January or February? Phanar Club or Reef Oasis?
Help, please, with a choice. I have read the reviews but have questions. We are traveling with a 4-5 month old baby. Need a beautiful reef, wind protection, good service. If I understand correctly, you need to choose from Ras Um El Sid, in the Hadaba area. These are three hotels: Reef Oasis 5*, Iberotel Phanara 4* and Club El Farana 4*.
Tell me which of these 3 hotels will be most comfortable with a baby. We will be with a stroller.
and also, when it is better, in January (after the 10th) or in February (after the 10th).
Or, there are other good options.

I haven’t been to these hotels, the weather is more comfortable in February, but I can say for sure if Egypt is in Sinai in Sharm hotels of the Sierra or Savoi group, good luck ..

there is practically no difference in weather in February and January (in February there may be more winds). In terms of protection from the winds, there are also Sharm el Maya and Naama Bay bays. and from the hotels you suggested, I would opt for a reef oasis

However, I am sure that the most peaceful bay is Ras Um El Sid. Tested on myself)) For 10 days, no wind, no restless sea. I repeat, they took people on their way to Cairo and the airport from other bays, so some complained about the winds and currents. Sometimes there were red flags. We have peace and quiet. Why these risks!
In our hotel (Iberotel Phanara) we saw a lot of couples with babies in strollers. Some rested constantly near the pool, some on the beach (you can go down the stairs to the beach, but there is a descent for the stroller, I don’t know in the Reef). I want to note that the beach is definitely larger and more comfortable in Reef Oasis. But the Iberotel Phanara is very calm and quiet, which is also important. The food at the Iberotel is good and of high quality.
You didn’t mention the cost, maybe it’s irrelevant, but the Oasis Reef is an order of magnitude more expensive.

For the price we pass to the Reef Oasis. The main thing is that it is warm (without wind), high-quality food (because we are breastfeeding), so that it is convenient to drive up to the beach with a stroller, because. I don't like pools. If there is such a beautiful sea, why climb into bleach? Although, the eldest son thinks differently.
Reef Oasis, I read, has a very noisy beach. The music screams, the baby won't sleep. This is true?
Like at Phanara on the beach with sun loungers, can you take it easy? We do not get up early, no one will run to borrow.

February is the coldest month on the coast of Sharm. You can sunbathe, but swim .... for an amateur.
In any case, heated pools will save the day.

I agree with chugai. We were in Hurghada in December, the sea was 22 degrees, but I no longer wanted to climb there. Also the wind...
But in the bay we are considering, be sure that the winds will not bother you. Plus - the water will be warmer than in the open sea. For your questions:
- there is a heated pool in Phanar, Reef - I don’t know (need to study).
- quality food - yes, I pjumal and noted that the Phanar has quality food, so everything will be fine, there should be no problems with the tummy))) A lot of mothers, with strollers (I repeat) ate with appetite, I did not hear any complaints . And we didn't have stomach problems. When I studied the hotels of this bay, Phanara was in the first place in terms of food.
- Reef Oasis beach is not noisy, the music just yells at El Pharaana Club (through the hotel). But! There are noisy evenings in the Reef Oasis, my husband and I went to rest at 23:00 and heard the music yelling in the Reef, and we had silence already.
- with a stroller it is definitely convenient to drive up to the Phanara beach - this is a fact. In the Reef, I don't know, but I think it's the same.
- we also went to the beach late (about 9:30-10:00) and spent time in order to find free sunbeds. But they were never left without them.

In general, I would probably recommend you the Reef, although I personally really liked Phanara)) Read the reviews, look at the photos, maybe your heart will tell you where your vacation will be more beautiful)

Reef Ofzis and Phanara-hotels, neighbors and beaches are relatively the same. You don’t need to run to take up space. winter months. You may be lucky with the sun, but there are also winds with a not entirely clear sky. It is not possible to predict which month will be more convenient for you - this is winter. Decide what suits you best.

three hotels one after another in a row, the worst beach in the Iberian hotel is small and instead of sand, construction shavings and sunbeds are old, but normal in the reef and pharaan. The largest and newer is the reef, but in Pharaan there are many living corals and the sea is more beautiful than in those. At the expense of food and service, the Iber hotel is in 1st place, then the reef, and at the end of the Pharaan there is food for C grade with an interference.

In Reef Oasis, is it possible to go down the path to the beach in a stroller or just steps? can't find information? I found only that there are many steps :-) Please, friends who have been to the Reef Oasis and know, tell me. I’m more inclined towards the Oasis Reef, since according to Phanar they write that the beach and sunbeds are bad (the worst beach in the Iberian hotel is small and instead of sand, construction shavings and sunbeds are old).

I read a couple of reviews, I also don’t see information on the descent, it’s best to ask a question in the Reef Hotel thread. Those who have been in this hotel will tell you for sure. I want to draw your attention to the division of REEF OASIS BEACH RESORT and REEF OASIS Senses, study this point, there is a difference in the benefits provided to tourists. Also, there is construction going on in the Reef. Let the guys from whom you will buy a ticket ask the hotel management for information about what they are building there.
Regarding the Phanara beach - I can say for sure, yes - it is small, but I didn’t notice that the sand was like shavings, ahem .. I didn’t notice, it looks more like finely ground stones)) I’m sure the same thing is observed in all three hotels. By the way, among the advantages of the Reef, I can note the pontoon, and among the advantages of the Phanar - there is a very green, beautiful territory, more beautiful than in the Reef, and of course the food.

in the photo of this tourist, in my opinion, it is clear that there is a descent without steps.

Agree with valievat. Relatives just returned from the Iberotel Phanar yesterday. 1 - for all 10 days calm, the sea is calm, while there were waves behind the cape. 2 - the food was always varied, tasty, there were no poisonings. 3 - since the bay is surrounded by a rock, it takes 5 minutes to go down to the sea. no more, the descent is gentle, very wide, even a car can drive :) 4 - the beach is smaller than the oasis near the reef, but there were always more than enough sunbeds, there were 4 of us, they came to the beach at 9.00 and everyone settled down without problems. 5 - the sand is rough, but again, during the rest there were many young parents with children, and with one-year-olds too, this nuance did not annoy anyone, the children frolicked and did not feel discomfort. what else... well, my mother said that in the evenings there was a noisy disco in the reef oasis, and that it is still calmer in Phanar, so it's up to you :) Have a good rest!

"REEF OASIS BEACH RESORT" is the first line, and "REEF OASIS Senses" - further from the sea (700m), the second line is obtained.

Faraana Club Reef would not recommend. We were in October, the child was 10 months old, also on breastfeeding, fortunately, he was already eating canned mashed potatoes, which we took with us (there is nothing to feed the child at the hotel), but I got very sick and spent the whole day lying in the room. And 3 days later departed again. As it turned out, there are a lot of poisonings there, just not everyone writes about it. And cockroaches in the dining room run around the dishes (well, along the dishes, probably))). The husband also did not feel very well (in terms of the gastrointestinal tract) the whole rest. If you can, then it’s better to choose Oasis Reef, reviews about it seem to be good and looking at its beach, it seems that it is better) have a good rest!

Not all the same beach in the Reef Oasis, the music yells that you. Places closer to Faraana, for example (and close to the pontoon) are quite quiet. But you know, I think the noise will not interfere with the child, in the open air it will most likely be cut down like that!
