    ...Having been to Sharm on multiple occasions and always staying in the nicest hotels we decided to try the Barcelo this time, as we decided to have more than one holiday this year we wanted to keep costs to a minimum without scrimping too much on quality and Comfort and we like our private swimming area we opted for the Barcelo. Given that the Barcelo was roughly half the cost of our usual hotels we were slightly dubious but upon arrival and settled in our room our worries were a distant memory... The local drinks are just about acceptable although the vodka etc taste like paint stripper, good job the wine was decent, we took bottles back to the room every day although there was a charge for these... The room service menu for which there is also a charge was fantastic and so cheap, a steak and chips and chicken and chips were less than £10 so when we couldn't be bothered to goto the restaurant this was a nice alternative...

    Obviously it used to be a some sort of a boutique hotel back to the dates when it was build, but since that times it was never renovated to keep those sharm (in Sharm :-) ) the owners pretended to have... Also, as we may undestarnd, the budget for this hotel is quite reasonable, compare to the others, especially the real 5 stars... So, be ready for the compromise - limited money for the limited service and hotel facilities for the good beach and sea vocation if you are about this...

I found an insect on the bread and hair in the food 3rd day : out of no where they decided they should clean the only pool they have at 3:30 pm (the peak of pool usage ) and since they already threw choloine in the water we won't be able to use it for the rest of the day so 3rd day is ruined as well moreover the animation team is a group of 3 ppl who keep shouting and their music is very local and doesn't cope with a respectful place thanks barcelo u r such a bad and poor service hotel Not recommended at all if u wanna have a peaceful , friendly and enjoyable vacation...

    French family of 4, we had a great time in this hotel. We are regular clients of the Barcelo chain, and the Tiran Sharm did not disappoint... 2) the service was absolutely flawless during our stay... In the restaurant of course, waiters are efficient and most friendly, making kids smile... Samir and Ramadan especially were fun and helpful at every meal... M. Mostafa, the food & beverages managers, is constantly present to ensure that everyone is content and both the food quality and the restaurant service are reflecting his work... The service is also impeccable from the front office team and their manager : my wife called to get another type of pillow and we got someone at our door within minutes... We called for laundery pick up : same, barely minutes to get someone at our door... the beach and pool area are clean and we never struggled to get beds... Again, the employees are helpful in that regard, and contrary to my fear, are not begging for tips when they help you... Cleaning service is perfect again, and comes twice a day, the second to make sure you're not missing anything... There are several vendors going bed to bed to sell massages, trips, etc... We chose to buy several services : massages from the spa were great, my wife particularely appreciated the work from Yasmine, and the PADI-certified team at the diving center was also perfect with the whole family... As I told the hotel's general manager who I was happy to get to meet, I will definitely go back to this hotel... It was one of the best Barcelo hotels I've been to (out of 12+ I've tried so far), probably the best buffet amongst them and the most efficient service...

Also, thanks to wonderful bartnders Mina(pool bar), Hany (beach bar) who made our stay even more cheerful, thanks to other bartenders too, they all are smiling, hardworking and welcoming... We had to check out at 12:00, and we were told that after cheking our all inclusive package is also finished... Staff in reception was arrogant with attitude and not helpful, at first they didnt want to suggest any solutions, they even didnt apologise for their mistake...

My husband is very picky so he found it harder than me but we found by tipping the chef he would make something of your choosing... We enjoyed spending time with him and becoming friends, he even kindly took us out clubbing and dancing about a 30 minute taxi away too which I must admit made me feel anxious but he took such care in making sure we were having fun and safe...

    "I had a good stay at Barcelo Tiran in Sharm El Sheikh, with two standout members of the animation team - Alex and Nastia - who were very friendly and helpful. On the other hand, the reservation and reception teams could improve in terms of professionalism and hospitality... With a little improvement in customer service, the hotel has the potential to be even better."...

