I have been there for a long time - in 2007 and 2010. the reef was beautiful in 2007, but in 2010 the reef turned gray... the food was excellent - italian menu. The animation is also in Italian, I don't know now.
look at other hotels in Ras Um Sid, they say that the reef is still good there. Reef Oasis Beach5*/Senses, Jaz Fanara 4*.

I heard that Faraana has become just a terrible garbage dump, rented out half of its beach, garbage and desolation on the territory. There is no need to talk about food either. The Italians are no longer related to the hotel, the entire management is Egyptian.

We were in 2012 at Jaz Fanara 4*, and in 2015 at Club El Faraana Reef Resort 4*. We liked Jaz Fanara much more (the food is at a height, the presence of a dive club where you can borrow equipment on bail, an instructor with daily swims), but since that time a lot of water has flowed under the bridge, especially since Jaz Fanara was closed for some time. After opening, I don't know. But Faraana also has its own charm: the style of the hotel is more oriental, the presence of a pontoon (although you need to go through a small stretch of the beach where the locals hang out), a larger beach compared to Fanara, in my opinion a better location (closer to old town complex 1000 and 1 night). Read my reviews, I tried to write everything in detail.

I was at the hotel from 20.01 to 27.01 of this year. I started to write a report about this hotel, but it is moving slowly, other things are getting in the way. I hope to finish him soon. Until the end of March, he will definitely be here on TURPRAVDA.
Club El Faraana Reef Resort 4 *, located in the bay of Ras um Sid, Hadaba district, one of the calmest bays in Sharm. A very good coral reef. The coast is steep and therefore the beach is windless, sandy, the entry into the sea is sand, a coral reef begins somewhere waist-deep, the first strip is almost dead coral, but there is fish, then the sandy bottom and the main coral behind it. to. in Faraan there is no pontoon of its own, or to the right - a walkway from the public beach or to the left - the pontoon of the Reef Oasis Vich 5 * hotel. You can also over the reef, but you can catch on to the reef. There is a dive club both on the beach and upstairs in the hotel. Accommodation is in 2-storey bungalows, it seems to me that it is better to take the second floor. On the first floor, there is direct access to the street, there is not even a veranda. I can say even above average, we ate at the Grill Restaurant

They cook food on the coals and view the sea (record at dinner and there are only lunches). In the bars, Egyptian-made alcohol, beer, drinks. Because alcohol from Egypt is our "shmurdyak", I would recommend grabbing a couple of bottles from home or taking it in Duty. Service has become worse, because. They give less bucks, there are no Russians. The hotel for 1500 beds, there were about 300, mostly Ukrainians, there were almost no Arabs. This is short, there will be questions in the account, I will answer. This is a photo of the hotel

Are they already allowed on the pontoon of the Reef Oasis Witch 5 hotel? Previously, the guard did not let through.

Now this is the worst hotel in Faraan Bay: shabby rooms, evil management, food at the level of the cheapest products.
I advise you to pay attention to the neighboring Reef Oasis Beach or Jaz Fanara.

I'm going to Egypt for the 12th time. I've seen a lot. I love the sea. I'm interested in the hotel, from which operator can I fly out?, a bar on the beach at the top or right on the beach? bar on the beach in the all system? what kind of food? is the restaurant far from the beach? are there snacks at the bars, which rooms are better to ask for? In 2015 I swam on a wild beach, which is on the right, then I was at the Xeriens Parkland hotel, its beach in the creek, who was there, understands what I mean ... The hotel is interesting in terms of budget and location, answer, I will be glad.

So, I understand that you, borabora, are proving the unprovable.
I just got back from there!
I already wrote that not all fours in terms of nutrition have such an assortment, at least I haven’t seen marinated and stuffed and baked sheep in fours. that give little food.
By numbers, they are different in Faraan, at first they wanted to put me in a dead room. I had to talk and got a normal room, and did not pay any extra. Yes, the hotel is old and does not work halfway, the crisis and the money is not enough, only 300 places are filled out of 1500. There is no additional money from the Ukrainians, the so-called. "vandollar", respectively, and their attitude. I did not see anger from the servants towards me, requests were fulfilled with a smile. Therefore, I think that you are wrong, to put it mildly! In general, as you are to the servants, so she is to you! applies! Alas.

tosik! Short answer to your questions! I didn’t have much choice, my passport was expiring and I had to fly out before 20.01, for this period there was only a package from TPG from Krivoy Rog by Bravo airline. I’m from Zaporozhye, but the transfer was free. , Sprite, mineral water, tea, coffee. That's all. There are two bars for all (by the pool, upstairs, a disco bar after 17-00), shmurdyak is terrible (local drinks, I suspect that they are also bred by bartenders), so I recommend grabbing from home or from Duty). I wrote about food, there will be no foie gras and lobsters, you can always find tasty and edible food. Yes. no pork for sure. It is written about the Grill restaurant, it is above the beach, but only dinners by appointment, the main restaurant is at the reception.
There are no snacks in bars, rooms are better starting at 2,3,4 and I liked the 2nd floor more. I will write more thoroughly in a report with a photo.

yes, the grill restaurant in Faraan has always been wonderful, but I remember that it was not possible to get there every day - there were a lot of people who wanted to. probably now, thanks to the crisis, everyone can enjoy it!

