“Fanara's reef sunset, food gripes”
JAZ Fanara Resort is a magical Sharm El Sheikh spot — epic sunsets, an incredible reef just off the front, clean elegant rooms, friendly staff, and a big activity list from yoga and dance shows to tennis and a thirty-minute walk to Farsha cafe; snorkel gear rents for a small fee. The negatives are substantive: several guests call the food terrible or short on variety, drinking water runs out with no bottles provided, and the snack bar is insufficient — the reef out front is called the resort's only saving grace by one who would not return.
