We stayed for 10 days end of June beginning July. We found check in really quick and wizzed to our room by golf buggy. We arrived about 1030 at night but was given food in bags - very nice. Bar open upstairs till 12 so managed a couple drinks on the first night too. We found all the staff in the Hilton amazing. All the bar staff, cleaning staff, shar-mania staff and life guards. We did 2 trips from the pier and both were amazing we loved it. Shar-mania staff were especially nice to us and very informative. Syeed especially was a lovely man and we really enjoyed talking to him and booking out speed boat trip with him. Abdul the life guard always helping us get our sunbeds and putting up our umbrella. Housekeeping young man was very good making us different animals everyday from the towels. Always polite and always asking if we needed anything. Fresh water, tea coffee and milk left in our room everyday as well as a bed change and new towels. We had a king size bed and it was lovely and comfortable and plenty of draws and wardrobe space in the room. Free room safe also. Restaurant staff were amazing especially Azez who got us a table and drinks on every visit. Food for me was amazing. If you don’t like what is out you can always ask for something. Barbecue nearly everyday. Kebabs, rice, curry, chips, pizza and pasta on offer all the time plus always a roast dinner Turkey Lamb or beef. I would say get in the restaurant at near enough opening time if you want to beat the rush and be relaxed. Free beach bus to take you to the other side where there is a pool and pontoon to jump off into the Red Sea. All the staff were really nice and polite and helpful and they made our stay very comfortable and very enjoyable. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone and would definitely like to return one day for another lovely holiday. Please ignore any bad reviews we loved our stay and also walking distance from soho square which is a lovely place to visit in the evenings and take pictures. We also met some lovely people from around the world around the pool and in the bar. Thank you for a very enjoyable holiday to all the staff.

As it was our 7th stay in Hilton Sharks Bay we have a lot for comparison. It feels that management is changing from time to time and not always in a good way. As we are returning customers we emailed hotel upfront with some small requests on our rooms. Nothing special, just location of room, bed types. Unfortunately, receptionist who is in charge of communication via emails wasn’t very customer oriented and we only were able to get answers for questions we also asked on 3rd or 4th email. Templates are good but at least try to make sure they answer all of the questions. It was our first time of staying on the 2nd line. Pros: rooms are much better as they are newer; a lot of space around the gigantic swimming pool, really good place to relax and enjoy sunbathing; restaurant as well is much lighter and more pleasant to dine. Cons: if you want to go to the beach it will take 10-15 min to walk, but there is a bus every 30 min, just make sure you catch it; swimming pool is great, but water is quite cold, in windy weather it is a no-no, or make sure you have enough “fuel” in your glasses. One big cons this time was a beach. To make sure you’ll have some spot there you need to come there at 6 or 7am, 8am will be too late, most likely you won’t find a place there. Problem is that hotel has a rule that reservation is forbidden, but they are not paying any attention to it. And thats a pity as some people just reserved it at 7am and come to beach at 10 or 11 am, so somebody may have used it and already left the beach. Another thing is their new towel system. If you have taken towel at one spot you must return it there. Quite frustrating if you have got it at 2nd line and go to the beach so you will need to bring it back to the second line, which is really annoying. Also 2nd line restaurant needs a bit more stuff as it is usual that tables won’t be cleaned until you’ll ask. But thats just lack of stuff, guys are doing very well there. Just give them some help. Things worth mentioning are their SPA, Kan Zaman beach bar and Barracuda restaurant. SPA was just super relaxing and helped us getting smooth tan and not getting a sun burn. At the beach bar try ordering Tequila Sunrise on fresh juice, it was amazing. And shrimps from Barracuda restaurant was so good that we had them twice. It was worth every cent. The biggest treasure of Hilton Sharks Bay is their stuff (not all of them, unfortunately). It feels so nice when you come and they recognize you and start smiling. That makes you feel that you’re having your best time. It was truly great time. So, if you want to have a lot of sea, select first line. If you just need to relax - 2nd line will work better.