    ...The facilities are very neat, beautiful and comfortable... As for the menu, the quality of the food is noticeable, they provide a lot of variety and they accommodated our particular requirements for foods low in sugar or for vegans... There are not enough words to especially highlight the beach lifeguard team, the recreationists (Danny, Mohamed, and the rest of the team), the waiters Samir, Islam and in general all the waiters, restaurant administrators , the beach bar and lobby staff and the cleaning staff... It is a 5 star hotel in every sense of the word...

    French family of 4, we had a great time in this hotel... In the restaurant of course, waiters are efficient and most friendly, making kids smile... Samir and Ramadan especially were fun and helpful at every meal... The service is also impeccable from the front office team and their manager : my wife called to get another type of pillow and we got someone at our door within minutes... We called for laundery pick up : same, barely minutes to get someone at our door... But the hotel location is amazing which largely compensate minor esthetics issues... From the hotel's beach you can actually see both sun rise and sun set !... the beach and pool area are clean and we never struggled to get beds... Rooms are spacious, but I must confess that we got a nice upgrade from being regular Barcelo customers, so we probably experienced a larger room than standard... Cleaning service is perfect again, and comes twice a day, the second to make sure you're not missing anything... There are several vendors going bed to bed to sell massages, trips, etc... We chose to buy several services : massages from the spa were great, my wife particularely appreciated the work from Yasmine, and the PADI-certified team at the diving center was also perfect with the whole family... It was one of the best Barcelo hotels I've been to (out of 12+ I've tried so far), probably the best buffet amongst them and the most efficient service...

    ...Having been to Sharm on multiple occasions and always staying in the nicest hotels we decided to try the Barcelo this time, as we decided to have more than one holiday this year we wanted to keep costs to a minimum without scrimping too much on quality and Comfort and we like our private swimming area we opted for the Barcelo. Given that the Barcelo was roughly half the cost of our usual hotels we were slightly dubious but upon arrival and settled in our room our worries were a distant memory... Although the rooms are slightly dated we were more than happy with the location, given we were only 200m from the sea in front of us... The room was clean and we were welcomed with fresh fruit... And our doors led directly into our pool which was our position for 90% of the stay, apart from visits for food and a couple of excursions to the Hard rock cafe that is only a stones throw away from the hotel... The food is plentiful and tasty with plenty choice, burgers pizza shawarma etc are all availiable from the beach restaurant too... The room service menu for which there is also a charge was fantastic and so cheap, a steak and chips and chicken and chips were less than £10 so when we couldn't be bothered to goto the restaurant this was a nice alternative... The hotel is generally very clean, and anything we needed the staff were on hand to help without question... But what made the holiday extra special were the bar staff who were superb, they were very attentive and could never do enough to help... As soon as your drink was finished they had you replenished in an instant, we honestly cannot thank them enough, with a special mention to Ramadam in the reception area Bar, and Ahmed and also Mohamed in the beach bar that made our holiday extra special...

Also, thanks to wonderful bartnders Mina(pool bar), Hany (beach bar) who made our stay even more cheerful, thanks to other bartenders too, they all are smiling, hardworking and welcoming... We had to check out at 12:00, and we were told that after cheking our all inclusive package is also finished... We were told that we can stay at hotel, but with no drinks or food unless we pay more money...

Hotel interiors were nice and clean... Also pool area well looked after... Beach is amazing, very good access to the sea, plenty choice for snorkeling... Bring good snorkeling mask,you will need it... Animation we didn't really used but there were great choice of activities throughout the day and evening, but we weren't bothered with any noise at all, hotel was really peaceful,at least in our section number 5... It's big hotel and there are some things that need little improvement... But I think this hotel was a great choice for us... Thank you for nice time spent in this hotel, if we get a chance, we would be definitely back...

