Rested in Faraan from 7 to 17 August 2008.
I will try to write briefly and meaningfully.
The overall impression is a solid five. I must say right away that I am not a "custom" writer. Who cares - I can provide photos and copies of tickets and vouchers!
The travel agency offered 5 hotels for the trip. The choice fell on Club El Faraan for one reason - the reviews were much better than those other alternatives!
So, you enter the hotel. Pass through the archway. On the sides you can see tennis courts and other sports grounds. They look fresh, but they are still being worked on.
At the entrance to the hotel there is a fountain in which flamingos live!
Receptionist:
I am a multilingual person, so I didn’t have any difficulties in communication. I learned a few Arabic phrases in advance. As soon as you say them, you are immediately looked at with great respect!
When I checked in, I gave the manager a baksheesh! I advise you not to give it immediately. It's better to let you settle. And only then if you don’t like the number, then feel free to ask for a new one and then feed the manager.
We were given the number 350! Here no one could clearly explain why the 300th and 800th numbers are bad. I found it out on the spot. They are considered the oldest. Other rooms have already been updated.
I will say this about our number - later I saw many 300th numbers, and I think ours was the best of them. The interior is very simple and a little shocking at first sight. But the next day everything is fine and comfortable. And just do it, I only slept in the room at night and that's it!
Of the shortcomings of the number, I will note three:
1. Indeed, hot or warm water flows from a cold tap. I suspect that this is due to the fact that the water collection tanks are in the open air, which is why they heat up.
2. The most powerful air conditioner in the room blows directly on the bed, that is, leaving it on all night is fraught. In principle, we easily found a way out. The whole day turned on the air conditioner at full capacity. And turned off at night. The created climate was enough until the morning.
3. The hotel is located in close proximity to one of the mosques. The singing of the imujin certainly adds some flavor to your holiday, but then it starts to get a little annoying. Everything would be fine, but he starts the first song exactly at five in the morning!
Nutrition:
In a word - excellent! I won’t say that the variety is really amazing, but the menu includes lamb, beef, crabs, shrimp, squid, and much more. And you can lose your head from sweets for lunch and dinner!
Territory:
Very beautiful. There are three pools. I describe in order from the reception to the sea.
First: a kind of family pool - the largest in size, there are three fountains, and a third of the pool is reserved for artificial waves. In that part, the depth is up to 2 meters. For the rest of the pool area from 50 to 150 cm (approximately). There is a bar in the pool. Near the pool there is a kids club which also has a very shallow pool.
Second: the smallest and quietest pool. During the day, the least people rest in it.
Third: my favorite is the big one, the depth is from 1 to 3 meters. There is a diving tower. Separate area for children. There is a Jacuzzi in the middle. There is also direct access to the bar.
Beach:
You have to go down to the beach - that's a fact! For me personally, the descent / ascent was not something outrageous. On the contrary, with the all-inclusive system, at least some useful warm-up.
The beach is sandy, so you don’t need to buy special shoes, but look under your feet!
On the beach there are sun loungers and large umbrellas. There is a pier from which it is very cool to dive to observe the coral reef. He's really, really handsome here!
On the beach there is a small bar, water activities such as banana and parasailing, water equipment rental and underwater camera sales.
The hotel also has a diving center, a clothing store, an Internet cafe.
In general, briefly and quickly described everything like this! Rest satisfied by 100%! If offered again to the same hotel - I would go without hesitation!
For 11 days of rest, I NEVER felt infringement on myself due to the fact that I am not Italian. By the way, there are many Poles, Russians, French and Germans who have a rest. Poles, by the way, are more bullish than Russians. But we are still afraid. They helped me wherever needed.
For a late check-out from the hotel, the room was not extended to me, but they gave me a neighboring one. Also near the reception there is a special guest room, which is provided free of charge for such purposes.
In general, if you have any questions, write
I will answer any questions, and I can also tell you about the city, Egypt in general and about various excursions!
