We had a lovely stay at the Hilton Fayrouz at the end of April. We booked on the Hilton website and took advantage of the "stay 6 nights get a 7th free" offer. from Hilton for stays in Egypt (There was a bit of confusion and mis-advice from Hilton customer services as I kept being quoted online for 7 x the nightly rate, not 6 - it turns out the nightly rate already included the discount - but Hilton kindly upgraded my Hilton Honors to silver for my efforts!)
We emailed the hotel before arriving and had a driver waiting for us at the airport (£12). Check-in was as described by others, with refreshing drinks and cold towels. We had a Queen plus room next to the main pool. We were a little disappointed as the area was quite stark and not as nice as in the garden area, but this is where these rooms are, and it was more than comfortable and convenient for an early swim. The room was fine - a bit dated but clean, with the added touch of the famed bed decorations!
Throughout our stay, the service was impeccable - every single member of staff was friendly and attentive. When we mentioned a problem we'd had with a couple of concession-holders at the hotel, a senior manager overheard and insisted on personally accompanying me to sort things out. We were allowed to stay in our room till 3 on the day of departure.
The grounds are absolutely beautiful, full of well-tended lawns and flowers. The beach area is huge and again clean and well-tended. Shades are nicely spaced, but because the beach is also used by the sister Hilton Waterfalls, the shades all get reserved by about 8:30 - generous tips didn't seem to give us any advantage there. But once there the beach is beautiful and the swimming and snorkelling an absolute delight. Fish of every size and colour swimming round you. We did go on a boat trip to Tiran, but to be honest, the fish near the hotel were just as good, if not better.
We ate at the beach pizza / grill - fab pizzas for a fiver, Pirate's Bar - good pub grub and cheap beer, beach bar - great snacks, and the main buffet restaurant - plenty of choice, although unexciting. Breakfasts were wonderful. There are loads of restaurants within a short walk along the promenade with a great choice of eating styles.
Overall we had a lovely time at the Hilton Fayrouz, which lived up to all the other reviews on here, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
