Nice vacation
Nice experience, had alot of fun, very nice staff.
Fabulous time at Baron Palace.
Our first time in Egypt and after some research we decided to stay at the Baron Palace. Super hotel, we loved the layout, the various pools and especially the adult only sections. The restaurants we tried were all very good although could be tricky to book as when we were there, the hotel was very busy. The best parts, the staff were all amazing and could not do enough for us especially the team at the Serene bar and lunch location. What could be improved, the choice of drinks as part of the all inclusive package, a few more sunbeds and the organisation of lunch at the Serene bar. Apart from that, we would certainly return.

A Disappointing Experience for a Hotel That Presents Itself as a Luxury Resort
My experience at Baron Palace fell well short of my expectations for a five-star resort.
- Sunbeds at the Beach and Pool
Finding a sunbed at the beach or pool is extremely frustrating. You practically have to get up at 6 a.m. to secure the best spots or 7 a.m. to have a chance of getting one of the remaining places. This problem could easily be solved, as the beach has enough space for at least twice as many sunbeds and parasols. Even more disappointing is the fact that some guests give generous tips to staff every day to reserve the best spots for them by placing towels and other belongings there.
- Extremely Slow Drink Service
With the exception of the à la carte restaurants and the Adults Only beach bar and restaurant, the average wait for drinks is around 20 minutes, even at the main buffet restaurant. Sometimes, we finish our meal before the drinks arrive! The same problem occurs in the lobby, where the main bar is open 24 hours a day, with waiting times also reaching 20 minutes. This level of service is completely unacceptable for a hotel of this standard.
- Food Quality Far Below Expectations
The main buffet restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes, but the taste leaves a lot to be desired. Only breakfast meets the standard expected of a five-star hotel.
The food was tasty at the à la carte restaurants I tried, with the exception of the Italian restaurant, where we waited 55 minutes between the starters and the main course, which then arrived cold at the table.
- Poor Evening Entertainment and Incompatible Dining Times
Evening entertainment is very limited: on most nights, it consists of someone singing or playing the piano. Shows at the amphitheatre take place only on Fridays and Saturdays, and their quality is equally disappointing.
The problem is made worse by the dining times at the à la carte restaurants. Even when booking two days in advance, the 7 p.m. time slot is already unavailable. Sometimes, it is still possible to book at 8:30 p.m., but most available slots are at 9:30 p.m., or there is no availability at all.
As a result, not only is the entertainment limited and uninteresting, but the late dinner times make it even harder to attend the shows. In practice, guests have very few opportunities to enjoy a pleasant evening, which falls far short of what is expected from a five-star resort.
- Wi-Fi Signal but No Internet Access
In several areas of the hotel, particularly at the beach, in some parts of the pool area and elsewhere around the resort, the Wi-Fi shows a signal, sometimes even two bars, but the internet connection simply does not work or is extremely slow. Having a signal does not mean being able to browse the internet, which is particularly disappointing for a hotel of this standard.
- Superficial Room Cleaning
Room cleaning is far too superficial and falls short of the standards of care and attention to detail expected from a five-star hotel.
Additional Information About the Premium All-Inclusive Package
The selection of included international branded drinks is surprisingly limited, with only around five options, which are not even particularly high-profile brands, such as Beefeater gin.
There is only one bar offering a wider selection of drinks, open exclusively in the evening, but the lighting is almost non-existent. In addition, men are required to wear long trousers in this bar and in most of the à la carte restaurants.

Bad experience
Unacceptable Discrimination Against Egyptian Guests! I had a terrible experience at this hotel. There is clear and unacceptable racial bias against Egyptian guests. The staff treats foreign tourists with great respect, smiles, and attention, while completely ignoring Egyptians. When I tried to order drinks or ask for anything at the bar, I was repeatedly ignored and made to feel unwelcome. On top of that, Egyptian guests are given small, poorly maintained rooms, whereas foreign guests receive much better accommodations. The staff is extremely unprofessional and unwelcoming—they never even smile at Egyptian guests. I strongly advise all Egyptian travelers to avoid this hotel until they treat every guest with equal respect.
Good relaxation Hotel
The hotel is perfect in cleanliness, food and calm relaxing atmosphere. Staff is welcoming and supportive. The beach is just fine Limited entertainment activities like animation team . No aqua park.. very few bars.
