Just completed my 8th Holiday at the Baron Palace at Sahl Hasheesh (South of Hurghada) on the Red Sea in Egypt for nearly 3 weeks in November 2024. I'm afraid I struggle to be impartial about this Hotel; because once again it delivers on all fronts.... If you are looking for a luxurious destination away from the centre of Hurghada, as a quiet and relaxing break - then this is the place for you.... As the old saying goes - you get what you pay for. If, however, you need a more active nightlife - then Hurghada, or Sahl Hashessh itself, would be more suited. There are multiple dining options including 6 a' la carte restaurants (all with exceptional food and outstanding service), as well as the Red Sea Main Buffet Restaurant. The choices at Breakfast are mind-boggling! There is also live music entertainment in front of the Latino Bar every night of the week. A new addition for 2024 is the fantastic "Serene Bar and Restaurant" built next to the Beach and overlooking the Red Sea. This is a really great addition, and with it's own gardens surrounding the split-level seating areas; an ideal location for evening drinks or afternoon meals. The entire complex, including all the panoramic gardens is pristine, and a tribute to all those who make it so.... It is definitely best to book as All Inclusive, as the drinks bill can add up quickly if you are Half Board. Naturally, this will also give you access to 5 of the a’ la carte restaurants. The Japanese Restaurant & Baron Club Lounge are extra charge unless you are a Premium booking. Generally, a place that you stay in is about facilities and the people who look after you. In respect of those who made my stay an even more memorable experience from start to finish; I would like to mention the following:- Michael & Mostafa @ Reception; Tatiana & Vivian & Anita & Emily with Guest Relations; and around the Hotel – Ahmad & Siddiq (Housekeeping), Danilyn & Erika & Joanna (Niche Bar), Ashraf & all (Seafood Restaurant), Mustafa & Mohamed (Italian Restaurant), Karim (Egyptian Restaurant), Abu & Mohamad (Mexican Restaurant), Ahmad (Thai Restaurant), Ana & Abdulla & Hisham (Serene), and my friends from many years – Mahmoud & Hatem at the Adult Pool. Finally, for his ever-smiling “Good Morning’s” Moner, who is part of the Gardens team…. Another genuine Five Star experience for me – 100% perfect weather and will be returning again at some point in 2025. Tip: From late October the Sun fades quite quickly after 4.45pm (but is strong from 08.00 am).
