We keep going back to the Baron because we have never been disappointed. The hotel is kept immaculately clean, the rooms are spacious, comfortable, quiet and have a magnificent view (at least the one looking East). We found both management and service staff courteous and always willing to help. We do not use the swimming pool and, therefore, do not have much to say about it but the beach is one of the best in that stretch of the Sinai coast: it is long, clean and not overcrowded. Access to the sea and reef is easy; the water is clean and if you prepared to swim 10 yards or so away from the jetty, one can spend hours snorkeling without having to fight one's way trough a sea of fins and elbows.
Over the year the clientele of the Baron has changed but I do not feel it is reasonable to haul over the coals the staff for the questionable manners of some of the guests.
We have recommended the Baron to our friends and colleagues and we hope to go back this year.

Went with an Arab tour group during Eid holiday. The hotel was beautiful, the rooms were clean and nicely decorated, and every member of the staff was helpful and friendly. Nice beach, not too crowded, plenty of amenities, dive instructors, snorkel rental, nice pools as well, but the snorkling at the hotel's beach was beautiful so I didn't bother with the pools. Getting a shuttle ride into Sharm (the resort was a little outside of town) was easy, and we simply took a cheap cab ride back in the evening which was easier than worrying about making a shuttle. The hotel also set us up with a tour to a Monastery a few hours way near Moses mountain which was interesting, a nice way to see more of Sinai. Staff also made good suggestions for nightlife and places to see, both in Sharm itself, as well as in the surrounding area. Nice running path along the Sea, partially in construction areas during my visit, but was nice. Restaurant was excellent. Highly recommend Baron's and Sharm el Sheikh.

We booked to stay at the Baron Palms next door, as did every other English couple we spoke to, but we were glad to get moved to the Baron Resort in the end.

We've been to Sharm before so we knew what to expect with regards to food and nightlife etc. The food here was good, we are both vegetarians and we had plenty of choice everyday. They always had rice, potatos, veg, pastas, salads, soups as well as all the meat and fish options. We booked the Italian for about 5 of the 11 nights we stayed and found the food excellent and Omar the waiter made us feel welcome and couldn't do enough for us. One thing to mention is that if you are all inclusive you must make a reservation for the Italian or you will have to pay. You can start to book at 9pm the evening before but you must be quick as they limit the numbers of AI guests and it was often fully booked by 9.10pm. We couldn't book it one night but when we told Omar we weren't able to make a reservation he had a word with his manager and got us in that night.

I must also mention that gents have to wear long trousers to evening meals or they will not let you in while it seems women can go in still wearing the bikini they have had on around the pool all day. I don't normally wear long trousers on holidays and only had one pair of jeans that served me well!

The nightlife is quite poor really, we didn't go to Naama Bay as we didn't like getting pestered by shop owners so we just stayed around the hotel. We expected it would be quiet so we were not suprised but we did have a few lovely nights in the lobby bar and one night at the beach bar watching the moon come over the horizon but generally it is very quiet.

Many people have mentioned that they couldn't get a sun bed around the pool but we had no problem. I got up at 7.20 every morning to get the beds and only 10% of beds were taken at that time and about 5% of those on the beach were taken. If you are going to stroll down at 10.30 and exepect to get 4 beds you will struggle but I didn't find this hotel any different to every other hotel in every other country I have been to with regards to sun beds.

You do not get bottles of water at the bars for free which we didn't like as it was very hot but at lunch and dinner you can get 2 or 3 big bottles no problems.

The main thing we enjoyed was the sea. The fish are amazing and we saw dolphins near the coast one day. It's mind blowing to see and we used to go out 2 or 3 times a day.

Neither me nor my girlfriend fell ill but we used common sense when eating and drinking things and also eat no meat which is probably where a lot of the problems come from.

All the staff were very helpful right from the reception to the gardners but watch out for them Russians, you'll recognize them because the man will be in speedos, the wife will look 13 and the kids will have mullets. They are so rude to everyone and are hated amongst all the waiters and staff.

If you want a bustling night life then this isn't for you but if it's sun, sea and relaxation you want then we recommend this hotel.

We booked with on the beach holidays (Do not book with them).
We should have been staying at the palms, but they said they were fully booked and moved us to Baron Resort. We were supposed to be in a delux room, there was nothing delux about it. Room 237 it was noisy 24-7 because of the staff having a room next door which they used to do washing up etc. The staff were very good and the hotel was clean, that is the only plus about this hotel 5* I think not! All inclusive, is not all inclusive. You can only drink a certain bars at certain times, and eat in certain restaurants at certain times. I have been to many all inclusives where you can eat and drink all day in any part of the hotel, this hotel however is different.
Entertainment- What entertainment? Its so bad that mosts nights it has about 5 people watching, and its in the palms.
Food - Do not eat a this hotel, me and my partner were sick for most of the holiday, what food we did eat was terrible. Dont go with children as they will starve! We had a few meals at the italian which was a lot better than the others. Until the last night when were tucking into our pasta and my partner found an alive cockroach in his. Of course they were "very sorry" and it had never happened before, they sent us a fruit basket which really didnt make up for the fact he had eaten half his meal and then found it! They gave us free late check out and said sorry. Not good enough!
This hotel certainly isnt 5* and if your wise you will not book your holiday here!
