We have just arrived back from two weeks at the wonderful Baron Palms. The manager Ghassan Dalal was a superb help and made our two weeks most enjoyable. The food at the Tiran and Paradise restaurants was delicious. Every night in the Tiran restaurant they had a different type of food being served, such as Italian, Chinese, Mexican, fish, and many others. Also the waiters were so kind and helpful.
The lobby area has a wonderful flower arrangement in the centre of the room. There is also a terrace where you could sit whenever you liked. During the day, you can sit in and around the pool, it is relaxing, but you can have a good time there as well. The beach is one of the excellent things at the Baron Palms hotel, there are bars which serve drinks and food, and you can enjoy water activities like water skiing, paragliding, snorkeling, scubadiving, speeboat trips, and other things too. There is a huge amphitheatre where you can watch a wide variety of entertainment every night, which is performed by the Animation Team; this also involves the audience too.
The rooms at the Baron Palms are brilliant because you can sit on your balcony and look over the pool. Some days you get displays made out of towels and flowers, which the cleaners make on your bed, they even lay out your pyjamas! So if you fancy a holiday in Egypt, this is the place to go!

I cant understand what everyone is moaning about. I have just got back from 2 weeks at the Baron Resort and i couldnt fault it one bit. Well, maybe one thing. The beds around the pool. I havent a clue what time the russian guests were getting up to put their towels on but it must have been around 5am, the beds were then left empty all day up until 5pm!! What a waste. Just meant we sampled the beach more which was nice.
The Rooms - They were large, well maintained and very clean. We had a twin room which was 2 double beds so nothing to complain about there. It was overlooking the tennis courts and carpark which we preferred as it was quieter than the pool / sea view rooms. There was a large en suite bathroom which included everything - hair dryer, slippers, bath robes and all soaps, gels, shampoo's etc. They were even cleaned everyday which we thought wasnt needed as some days we were on excursions and hadnt even used the room.
The reason we stayed b&b is because we read the reviews regarding the all inclusive package and i think we made a wise idea, the breakfast was great and the staff were always happy to help, if they didnt have say apple juice that morning they would be happy to go and get some for you and things like that.
Food is cheap enough in Naama bay so dont feel you have to go all inclusive just to save money.
The hotel itself is gorgeous and is in a nice quiet location right on the beach. It is 5 star standard inside for sure with big high ceilings and bright marble floors. What i have read about the reception staff is hard to believe as we found them fine along with the bar staff who were very polite and also quite funny at times. If you feel they are being rude then they are just probably joking around as we found out ourselves. Especially Ahmed and Mohamed.
The restaurants within the hotel complex could do with a little improvement, the Italian is beautiful (if you can get a reservation) The Indian is ok but we only ate there once and the beach bar needs a few more options.
The pool bar is good and have a quite good choice on the menu.
We ordered room service a few times which was cheaper than the restaurants and just as nice.
There isnt much i can write about the beach as it was too hot when we went and an hour or 2 was the most we could handle, it is lovely though and well cleaned and looked after along with the pier and diving / snorkelling area.
Well, there isnt much more i can write apart from we will be going back to the hotel in future, maybe when the weather is a little cooler but the hot weather couldnt take anything away from this gorgeous hotel and resort.

Just returned from the baron resort last week and have to say it was a major disapointment. As it was our honeymoon, we had let thomas cook know, and had requested a sea/pool view and maybe hoped for a few little extras being a special time for us. We arrived to a room with a car park view with seperate beds, and they refused to move us unless we paid £12 per night extra, unbelievable!! And the reception staff were unhelpful and downright arrogant.
We were eventually offered a move to a room with double bed which was half the size with an even worse view, so seperate beds it was!! The all inclusive package was very misleading, it includes everything....except half the restauraunts, the tennis courts, the spa, the treatments etc......
The beach restauraunt was hilarious, we sat down, wondering why we were the only ones there, asked the waiter for a menu....only to be told we had a choice of a beef baguette or cheese baguette, like it or lump it, you couldnt make it up.
At night the Animation team did their best to entertain but apart from that there was no other forms of entertainment. On the good side the weather was amazing, the hotel is spotless and the pools are great, also most of the staff are very helpful ( specially when tipped). Overall we were very let down but had a good relaxing holiday none the less, but not great and never a 5 star in a million years.