I already wrote here in my opinion. There are two reef ridges, the first one starts somewhere waist-deep. It is practically dead (as you write - gray), there are some living corals on it and fish swim. Then a strip of sandy bottom with inclusions of small coral formations such as underwater rocks, and then the main reef is alive with fish, corals are alive, various. That's something like that. Above the photo. There you can see boats and a schooner in the sea. Excursions from other parts of Hurghada come here to dive on the reef.

The reef is not at all the same as it was a year or two ago :( it surrenders very quickly. A cold breeze blows from the sea all day today. You freeze in the shade, it is very hot in the sun.

We rested in August-September 2016. A large area, littered, unkempt, with scattered beams, garbage, metal rods (elements of a neglected repair). The rooms are so beat up that everything crumbles in your hands, from curtains to bed linen. All appliances barely work. Air conditioner and fridge stink. Regularly for 3-4 hours there is no light and water (this is terrible, since there is no drinking water, only in the cooler in the restaurant during meals). There are several pools, but they are dirty. The sea wave in the large pool was never seen. Restaurants are dirty, dishes are broken, glasses are mostly plastic. The food is presented in an assortment) That is, it seems to be there, and at the same time it seems to be not. Vegetable side dishes, sour fruits. Chicken or meat floats in an inedible sour liquid with seasonings. The fish is smelly. Rotten bananas, grapes in a sweet solution, poor quality dates.

The meat is served in portions. The waiter hit me on the arm with the device when I tried to take a piece of meat without gravy from the pan. The grill restaurant on the beach is covered in crow feces. Crows walk on tables and benches, peck at leftover food and crap. There are a lot of Egyptians, the hotel is just full. Children are left to themselves, the behavior is terrible.

The descent to the beach is destroyed and traumatic. The second descent is along a very high stone staircase. The beach is looked after by an old janitor. There is a bar, but poor. There is no toilet and shower on the beach, somewhere along the way. The sun loungers are old, the mattresses too, the towels are dilapidated, they are simply dried (not washed)

To the pontoon, go through a couple of abandoned beaches of cheap hotels. Descent from the pontoon is dangerous. There is never an attendant. From morning until evening, the entire horizon on the beach is closed by excursion boats. Every day, 8-10 large boats with diving and swimming tourists stay for several hours right in the water area of the hotel at a close distance from the beach. Oil and debris are floating, it is impossible to swim, there were even feces. Boats never stop in front of the beaches of neighboring Reef Oasis and Iberotel Faraana.

Settling is difficult and nerve-wracking. The staff is tense and not very friendly. When choosing a room, we reviewed 6 rooms, barely chose an acceptable one. We are unpretentious, but we expect cleanliness and serviceability of equipment. A janitor in worn clothes and exhausted cleans two or three houses with several rooms a day. What a cleaning! Liquid soap brought on request, paper is rarely available.

Here's what I don't understand. I was just here, Ilika, six months ago. But the hotel cannot change so much for better or for worse. I travel to Egypt quite often, I have the opportunity to compare hotels and there is no point in cheating.
Yes, there is rubbish at the construction site, and fittings, and even sculptures under ancient Egypt that were brought in and lie. Yes, but it's at a construction site! I don’t know that repairs or construction were without garbage. And the territory is clean, they constantly sweep and even water (although there is no water in the hotel - the pools are full, the territory is watered!)
Shower and toilet near the Grill bar, Ilika saw the toilet of crows, human - no. I did not understand which descent to the beach was destroyed and traumatic. There are actually three of them. You can remember what room number you had so that people know where not to settle.
I don’t want to talk about food. Apparently, I need to lay out a plate of food so as not to prove pointless.
On a pontoon. There is no pontoon in Faraan. Actually, this is a bridge on stilts, where, yes, you have to go through the ruined beaches of other people's hotels. This is a plate of sour food

Yes, there is a pontoon, but it is the Oasis Beach Reef hotel and for its own, for others to either bash or use chemicals to get through.
And when reading such a review, I understand that a person was either greatly offended in this hotel (they gave him a hand when he climbed into a tray) or a customized review.
So that there is no dispute, I will post a photo of the beach and the descent to it. This is documented, no retouching.
