We rested in the Baron Resort with my wife for 12 nights: from 31.10. 2019 to 12.11. 2019. I chose between Baron Palms and Baron Resort, as I was flying with my wife alone, without children. Palms confused by a more remote location relative to the sea, judging by the map. It seemed to be the second line. In fact, no. They settled us in the Resort even further from the sea than it would be in Palms. But, passing to the sea from Palms, every time you will pass an alley of obsessive, obsessive Egyptian merchants ...you yourself understand that there is little pleasant here when 20-30 Arabs in turn shout all sorts of game after you. I saw this even before paying for the hotel and the choice fell unambiguously on the Resort.

Let me tell you, the hotel is worth it. In Egypt, I was, however, for the first time, but I liked it. Settled on the very outskirts. They have not yet shown how to go to the restaurant and to the sea in a closer way. Every day I had to stomp 600 meters to the sea. Although there was a path 200 meters closer. Well, it's like that ...For that, the room is very quiet, there were almost no neighbors nearby. Except 07.

20 am… every morning a brave team of floor cleaners splashed water on the floor and banged mops on the floor monotonously so tsok-tsok, tsok-tsok that he was about to come out and beat them. As a result, every morning at 07.20 half-up: you lie down, suffer for 20-30 minutes, try to sleep ...then the floors become visibly clean outside the door, and at 08.00 in the morning you can continue sleeping. Who is not going to wake up before 9-11 am, I advise you to immediately choose another hotel.

The cleaners won't let you sleep. The appeal to our guide caused him surprise, with a businesslike look he went to explain the problem to the reception ...all to no avail: in the morning we count 60-70 blows of the mop on the floor. Plus, they poured water on the door. Sounds like a car wash if you stay in the car? if you sleep, you may dream of a tsunami hitting the shore. Well, if an Arab family with 4-5 children is also settled on your floor, then consider that you will not be able to sleep in the morning. We had such, but lived 2 days in total. That's not an educated people.
They used to get up early in their Egypt, because the sun rises at 5 in the morning. And sits down at 16:00 ...in a hurry to live? These guys open doors and are not shy to chat with their wives at the top of their voices, as if they were alone.

I don’t know, there was a desire, of course, to go out and punch these blacks in the face a couple of times ...but they are with children, somehow it’s a pity with children ...They still don’t know English, and how the police work there: they will accept you, their own leave? Floor cleaners are really not much different from them: at 7 in the morning, a prayer is sung on the phone. I didn’t look out the door, maybe they are praying there even at your door. All the same, all this cannot be compared to washing floors with mops-reptiles.

Otherwise, there are no comments on the number. The air conditioners worked great. Of course, there are no mosquito nets, without a stock of sprays from mosquitoes and flies (especially on the FLY beach !! ) it is better not to meddle in Egypt. Especially the flies on the beach! They drove them to madness, they devoured them.
Be sure to take a fumigator. There will be 4-5 mosquitoes in the room, but it is not realistic to kill them, they will wake you up all night. They fly fast and are invisible to the eye. Accustomed to dodging applause in general.


The choice fell on this hotel after I saw in someone's video review on youtube that they serve red fish every morning in this hotel. It's true, real, every morning. The only bad thing is that this fish is not lightly salted, but smoked. I would not have determined this, but my wife (nutritionist) immediately warned against her.

I was very embarrassed by the lack of anything to drink for lunch and dinner in the main restaurant. Except water. Yes, yes, if you need coffee, tea, beer, wine, juice, gin and tonic - call the waiter. And only so. As it will not be in Turkey, they will not offer to take it from the shelf. Alas, it was very annoying. This is what the economy looks like. Although I would have had enough samovars with boiling water. Do you want tea, do you want coffee?
Each time, call the boy and wait 10 minutes until he brings ...Well, not Turkey in short. And it’s not clear that this problem doesn’t exist for breakfast: there are 6-7 varieties of fresh juices and those same samovars with boiling water to choose from.

Why is there not at least tea and coffee in full access at lunchtime and in the evening? Well… such. In Turkey, in the top five - in refrigerators there are packaged juice and bottles of wine, not to mention espresso machines and other crap. Apparently this is due to the fact that 100% of hotel guests have breakfast included in the price, and not everyone has lunch and dinner. So they give it their all for breakfast. But maybe not, I observed the same number of people in the morning, afternoon and evening.

There is no instant coffee in bags here. They gave at least Jacobs ...True, they can bring in a teapot and tastier, brewed. But it's still water, not coffee.
They don't know what an espresso is, a double espresso, how it all differs from an Americano...There is a fridge with ice cream for lunch and in the evening. They put balls ...nice. The rest of the food - the most pleasant experience. Even better than in Turkey at first it seemed. For the first 4-5 days, it even seemed to me that Turkey is a parody of Egypt. It's tastier and better here. On the sixth day, you begin to understand that it’s still not quite right.