Very poor, it was our honeymoon and we had requested a sea or pool view if possible with hopefully any extras. on arrival we had a desert view and a twin room (seperate beds) they wouldnt move us unless we paid £12.00 per night extra, and receptin men very arrogant and unhelpful.
Also all inclusive very misleading as it doesnt include the gym, tennis courts, spa, indian restaurant and .
Sinai buffet very basic and repetitive, trust me when youve eaten in there a few nights in a row youl understand what i mean, staff helpful if tipped...
Never a 5 star in a million years, weather great, hotel really clean but food and staff really let the place down, and the all inclusive is just laughable...
a big let down....never again

Arrival
We arrived on time and a little worried because of some of the recent reviews, we needn’t have been. We were welcomed of the bus, our luggage was tagged and taken to our room; we tipped but were not pressured to do so. At reception the whole process took about 10-15mins for 20 people, the staff were friendly, informative and obviously keen that we would enjoy our stay.
Room
This was better than we expected, pool view, clean, two bathrooms, mini bar; all that was advertised on line. We travelled with our four year old, and therefore had a third bed; however there was plenty of room. During our stay the room boy, kept us fully supplied with water; the room was cleaned immaculately. If we met him he would always enquire if everything was ok and ask if were enjoying ourselves. Again we tipped, but out of choice; and here is a little tip for you. If you are going to tip anybody, do it early in your holiday, maybe 70% of what you planned to tip; if you get the service give the balance at the end of your stay; this has worked for us worldwide.
Food
Firstly the Tiran restaurant, we arrived on a Thursday night at about 20.00hrs, we were hungry at went straight to the Tiran. Thursday is Mexican night and it was fantastic, we tried as much of the varied buffet as possible and we enjoyed it all, remember we have a 4 year old and she ate for England! Men please note long trousers for dinner, and no flip flops or sleeveless tops (Quite right, well done the management). You will find all the staff helpful, friendly and accommodating; the Chefs and management are continually checking the quality, temperature of food and replenishing the buffet.
Breakfast has a mixture of buffet, salads, eggs and waffles cooked to order, wonderful breads, yogurts, fresh honey, jams, cereals etc, etc. you will find something that suits. Yes you can by fresh orange, strawberry and mango juice at £2. We didn’t find this a problem as there are free juices available where you can also get specialist teas, occasionally our daughter wanted the fresh juice and two pounds hardly breaks the bank.
Lunch, we only used this on one occasion as preferred to eat at the pool bar for lunch. When we did eat there was a good choice and we ate well.
Dinner consisted of themed nights; it is worth finding out what is on when as this will help you when you book the al a carte restaurants. For example Thursday is Mexican, Saturday is fish. On the fish night, you can select fish to be cooked to order from the area where the eggs are cooked at breakfast. We selected Sea Bream and Red Snapper, gave our table number and 20 minutes layer we had the most beautiful fish dinner; obviously we ate a starter and some salad whilst waiting for the fish to be cooked. Our only gripe would be that the lighting is set very low, and as the fish is served on the bone filleting it for our 4 year old was difficult especially as she likes to do it herself. But hey, it tasted that good we soon forgot the lights. We tended to mix where we ate for dinner rotating between Paradise, Egyptian and the Tiran; this ensured things were not too repetitive, not that we found things to be so. Beers and Wine available, you will also have to top up on bottled water at lunch and dinner. Even though we didn’t use the lunch facilities the matre de fetched us water upon request, we also collected water at dinner.
Secondly, Paradise Pool Bar; Staff are all fantastic friendly, helpful, playful with children; we spent a lot of happy lunchtimes out of the sun. The lunch consisted of, Pasta, home made burgers, Sea Bass fillets, Pizzas, salads, ice cream; washed down with wine and water, delicious. Drink plenty of water as the temperature at lunch was often over 40 degrees. At night it becomes an al a carte, serving the most wonderful steaks and fish, you need to book the day before and it gets booked up fast; we booked at about 8am. You will also be approached to pay for this restaurant, for this you get a far more substantial choice; we tried this £42 for three people; however we couldn’t eat the amount they provided and felt the free menu plenty. But if you fancy some lobster or steak servings even the Americans couldn’t eat; then pay for the increased menu. Ice Creams are available from midday, but the bar opens at 10am; the beer is fine the wines is a typical house wine; we do not drink spirits so I can’t comment on these. Matter behind the Bar is a sudoko freak, take him some sudoko books and you will wait for nothing.
Thirdly, the beach bar; this is next to the Children’s play area on the beach; it serves the normal bar fare plus snack lunches, we didn’t use this as we didn’t fancy the menu or facilities.
Lastly, the Egyptian restaurant; found on Baron Boulevard amongst the shops; this was wonderful. Fresh pitta bread, houmas cucumber and yogurt dip plus various other Egyptian salads; great soups. Followed by various BBQ selections brought to your table on a mini BBQ. You will need to book the 24hrs ahead also, however for some reason it does not get booked as quickly. There is the usual all inclusive drinks and the pipes; we don’t smoke so we can’t comment.
The terrace bar is served by the friendliest bunch of lads; there are two duo’s that play salsa and easy listening six nights a week, three each. When the hotel is full it gets very busy.
The Zen disco opens at 10pm and is AI until 11pm,
Animation team, they are very friendly; not in you face pushing you to do things you do not wish. They also run the Kids club which we found great, this mini disco starts at 8-30pm and features Shimpa (photo attached) this was a cuddly chimp character, who dances and entertains; our daughter loved it. The shows were Ok if a little to fire based
Pools and sunbeds, please remember because of the Euro exchange rate Egypt is great value for money and is therefore full. We did get up at 7-30am because we wanted beds around the Kids pool/club; if you want beds by the Bar you will need to do the same; however if you are happy at the other end by the Towel team, you should have no problems. The pools are fantastic and the water is warm enough to bath in come the afternoons.
Beach/snorkelling, the snorkelling is great, although we found Marsa Alam to have more varied fish. There is a natural pool (the resorts name) found just beyond the Conrad hotel, this is worth a visit you will snorkel on your own without the pushy Russians who stay in the Baron Resort next door. This fish in this lagoon are bigger and more plentiful. The beach itself is very clean, child friendly; but we were worried about the sun; serious sun bathers seemed to use it most.
Overall, we found this resort wonderful, do not blame the hotel for overbooking for example hotels4u have 10 rooms block booked but often send as many customers as 60 rooms; where are they supposed to stay? This is the same of the other operators also. Do not blame the hotel for poor flights, late flights etc etc. this hotel far exceeded what we expected, it is not a USA 5 star; however it is definitely a Caribbean, Spanish, Portuguese, Greek etc 5 star. If you are unhappy Ghassan Dhal the hotel General Manager will sort it, you won’t need an introduction as you will see him continually quality checking, he doesn’t miss a trick.
Stomach upsets, we experienced this last year and were given some tips, we used them this year and we had no problems. These are caused in the main from 3 things, too much sun, not enough water and the air con in you room being too high. Firstly, drink mint tea as often as possible, aids digestion and settles the stomach; you will find this in all the restaurants. Drink at least 3 ltrs of water a day, if you get a headache this is probably dehydration, take a dehydration sachet, you find these in supermarkets and chemists in England; they can be taste masked with blackcurrant. If you buy them from the pharmacy in Egypt they will taste foul. Keep your air con as low as possible, it shouldn’t keep kicking in during the night; if it does it’s set too high. If you are in extreme heat all day and then go into a freezing room your body will react unfavourably. Stomach upsets are not the food, the kitchens are independently checked, all food is temperature controlled and we ate in all restaurants and had no problems, when people complained of stomach problems, I suggested the above and they were better within 24hrs and bar none they admitted to being sunburnt and having the air con on full because they were so hot.
Just go and enjoy yourselves

