The hotel itself is quite pretty with a great view over the sea. The snorkelling is fantastic with a coral reef just off the beach. Food was good and plentiful. Basically catering to Russian clientele. However, the check-in staff are very rude and are not at all concerned with making the guest happy, resorting to blackmail before they give you... more

Me and wife stayed at this hotel in November 2008 for 10 nights and on arrival found the hotel staff to be welcoming, but as we arrived very late we were given sandwiches as the hotel does not do room service. When it comes to the pool and beech both of which are stunning however there are far too many... more

Although a little more expensive than some hotels in Sharm the Fanara was worth every cent. The welcome on arrival set the scene for a very enjoyable holiday for 4 English ladies out for a bit of sun, sea, sand and cocktails. Every member of staff was pleasant and helpful. The rooms were spotless and changed every day. The food... more

Just returned from a week here all inclusive, maybe our expectations were too high (although to be honest we weren't expecting much), but just found the place very average. By far the best factor was the reef which was stunning - especially early morning before the water had been churned up. However sadly the reef was not being looked after... more

Stay did not start well as arrived at 1.00 am to find that hotel was overbooked for rooms that we had requested so first night was 4 people in one room with two on camp beds. However things did improve after that. Hotel is a good size, relatively small, with all the rooms close to the pool but make sure... more

Everything was fine. Except THEFTS. Mobile phone was stolen from the room. I was away to Cairo through the night, forgot my phone in the room. Put a sign 'do not disturb' on the door, locked it. When I came back, found the door not locked and no mob phone. So, that means anyone(from catering crew) can go into your... more

We arrived 3 days ago and we still cant stop to see the videos and photos. Our son was specially delighted with the fishes and the camels. Sharm-el-sheik is a true turistical place (in a good way and in a bad way, like all true turistical places). They "exploit" the historical places, the desert and the sea (corals) from all... more

We were placed in the Iberotel Club Fanara after being overbooked at the next door Reef Oasis Beach. After initial reservations it proved to be a much better option. The hotel has beautiful grounds with the gardeners spending endless time keeping things tidy & beautiful. It gave the hotel an air of quality. We used the residence pool as it... more

Stayed in the residence part- only 5 to 10 mins walk to beach. 3 difft restuarants to chose from- all are buffet style, with lots on offer. Pools are very good and sun loungers can be found all day. Beach is amazing. Reef has lots of varieties of fish. You can hire snorkels and a digital camera for the sea... more
