Pros: spacious rooms, good animation team, good service, delicious food. Now let's move on to the cons. The hotel is dominated by mosquitoes. They somehow self-generate in the room (just kidding). But with the door and window closed, we killed 37 Mosquitoes. And in the morning a fly appeared out of nowhere.

Pros: spacious rooms, good animation team, good service, delicious food.
Now let's move on to the cons.
The hotel is dominated by mosquitoes. They somehow self-generate in the room (just kidding). But with the door and window closed, we killed 37 Mosquitoes. And in the morning a fly appeared out of nowhere. She woke us up. Vacationers, take a fumigator on vacation!!!
What is very unpleasant is the lack of sun loungers on the beach under umbrellas. We were on vacation with small children and needed some shade under an umbrella. That is, no matter what time you arrive at the beach, the entire first line of sunbeds under umbrellas and the second are occupied. At the same time, the staff is friendly and offers to lie down in the sun.
So, you come to the beach at 7:30, everything is occupied either with things or with towels. It is clear that since the evening. Yeah, we think, since someone is so smart, we’ll do it too! They occupied it in the evening and put some minor things on the sunbeds. When we arrive, someone has removed our things. Someone is lying in these places.
We found things from the guy who hands out towels. Yeah, we think it’s possible. We arrive at the beach in the morning. There are sunbeds under an umbrella with some things. We call the beach workers. I say: we want to lie down in these places, take your things. Answer: We are not allowed to touch things. That is, for some it is possible to touch things (we suspect that for money), but for others it is impossible.
Thus, absolutely every morning turned into irritation because people took the sunbeds in the evening, and there was simply no opportunity to lie down with a child in the shade on the first or second line!
Hotel owners! Pay attention to this point. Let the beach workers simply not allow anyone to occupy the sunbeds in the evening.
Let it be fair - whoever came first gets the sunbed.
Because the thought arises that for money someone can borrow a sunbed under an umbrella, but otherwise, lie around in the sun.
Or add umbrellas. There are enough sunbeds all over the beach.
We consider the holiday partially spoiled, despite the many advantages of the hotel.

Definitely not a 5 star hotel! Well, except by Egyptian standards! All reviews are basically honest, only someone writes on the negative and therefore everything is bad, and someone on the positive and therefore there are minor flaws! Well, of course, the Bendera mentality of those often offended by the "Rusnya" stands out, without which, unfortunately, there is no way)))), Little Russians! The hotel area is clean, but right outside the hotel there are already heaps of garbage! The beach on the left behind the diving center on the border of the hotel's vegetation is a dump! Plantings are looked after, constantly watered and cut.

The hotel area is clean, but right outside the hotel there are already heaps of garbage! The beach on the left behind the diving center on the border of the hotel's vegetation is a dump! Plantings are looked after, constantly watered and cut. The food is varied and tasty, but you need to get used to it. When distributing meat, they give little by little and at first it infuriates, but then you realize that you don’t need more, especially when you count how many calories you ate! )))) If it's not enough, you can take it again! The staff works and tries to please, but it is always difficult to catch a waiter in a restaurant, as there are few of them and they are clearly counting on a tip!
For example, in another hotel, a separate waiter always approached us and took an order for drinks, here it’s quite possible to stay without them if you don’t catch and ask! In the end, we just took dessert and went to the reception bar above the restaurant and drank coffee there. The restaurant is quite noisy, lots of kids and loud talking subjects! (((( The Internet is everywhere, but it often turns off and you need to re-enter! The rooms and furniture are a little tired. There are not enough sunbeds on the beach, but we had our own pool in front of the room, and our sunbeds with an umbrella on the lawn. A big plus of the hotel are three types the beach on the left is deep on the sand, there were waves in the wind, which, however, did not prevent anyone from swimming there! In the center of the beach there was a reef with fish, on the right the lagoon was very shallow and with corrals. In the afternoon there was a low tide and the bottom could be bare. to ride a kite - in the morning, as a rule, it was a good blow.
There is also a diving center in the hotel (a shed on the left and a windsurf club there. One Arab, his name is Mukhamed, is engaged in windsurfing there. The rest mostly drink coffee, tea and sometimes try to trick you into diving! )))) Mukhamed is a sympathetic, sociable and kind guy. As a rule, at 7 in the morning, if there is wind, he is already on the beach teaching tourists how to windsurf! He always helped me with the kite. There is also a girl translator at the reception, Ekaterina, who is also a very responsive and diligent girl. Always ready to help with any questions! Of the advantages of the hotel, I would add the ability to run and walk along the sea along all the coastline hotels - there is a single walking path - exit the beach to the left, you can ignore all local guards in all hotels. You go 7 kilometers to the hotels, we open the gates if they are closed, we do not touch the half-asleep security guards with our hands! In principle, I even went out on a kite even into the neighboring lagoon between the pontoons.
It was a lot of fun for me to run a guard of an empty beach and bitterly shouted that it was impossible and private property! Although in principle, by law, you can use the sea and the beach everywhere! He was hurt and sad that he could not go into the water! ))) Well, now about the sad - unfortunately Egypt is always like this - everything seems to be good, but in the end they manage to spoil everything! They themselves are bargaining, naming the initially incredibly high price, then they are offended when they are overtraded! We left the hotel at 4 in the morning at the reception bar and asked for coffee, the bartender said that he did not work and the coffee was paid! Then waddle slowly all the same gave out a cup of coffee! They took the same thing with the luggage from the room, but load it on the bus yourself, the bus driver with a clearly dissatisfied face - they forced him to work in the morning! )))) Well, this is Egypt, and so here in everything! The airport is a separate issue!

