The hotel itself is fine. Nice rooms, prefectly clean and huge too.
Pool is also good but there aren't enough sunbeds to go around.
Breakfast is ok too but no more than that.
My big gripe is with the Hilton Best Rate Guarantee.
I found it cheaper on hotels.com within 3 days and submitted my claim on 7/12/07. Finally got a reply 3 months later saying the hilton.com price is cheaper, so the claim is invalid. That may have been true 3 months later but it wasn't when i submitted the claim!!
Replied back, stated my case and have been ignored since despite numerous emails sent to [--], [--] and [--] who supposedly work in customer relations.

We stayed at the Hilton Dreams in December 2007. The hotel is nice enough, bigs pools, staff very pleasant & helpful and as a Hilton honors member we were given a very nice upgraded room near the front of the complex & reception.
I wouldn't like to have stayed in one of the rooms further away from reception as it would be quite a trek in the heat.
If you are a pool person and don't usually leave your hotel much then you will probably like this place.
The dining hall looks lovely, high ceilings, big glass windows and chefs are lovely and will happily cook you something special if you cant find what you want.
I am vegetarian and the chefs noticed this and made me a massive plate of fresh hot falafels which was very sweet.
Waiters are funny and there is the option to sit outside if you wish.
It can get very nosiy & "canteen-like" in the dining room, very bad acoustics, be warned. We prefered to sit outside and to be honest I would recommend going B&B and eating in one of the many places in Namma Bay instead - you really are spoilt for choice within 5 minutes walking of the hotel and the atmosphere is so much nicer plus you get a better variety.
The Dreams is situated on the wrong side of a busy dual carrigeway and you need to cross this road to get to the beach, shops etc. Ok if you are fit & healthy, but if you have mobility problems or small children I would recommend staying in the Hilton Fayrouz which is right on the beach with no roads to cross.
There are no pedestrian crossings, just an island in the middle of the road and the taxi drivers drive very fast and are constantly honking their horns and shouting at you looking for custom. It can get annoying when all you want to do is cross the road!!
If you are a pool person then maybe the road will not bother you, but there is some great snorkeling from the Fayrouz beach so it seems a shame not to experience it!
The Fayrouz beach is lovely & wide & sandy - the best in Namma bay infact! You exchange your pool card for towels on the beach.
In summary, if you can get a cheap deal then I would recommend this hotel BUT if you have mobility problems I would suggest the Hilton Fayrouz, Novotel beach or the Jollie Ville instead - all great hotels.
Out of town, I can also highly recommend the Hilton Waterfalls - a fantastic beachside hotel with great snorkelling and you can get some great rates directly on the Hilton website.

just got back from sharm dreams lets clear some things up about this hotel as so many of these reviews differ . this hotel is brilliant from arriving to leaving the staff work so hard to make your holiday perfect .we had a junior suite it had everything for a comfortable stay the grounds around the resort would not look out of place at the chelsea flower show.we ate in the tex mex restuarant good food and reasonable for a hotel of this size we were bed and breakfast this is the best to go as the lunches and evening meals were quite bland as some fellow guest had told us just a short walk is naama bay there is every type of food you could possible want and very reasonable in price alcohol beer is same as in uk shorts abit dearer but hey your on holiday enjoy the whole place is brilliant go to the sharm dreams go to naama bay its greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat see ya there again soon

We chose this hotel specifically from reviews on Trip Advisor.
We had stayed at Um El Cid previously in the Renaissance Golden View which was a fantastic hotel but we had to get taxis every night into Naama Bay which became a pain so decided to stay right in the centre this time.
The hotel is well laid out , beautifully presented and seems to have pools round every corner so none are crowded.
We went B and B only as all reviews on hotels on an All Inc basis were bad. The breakfast was like all buffet breakfasts - cereal/ fruit / saus/ toms/ bread/ cheese, eggs - all style etc and you could not complain at all.
The rooms are nice if in need of a little TLC but well looked after and have a fridge, free safe, tea/ coffee facilities and daily supply of shampoo/ cond etc. If you want a double bed you need to request them as most rooms appear to be twin beds.The hotel supply pool and beach towels which help with small luggage allowance .
The weather was perfect late 80's early 90's and not a cloud in the sky and the hotel had 2 heated pools which was good as they needed to be in March as water was cool.
To get to the beach you have to go across main road and through the Hilton Farooq which is not a problem at all and the Hilton beach is by far the nicest one along the front. Also you have free unlimited access to the Cleo Waterpark as a Hilton guest which is behind the hotel which we didn't discover till too late.
It is 5-10 mins walk to centre of Naama Bay where there are loads of restaurants at reasonable prices our favourite was the Chinese above shopping centre and the Pomodora. The locals do hassle you a bit to go in their shops but not as much as on our last visit.
At night walk along prom for happy hours but beware of the Gazala Beach bar as you will wait about 20 mins to get served!!
Overall we liked being nearer Naama Bay the snorkelling is good but is better at El Um Cid as you are actually on the reef . The Sharm Dreams was a lovely hotel and staff could not do enough for you.
