Wonderful experience

Exceptional cleanliness, wonderful staff and a beautiful resort

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Barceló Tiran Sharm.! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how clean, organized and well-maintained the entire resort was!

But what impressed us the most was the staff! . Everyone was exceptionally friendly, polite, professional and genuinely helpful. From reception and housekeeping to the restaurant and bar staff, we were always greeted with a smile and made to feel welcome. Their attitude and attention to guests made a real difference to our holiday. A special thank you to the entire Barceló Tiran team for making our stay so enjoyable and memorable.! We would definitely return and highly recommend this hotel!

TripAdvisor Review
An unforgettable stay – we came back and would visit again

A wonderful hotel with very polite and smiling staff.

The rooms are large, comfortable, and cleaned daily. Ours had its own private pool, which is a huge advantage if you are looking for more peace and quiet.

Very stable internet connection; you can truly rely on the Wi-Fi for work if needed.

The food is plentiful, varied, fresh, and delicious. Some of it is cooked live by chefs right in the restaurant. We were impressed to see familiar faces working in the restaurant who were also there during our previous stay at the same hotel in September 2024. Both during our first visit and now, we were served by Mostafa Mahmoud—a very kind and cheerful waiter who takes great care of the guests at the tables near the kids' area.

There is all-day entertainment organized by the hotel's animation team, as well as evening shows—mostly featuring guest dance troupes performing various styles of dance, a fire show, an Egyptian night, and more. Salma, a very sweet girl from the animation team, is great for English-speaking guests. Most of the other animators cater more to Russian-speaking guests, but as a team, they manage to engage everyone regardless of nationality.

There is a rich and diverse house reef with amazing marine life right off the beach. This was our main criterion when we first chose the hotel back in 2024, and our recent stay only confirmed we made the right choice. The reef starts right at the shore, and you can see a wide variety of fish just a few meters into the water—no need to swim far out. It's fantastic for snorkeling. There is also a diving center for those who prefer diving, as well as windsurfing options.

The hotel is compact, and its layout allows you to walk from one end to the other (and to the beach, even if you are staying in one of the further buildings) without being exposed to too much sun. This is a massive plus when it's 40°C outside.

Прекрасен хотел с много любезен и усмихнат персонал. Стаите са големи, удобни, почистват се ежедневно. Нашата беше със собствен басейн, което е изключително предимство, ако желаете повече спокойствие. Много стабилен интернет, може да се разчита на Wi-Fi за работа при нужда. Храната е в изобилие, разнообразна, прясна и вкусна. Част от нея се приготвя от готвачи на момента в ресторанта. Направи ни впечатление, че виждаме познати лица, които работеха в ресторанта и при нашето предишно посещение в същия хотел през септември 2024. И при първото ни посещение, и сега, ни обслужва Мостафа Махмуд - много мил и усмихнат сервитьор, които се грижи за клиентите на масите в близост до детския кът. Има целодневни развлечения, организирани от екипа аниматори към хотела и вечерна програма в повечето случаи с гостуващи танцьори на различни видове танци, огнено шоу, египетска вечер и други. Много мила девойка от екипа аниматори е Салма, за англоговорящи гости. Повечето останали аниматори са по-атрактивни за рускоговорящите. Като екип успяват да привлекат всички гости от всякаква националност. Има богат и разнообразен риф и подводен свят в непосредствена близост на плажа. Това беше основния ни критерий при първоначалния ни избор на хотел през 2024. Потвърждаваме избора си и при сегашното ни посещение. Рифът започва от самия плаж и има много разнообразни риби на няколко метра от плажната ивица. Не е необходимо да се плува надалеч, за да се видят различни видове. Прекрасно за шнорхелинг. Има и център за гмуркане за който предпочита този вид развлечения, както и сърф. Хотелът е компактен и архитектурата му позволява да се стига от единия край до другия (съответно до плажа, ако си в по-отдалечена сграда) без да се излагаш на прекомерно слънце. Това е огромен позитив при 40° темпетарура.

❤️ NOT JUST A HOTEL — OUR SECOND HOME AND OUR SECOND FAMILY ❤️

Where do we even begin? Once again, our stay at Barcelo Tiran Sharm was nothing short of SUBLIME. But honestly, the word “sublime” doesn’t even come close to describing what this place means to us.

For many people, a hotel is simply a place to stay. For us, Barcelo Tiran Sharm is HOME. ❤️

From the moment we arrive at the main gate, we are welcomed with warmth, genuine smiles and so much love. The hospitality here is not something you simply experience — you feel it in your heart.

The biggest reason we keep coming back is the people. They are no longer just hotel employees to us. Over the years, they have become friends, familiar faces and, most importantly, family.

A very special thank you to Ahmed, the security guard at the main gate. His smile, kindness and warm welcome are always one of the first things that make us feel that we are finally back home.

To the wonderful safety guards at the pool and on the beach, thank you for always looking after everyone with such dedication and care. A very special mention to Faris and Ali — you both have a very special place in our hearts. ❤️

And of course, Ali, the Beach Towels Supervisor — thank you for your kindness, your smile and for always making us feel so welcome.

The animation team is absolutely fantastic. Your energy, enthusiasm and positive spirit make the atmosphere at the hotel even more special. And Jaguar — what can we say? You are truly one of a kind! ❤️ Your incredible energy, sense of humour and warmth make you unforgettable. You bring happiness wherever you go.

The entire team of waiters and bartenders deserves the biggest applause. They work tirelessly, yet always manage to greet guests with a smile and genuine kindness.

And there are two names we simply cannot leave out: Essam in the restaurant, and Soufian and Fathey at the bar. You are much more than staff to us. You have become people we genuinely care about and who will always remain in our hearts. ❤️

And finally, a huge thank you to the entire management team. Your dedication, professionalism and personal involvement are clearly visible throughout the hotel. It takes an incredible team to create an atmosphere where guests feel not just welcome, but truly loved and cared for.

That is what makes Barcelo Tiran Sharm so special.

It is not just the Red Sea. It is not just the sunshine. It is not just the beautiful hotel.

It is the PEOPLE. ❤️

The smiles. The kindness. The hugs. The familiar faces. The little conversations. The feeling that people genuinely remember you and are happy to see you again.

Every time we return, it feels like a family reunion. And every time we leave, our hearts are heavy because we are saying goodbye to people who have become part of our lives.

Some places you visit. Some places you remember. And some places become part of your heart.

For us, Barcelo Tiran Sharm is one of those places.

It is our second home, our second family and a place where our hearts feel at peace. ❤️🇪🇬

To every single member of the Barcelo Tiran Sharm family — from the security team to the safety guards, beach and pool teams, animation, waiters, bartenders, housekeeping and management:

THANK YOU. ❤️

Thank you for every smile. Thank you for every kind gesture. Thank you for every conversation. Thank you for every moment. Thank you for making us feel at home.

We may leave the hotel, but a piece of our hearts always stays behind with you.

Until we return again… ❤️🇪🇬

Barcelo Tiran Sharm — forever our second home. Forever our second family. ❤️

Geert & Nancy… From Belgium 😁😄😄