Chosen through the "without Russian" filter. The travel agent also confirmed this. In fact, the feeling is as if I have arrived in Sochi - the kirkorov, chicherina sounds, you meet vacationers in clothes with the symbol of rashka...trigger The hotel is a little shabby, but the norm, food, service is also ok.

The hotel is a little shabby, but the norm, food, service is also ok. For $10/day you can get a sea view, for $20 - a taxi to the old town.
Cool nature. For children, a sandy beach in the sea, a warm pool, a small reef, but enough for underwater research, the animation is chatty.
Upon returning, the tour operator said that there are no tours in the hotel without a Russian (or with min kil-tyu). You need to consider whether you are ready for the Bashkortostans and other peoples nearby on the beach

For the third time in the hotel, I will immediately note that this time the hotel did not disappoint. Settlement passed quickly, not without a symbolic surcharge, but the number was chosen by yourself. Everything worked in the room, daily cleaning, sometimes with swans from towels. Cosmetics, water, napkins - updated every day.

For the third time in the hotel, I will immediately note that this time the hotel did not disappoint.
Settlement passed quickly, not without a symbolic surcharge, but the number was chosen by yourself. Everything worked in the room, daily cleaning, sometimes with swans from towels. Cosmetics, water, napkins - updated every day.
The food is top notch as always. Breakfast - standard for Egypt - omelettes, pancakes, croissants, milk porridge, puddings, various cheeses and cottage cheese. Lunch - two types of soup, beef, chicken, fried fish, seafood. For dinner - pasta, baked whole turkey, or beef, or tuna, side dishes - a variety. Large selection of cold appetizers, vegetables and fruits. I will especially note pastries, both European and Arabic - even men were happy to pick them up. The waiters are attentive, serve quickly, at your request they will bring drinks, both alcoholic (local production) and various juices.
The territory is still green, clean and well-groomed, for which it is necessary to note the tireless workers who cut, weed and water all this beauty all the time.
The special value of the hotel is the beach. There are enough sunbeds, protective screens from the wind too. Nice beach bar with the best coffee in the hotel. Beechboy always helped with the screens, moved the sun loungers at our request. By the way, this time I paid attention to the accurate work of the rescuers - people swam even with a red flag, and they were constantly at the water's edge, especially close to mothers with children.
The animation is excellent, on the beach, vacationers were constantly occupied with various activities and competitions. In the evening, the pianist plays and sings in the lobby at the reception.
Wi-FI in the hotel is good, both in the rooms and on the beach, so you don't have to buy a local card.
The contingent in the hotel is very different - the British, Italians, Germans, Poles, Balts, Ukrainians, many Egyptians and Arabs.
In general, the rest was excellent, for which thanks to all the employees - Ole's gestrelation, managers of the SPA salon, waiters. Even despite the repair in two buildings, we did not experience any discomfort, just as we did not hear construction noise.
Will we come again? Everything can be ...here we already feel at home