Flights to and from Sharm were not good. First Choice, legroom and service weren't as good as XL, with whom we flew to Sharm last year. Sharm airport was not pleasant and there's one cafe/shop that is a rip-off, it's the one with no prices showing! When we left there was a computer system problem, too few buses to take us from the departure gate and zero information. In fact the flight was displayed as "departed" when no-one had boarded, presumably because the official departure time had come & gone.
We just wanted to relax, just paperbacks and sunbathing. Facilities were pretty good and room was OK. Most staff were friendly, though reception staff were not so hot on customer care. We stayed at the Hilton Waterfalls last year and it was better all round, though slightly more expensive. We used the gym a couple of times, it was small and there's no water, even though there is a water cooler. I asked about this and was told I needed to buy water from the bar (we stayed half board). I woke up early to go for a run along the pathway, it joins up a number of hotels along the seafront - there are the usual guards at the edge of each development but no-one stopped me (unlike last year at the Hilton).
The pool and beach were good. We never had a problem finding sun loungers but I placed our towels on loungers when I went running at about 7.30am. If you get up later than that (and most normal people do on holiday!) it might be better to ask the towel people to reserve a spot - I think they do that. Snorkelling was pretty good from the jetty and the pool was clean and large.
Restaurant food: buffet breakfast was reasonable, cereal was horrible, tea a bit stewed, Russians pushing in but we were expecting that after last year where the same thing happened. Hot food was a bit better and fruit was very good, ripe and fresh. Dinner buffet: we tried it twice and were disappointed both times: bland and everything overcooked. We also ate at the Italian (worth trying, we liked the pizza) and the Indian (very good, we ate there three times).
Overall, we had probably been spoiled by the Hilton Waterfalls last year. The Baron is a nice resort with a few glitches but for an extra £100 we think the Waterfalls is a better choice.

