Our 2 week stay at the Baron Resort, January - February 2012 was wonderful. The hotel and grounds are attractive and well maintained and the location right on the edge of the amazing coral reef is fantastic BUT it is the staff who are most deserving of praise. Right from the warm welcome, every member of staff who we had contact with was friendly, polite and professional. The managers, including the Area Manager and General Manager were regularly seen in the public areas and very anxious that we were absolutely satisfied and enjoying ourselves. Our room was well equipped, comfortable and kept immaculately clean. The food was excellent and again the chefs were present and checking that we had all that we needed. We were told on many occasions if food of the day was not to our liking they would be happy to cook us whatever we wanted. We know a number of people did ask and they produced what they wanted with enthusiasm. The waiting staff were attentive and friendly and very quickly remembered our names and drink preferences etc. The specialist A La Carte Restaurants were all great and the beach bar and pool bar were relaxed and friendly.

All the extras in the Premium All Inclusive package were added luxuries and made us feel very pampered. The laundry service in particular is of a very high standard and clothes were returned looking good as new beautifully wrapped in cellophane packages.

The gardens and grounds are kept immaculate and the beach is regularly cleaned. We saw little sign of mosquitos or other insects, but we did see staff regularly wandering around spraying to kill off the nasties.

The massages offered by the Spa staff are excellent and well worth having a full massage course to get rid of those aches and pains.

We have travelled and lived all over the world and the Baron Resort is as good as any 5* hotel in any capital city and better than many.

The Thomas Cook Rep, Jill, was readily available, and very helpful but unfortunately the flights were very uncomfortable because of minimal leg room and uncomfortable seats - not good enough for a 6 hour flight.. Speaking to other guests it is clear this is a major issue Thomas Cook will have to address or they will lose business.

There is no need to get up early to reserve your sun bed, there are loads available.

Thank you for an amazing 2 weeks, we hope to be back for a week in December.

this baron resort is fabulous. my friend christine mcchesney and myself mary cadden went to baron resort on the 23r january2012 for 2weeks all inclusive premium. our room had great outlook over manicured gardens and the sea. the staff could not do enough for us. in main dining room abdulazim and mamhoud were excellent as were all of the staff too many to name. the food was excellent, great choice. mr. khalid was very hands on with the guests that was very refreshing. we will definatly go back and would recommend this hotel highly.

The Hotel is very nice looking - good design - and you are been heartly welcomed with music and smiles when you arrive.
The managing of the hotel is very nice and professional and at a very high standard and at the same time relaxed but not too relaxed. We loved it and we´ll come back. That is a fact. The worlds best reef is just outside the hotel for snorkling and diving. A very nice beach with small playgrounds for children - a very nice swimming pool area - also with an area for small children - every day animation for children and grown ups - all kind of fitness, aquaswimming, different dancing, tennis, exercises, volley, boccacio etc is offered the whole day through. Lots of possibilities to go sightseeing inland from the location. The hotel is situated north of Naama Bay at Ras Nasrani Bay near Sharks Bay and not as shown in Booking.com´s map. It was a bit confusing at arrival but we became very happy of this location anyway. We were 6 adults from 26 to 67 and one child at 2½ year. It has been af pleasure to book through Booking.com. Very quick and professionel and helpfull.
Notice: There are also antother Baron Hotel. It is called Baron Palm. The two hotels are situated just beside each other. I just mention it for preventing you to bee confused when you paddle trough the hotel list. :-)
The Hotel wanted110 US$ per day per person for all inclusive. That is a lot og money. You will have to be very hungry and thursty to make a good bargain out of it. We did not choose it and that we have not regretted.
Booking.com tells that you can choose between 12 restaurants at the Hotel complex. There are maximun 6 restaurants. All very good and nice - similar price level as in Denmark.
When diving - dont´t book divingtours at the beach, but go to Naama Bay because booking at the beach is almost 3 times the price.
Very nice and conveninet with free internet on the hotels main area.
Therese are some really good and cheap fishrestaurants in Old Market, Sharm El Sheikh.
Almost all room have garden and seaview - and the view is very very nice. The garden is lovely and very well maintained. Anyway I saw room without seaview but nobody lived there - because of the early season, I believe. In high season I am sure they will be booked.
We have no complains at all - we stayed 8 days at Baron Resort. It was a pleasure the whole week through.
Thank you to the Baron Resort, reception staff, waiters, cleaning staff, gardening staff, towel staff at swimming poll, animation crew - yes to everybody employed at the hotel - for helping making our family holiday so great.

