The Hilton Sharm Waterfalls has been among Sinai's most beautiful hotels since it opened in 2000 in Hadaba, one of the city's busiest areas for new resort construction. The view from Hadaba all the way to Naama bay is unparalleled, especially at night.
The lobby, with its honey-colored alabaster stone walls, marble floors, paintings of the hypostyle hall at Karnak and columns that could be called faux-Philae—after the pillars topped with lotus leaves at Philae's famous Temple of Isis—may be the most Pharaoic-looking place in Sharm,
The hotel has a greater variety of cuisines than almost any in Sharm, offering Lebanese, Italian, seafood and South American restaurants
as well as the buffet in the La Cascade main dining room.
Health-conscious guests appreciate the health club, tennis and football courts and the Health Club Pool Bar, which offers healthy food choices as well as standard fare. The Kids' Club and playground, the two children's pools among all seven (two heated in winter) and the animation team make this resort an excellent choice for families.
The rooms, decorated in desert colors and subtle coral and dark green, are as beautiful outside as in. The two-story villas—pure white with green-painted wood trim and elegant wrought-iron balustrades that make each roof the perfect, breezy place for sea viewing and strolling—are 
arranged in terraces all the way down the steep hill, so that exquisite sea views abound.
Getting up and down the hill is easy. The self-service funicular is Sharm's best, as it's flanked by terraced waterfalls, decorated with graceful plants that give the resort its name. These green jewels are among the highlights of a feast of foliage that begins with the exotic darasina trees in wood boxes that adorn the lobby.
Most of the rooms—some of which connect with other rooms—overlook the sea. All are decorated in subdued beige, peach and sage green colors, and all have air conditioning, direct-dial phone, satellite TV, minibar and coffeemakers, hair dryer and safety 
deposit boxes. Rooms do not have Internet service.
If there's a place in Egypt that more closely resembles paradise as Middle Easterners understand it—the word literally means "walled garden"—one would not have to look long to find it. If you're a plant lover, you may want to spend more time walking through the gardens than sunning on the beach.
The staff is helpful and affable, treating you as though your question is the most important one they'll handle all day. No one says "I don't know"—they invariably find someone who does know.