    ...Beautiful beach, I don't know if this is possible in another hotel, I think it's unique... There are all amenities in the room: bed, shower, toilet, air conditioning, refrigerator, TV, iron, safe... There are reviews that say that there are few sunbeds - complete nonsense and not true, there are always more than enough sunbeds, if necessary, you can accommodate half of the city of Sharm, but there is a nuance... Many tend to take a sunbed early in the morning to be closer to the bar... But those who like to sleep longer will definitely not be left without a sunbed... Canteen, bars, housekeeping, beachboys, animation👍 Friendly, smiling, friendly and comfortable people, all without exception...

We just returned from Barcelo hotel Very mixed experience Great service in the restaurant and specially in the bar . Food was good We were in a room with a "see view ". Yeah , if you stood up. That was the biggest scam when we booked Restricted area on the beach for sweeming Shabby rooms . No coffee machine Water pressure was a joke Be aware of the nasty mosquitos All in all, not a good experience We won't return

Great hotel and highly recommend buying a snorkel early on to explore the reef, it is honestly amazing and it really makes this hotel special. The beach also overlooks a desert and it really fits the Egyptian aesthetic! The food was decent, it’s what you would expect in an all inclusive and the drinks were good - they have a wide range of cocktails which were really nice. The bar staff in the main lobby and beach were friendly and did a great job, the servers in the restaurant were great too. Special mention to Mohammed (Mo) in the animation team, he gave us some great local recommendations including a spot called farsha cafe which I would highly recommend. One night we decided to purchase the nightclub deal off Mo (transfer, ticket and a free drink) and it was well worth it - he came along with us and it made the night an even more enjoyable experience! I would return to this hotel, although one thing it was missing was a bar area for late night drinks - the lobby is the only place you can go.

Presently at this hotel and can honestly say I'm enjoying every moment! Very warm welcome by the staff with a very efficient check in! Staff cannot do enough for you..always very polite and courteous from the cleaning staff / bar staff / restaurant staff all cannot be anymore helpful. Food is good with choices to eat in the 3 eating areas (main restaurant buffet style /upstairs restaurant for service at the table for that special occasion or the beach/pool food bar for lunch when your topping up that tan! Two bars (one by the beach/pool area one in the lounge/reception area). Snorkeling right from the private beach is just amazing....just walk in and you're surrounded by beautiful fish!

We went to the hotel in November and stayed for 5 nights. The hotel's location is close to the airport. We preferred it compared to other hotels because there is both a sea and a pool. The hotel was really clean. The employees were very respectful and friendly. The employees were helpful in everything. It is only necessary to negotiate about a taxi or it is necessary to call a taxi from outside. Sarah, whom we met at the hotel, supported us in everything. Together with her team, they entertained the whole hotel every day. Thank you so much to the helpful Sarah.

I have just return from my trip and I have to say the worst experience as a solo black female traveler! I was very polite to the staff at the hotel I even gave tips and yet I was still singled out and treat like a criminal and a piece of meat. The majority of the workers were all men and they made me feel so uncomfortable by the constant stares and undressing with their eyes! Very pervy.. The restaurant was the worst, there was one guy that would always wave to me and point for me to sit in his section I guess because it was quiet and then he could harass and ask me more questions like am I married and I look very nice..I got asked these questions almost everyday. (Oh and I also got ask for my room number when I was in the evening pool) The time that got me the most upset and made me cry was when I was interrogated at lunch on my last day I checked in late so that mean I was allowed to have the lunch on my last day. This was confirmed the day before. All of a sudden members of the restaurant came up to me several times asking the same question “when do you check out? When did you check in?” I told them the same answer. all I got was stares whilst eating my food and they started to stand around me like I was a dam criminal! Even other guest were starting to wonder what was going on! I had never felt so embarrassed! I paid my money for this trip and worked hard for it and all I got from my stay was stares, whispers in their language, fake smiles, lustful looks, inappropriate questions asked. And despite all this I still tried my best to remain positive and friendly still tipping these people . Even management was looking at me all funny like I was some sort of intruder!! I even noticed the bar man at the beach serve me last even though I was the first to order a drink!! I guess the Russian guest mean a lot more to them I do. On a positive note the reps were very friendly especially Homos and Sarah, the guy by the pool bar and the waiters at the restaurant by the breach were also nice.. but I would say if you are a black solo traveler I would not recommend this hotel! Especially if female. Please do better and consider everyone has feelings and we should all be treated the same no matter what skin colour you have. X

