14th trip to Sharm and we finally got to Jaz Phanara. Despite the fact that this is a 4, the hotel turned out to be better than some fives. There are a lot of reviews written, so I'll go over the points, what I liked and what I didn't.

The most relevant thing for now is the observance of sanitary standards: there is order. All staff are wearing masks, gloves, everything is treated with an antiseptic (and even umbrellas on the beach). Once, at breakfast, they saw how the waiter, after people, brushed crumbs off the table, turned the napkin over and put down the cutlery, causing our "oblique glances", but apparently, a "pendel" was received and at dinner everything was again treated with a disinfectant and rubbed dry.

Room - superior (1226), spacious, bright, normal furniture (as for Egypt), the balcony overlooks the road and the neighboring hotel, noisy. The so-called garden is a series of liquid bushes. A little strained change of towels (brought in the evening from 17 to 18), but cleaned and changed towels in the bathroom without reminders. Every day, 1.5 liters of water are placed in the room and replenished with tea-coffee-sugar.
The food is good, but the food is almost all spicy with spices, I would like more "European" cuisine. There is a diet table. I didn’t have enough side dishes: spaghetti is cold, potatoes are always combined with something, rice in one version. But a lot of meat and fish, once a week - seafood (soup is inedible, squid and octopus in batter, crabs), a good selection of fruits and sweets. There are packaged mango and guava juices. I liked the coffee - you can have a badiazh from the coffee machine, but it's better to ask the bartender and he will make you a fragrant grain. The bar near the pool is very conveniently located: at lunch, in order not to go to the main restaurant, you can sit down and order pizza, salads and burgers from the menu. There is always ice cream at the bar and, again, very tasty coffee (special thanks to the bartender, he drew us all sorts of patterns right on the foam))))
The sea is the most important landmark for me when choosing a hotel. The bay is warm and calm, the water is azure. The beach is really... small (by the way, the sun loungers in the hotel are excellent), the people are very dense, because. many small children, not very comfortable to rest. The beach itself is constantly cleaned, rowed, so it's clean. A gentle entry into the sea and sand is undoubtedly a plus for families with children, and even adults during a storm. For people like me who love to "snork", you need to swim for a long time to see a normal live coral, near the hotel it is dead. But if you swim to the left - already livelier. I saw a huge black stingray and a large moray eel. As it was written earlier, the biggest disadvantage of the hotel is the lack of a toilet on the beach, which is of course trash... while you climb the stairs, you can "not run".
The Internet is weak, in the lobby, at the pool bar, but it was enough for social networks.
Animation - excellent, despite the quarantine; on the beach, by the pool, in the evening there is also something to do.

In general, the impression of visiting Jazz Fanara was positive. Beautiful design in oriental style, very attentive attitude of all the staff and warm sea make the rest wonderful. We will recommend the hotel to friends.
