When and where can you get alcohol at a Sharm el-Sheikh resort hotel?

In an October 2 report, a guest mentions that the hotel serves rosé wine and describes its quality positively.

A guest reports that champagne is served on the hotel beach.

Canned beer was available on the beach; when it ran out, guests were directed to the food court area to get it.

A recent report says the included alcohol at this hotel is entirely Egyptian-made, while a separate paid bar is also available. Red and white wine, beer, whisky and cocktails are offered. The wine is poured from cartons and was described as mediocre and rather acidic.

Alcohol is served not only in the lobby, by the pool and on the beach, but also on the terrace and pier. You can order a cocktail or a straight pour of spirits such as rum or gin.

Locally produced spirits are available at the bars and included, while imported alcohol costs extra. Beer is supplied in cans in the minibar, on draft at the main bars, and in bottles at the beach bar by the diving club. Heineken and Stella are mentioned.

In most hotels, alcohol in the restaurant is served by waiters walking around, which is slow. At Grand Oasis hotel there's a bar counter right in the restaurant, which is much more convenient — likely an exception rather than the rule.

Guests report you can take drinks (e.g. whisky or cognac) from the bar back to your room and enjoy them on the balcony with a sea view instead of staying at the bar.

Guests report free alcohol is usually poured from 10am to midnight, often only at one designated bar (e.g. the lobby bar), with pool and beach bars also serving during the day.

A recent report says alcohol is served 24/7 at this hotel, not only from the morning onward. Guests also say you can ask for larger pours, such as a full glass of whisky.

Alcohol service at the hotel starts at 10am and is available at the lobby bar and the pool or beach bars. In the restaurant, alcohol is only served from lunchtime onwards.

For well-made cocktails, ask hotel staff which bar is best — in some resorts it's the lobby bar, in others the pool bar tends to have better bartenders.

To buy alcohol independently, check if there's a liquor store near your hotel — in Sharm el-Sheikh alcohol is sold only in licensed shops, not in regular supermarkets.