I hoped that the reviews, especially the negative ones, sinned with high expectations and requirements, and the assurances of Hotel Management about the elimination of comments were honest and truthful. I saw that the reviews of the guests turned out to be more believable.
Barcelo Tiran does not fit the format of a 5-star hotel. Alas, it's true.
We stayed in room 1209. The furniture and fixtures are very old and not only look untidy - dirty balcony panels, loose fittings and a half-clogged rain net in the shower (you can continue to list more and more), but some items have dangerous defects that have caused skin injury our hands - chips on the tiles, rust on the balcony handrail, broken plastic weaving on the chair ...And the iron, which was not in the room and was brought at our request, simply shocked us!
The lower part of this household appliance dangled from the wires...But they brought it to us, held it in their hands and did not see that it was dangerous to use such a thing? ! See the photo if you don't believe this is real. The story with the iron had a continuation. The second iron left in our room was not working. Okay, it happens. They asked to be replaced. The third iron again did not please - the light signaled the inclusion, but there was no heating. And only the fourth iron allowed us to bring the clothes into proper shape.
If you know how to fall asleep to the noise of passing vehicles and the continuous hum (we decided that this noise comes from the ventilation system, but something else might be buzzing) is not a hindrance to you, then you will be pleased with the rooms in the first building. For us it turned out to be very unpleasant - 14 nights without sleep. There is absolutely no soundproofing in the room, and at night, as you know, the perception of noise is even more enhanced.
The air conditioner is not only very noisy, it also practically does not cool the air, but I wanted to be cool in the room. Not fate, they went out to the site and looked for shady places.
We were not given any schemes-plans of the hotel site upon check-in, sort it out yourself as best you can. They issued the concept of the hotel for guests fA4, but there was not enough paint in the photocopier for the entire text, so we guessed from individual letters that we were talking about the best traditions of Egyptian hospitality. In fact - disrespect for their guests. The instructions for using the safe are also printed very poorly, with barely readable text, and even outdated - the model of the safe in the room does not match the description in the instructions, and only the employee called for help will show you how to handle the safe.
For the first time in 6 visits to the resort, we watched the hotel staff on the beach "book" sunbeds, covering them with towels, and then offer guests for a fee. Usually ill-mannered tourists take towels or personal belongings, and employees take measures to prevent this from happening. In Barcelo, judging by previous reviews and personal observations, this is the norm.
A playground is definitely not a place for children to relax, but a place that children need to avoid. Honestly, I don’t understand how it is possible to allow the use of equipment for children if there are protruding nails, screws, rotten fencing elements, long-peeling paint, handrails with chipped wood ...There is no excuse for this.
These and other disappointments at the Barcelo are all the more annoying as the hotel has so much good to offer. The most valuable thing is people.
Many with whom we communicated from the staff were pleasant and correct in communication, conscientious employees in their work. Our room was put in order by Ahmed - he always washed and cleaned with high quality, he was always interested in whether everything was enough, he always responded to requests. In the La Brisa restaurant, we were served by the waiter Rabia - he immediately remembered our preferences, worked quickly, and not only in serving us, but also other guests, he is good at communicating with both adults and children. Food at the hotel, basically, I liked it, some dishes very, very much. We especially liked sweets, we have not seen such delicious pastries either in Nubian, or in Iberotel, or in Albatros. Focaccia, kunafa, basbousa, sambusek, tahina, coconut milk - we got to know this for the first time, thanks to the Barcelo chefs. Seafood on the menu is constantly in different cooking options. Fresh vegetables of good quality, there are pickled ones, as well as sauces, seasonings, oils - for every taste.
On the issuance of a cook, they never refuse an additive. If something runs out, they quickly bring new portions of dishes. The portions are small, but the tables always look neat, as if they had just been served. Chefs prepare a few blanks in advance so that the very first visitors do not have to wait until they are ready - come by 7 in the morning and everything is ready, except that scrambled eggs are made to order, taking into account the wishes of the guests. On the beach at Barracuda, they cook the most delicious french fries, good and fresh buns with chicken shawarma. In bars, cocktails are prepared beautifully, tasty, and varied, and there has never been a refusal due to the lack of components. In the evenings, during the entertainment on the beach, the El Bonito bar served guests. All in all, Barcelo's restaurants and bars are the strength of the hotel.
WiFi in Barcelo allows you to communicate with the Motherland even from the room, even from the beach, even in the morning, even in the afternoon, even in the evening - the signal level and speed are quite good.

The most beautiful thing in Barcelo is the beach, a soft entrance to the sea along the sand, when the tide is out, you can safely swim to the second buoys. There is a small reef nearby, fish swim to the very shore every day, you can go snorkeling, the beauty of the Red Sea is incredible. During our stay, the hotel was undergoing renovations, which, of course, did not please us, but it did not really interfere either.

