We are booked for end of July 2006 and not read any reviews, but now I've seen it is not even open yet until early next year, not surprising (supposed to be open November). Hopefully everything will be finished and operating normally by the time we get there. We got a great price too with My Travel for AI.

I am also going to the St George next October. Someone somewhere must have seen it when passing!!!!
I have heard that it is on the hilltop (was in a brochure but not in the one I booked through). It wasnt mentioned when I booked. We have 2 kids aged 2 & 8, and I can already imagine the tantrums at having to walk up the hill at the end of a hot sticky day!!!
Any info would be appreciated.

I have been checking the Three Corners website - but it still says "Open November 2005" - so no information at all. Also checked Sharm maps and the hotel hasn't been put on there as yet. Maybe we will have to wait until it is open. If it is at the top of a hill - and I can't remember reading about it - it should be stressed, especially travelling with a young family/and people with walking difficulties.

I have booked the above for July 2006. On checking their website the hotel has disappeared from the site (it was there previously, due to open November 2005). On reading earlier reviews I read that someone who had booked for January 2006 has now been moved to another hotel (I think another Three Corners Resort) as St Georges will not be ready in time. Does anyone have any info please, as I'm getting a little anxious.

Hi, I e-mailed the hotel chain direct about my concerns and this is their reply:

"Dear M. Dawn,

interest in our property Saint George Three Corners Hotel.

Re your inquiry in your e-mail please note that the hotel is due to open

we've just got back from sharm in the ras um sid area and iwe thought it was the best area in sharm plenty to do the area its not on a hill as it might sound.naama is only £3 in a taxi but if you go to ras um sid theres a place called fantasia thats all lit up at night plenty to do there and on the road at the side theres an eaterie called the columbus which serves steak and pepper sauce to die for also very cheap it cost about £4.90.sharm is a fantastic place we wish we were back there. so the st george is in a really good area

Hi just looking to book my family hols here and was wondering if anyone has any photos that they could post so i could get an idea on if this hotel would suit my brother whos disabled.

Also I understand that this hotel/complex is 10 mins from the airport, are there any problems with noise?

Otherwise its a toss up between this one and Dreams

I have just seen this hotel on Med hotels web site for £129 a week!.With flights from around £89 this must be the bargain of the year!.I just wish someone would post a review.

Hi Jay
Is this hotel open yet? I'm getting confused as there are so many 'three corners', presumably it is open otherwise Med hotels wouldn't have it on their site. What a bargain! I'm looking for something in April.

Hi
I have booked today a week at Kiroseiz 3 corners with med hotels.
commencing the 8 January

I looked at St Georges but I undersatand the opening has been put back to the 7 Jan - three corners own web site.

And med hotels I think has taken it off for the 8th.

Thompson is still selling it for mid Jan.

I called into a Thomson Travel Agent today and asked for a price on the St George and was quoted £660 for 2 weeks!(each).When the agent tried to get pictures and info on her system she couldnt as no info was available.The price was for Feb23rd from Newcastle.With Med Hotels having it for £129 a week I have to find a flight for less than £400 as thats what Thomson are charging on top of the price for the hotel.
