the consequence was a different kind – and a sudden moment of clarity. Here I was. Alive. Surrounded by beauty. Yet, a small voice inside me was asking…“What am I doing with my life? Should I be writing a novel? Is it too late to learn the ukulele? Is this fish… trying to tell me something?”
- Evening: Walked in the moonlight along the beach. The waves whispered secrets. The stars twinkled down on me. Contemplated the vastness of the universe and the insignificance of my earthly worries. Then, remembered I forgot to put sunscreen on my back, and that thought, much like my sunburn, didn't go well.
Day 3: Desert Dreams & Bedouin Blues (and the World's Worst Camel Ride)
- Morning: Woke up with a sunburn. The Wi-Fi, still unreliable. Decided to face the world.
- Afternoon: Jeep safari into the desert! The ride itself was a blast – bouncing over dunes, feeling the wind in my hair, and screaming (with joy, mainly). Watched the sun set over the vast, undulating sands. It was genuinely magical.
- Late Afternoon: Visited a Bedouin camp. Drank sweet, milky tea, ate flatbread, and listened to traditional music. The Bedouins were incredibly welcoming and generous. Felt a real connection to the culture; a true appreciation for the simple way of life.
- Evening: The camel ride, though… oh, the camel ride. Let's be honest, it was an absolute disaster. My camel was grumpy. The saddle was uncomfortable. I spent most of the ride clinging on for dear life, convinced I was going to topple off and be swallowed by the desert sand. Got back to the Jeep exhausted, but in one piece and laughing hysterically about the whole bizarre experience.
- Night: Back in the apartment. The Wi-Fi was momentarily working. Binged on trashy reality TV. The absurdity of it all. Perfect.
Day 4: Diving Despair (or Divine?) & Dessert Delights
- Morning: Decided to try diving. (I can hear the "are you crazy?!" now. Maybe.) I’d always wanted to, but was also always scared. Today, I did a Discover Scuba program, with a patient, reassuring instructor.
- Afternoon: It was… intense. The feeling of breathing underwater, the silence, the weightlessness… incredible. The reef was vibrant, the fish curious. I panicked a couple of times, and almost drowned. At one point, I felt like I was going to straight pass out. But I did it. I dove. It was humbling, exhilarating, and a whole lot of effort.
- Late Afternoon: Rewarded myself for not dying by seeking sweet relief, and headed to a pastry shop and bought way too much assorted baklava. Every bite an explosion of flavor and sugary bliss.
- Evening: Went on a sunset stroll down the beach that I had done a few times. Soaked in the moment one last time. Had a final, reflective cup of tea, and got myself ready for departure.
Day 5: Departure – And the Hope of a Nap (and Maybe a Therapy Session)
- Morning: Last breakfast on the balcony, staring at the pool and the gorgeous view, while dreading the ride to the airport. Packed. Checked out. Said goodbye to the apartment, to the Wi-Fi that teased me with its fleeting existence, and to the lingering scent of… something.
- Afternoon: Airport. More chaos. More negotiations (that went slightly better this time!). And, finally, the plane.
- Evening: Home. Exhausted, slightly sunburnt, and with a newfound appreciation for the simple pleasures of indoor plumbing and a reliable internet connection. I had my adventures alright. Lived to tell the tale. Now, all that's left is a long nap and a session with a therapist to process all the emotions.
Final Thoughts:
Sharm El Sheikh? It's a rollercoaster. It's chaotic. It's beautiful. It's frustrating. It's unforgettable. And, as the locals say "Ma’alesh" – it's all good. Now, I'm off to plan my next escape! (And maybe invest in a better Wi-Fi router.)

Escape to Paradise: Stunning Pool View 1-Bedroom in Sharm El Sheikh - You GOT Questions? I Got Answers (Maybe!)
Okay, so like, is this place ACTUALLY paradise? Or is it just another Instagram lie?
Alright, let's cut the crap. "Paradise" is a bit much, yeah? Unless your idea of paradise is slightly sunburned shoulders, the persistent scent of chlorine, and the distant, rhythmic thrum of Arabic pop music. But listen, it's pretty darn close. The pool view *is* stunning. Seriously, the pictures don't lie. You wake up, draw back the curtains, and BAM! That turquoise water just hits you. *That* part? Paradise-adjacent.