There is a small reef nearby, fish swim to the very shore every day, you can go snorkeling, the beauty of the Red Sea is incredible. During our stay, the hotel was undergoing renovations, which, of course, did not please us, but it did not really interfere either. The room was immediately given a good one without any surcharges. Cleaned daily, for a tip they always brought additional water, tea, coffee, cream, in large quantities. Wi-Fi is not bad, we caught it best in the room and on the beach. The territory is small, well-groomed, palm trees, flowers, lawn and citrus trees, if you need instagram locations, then this is not here. The food in the restaurant is delicious, the dinners are varied, I really liked the veal, for which many thanks to the chefs. Pies with fruit and nuts became a love for the rest of the holiday. Alcohol is tolerable, everyone drank with ice, there were no problems.
The entertainment program was standard, almost like in all hotels. Sunbeds on the beach are taken very early and throw things for the whole day, but you can always find free ones from far away. The pools are clean, it’s nice to swim, but in some places the coating along the bottom has peeled off when you get up, you cling to it all the time. A small but cozy gym, during the day there were surprisingly many people working out. I liked burgers and fries at the beach bar, there was a queue for fast food from time to time. From what I categorically did not like: all drinks in the restaurant can be ordered only through the waiter, it is inconvenient, long, it is not clear why everything is so complicated at all. If you give a dollar every day, they will serve you quickly, they will always find a free table and chilled drinks. From hot dishes, everything is given out behind glass, they are served in small portions, if you ask, they add it without problems, the minus is that you cannot choose the piece you like.
In general, the staff is friendly, but most, to put it mildly, are rude, especially the bartenders, you need to be prepared for this. At a bar without a tip, you can't wait for a good relationship. Alcohol is poured into small plastic cups, including beer, despite the fact that you repeat several times that you will drink here, not with you. There are shops on the territory of the hotel, but we went to the nearest market, when leaving the hotel, to the left and on foot 800 meters. Also, minibuses constantly go from the hotel, they always want to give a lift, they honk, if they wish, they will stop anywhere. We had an early departure, without prior arrangements we were given breakfast in lunch boxes with us. In general, the hotel is quite good, the beach with its wonderful entrance and unique sunsets conquers and because of it you want to come back here more than once.

Alcohol is poured into small plastic cups, including beer, despite the fact that you repeat several times that you will drink here, not with you. There are shops on the territory of the hotel, but we went to the nearest market, when leaving the hotel, to the left and on foot 800 meters. Also, minibuses constantly go from the hotel, they always want to give a lift, they honk, if they wish, they will stop anywhere. We had an early departure, without prior arrangements we were given breakfast in lunch boxes with us. In general, the hotel is quite good, the beach with its wonderful entrance and unique sunsets conquers and because of it you want to come back here more than once.

We chose this hotel because it is a chain of hotels that made us very happy, especially in the Dominican Republic (it is clear that we understood that this was Egypt). The settlement forgot that the settlement was paid earlier (the whole day), I had to remind everything. We took a room with a pool so that there was silence, there were 6 adults and 8 children nearby in the next room (I turned to the reception and they said this name was leaving tomorrow.

You need to somehow appreciate someone else's rest and rooms so that they are not a hostel. Towels on the beach are worse than a doormat ( only the Arabs are given good towels and sunbeds are occupied for them. I would like to see the inspection here that checks the hotels in Egypt. The air conditioner barely works. On the comments on the towels the next day they gave out even worse. The beach is dirty all in cigarette butts, garbage (they pretend to be cleaned) alone Arabs throw everything in the pool and on the beach and in front of the rooms, others pretend to clean it. Everything just asks everything is fine??? Aren't you visible and not ashamed?? ?

This was the first trip to Egypt. The ticket was taken in the Tez-tour. We were looking for a hotel with direct access to the sea (without walking on a pontoon) and found Barcelo Tiran Sharm. The hotel stands near the airport, on the northern outskirts of Sharm El Sheikh. We arrived at the beginning of the 12th and after 20 minutes settled in the room.

We arrived at the beginning of the 12th and after 20 minutes settled in the room. The room number is needed to access Wi-fi - you must enter the room number and last name in English. The room was cleaned daily and towels changed (tip was left).
The sea is gorgeous. You come in, put on a mask and your reef is yours (diving services are also available). Maybe someone does not like the constant wind, which helps a lot to endure hot weather.
There is a spa in the hotel, I went there for a back massage - I recommend)))).
The animation is varied: during the day - sports games, yoga, exercises, in the evening - competitions, oriental dances. In general, not boring.
For mango hunters - opposite the entrance to the hotel there are shops where you can buy this fruit (I personally bought 6 kg).
For those who want to hang out in the city center: there are taxis near the hotel and minibuses stop on the opposite side of the street (you will get there for 1 dollar).
The hotel is very family friendly.
Like the Bro from the spa used to say: "See you in 6 months" ; ) ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) )))

We opted for this hotel based on reviews including here. We arrived in the morning, we were at the hotel at about 9. We left the documents at the reception and went to have breakfast. We walked a little more around the territory, visited a bar on the beach and after 11 we were settled. Room 2302 turned out to be quite pleasant, everything suited us.

