Which room type is best to book at Faraana or ROBB, and how do beach areas work in large Egyptian resort complexes?

According to one traveler, the beach at Faraana used to belong entirely to that hotel all the way to the pier, but it was later deliberately split up among multiple hotels.

At ROBB, room blocks may not be strictly separated by guest category, and the hotel has its own beach that one traveler found mostly empty. The beach bar reportedly serves bottled beer, and some guests were able to use that area without staff objecting.

At Jaz Almaza, the beach works as part of a very large hotel compound with multiple security checkpoints at entry. The shoreline is split into sections for different hotels, each with its own bar and entertainment, so it matters which exact hotel and beach section your booking includes.

For Faraana, travelers suggest not leaving room placement to chance and booking a Front Beach category from the start. It is recommended for the sea view and to avoid ending up in a less desirable building, while the beach itself is considered good and the location convenient.