There are no paper napkins in restaurants. Instead, there are starched flesh-colored napkins on the tables ...apparently they have such a culture. But somehow my upbringing did not allow me to wipe my hands completely stained with shrimp on them. I advise everyone who flies here to take 15-20 packs of paper napkins from home and carry them with them to a restaurant. We really did that. When you leave the restaurant - the toilet is not close and not on the way, you will not wash your hands there.
Some of the waiters in the restaurant are trying to joke: they take away the food that has not yet been eaten. Indulge them less in this, let's flicker, send to hell? this is not our humor in general. They always wait for a tip, probably, at first they try to fill you up as friends. In other matters, only Italians give them a tip. They know this and their attitude towards all Russian speakers is appropriate.

Just a great lobby bar. Since it is not the Egyptians who work there, but the Thais. Very nice helpful ladies. This is where you happily part with a small dollar. Mojito and Baileys - not included in the ultra-all-inclusive, they are paid. So if someone is coming here for this, then figs there.

Towels at the pool are given out in 4 cases out of 5 - dirty. And maybe even in all cases ...They are all on the raid, look carefully. If you are traveling with small children, it is better to take beach towels for them. If you are going to wipe yourself after the sea with them ...I would not become shorter))) I dried in the sun.
They do not have time to wash them all. In Turkey, this is much smarter - they accept towels until 16.00 or 18.00. In short, while the people are still on the beach. I didn’t have time to hand over the towel - sushi on my balcony in the room and change it in the morning. Clever. Unloads them washing machines. It infuriated me greatly in Turkey, but it turns out: it’s impossible otherwise, washing won’t work out. The Egyptians hadn't thought of this yet.


Drinks at the pool bar and on the beach ...Cola-Cola (more precisely Pepsi) is poured from a bottle. According to the principle: even if it costs 40-50 minutes, we pour from the same bottle. There are no special faucets, as well as for beer. No cooling, respectively. Nonsense. These guys weren't taught not to drink Coke warm. This drink is only served cold, remember! Like beer - from the tap! It is desirable to put such cranes for Fanta with Sprite. In other words, I haven’t been drinking this rubbish anyway for 10 years?

Turkish coffee - only with cardamom. It's like coffee with lemon.
Not tasty, not like in Turkey… They could charge $2 for it, but make it excellent, I would drink it 2-3 times a day, $6 a day is not a pity. Here - free and nasty? In short, there is no coffee in the hotel. If you love coffee, this is definitely not the place for you. Take at least 100 sticks of Jacobs instant from home, won't you regret your action?

If you are not an Italian or other European, you will most likely not see rooms with a sea view. In season, that's for sure. Well ...apparently Italians pay more for a hotel in their own country, buying vouchers. You won’t be forcibly nice, if the Egyptians don’t like Ukrainians who don’t like to tip, we won’t cry from this, they have a sea and a beach in winter. 40 dollars a day pay extra for a room at the box office, and you will be - with a sea view. No 40-80 dollars to the receptionist - do not roll. So, of course, I didn't give them $500 for my two weeks. The room was nice, quiet, but mentally washing the floors every morning with the staff with your own ears - you have to.
I think it's impossible to live in the rooms near the pool on the ground floor because of the noise. By the way, in Egypt there are no double-glazed windows, only single glass in each window, there is no winter there))) So there is no sound insulation either.

I will say that I liked this hotel. I have been to Turkey many times, only in the top five...there were MUCH more problems there. Here I am 97% satisfied. I just decided to describe exactly the shortcomings at the beginning.


Do not buy back "on the road" green Mangoes, in the hope that they will ripen. A good ripe soft Mango lies perfectly in the room for 3-4-5 days. Do you think you can carry them in your hand luggage on the plane home just as tasty and ripe? Of course you can! Take only ripe, do not be suckers. $4 per kilogram of ripe mangoes - the price at the market near the hotel. Pay boldly, it's worth it, don't bargain for $1. In the market in the "Old Town" they are the same.
Scuba diving iPhone cases are available in the hotel shop. You will definitely need them for underwater photography. Fins / masks / snorkels - of course, bring your own from home. You will definitely need them. In other matters, the hotel has it all on sale and the prices are the same as in Ukraine.

Don't touch the corals. They immediately sting their fingers. Nobody warned us, we felt them on purpose. My wife has an abscess on her finger and now a month later. I wasn't stung, the corals liked me. Once I saw Murena right under the place of descent into the water from the pantone of the hotel. But moray eels in this place are a rare thing. Do not feed the fish with bread and other food - if a larger fish swims up, it can easily bite off a piece of your finger along with the food. Especially God forbid you to feed Murena if you find her there and make friends. Judging by the video on youtube, your finger can bite you off instantly.

There are no car rentals at the hotels. This is not Turkey. There is not much to go to Sharm.
A taxi to the old town costs $10-$15 one way. SOHO - $7. If you live in a city with a million population, then you have nothing to do either there or there. Just markets, nothing will surprise you. Unless a kilogram of palm-sized king prawns cooked in front of you can be bought in the old city for $12.

Well, who is going to fly to Egypt to rest for 13-20 nights, I would advise you to buy half of your holiday - in one hotel, and the other half - in another. B move between hotels. You certainly won't regret the change of scenery.