A week of being spoilt !
We booked last minute with Thomas Cook and choose Baron Resort based on reviews we had read and the location of the hotel. We were not disappointed..

TIPS:

If you have large notes of Egyptian currency that you want changing into smaller notes ask at the gift shop by reception at the end of a day. He is always happy to help even if you don't purchase anything.

If you are not happy about anything talk to guest services. They can't help if they don't know.

Make the most of your laundry vouchers, well worth using ! Leave it outside your door before 9am and it will come back the same day. Items are hung or folded imaculate. Shirts etc come folded to A4 in individual packets. Look shop new !! We had two vouchers so used one mid week and one just before we came home,

If your not one to join in with day time activities just tell the animation team and then they won't hassle you to join in.

If you take a laptop etc you can get free wifi in the reception and bar. We could just about get it in our room as well although the signal wasn't as strong.



We arrived early evening and were welcomed into the hotel, offered drinks and chilled towels as we checked in. The reception was spotless and first impressions were that it was a really nice hotel. Our room was a good size however there was a lot of noise during the night from the air conditioning system. Next morning we informed reception and guest services about the noise and they sorted us another room out which was just as nice. The only downside to the rooms were that they were not double beds but our cleaner was more than happy to put the beds together to make one huge bed so that was fine.

The staff were really professional, friendly and willing to do anything for you. The service at the bars was excellent and all the staff spoke as you passed them. In the dining areas staff were on top of everything, there was no waiting for tables to be cleared or more food to be put out. We also noticed that all staff helped out. If something needed doing they did it no matter what their job. None of this standing about letting others do it because it wasn't "their job". None of the staff hassle you for tips as we have experienced in other Sharm resorts which was also good. We did tip staff but it was because we wanted to and not because we felt we had to.

Food was really nice, the main dining area gave a good selection of buffet style food and with the premium all inclusive you could eat at any of the other resturants as well. The only one I was disappointed in was the Indian. The nam breads were hard and my sizzler tandoori tasted burnt. However other's said that they enjoyed the food so maybe I just choose the wrong thing. We were also seated by the door and so kept getting a cold draught everytime the door was opened. We ate in the Italian most nights, service here was again excellent and the chefs would cook your meal to your liking. We also attended the Gala dinner, this was good. The entertainment was a little loud to begin with as we were sat directly in front of the stage.

Pool area was clean and tidy as was the beach, went snorkelling off the jetty and saw loads of fish. We ate at the pool bar every day and although a little cool (being in the shade) the service and food was again excellent. On one of our days at the pool the Leisure manager came round to ask for our feedback. We mentioned that we had changed rooms and so had lost our fruit basket. By the time we got back to our room there was a new fruit basket and selection of cookies.

We used our massage vouchers and laundry vouchers. Very impressed with both, disappointed that we couldn't use the small pool above the spa as it was closed for maintainence. We just fell unlucky that we were there when they were doing it. Massage was really good and we would have gone back if it had been a bit cheaper.

On our last day we had a 6 hour delay, Reps arranged a later pick up time. Hotel was fantastic and allowed us an extra hour on our rooms, advised us that we could use the showers at the spa if we wanted and extended our all inclusive to when we left.

Overall a really, really good holiday. Excellent service, excellent hotel. Would definatley go back again !

The only thing that I was disappointed in was the flight with Thomas Cook, in particular going back. Cabin crew disorganised, saving duty free for themselves and only one drinks service in the entire flight. And then when we got back we found our luggage had been left in Sharm. Hopefully Thomas Cook are investigating this.
