4-star beach resort with Green Star sustainability certification in Sharm el-Sheikh
Private Beach & Snorkeling
Jaz Fanara Residence offers a private beach area with sun loungers and direct access to one of the best house reefs in Sharm el-Sheikh, visited by local dive centers. Snorkeling from the beach reveals abundant fish, including stingray and barracuda, with the coral reef starting 40-50 meters offshore. The beach is protected from wind, making it a strong choice for stays between January and April.
Accommodations & Rooms
Deluxe Family rooms offer queen beds and garden views, while Residence rooms are frequently mentioned as guest favorites across multiple reviews. Rooms include air conditioning, minibars, and free toiletries, with daily housekeeping staff leaving towel art and small surprises. Family rooms and kids' rooms are available to accommodate groups of all sizes.
Dining & Bars
Three on-site restaurants serve Italian and international cuisines, including Nino's Italian restaurant and the main buffet at El Medina. A snack bar near the beach offers fresh pizzas and burgers, while the Sangria Bar and poolside bar serve espresso martinis and spiced gin cocktails within the all-inclusive package. Breakfast at La Gazelle provides omelettes, cous cous, and fresh juices, with plant-based milks available for vegans and allergics.
Pools & Recreation
Three outdoor swimming pools include a heated pool open in winter months, a kids' pool, and two pool areas - one active near the beach and one quiet at La Gazelle end. Guests can join daily activities such as aqua aerobics, archery, darts, and tennis on the hotel's tennis court. Evening entertainment includes live music performances, a nightclub with DJ, and a weekly party hosted by Mr. Oscar.
Wellness & Family
The spa and wellness center provides massage, beauty treatments, a hammam, sauna, steam room, and hot tub with spa/wellness packages available. A kids' club and children's playground keep younger guests occupied, while the hotel's entertainment staff organizes nightly shows and activities. Safety features include smoke detectors, security alarms, and CCTV in common areas and outside property.
Highlights

Pools: 3 outdoor pools, heated in winter

“This Sharm el-Sheikh property strikes me as a solid choice for families wanting both beach access and all-inclusive ease, especially given its Green Star certification. I noticed the staff receives high marks for attentiveness and the heated pools extend the swim season, a definite plus. For a relaxing holiday with kids, it's hard to argue with that combination.”
