We had a wonderfully relaxing 3-day stay at Hilton Sharm Fayrouz in late March. The grounds are overflowing with beautiful flowers. This was especially nice to soak in while sipping a cool drink on our room's private patio.

We had great service at HSF from arrival to departure, including a complimentary late checkout.

We stayed on B&B basis. The buffet breakfast is one of the best I've ever had. The variety and quality of the food and beverages is outstanding. You must try the strawberry juice!

We ate at the pool bar for lunch and also ate at the Cleo water park . If you have children, or if you just enjoy water parks, check out the Cleo. It is across the street and up the hill from the hotel and is free to all HSF guests. There is almost constant planned entertainment at the waterpark in addition to the numerous rides and wave pool. Be aware....you are not allowed to bring any food or beverages into the water park. That includes water. You can buy plenty inside the water park.

As you go up the hill to the park, you will pass a small store on the left. This in an excellent and cheap place to buy beverages, snacks, etc.

We had a delicious dinner at the Italian buffet at the hotel. Children can eat free or at least 2 for 1.

One caution...there are no REAL ocean front rooms. That means the rooms are not right on the ocean or face the water. The rooms closest to the beach are called ocean front. There is a boardwalk, dining, and wide sandy beach with chairs and umbrella stands between your room and the beach.

We used Sun & Fun for a snorkeling excursion to Ras Mohammed and found them to be excellent. Be advised...if you buy the DVD of the excursion, it will only work on DVD players in certain regions. We are OOL.

Our room was very clean, well stocked, quiet and comfortable. Our bath was plenty large and equipped with hair dryer and more toiletries than normal.

I would gladly return to the HSF if ever I made it back to Sharm and would recommend the HSF without reservation.

When we arrived our room at the Fayrouz it was dark and the initial signs were not good, the little bungalows are getting quite tired now and in particular the bathrooms are overdue a refurb and the aircon was the old noisy type, 5* I thought? You are kidding! Not withstanding this, the room was clean and had all the amenities one might need. In the morning however you can start to appreciate the wonderful location that this hotel affords, we had paid extra for a beachside room and I would recommend this as if you are over the other side the constant beeping of the Egyptians car horns might become annoying.The lush gardens are beutifully tended and the beach is well guarded and immaculate. But what sets this hotel apart is the ever attentive service of the hotel staff, nothing is ever too much trouble and everyone from the manager to the gardener smiles and says hello in perfect English everytime they see you. The food was of exceptional quality every night and they offered a good variety with a different 'theme' every night. Some warned of 'not eating the salad or rice or having ice in your drinks' but I can honestly say this was not an issue in the hotel, the only obvious point is not to drink the tap water. if you do need bottled water however nip round the corner to the little supermarket where it is 25p a bottle rather than the £1.60 the hotle choses to charge! The weather was in the mid 30's every day and we did not see a single cloud for the whole week, if you need a relaxing break with guarenteed sunshine I can heartly recommend the Fayrouz - we will be back.

I was really impressed with this hotel and literally did not want to come home.

Firstly the location is spot on, it is a short walk from naama bay centre with its own lovely private beach and excursion centre (sun and fun - the guys are brilliant and very trustworthy) we did not have a problem with noise at all during our stay.

The rooms are good to very clean and comfortable. The bathrooms could do with updating and are a bit on the small side but this did not cause us a problem. The mini bar is well stocked and very cheap.

The gardens are gorgeous, you can tell they are very well looked after and all the rooms look out onto gardens, pool or beach.

We were on a B&B basis so did not eat at night but when I go back I will definetly go half board as we did have quite a few problems with the restraunts we ate out at, the food itself was fine but we found all the taxes confusing as most of them added 10% service charge then another 10% sales tax, but it varied at each venue.

We didn't have any problems getting a sunbed by the pools but if you want one on the beach at the front you either need to be there when the beach opens at 7am or tip the beach boys on the first day and they will reserve one as I discovered when I raced down on the 2nd day at 7.30am. We couldn't understand why they never offered to carry our towels to the beds when almost everyone else had them taken and then we were told you have to tip them before they even offer to take towels.

The only major problem we had was on the first night when we discovered our room was infested with ants, after several calls to reception we were promised someone would come to check the room, I thought we would then be moved but instead two men turned up in orange boiler suits and tanks to spray our room which wasn't pleasant as it was a VERY strong smell and my friend has asthma. We then had to sit outside for half an hour until someone else turned up to clean the room, the whole process took around two hours. Had I realised how long it was all going to take I would of insisted on changing rooms so If this happends to anyone else I would just asked to be moved straight away rather than hang around.

Overall I loved this hotel, the location is perfect and all the staff are very friendly especially the guys on the beach. I will definetly go back to this hotel !!!

One more thing there is a waterpark across the road called cleo park and hilton guests have free entrance.

I have just got back from staying at the Hilton Fayrouz with my 14 year old daughter and what a good time we have had!

The hotel, as so many of you have mentioned is in a super position, so close to the action yet so quiet in the gardens that souround the rooms. The beach is fantastic and even though the hotel was full last week you could still find a bed on the beach what ever time you turned up. I think it would be nicer if one of the swimming pools was adult only as the small children do rather dominate!!!

Yes the rooms are a little dated, but a really good size, air con that works well, and are well cleaned every day, and we loved our little terrace where you could sit and have a drink in the evening looking out inro the super gardens.

We booked a day boat trip with lunch and 3 stops to snorkle from 9 till 4.30 with sun and fun for only £17.50 each, I think that is really good value for money. The guys at sun and fun are great and we were really well taken care of.

All in all a really good holiday and I can't wait to go back!
