Advice on choosing a hotel
We are going to Sharm in early November, friends vacationed at Club Faraana Reef, a very cool beach and entrance to the sea .. But reviews are everywhere .. to put it mildly, not very ... Maybe someone will advise an inexpensive hotel with a good entrance to the sea not from a pontoon? ??

There are 3 more hotels near Faraana with the same entrance. Good entrance, good conditions and inexpensive utopia. Consider Hurghada and its environs. The choice is many times greater, in early November it is the most
With your outgoing messages, without a budget and Wishlist, it is unrealistic to advise

If the main Wishlist is a beach and a good entrance - check out the hotels of Sharm el Maya Bay or Naama Bay

Very budget hotels Ghazala Beach / Ghazala Gardens in Naama Bay.
By the time of the trip, all hotels in Nabq Bay will become cheaper.

mindguru, and where is the entrance to the nabq without a pontoon?
aleksandrakrav, see hotels in Naama Bay suitable for your budget, most hotels with beaches where the entrance is without a pontoon.

Barcelo may be the only hotel in Nabq with a sandy beach. But this year, prices for it have risen sharply, and not all tour operators work with it in 2019 due to pending contracts.

So I didn’t understand, my friends were resting and didn’t advise anything?
The Faraana Club is the only four in Ras um Sid Bay, the other three are fives, which is why it is more expensive. If only you need a sandy entry into the sea, all hotels have a sandy entrance, but already from the depth to the waist there is a coral reef, one of the best in Sharm. For food, I was satisfied with the assortment of food, especially in the Grill restaurant, which is next to the coast. You lie on the beach, from there it smells of food cooked on coals! Next to Faraana cafe Mince, famous in Sharm (Bedouin style), excellent coffee, hookahs. In short, I have already written about this hotel so many times that I thought “enough. There is a story about it, photo albums, see my account.
The only thing is, I had a rest two years ago, but I will go there again with pleasure. And yet - take it in bungalows (if you are going there), the second floor, on the first floor there is an exit from the door directly to the street without a balcony.

If you need cheaper hotels, I advise you to look for a hotel in the depths of the territory ... for example: "DIVE INN SWISS RESORT 4 *"; "Old Vic Sharm"; Sharm Coral Hills Resort Sharm El Sheikh 4*. These hotels are far from the coast, but vacationers are taken to the beaches. As a rule, they carry on two types of beaches - a sandy beach in the bay of Sharm el Maya and a beach with a reef (this is either Reef Beach or El Fanar Beach). From almost all the hotels nearby, guests are also taken to two beaches (sandy with sunset from the shore and a beach with a reef).

My friends went to Sharm. I advised them to Faraan, but as always the travel agent convinced them - "take the second line, it will be cheaper, and they will take you to the beaches." This is the second line in the Hadaba area, I remember the hotel, I can write.
I'm talking about the export to the beach. Once they went to the sandy beach in Sharm el Maya Bay (a transfer crowded with people, and it rarely goes), they decided to go to Phanara Beach, where you need to buy sunbeds (naturally, towels with you), so they went to the Farsha cafe , there is a descent to the sea and made their way to the beach of Faraana, there are a lot of sunbeds and they were not driven. When they arrived they decided not to mess with the second or third lines anymore unless those hotels had good pools. That's how it was! But of course cheaper!

Yes, I'll clarify.
Hotel "Old Vic Sharm", acquaintances do not recommend it to those who do not want to mess with transport trips to the sea. Also from them - the sea in the bay of Sharm el Maya was dirty.

alex45 Yes, I completely agree with you. This "savings" is being sidelined. In Egypt, I choose the first line for myself, a hotel with a "own" beach. Be sure to have a standard number, I choose a short pier (even if the reef is simpler), so that there is a place (territory) for swimming. And, of course, for the hotel to be an oasis...
I don't watch the second or third lines.

