Hotel Baron Resort

Built in February 1998, on 5 acres on the seafront in Ras Nasrani bay, the Baron Resort faces the Strait of Tiran, a famous site for scuba diving. About 12.5 miles from Naama Bay, you will find the tourist and boating centre in Sharm El Sheikh. The airport at Sharm is 2 miles away.

The customers are largely from Italy (60%), Switzerland and Germany (30%). Water sports can be enjoyed in Naama Bay. But not in front of the hotel for the seabed is covered with coral, as is often the case in the region.

With cold and massive exterior architecture, the Baron Resort consists of four one-storey buildings. The main building is shaped like a bay, which softens its large volume and its sharp lines. The gardens really lack vegetation, particularly around the swimming pool and on the path to the beach. The result: lots of concrete and overwhelming heat.

The 360 rooms of the Baron Resort are classified into four types: standard (some of which communicate), suites, luxury suites and royal suite (superb). All rooms are relatively spacious, and equipped with air conditioning, ceiling fan, television (22 channels), safe (free), telephone line with direct overseas access, mini bar and balcony or terrace. The bathroom has a shower in the standard rooms (a bathtub in the suites) and a hair dryer.

The hotel has five restaurants. The main restaurant serves international cuisine, buffet style, in a huge room (400 seats), surrounded by windows. The other four restaurants offer a la carte Italian, Indian, oriental and fish specialties. Six bars and a piano bar are also located on the site: the beach and the swimming pool (snacks), a billiard room, Internet access in the lobby (service 24/24).

The hotel has a very beautiful beach, the longest in Sharm El Sheikh (1,970 feet). Its width allows it to be equipped with many deckchairs, umbrellas and showers. The platform, where aerobic classes are offered with a musical background, is not very far - but those who want to be alone can easily do so because there is plenty of space. The curious people have the opportunity to admire the fishes and corals through a floating pontoon, about 165 feet long, located perpendicularly to the coast. You can also enter the water freely. The ground near the eastern coast is covered with corals, which prohibits water sports.
