Rested together with his wife at the Faran Club Hotel from May 25 to June 4.2010. Thanks to everyone who wrote reviews!
I note right away that we were looking for a quiet and relaxing holiday by the Red Sea with fish with a minimum of entertainment. Everything was great.
Immediately at the airport, nimble Arabs - representatives of various travel agencies sell stamps for gluing in the passport and give a form to fill out. They immediately offer, if you pay them $ 20, they will fill it out themselves. Fellow citizens, do not be disgraced. All the same, they are literate, and it’s very easy to figure out how to fill in three lines in a small piece of paper. With the money saved, it is better to buy hibiscus tea. Some compatriots began to stick stamps on letterheads. This is not true - it had to be torn off and re-pasted. The stamp is glued to the free page of the passport.
Now about the hotel.
There were no complaints about the food. Everything is fresh and tasty. There were no queues for meat - maybe we were resting out of season? In the evenings we went to an Italian restaurant - unlike the restaurant near the beach, it is always quiet there. To whom a party and a disco, loud music - in Temple Pool.
As for the coral.
There is no need to prepare in advance for scuba diving. On the spot, next to the hotel, in the shopping complex "1000 and 1 night" (it takes about 10 minutes to go to this market, to the left of the hotel), you can buy everything you need - flippers, masks, slippers. Swimming over the coral is a bit cold for an hour or two, so we bought tight-fitting black T-shirts and did swims in them.
The most beautiful coral in our bay is to the left of our beach near the stationary bridges from which vacationers of hotels of the 2nd line enter the water. If you swim further to the left, rounding the cape, the flora and fauna of the underwater world changes noticeably. An amazing blue coral was spotted. But the current in this place is strong - it's better to swim with a company, with a safety net - it's more fun.
In advance, it is better to stock up on a camera case for underwater shooting. At worst, buy a fotik here in a case. But the quality of the shooting will be unimportant.
By the way, the necessary clarification: the hotel's beach is about 150-200 meters long, with 3-5 rows of umbrellas. The sunbeds are tight, but given that half of the people are splashing in the sea, it was comfortable to rest. About a third of the beach, on the left side, is dug up by a fence of mats. I didn’t understand whether they reduced the area of the beach because of the small number of vacationers, or something else.
There is an announcement on the beach that topless sunbathing is prohibited and a separate announcement - "This is not a nudist beach. " During the rest, the nudity was not noticed.
The disadvantage is that the toilet closest to the beach is at the very top. 10 minutes stomp. You can survive.
For water, you need to have plastic bottles with you all the time and do not be lazy to fill them from coolers in bars and restaurants.
Our dear compatriots successfully dissolved among Italians, Poles and other foreign citizens.
Animation in Russian was not noticed - only on Sunday during breakfast, Russian-speaking young people were invited to some event dedicated to the presentation of bed linen with the compilation of a personal horoscope. It's kind of entertainment. Departure from Sharm was at 22.05, check-out from the hotel - 19.05. Since the estimated time is 2 pm, in order to stay in the rooms until 6 pm, they paid extra 25 euros per room.