The author of the question has heard about the reef in the bay of Ras Um El Sid (".. acquaintances rested at Club Faraana .."). If you really go there, it's better to "Reef Oasis Beach Resort", or "Sentido Reef Oasis Senses Aqua Park". Apparently he doubts ... a little expensive.

Honestly, it's the same! Only the Reef with Sentido is 5 *, Faraana -4 *. That's it, that the reef is the same, and I'm going to Egypt. only because of the reef and its inhabitants.
We ate when we found out about the Grill restaurant, only there at lunch. Euro breakfasts are not particularly different, no matter what hotel we are in. Dinners were good, varied in the central restaurant. The room suited us, I only slept in the room, and then in the sea and early is better.
Those. who swims badly and for children - fine sand under their feet, fish swim up to the feet of the children, beg.
So, why pay more for fives in the hotels listed. Moreover, water slides are not needed, water parks are also not needed. Therefore, I do not write that Oasis Reef is bad, just why would I pay extra in this case if Faraana suits me. Something like this! Agree? The only thing is that the Reef has a pontoon, and to the right of Faraana at the Farsha cafe there are bridges, but I calmly swam to the reef from the shore. Here I once again show the coast of the bay with its beaches.

The photo shows a good view of the beach. The foreground is the "Faraana Reef" beach, then the pontoon of the "Reef Oasis Beach", behind it comes the Reef Oasis Beach itself, a little further behind it, a section of the "Sentido Reef Oasis Senses Aqua Park" beach, and under the rock, El Fanar , but still in the bay, the beach "Jaz Fanara Resort" (a white descent to the beach is visible). The paid beaches of "El Fanar Beach" are poorly visible, the farthest pier on the cape ...
The best place is still Reef Oasis Beach. There is a pontoon. The reef has a convenient configuration, a plan view (it can be clearly seen in the photo)

Good afternoon! Connoisseurs of Egypt, I ask you for advice! In November, on my birthday, I'm going to Egypt. Was already 6 times, I have an idea about the level of service and hotels. But I can't decide which hotel to book. Three young ladies are coming. The budget is up to 2000 bucks for three. One of us does not swim, so we need a good entry into the sea, the other two love snorkeling - we need a good reef. Good, varied food and service is very important. I would like to have a large territory and the first line. Last year we were in Sharm in Reef Oasis Beach - I liked everything, but I would like to change the picture. Now I am considering Albatros Citadel, but I am confused by the small amount of greenery. Although I would like exotic ... The travel agent recommends Sultan Gardens, but it seems to me that our non-swimming friend will not be very comfortable there. I watched Dessert Rose - but somehow everything is very bland. In general, I got completely confused. I'm waiting for advice!

Look at the Naama Bay hotels - Novotel and Mariott, the beach and the entrance to the sea are sandy, both hotels have large green areas, and the location is very good. Just right for your budget.
Sultan gardens is also a very decent hotel

Vika, look at Domina Coral Bay 5 * - there are SEVEN hotels on the territory, there are cheaper, more expensive, and the beach is 1.7 km away !! there are sandy entries, and three short pontoons. The territory is beautiful, we didn’t even go around everything in 2 weeks. On the territory there is an eco-farm, taxis (such small buses, you can ride), and most importantly, chic animation in the evenings, and live music / singer in a cafe and dancing under the stars! A lot of Italians (this is a half-Italian hotel) So for 3 young ladies - that's it! At the reception there is usually a Russian-speaking guest relay, you can call them on viber and she will tell you - there are often discounts to one of the hotels - when, approximately by dates ...

aleksandrakrav,
rested in Faraan, and in Sentido. If you care about the sea - this is here. if not laziness, read my reviews of both hotels - I wrote honestly, pictures - in the same place

I agree with the advice of Domina Coral Bay 5 *, in the evening there is a disco, in general, you can buzz normally, the rest is like everywhere else, where it is allegedly forbidden, for example, a salt lake, only for the residents of this hotel, every morning they swam very well after the disco, by the way, I remembered good restaurants on the territory , with normal food, in general, if the three of us rest there.