I remember the first morning, bleary-eyed, fumbling for the coffee pot (instant, naturally – don't expect artisanal anything in Egypt). I walked out onto the balcony, and I just… stopped. My jaw legitimately *dropped*. For a solid minute, I stared. It was better than I’d dreamed. And then the mosquitos found me. So, yeah, paradise with a side of itchy bites. Balance, you know?
What's the deal with the 1-bedroom? Is it roomy? Cozy? Feels like a shoebox?
Okay, so the size. Let's be realistic. It's not a sprawling villa. Think… comfortable apartment-sized. Not ridiculously cramped. You'll have space to spread out, but you're not gonna be doing laps.
I stayed there with my partner, and we survived. Granted, we did have a minor argument about the optimal temperature for the air conditioning (he likes it arctic; I prefer slightly less hypothermic). The bedroom was decent-sized – enough room to do that awkward suitcase dance you do when unpacking and repacking. Plus, the bed was actually comfy, which is a *huge* win. I hate a rock-hard hotel bed. It’s a dealbreaker.
How's the pool *actually*? Do they have those fancy poolside umbrellas and waitstaff?
The pool? Gorgeous. Seriously. The water is clean. The sun is... well, the sun is everywhere! And the view? The view is the *thing*.
Fancy umbrellas? Yes. Waitstaff? Err, maybe "waitperson." There are people who bring drinks, but don't expect white-glove service. Just… be patient. "Hakuna Matata" is a good motto here. Embrace the relaxed pace. I ordered a cocktail one day, and it took approximately the time it took to build the pyramids. But when it arrived? PERFECT. Worth the wait.
Is it noisy? I'm a light sleeper. Will the party animals keep me awake?
Noise? Okay, full disclosure. Sharm El Sheikh isn't exactly known for its silence. And the complex has a pulse. It's not a library. You will hear some noise. Especially at night.
It's more a gentle hum of activity, a low bassline of conversations and music. I'm a pretty sensitive sleeper too, but let me tell you, the absolute white noise of the AC, and the sheer bliss of the bed, I slept like a baby. A well-rested, slightly tanned baby. Bring earplugs just in case. Better safe than sleepless!
Food! What's the food situation like? Are there restaurants nearby? Do I need to pack snacks (please say yes)?
Food is... interesting. There's a restaurant on site, and there are definitely other options nearby. But do your research. I'm not gonna lie, one restaurant, with a fancy name and a supposed reputation for “fresh seafood” *completely* let me down. Ordered the grilled fish... it looked more like it had been microwaved in a plastic bag.
PACK SNACKS. Always. A girl needs chocolate, okay?! And salty crisps. And maybe some emergency gummy bears. You'll thank me later. Trust me. Also, explore. There are some absolute gems outside the main tourist drag.
How easy is it to get around? Taxis? Uber? Camels?
Getting around is doable, but… it's Egypt. Embrace the chaos. Taxis are your best bet, but bargain. Bargain HARD. The first price they give you is always a lie. Always.
Uber exists, thankfully! Thank heavens for technology. And the camel situation? Leave the camels for the desert trips, ok? Unless you have a serious affinity for swaying on a grumpy hoofed creature. Just make sure you ask the driver how much the ride will cost *before* you get in. I learned that one the hard way.
Safety? Is it safe for a solo traveler, or a couple?
Sharm El Sheikh is generally considered safe for tourists. I'm a solo traveler, and I felt relatively safe. Of course, use common sense! Be aware of your surroundings. Don't flash expensive jewelry, and be mindful of where you're going at night.
And if you're a woman, ignore the catcalls. They're a part of the culture, unfortunately. Don't engage. Just keep walking. For couples, it's lovely. Romantic evenings, the pool view, it sets the mood. Just be aware of your belongings.
Would you go back? Honestly.
Honestly? Yeah, I would. Despite the imperfections. Despite the heat. Despite my near-disaster with the "fresh seafood." That pool view? The sunsets? They're worth it. *Absolutely* worth it.
It's not perfect. Nothing is. But it's a good place to unwind, to recharge, and to maybe, just maybe, forget about your life for a little while. And sometimes, that's exactly what you need. Just pack the snacks! And don't forget the sunscreen! And maybe a strong cocktail...
Are there any hidden costs? Like, REALLY hidden?
Oh, you’re asking the important questions now, aren’t you? Hidden costs. Yep. There are always hidden costs. Expect extra charges for stuff you might not think about.
