I have just come back from a holiday at the Iberotel Club Fanara where my sister and I spent a week in January 08. I had read good reviews about this hotel before coming so was expecting pleasant surroundings and service- we were certainly not disappointed. Efficient check in, friendly and approachable staff, from the receptionist to the cooks and gardeners, everyone was bending backwards to make our stay more enjoyable. The animation staff were doing their best to entertain the tourists by the pool and offering comic littleplays in the evening in the amphitheatre ; my sister and I took the opportunity while there to learn belly dancing with Latifa , (the only girl in the animation team, who we instantly sympathised with ), as well as archery and table tennis .
The hotel's main restaurant ( there are 2 ) offers a wonderful view of the red sea, and serves a varied menu ( italian , american, mexican flavours etc depending on the day of the week).

We were particularly impressed with the cleanliness of the place . Only downside perhaps, we found we could hear people in the neighbouring room to ours a bit too much, that did not spoil our stay but caused us to wake up earlier than we'd have liked !

One of the best moments we spent in the hotel has to be the wonderful massage ( at a very reasonable price compared to London's) provided by Hussein, oneof the hotel's gym and masseur,who did wonders to relieve me from the stress of my hectic life in London ! I would not hesitate to recommend to any stressed out holiday maker, even though i found the massage room a bit to small.

Overall, a great hotel where we spent a memorable time in one of the most interesting places I 've visited so far...

as a solo traveller, i must say i felt very secure and safe at all times on my holiday, the staff were friendly , helpful, always smiling, the hotel itself was excellant, food was good, pleanty of it, the all inclusive is very good value, the room was clean, a good size, comfortable, the grounds are well kept, and the pool and beach also well looked after,
i couldnt find fault with this hotel, i had a wonderful holiday, would highly recommend it.

The Iberotel Club Fanara is a really nice hotel. We just spent four nights there. The room was very clean, the food was not excellent but good and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
Moreover the price-perfomance-ratio was great.
The small beach (it might be a bit crowded there when you spend your holiday there during high-season) is just next to the hotel. Just a short swim from the beach you will find a great under water world.
We had booked a package with "all inclusive" (food and drink, but also snorkeling equipment and free snorkeling tours were inclusive).

This is the second hotel I have stayed in in Sharm. I would say that it is a good 3 star hotel. We had a family suit which was quite small. 1 bedroom and reception where my daughter slept. There is only 1 chair to sit in if your child has the sofa bed with 2 English tv channels (cartoons and movies). The hotel itself is pleasant enough with sauna,(massage with fee) gym, tennis courts, archery lessons, table tennis and pool/snooker and small child's play area. It is well situated for some good snorkeling. The beach although small is good for young children as the sea gently slopes, and is shallow for children to play. It would also be good for their or your first snorkeling experience.

Good points: Clean, well situated for snorkeling, and fairly good leisure facilities.

Bad points: Family suites are small, food is poor, although no sickness, all inclusive NOT, if you want certain drinks they are really expensive. A bailyes of the smallest measure was £6. Next to no night time entertainment.

I have to say that we booked this hotel because of the positive high scores people gave on review sites. Lots of people gave this hotel a 9 and 10, all I can say is their standards must be really low as all I can give is a 6 or maybe if I am being generous a 7.

Overall a pleasant enough hotel with just enough to offer, with great snorkeling, just a shame the food is very poor.
