Hotel Jaz Fanara Resort (Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt)

The staff members at the Jaz Fanara Residence are helpful and welcoming. From the front office to the service staff and even the leisure activity staff have been appreciated in guest reviews. They make the guests feel welcome and add to the great atmosphere of the hotel. Ahmed from reception has been mentioned as having been particularly good. The animation team here is very good, providing great entertainment for the guests.

The rooms are described as spacious, clean and bright, with wonderful views. They are cleaned every morning to a very high standard, which adds to the comfort level of the guests.

There are some great bars in the hotel, especially the lobby bar, called Fantasia. The decor here is a fusion of Ottoman and Moroccan, which gives a very pleasing effect, say guests. The cocktails are reportedly very good here.

At certain times of the day the Wi-Fi connection in the public area is very slow, which can make it very difficult for those to whom Internet connectivity is vital.

The beach near the hotel is very small and the corals are very faded from having been trod on. However, if one goes snorkelling on the beach, a little further out from the shore the corals are magnificent. According to some of the guests, the beach needs a jetty in order to make snorkelling more accessible and give more scope to guests to discover the beach.

Smoking is not banned in this hotel, nor is it limited in any way. Therefore, guests who are non-smokers find it extremely difficult to cope with the cigarette smoke that they encounter in every area of the hotel.
