Good afternoon! He lived in the hotel "Faraana Reef" from 9.04 to 16.04, number 827, bought a tour in JoinUP, flew back and forth with SkyUp. Many thanks to SkyUp for the comfortable flight and service on board.
Hotel "Faraana Reef" is not 4 stars and even three, most likely, there are no stars in the hotel at all. The neighboring Reef Oasis Beach Hotel is like a 5-star hotel, but has a 4-star certificate at the front desk.
Settlement in Faraana Reef took place according to the standards of Egyptian service. First, the manager took me to the old murdered room, overlooking the wall, I asked to give another room, with an additional payment of $ 15 and miraculously, immediately appeared a normal room overlooking the central pool. So, if the hotel is full, be prepared to live in an old room with the smell of mold. Rooms with two hundred numbers, there were no free, buildings with numbers from 200 to 291, made repairs and more or less made paths with well-groomed plants.

My room is 827, near the reception, a room with the following breakdowns: the panel fell off under the sink and all the plumbing sticks out, the shower tray bursts in a web of cracks and the puddle was constantly standing, the hairdryer was full the stench of sewage.
Territory The hotel area is not well maintained, as there is no such garden, there are tortured palm trees which are not maintained and sandy lawns without grass. The central pool is cracked with fallen concrete of green hue, on the side of deck chairs. There is a lot of rubbish and cigarette butts on site. The sidewalk is cracked, in some places it fell out in pieces, and in some places it protrudes a couple of centimeters, so you have to walk and look under your feet. The descent to the waterfront is being repaired, but this did not create any inconvenience, as there is a good descent between the grill restaurant and hookah stuffing.
The gym sued, I better not look for it.
Broken exercise machines and treadmills are piled in a pile of scrap metal. There is no gym in short.
On the beach, 30% of sunbeds are broken, mostly old mattresses without stuffing, new mattresses need to be hunted. Umbrellas are large and few, so you need to take normal seats before 7 am. There are bulls and foreign objects in the sand. Locals can come to the beach from the side of the hookah mince, who have repeatedly watched as the hotel staff kicked them out. The pontoon is far from the beach, about 300 meters. The whole path runs through a pile of rubbish and a steep cliff, from which a piece of stone weighing several tons can come off. There are many locals on the pontoon who are not driven away by anyone, because they have a paid beach nearby, and they are free to use the pontoon. Local guys ask the girls in a swimsuit to be photographed, well you know, then they say they were resting and having fun with this girl.

The beach is located in the bay of Ras Ume el Sid, in my opinion one of the top bays of Sharma, coral is just amazing and beautiful, many fish, stingrays, moray eels, sharks have not seen. Beautiful coral brings its disadvantages, 7-10 ships sail here with vacationers to dive. When all these ships begin to sail, they raise the cold water to the top, it becomes uncomfortable to swim and the most unpleasant of the ships is a film of gasoline on the water surface.
The food in the restaurant is monotonous, I did not expect more from a hotel of this class. Soups can be called broth, one water. Squid in batter is like rubber. The fish was caught with scales, and on one, and a large piece of unpeeled fish, I'm not talking about bones. One day it turned out that breakfast was very meager, at lunch there was just very little food, vacationers went with grumbling bellies complaining that there was nothing to eat.
When a group of Italians arrived, then began crabs in vegetables, various pastries, potatoes in foil, fruit. The manager is standing and watching who is piling up a lot of food on one plate and in quiet horror shakes his head, on which my compatriots pile whole pyramids on one plate and a sweet pie on top. Dear compatriots, take meat and garnish in one plate, salad in another, do not pile on a plate.
Italians in this hotel are simply licked, they are brought a fork, a spoon, they bring a deck chair across the beach, the worker carries a drink a hundred meters away, all the waterfalls in the hotel are included. If you want to feel like a third-class country, you want to go to this hotel.
Italians talk very loudly and smoke on the beach, although other people and children, go away and smoke away is not about them. He was very shocked when the Italian lit a barbecue on the beach during lunch.
The hotel is not worth 19.200 UAH paid for the tour.