We walked a little more around the territory, visited a bar on the beach and after 11 we were settled. Room 2302 turned out to be quite pleasant, everything suited us. The window overlooked the mountains and a piece of the sea. Also the amphitheater. Replenishment of the mini-bar with drinks for an additional fee, a strange moment, it's like 5 *.
The territory of the hotel is compact, well-groomed, you don't have to go far. The beach is of rather coarse sand, huge, but the place reserved for swimming is relatively small. Several types of fish swam right next to us. There is a diving center on the beach, we dived to see the hotel reef, it costs $ 25 per person. In general, it’s interesting, there wasn’t an abundance of fish, but I saw zebras, lionfish, and so different fish, the water seemed cloudy.
We took 2 excursions from the hotel guide. First buggy ride in the desert. Did not impress. I liked the same excursion in Hurghada much more. And the second excursion is a sea trip with diving + White Island. The name White Island is too loud, it is rather a small white sandy spit, to which you still have to swim from the ship on your own. So bring waterproof phone cases with you if you want a photo. We were not warned about such subtleties, so we were left without photos))). People on this spit are apparently invisible))) But the place is valid, we liked it.
The food at the hotel is generally good. Breakfast is typical and monotonous. Fruits: watermelons, unsweetened melons, plums and nectarines more or less. Seafood was every day, delicious, stewed squid, grilled and battered fish, there were even some mussels in shells, but there is nothing special there. The queues at the distribution were a bit annoying.
In general, the restaurant and reception look tired. The furniture is old-fashioned, the floors are scratched, everything is somehow dim and there is little light. Pieces of paint peeled off the walls were observed between the buildings. The hotel has an outstanding shape, I liked it, but again, unfortunately, the building lacks brightness and freshness. I looked at the hotel from the beach and thought how amazing it would be if it were white and the windows of the loggias were blue.
The hotel is located on the outskirts, there are no shops like a normal European supermarket in the pedestrian access zone, it is full of typical shops with souvenirs and the like.
Let me sum it up. We liked the rest, I will gladly come to Egypt again, but to another hotel.

Barcelo Tiran is a HOTEL PARADISE for children or adults who can't swim, as the smallest species of fish can be seen even without a mask just standing in the water! Also in the hotel for children there is always milk porridge, different types of soups, there was even borscht, so you will have something to feed a small child, although there were soups and slightly peppery ones ((but in general there are different types of pasta, every day, rice, potatoes are different , lasagna, different types of meat and a lot of variety of sweets will be served to you! Still very tasty pizzas and something similar were served! Even sushi was, and of course, every day sea food, including tuna, baked big turkey and lamb.

Still very tasty pizzas and something similar were served! Even sushi was, and of course, every day sea food, including tuna, baked big turkey and lamb. .. and we all ate this in a week))) The pancakes are delicious and there are a lot of sauces (fruit, chocolate, nutella). Any omelet to your taste!
Your child will be full!
ANIMATION is also interesting, there were different performances of dancers, a foam disco, a fire show, natives went, art parties, clowns, so there is a variety for both children and adults!
For adults, a variety of food and drink! ! !
I was pleased with the alcohol, in Barcelo gin, whiskey and wine, which is of very decent quality and you can really drink it, although earlier in Egypt there was poor quality alcohol, and here it’s even very good!
They also make good coffee at the bar, although you can drink it tolerably in the restaurant!
Ice cream from 15:00 to 16:00, like ice cream, you can eat it, children like it))
Water 0.5 l is given everywhere with you, no need to ask for a pour and run to the bar for water.
In general, food is very good!
The rooms are large, well maintained, although a little worn out, but the overall impression is good! The room has a kettle (coffee + tea + brown and regular sugar), iron, ironing board! I didn’t have to beg for anything for water and the rest was served on time, cleaning was 5 *
This is not the first time in Egypt, but our family was satisfied with the rest in Barcelo Tiran Sharm 5 *!
Cons can be found always and everywhere, but THERE IS MORE PROS!
Thanks to the hotel management and staff for a comfortable stay!
