What do travelers say about budget 5-star hotels in Sharm el Sheikh, like Grand Oasis and Gravity?

At one hotel, check-in was only at 11:00 AM with no luggage storage or changing rooms — had to change clothes in the airport bathroom with a suitcase. The room itself was good, but the food was disappointing compared to Grand Oasis, where the cuisine is noticeably better.

Another traveler noted Grand Oasis really only has two strong points — good food and a great location near the closed Ras Mohammed bay — everything else felt like a downside to them personally. The lack of changing rooms near reception is normal for almost all hotels, not a specific flaw. It's a budget beachfront 5-star with a small territory, so the price matches the quality.

One guest got an excellent room with a stunning sea view at no extra charge, and the in-room minibar was regularly refilled for free with Coke and Sprite — overall impressions of the hotel were very positive.

Comparing hotels, one traveler said a budget 5-star in Sharm, though pricier and nearly empty, turned out to be night-and-day better than Gravity hotel overall.