We have had the most wonderful holiday here in Sharmel Sheikh. The hotel is immaculate and beautiful in every part. The staff are the most pleasant and curteous I have ever come across. We were met with consideration and regard at every moment and felt very secure with them at all times. The trips were well organised and guides very well informed and made it very interesting for us. The main restaurant was particularly good and alternated the theme or flavour each night to meet with all tastes. The restaurant Manager went to great lengths to make our visit special and we were assured that our needs were important to them. If you go please say hello from Jean and Andrea to them all, especially Assan Aziz! There are other resaurants - one on the beach which is Indian and not to be missed. Also the health spa was enjoyable - go for the coconut scrub! Only down point is that smokers are allowed in main lounge - I'm allergic you see!

just arrived back had a fantastic time , the hotel we could not fault staff extremely helpful polite, the hotel was clean and the rooms cleaned daily towels changed everyday. the breakfast buffet was excellent catered for every taste beautiful mango juices we ate in all the resturants the indian in particular was very good although not a great menu choice , the egyptian evening is a must brillant whirling durvish. the pool was warm 30c and towel attendant AHMED lovely loads of sunloungers available but if you favour a particular spot for £1 a day ahmed will reserve.We did find the russians very rude but they enterained us with there posing. the grounds are well looked after and a pleasure to walk around . the sea and the fish are beautiful walk out in the sea and pick some seaweed and sit on the jetty feeding the fish the come up beautiful colours. we went on the camel ride it took 40 mins great ride but be careful the tea is free but they charge for the cans and try to sell you a dvd of the ride make sure you view it first before parting with money they cost £20 .The glass bottom boat trip was good the kids enjoyed the speed boat the best.if you have children crisps and biscuits are expensive take some with you . my husband had a tummy upset for two days the waiters made mint tea for him which helped but a trip to the phamacy for tablets worked immediately it did,nt spoil the holiday, the shop in the hotel for gifts were priced and reasonable with no hassle but british papers are £4.50 .we thought the hotel lived up to a 5 star and we will certainly be going back.

We visited this resort, for the first time, 14 January 2008 for one week. We were led to believe by the brochure and media that Sharm enjoys all year round sunshine, this is not the case Jan and Feb are deemed to be their winter. We had three reasonable days but the rest of the time we had rain, desert winds and cloud, it wasn't much warmer than London. The hotel was very nice lacked small things like tea and coffee making facilities in the room. The resort was full of rude, arogant Russians, they have taken over Eygpt. It was very difficult to get a space around the swimming pool by 07.30 towels had already been placed on the sunbeds. The food on the beach was very poor with very little choice. The staff were excellent, polite, friendly and very helpful. It was not pointed out to us that all inclusive does not include all the restaurants, the only places to eat were the Tiran (buffet), the Paradise (outside) and the Egyptian (buffet) the other restaurants carried a supplement charge. Several guests were reported to be suffering from a tummy bug and on our return to the UK, I was taken very ill and had to have two weeks off work with chronic stomach cramps and diaorrera. My doctor said he had seen five cases of this all from Eygpt since Christmas, so it is obviously an ongoing problem which they really need to address. The resort was spotless so I don't really know how people were contracting this bug. I don't think we would go back because of this.
I would rate this hotel/resort 4T's not 5T's

We went to Sharm to grab some winter sun and enjoy a week of total relaxation prior to the Xmas frenzy. We simply wanted a decent hotel, clean, access to a nice beach and a quiet resort as opposed to commercial invasions.
The resort is close to the airport and although the drive to the hotel is not especially scenic, the resort itself is built on a nice bay and has direct access to a sandy and easily accessible beach. In my opinion, the key attractions of this resort are;
1) A great reef for snorkelling, it is ideal for 'safe' swimming.
2) Very good sea views from most rooms - you really do not want an outward facing room as the views are non-existent, although the balconies do get the afternoon sun.
3) The rooms are spacious and well maintained; cleanliness is of a high standard.
This is low build resort with few stairs, good for visitors with poor mobility, and for those travelling with young children. With a choice of restaurants B&B is convenient although we did find that some of the outlets were inconsistent when it came to the quality of the meals. We both had a bout of sickness but this was not unusual since several guests complained of at least one 'off' day.
During the day we were content to soak up the December temperatures of 22-26 degrees, reading several long awaited novels was part of our game plan as well as swimming for long periods of the day. The heat does go out of the sun by mid afternoon (3.00-4.00pm), and by the evening a warmer top may be required by most.
Trips are available but there is little to do in terms of exploring the immediate area. Sharm does not lend itself to walking and self-exploration, other than along the hotel promenades, and sadly, once beyond hotel grounds the scenery is scarred by discarded building materials. Naama Bay is about 30 mins away from the Baron Resort, and the hotel offer a free shuttle bus in the morning but is subject to a charge after midday.
Personally I really dislike Naama Bay; it has been invaded by a casino complex along with the likes of star bucks, KFC, and hundreds of shops selling largely tourist tack. The once extensive beach is now occupied by many hotel beach bars, it is a busy location, hotels are back to back and most are split by a busy main road - Not for me but it does offer the chance of some nightlife which is perhaps missing from the smaller resorts.
Overall our holiday met our objectives and we came back to the UK tanned and rested, ideal for a winter sun break, but not a place I would go to in peak season.

