“Hotel lost its old shine but beach is great!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 4, 2016

It was our second stay in the Faraana Reef Resort. We came back with good memories, not so many things have changed since our last stay, but it seems the hotel has lost its old shine - some parts of the hotel area were closed, the service was not so good as earlier, they destroyed the "New Panorama Restaurant" on...

“Disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed December 26, 2015 via mobile

I have been to this resort for three times in the past few years. The location is wonderful, one of the best bays in Sharm, however the overall quality has decreased through the years, starting from food, which is not usually my first care, but I have to say it was really bad. Rooms are quite old fashioned but still... More

“Warning! Uwaga !”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed July 22, 2015

I draw your attention to the fatal quality and variety of food in the main restaurant. There are no descriptions of dishes. You have to stand in a line and then the kitchen staff cuts for you ridiculously small portions of some tasteless meat or something uneatable - SCANDAL adn SHAME ! For 11 days we did not eat anything... More

“After 3 years, back to the reef....”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 8, 2015

Just back from a week in the resort, same as 3 years ago, no improvements but also no new bad things to say. Pity that the resort was occupied only 25%, maybe because of Ramadan holiday. Few words: - very clean everywhere; - repetitive food (a fish, a chicken or beef you can find at lunch and dinner, in the... More

In the interest of full disclosure I have to state that I don't like resort hotels, I probably never will like them and I wouldn't be at one under normal circumstances. That being the case please accept this review with the above in mind. We found ourselves here just during the day, on a couple of occasions, whilst waiting for... More
