Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 20 days ago

TL;DR

Reviews are mixed: Jaz Fanara had serious food poisoning cases (IV drips, fever), while Sentido Reef Oasis and Grand Rotana had no stomach issues reported — it varies by specific hotel and luck.

Another traveler defends their chosen hotel (not Jaz): per their travel agent, the Italian cuisine is great, fish dishes are among the best, and it's even a stop for excursions — argues stomach issues can happen anywhere, including at home.

The worst experience was specifically at Jaz Fanara: the traveler's daughters were on an IV drip for a day (covered by insurance), while the traveler themselves refused treatment and spent a week in bed with fever afterward.