I arrived in November and stayed for 5 nights, and the visit to barcelo was exactly what I needed to refresh and recharge. I had a few massages while I stayed and it definitely worked! The location of the hotel was great, directly on a private beach with plenty of marine life to be seen in the water. It is about a 15 minute walk from Hard Rock Cafe and other shops/ markets. The hotel itself looks great, and was kept very clean. I would say that it is starting to look a little tired, however this is definitely getting attending to as there looks to be renovation works going on. The room was a great size and bed was very comfy. A fresh bottle of water was in your room every morning and cleaned to perfection. Now onto the stars of the show, the staff! Every single person that worked there made you feel welcome and relaxed. You would be greeted with a smile from everybody and the bar staff would be incredibly attentive to ensure you were never short of a drink. The animation team were so friendly and worked incredibly hard to make sure every guest had the best stay, with plenty of activities throughout the day to take part in if you chose to. The biggest shoutout has to go to Cindy and Sarah, who made my stay unforgettable. They were so friendly, made me feel at home and could not have done a better job! I will definitely be returning

Manchester, United Kingdom2 contributions
This was my first time in Egypt and I chose this hotel from the reviews. The hotel is set in quite substantial grounds and has a security gate around 200m from the main entrance. A taxi transfer from the airport should cost you no more than 2-300 Egyptian pounds. The best thing about this hotel are the people who work there. They truly cannot do enough for you. Standout for us were Ahmed our room cleaner, Hanni at the beach bar and Mohammed and Abdallah at the barracuda restaurant. On your first day you will find that you are canvassed by all sorts of people who wish to sell you a spa day, sea sports etc. once you are polite and decline they will leave you alone and wish you good morning thereafter. The animation team work tirelessly to keep the guests entertained. It does sometimes become somewhat overbearing every day but again after a pleasant conversation they will engage with other guests. Please don’t let the fact they are persistent put you off they really do just want everyone to have a good time. The pools are well tended and the beach has. A great private snorkelling area. The beach is not fine sand and is quite coarse. Food is excellent. You will get invited to the a la carte restaurant during your stay. This is a waiter service to your table and the menu (Italian we had) was superb. The dining room is buffet style and always has a large variety for each meal. Snacks can be obtained at the Barracuda bar (burgers hot dogs and salads) if you didn’t want a full on lunch. We tipped little and often but often tipped a bit more every other day or so to express our thanks. We would come here again. I am writing this review from the hotel lobby as we wait for our cab to the airport. There are three downsides. The first are the mosquitos that pepper you at night. Not an indictment on the hotel as such as they clearly cannot help that - but be prepared before you come. The alcohol selection on the all inclusive is adequate but the locally made drinks aren’t great. The cocktails are frankly awful so I just stayed on beer or rum and coke all week. If you are coming here thinking you will be drinking Long Island iced teas and mud slides all holiday this isn’t the place for you. Finally we came in winter and the hotel advertised aircon in all rooms. This is true but was turned off so only blew out air which was not cold. The guest relations staff check with you if your stay is in order every other day - we spoke of the lack of aircon and to their credit they organised a fan for the room which worked more than fine at this time of year. All that said these were minor matters that were overcome by a tremendous staff. We would come here again without question.

We enjoyed our time at Barcelo a lot! The weather was perfect in November with still hot days and not-too-chill nights. We mainly came for the diving which is a dream at the Red Sea. Barcelo is also well-located for longer dive trips e.g. to SS Thistlegorm, Ras Mohammed, or Dahab - if that is your thing. Otherwise, you can chill at the beach and enjoy the activities of the Animation team, who were awesome. We especially liked Cindy who was always very nice!
