Barcelo Tiran Sharm

Matiss Putnins

I recently stayed at Barceló Tiran Sharm, and while some aspects were great, others were disappointing. Check-in & First Impressions Upon arrival, the reception staff were professional and welcoming. However, I was surprised when they immediately offered us a paid room upgrade—before we had even seen our assigned room. This made me wonder if there was something wrong with the standard rooms. We declined, as the website showcased beautiful rooms, so why pay extra for something you already expect to be nice? Once we finally got our keys and entered the room, it was quite outdated—nothing like the website photos. The bedding was worn out, with visible fabric pilling from overuse. The room also didn’t seem to have been properly cleaned before our arrival. Since we were tired from a late arrival, we just went to sleep. The next day, after leaving a tip for housekeeping, the room was properly cleaned, and we were given new, comfortable bedding. Food & Drinks The food was repetitive, with not much variety. Lots of plain salads, but enough to keep you fed. Drinks at the beach bar were great, and the bar staff were fantastic—friendly and welcoming. Biggest Disappointment The pool was under refurbishment, and at no point before arrival were we informed that it would be completely unavailable. This was frustrating, as a pool is a major part of a beach resort experience. What Made the Trip Worth It? The animation team! They were the true highlight of the stay, keeping guests entertained throughout the day and evening. Special thanks to Zarina, Ksysha, Regina, Saio, Hamza, and Rob—they truly know how to keep guests engaged and motivated. Would I Return? Yes, despite the issues with the room and food. The entertainment team and beach bar staff made up for the shortcomings. However, management should be more transparent about room quality and any ongoing renovations.

Well what can I say. What a great holiday we had here. Our rooms were upgraded because I believed we had booked sea view rooms but apparently they were side sea view to which I was not happy however Olga the customer relations manager upgraded us to sea front rooms and she was very helpful to me before and during the holiday. Our rooms were clean and spacious and our cleaner Ahmed was a lovely man and looked after us well. The food was Amazing lots of different selections to choose from . My daughter who is gluten free was looked after well by the restaurant manager Waleed and head chef who even brought partner some special vegetables when he heard him asking for vegan meals. Our waiter Mostafa couldn’t do enough for us! Only downside is you do not get your full 7 days all inclusive as we arrive about 7-8 at night on the Saturday and on the following Saturday check out was at 12 and they cut your ands off so we couldn’t access the food and drinks. They did allow us to keep one room for free until 3pm and allowed us to eat lunch at the restaurant. First time in Egypt and the hotel staff made it enjoyable for us They views were Amazing too! A special shout out to the names mentioned above Olga Ahmed Waleed Head Chef and Mostafa they are a credit to your hotel . Bar staff on beach and restaurant looked after us and beach staff were great, pool was closed for most of our week which we was not told about. Animation staff okay however one was very pushy can’t remember her name maybe seo ? Loved this hotel I would 💯 go back again ♥️

Firstly where do I start 😊 From the minute I booked this hotel the service and the emails back and fourth with Olga were brilliant. I would like to thankyou for the room upgrade on arrival as well as the birthday cake, room decoration and the stunning views at the hotel. The photographer was amazing helping me with our wedding proposal and capturing it on camera for us. The beach is stunning, plenty of sunbeds for everybody and lovely service from the towel hut and life guards. The Animation team are excellent. Very welcoming and polite always going out there way to get everybody involved in activities and suprising us on the evening of our engagement congratulating us. The food is beautiful, a wide variety and always something for everybody. During the day for the more fussy eaters the beach restaurant (snack bar) 12pm till 5pm has chips, burgers, hotdogs, pizzas etc available. I couldn't fault the hotel. It was a shame the main pool was closed for renovation although this is due to be complete by the beginning of March I was told. Hoping to return in the future 🥂🍹🐫🏝

Our stay at Barcelo Tiran Sharm was fantastic! The hotel is very clean, the service is excellent, and the drinks are always fresh and tasty. A special thanks to Ismail, one of the waiters – he is very friendly, professional, and always made sure we had everything we needed. He truly made our experience even better. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Sharm! 🤍
