Bottom Line

At just 230
rooms, the Baron Palms Resort is one of the smaller all-inclusive complexes of
its kind in the area, and is a 20-minute drive to the nightlife in Naama Bay. Facilities are still abundant, however, with plenty of restaurants, bars, two large pools, a spa, and luxurious touches like padded loungers and poolside drinks
service. The beautiful private beach, though a short walk away from the property, provides a peaceful experience as this is an adult-only resort. Rooms have some authentic touches and balconies, though none have sea views; if that's a priority, consider the sister Barons Resort next door, which allows families and is closer to the beach.

Scene

Upscale adult-only resort with Arabian theme and tropical gardens

The Baron Palms Resort Sharm El Sheikh is a blend of Andalusian-style architecture and plenty
of Moorish touches including colorful geometric tiling and elegant whitewashed
archways. The lobby is particularly North African in style with attractive
lattice plasterwork, traditional hanging lanterns, and plush velvet furnishings
reminiscent of an Arabian palace. One of four properties that belongs to the independent
Baron chain, this resort opened in 1999 as an adult-only resort, which means the vibe
is more grown-up and sophisticated than at similar
properties nearby. Although the grounds are not extensive, they are well-tended with manicured lawns, plenty of tropical plants, and numerous palm trees (over 150). The resort is not situated right on the beach, however, but a short walk along the Baron Boulevard leads to a half-mile
long private beach and floating jetty that extends into the Red Sea and its gorgeous coral reefs.

Location

Short walk from beach and 20-minute drive to Naama Bay

The resort is located on the southern end of the Sinai
Peninsula overlooking the Straits of Tiran Island and part of the popular Sharm
El Sheikh tourist destination. The hotel is sandwiched between two other
resorts (one being its sister property -- Hotel Baron Resort Sharm El Sheikh) and surrounded by desert landscape; there's nothing within walking distance besides the
beach. The central tourist hub of Sharm El Sheikh, Naama Bay, is full of
restaurants, bars, and buzzing nightlife and about 20 minutes away by car. The hotel
is one of the closer ones to Sharm El Sheikh International Airport
at under a 15-minute drive.

Rooms

Bright, clean rooms, with modern amenities and furnished balconies

The hotel's 230 air-conditioned rooms are decorated with a few authentic, charming touches, such as carved wooden furnishings, arched arabesque moldings framing the beds, and small patterned rugs. White duvets and contrasting striped runners are modern, but certain elements, like the patterned curtains, were missed in the last renovation and look dated. Though the spaces are clean and upscale, the decor is a touch bland for an advertised five-star resort. Beige tile floors extend through sliding glass doors to
balconies furnished with wicker seating that overlook the pool or gardens
(though not the sea). Minibars are replenished daily, as are the tea and coffee, while
flat-screen TVs have over 40 international channels, though in-room Wi-Fi incurs an added charge. Egyptian
cotton bed linen and bathrobes add a luxury feel, while bathrooms have walk-in showers, wall-mounted hairdryers, and bidets. 

Features

Attractive central pool with padded loungers and drinks service, plus several restaurants, bars, and spa with fitness center

The hotel's main
restaurant, Tiran World Class Cuisine, doesn't quite fulfill its name
but does provide a decent and extensive buffet service for breakfast,
lunch, and dinner, while also offering themed nights. There are also two a la
carte restaurants, various bars -- one of which is set on the beach -- and an
oriental-style cafe offering shisha pipes. The attractive central swimming pool
is split in two parts and includes waterfall features, hot tubs, and
larger-than-normal padded loungers with poolside drink service.The hotel's
private beach (a short walk from the property) is a particularly attractive
stretch that provides plenty of parasols and loungers, as well as a floating
jetty out to the coral for snorkeling. There's also a PADI-certified dive shop for those
wanting to scuba farther out. While massages can be enjoyed on the beach,
there's also a health center with treatment rooms, sauna, and fitness room. Plenty
of shopping can be found on-site, including jewelry, perfume, and souvenirs, and some live entertainment is provided,
though this resort leans more toward peace and quiet than activity programs.

All-Inclusive / Food

Straightforward plan covering food and drink around the clock

The all-inclusive
plan includes buffet breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the main restaurant, as
well as an a la carte menu by the pool and in the Egyptian restaurant.
Unlimited local alcoholic drinks and a range of soft drinks are included around
the clock (the Now and Zen Dance Bar is open until 2 a.m., and the lobby bar is open all night), though premium spirits, imported wines, and minibar items are charged. Snacks and ice cream are also available free of charge
throughout the day, as are non-motorized water sports such as snorkeling,
pedalos, and kayaking.