My husband and I spent two weeks at this hotel from 8th to 22nd November and had a wonderful time.
The hotel is extremely clean and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The food was excellent and there was plenty of choice to cater for all nationalities. The staff are all really friendly and helpful and go out of their way to ensure that you have everything you need.
The swimming pools are great one heated and one very very cold. Glorious weather with the temperature in the 30s all the time. The iced face cloths around the pool at midday are very pleasant. The waiter also comes round the pool with a trolley serving drinks at regular intervals, these ones are included in your all inclusive but beware of the waiter with the tray of freshly squeezed fruit juices as they are extra both around the pool and in the restaurant.
Don't be worried by the shopkeepers on the Baron Boulevard as you are walking down to the beach, they are very friendly, and we found that a polite "no thank you" worked very well.
There is a special seafood night on Tuesdays in the poolside restaurant which cost £13 pounds each but it was well worth the money.
This is one hotel we look forward to visiting again soon.

We have just returned after spending 14 days at this resort. 10 out of 10 is really not enough a rating 15 out of 10 at least! I could not fault any aspect of this hotel.
All the staff spoke excellent English and were so very kind. We found the food served in the Tiran Restaurant superb and did not try any of the other locations available to us.
The beach is good with plenty of sun beds, easy access into the water and for the more adventurous the pontoon gives access to deep water for excellent snorkelling.
One small criticism we did have a massage and found this very disappointing, the masseurs did not enquire as to our medical history, both of us have had spinal surgery. What should have been a relaxing experience turned out to be very painful and one we regretted undertaking. The masseurs did not seem interested in providing a good result; the massage was disjointed and brief.
We booked this holiday with Portland Direct, who come under the auspices of Thomson’s who provided our rep, Dee.
This young lady was brilliant, so helpful and knowledgeable of the local area, I cannot sing her praises long or loud enough. Thomson’s please note, do not loose this lady she is an asset.

Visited the Baron Palms for 2 weeks on an all inclusive basis. in our party was myself, husband and 14 yrs old son, We had a fabulous time and I cannot wait to go back (hopefully in November for my birthday).
The staff are the best I have ever known from a hotel, from the restaurant waiters Yasser,Samir,Sammie and also Atef one of the excellent chefs, who always made by pasta sauce spicy for me, When we walked in we were shown to a table straight away and given fresh water and our orders for drinks taken immediately.
As for the pool area fantastic, again excellent staff who where Amir,Ahmed & Arafat who kept the pool area spotless, clean and safe, every morning the placed out the hotel towels out for us after we had placed out own on the sunbeds.
Drinks brought round, cool face cloths and sunglasses cleaned what more could you ask for, we would just like to say a big hello to all the staff and hope to see you again soon,
Also please try to Egyptian restaurant which is also included on the package it was fab and finished of the night smoking the shisha pipes (very nice!).
The poolside restaurant was managed by the lovely wahell who was fluent in various languages, during the day you could get fresh burgers, pizza. Chips etc, on a night time this became and beautiful candlelit area, fantastic.
Not really that much to do on a night time but we were so tired from getting up early, going to the pool & snorkelling at the beach we really didn’t care.
The most relaxing holiday I have ever been on and also got a fab suntan.
Again thanks to all the staff at the baron pals hope to see you all soon
Mandy, John & Daniel.

First time to Egypt and we're already organizing to go back to The Baron Palms! What a fantastic hotel! Beautifully presented, immaculately clean, friendly, relaxing... I could go on. Truly, this resort deserves its 5* rating. Don't hesitate to book because you won't be disappointed!
