Have just returned from a five night break to this hotel & it definitely was not long enough!

The hotel complex is huge, like a village in itself. We couldn't fault the service or cleanliness and you are treated like royalty.

The staff went out of their way to accommodate your every need.

The rooms were not only cleaned every day but even your personal belongings (clothes left on the floor from the night before) were folded or displayed artistically on your bed - great, but I remembered to hide my worn underwear after the first night!

The food was varied & very edible & I didn't hear of anyone at the hotel suffering from any stomach complaints which are quite common in Egypt. Local drinks which are included were fairly limited to the basics but nothing to complain about.

Organised evening entertainment is very hit & miss but if you are with a group of friends as I was, you can quite easily make your own fun (I think we were the entertainment that week). During the day, there are plenty of activities going on if you get fed up with laying in the sun on the nice padded loungers.

I must admit I was surprised that at this time of year, the sun disappears behind the mountains at about 3.30 and it's dark by 5ish but if you get up early you can still get a full days sun in as it is hot at 7am.

I would return to this hotel/resort tomorrow if I could - I had a fantastic time.

The hotel was beautiful,very clean and the staff were wonderful. They would do anything for you and did not expect to be tipped all the time.

Entertainment was none existent in the evening which was our only let down.

Food was very much the same, the chefs were fantastic and my daughters breakfast was always ready and cooked as soon as he see her.

There was a shuttle bus to their own beach and there was a lovely pool and bar down there.

El Wekala - 3 corners Taba Was very pleasantly surprised by standard of accomodation - it was excellent - clean and looked after. Air Con was a must!

Safe included - you set to your own PIN.
As much bottled water as you could drink. No need to take any towels - bath or beach with you!

Food was great - varied - something for everyone.

Staff were really friendly - couldn't do enough for you - my birthday was last day of stay - we went to "Chez Pascale" last night there - and pastry chef had made a cake - all waiters and chefs came out singing and dancing -fantastic.

Views fab - shuttle bus to beach and back regular and clean! Met some great people. Can't wiat to visit again!!

Hi
Egypt "it is so hot" you have to dip in the pool every 20 min just remember drink plenty of water.

The only thing wrong was the rubbish entertainment, but you meet people out there, as everyones so friendly you make your own entertainment.

If you go you have to book the trip to cairo it great you see all the pyramids the sphinx, golds museums and loads more.

The pool is really nice but i did prefer the beach cause it was cooler down there and more peaceful. "do the snorkeling it so good" you see so much!

Overall the hoilday was really "fab" and we are now thinking about booking up for next year.

Could not fault hotel for cleanliness but would describe all inclusive as really full board with drinks included to midnight only. There was no snacks in day for our kids.

Staff were friendly and helpful but were slow with service. Food was fine but repeative could have done with a bit of spice ,seating was diffcult for large groups.

Entertainment was the worst aspect of our holiday being virtually non existant of an evening, daily waterpolo aqua aerobics was ok. We all suffered upset tummies so take plenty of medication. Hotel needs to sort out entertainment as nowhere else to go.

Diving was excellent off Taba Heights with Waterworld. Would like to revisit in a few years to see if hotel could polish a basically good potential product.

I couldnt criticise anything about this holiday really, as I thought the hotel was amazing! The views are just surreal!!

Apart from the food being the same almost every night, it was quite good - there was always something there that you would like and eat. The cleanliness was of very high standard.

The location overall was great as you could take a shuttlebus to the beach, which comes every half hour and only takes about 5mins.

The staff were always friendly and very helpful although service was someimes quite slow. I thought the entertainment team were amazing!!

There was stretching, waterpolo, aqua gym, beach vollyball and table tennis throughout the days, and in the evening there would be a mini disco for the children followed by an evening show, such as oriental show, belly dance or even just games for fun!

There also had the club dances for everyone to join in.
The key to enjoying the entertainment is to join in!!

22/08/05 - 05/09/05 - Wow! This was the first holiday ever, when we've not been ready to come home at the end of the two weeks. We can't wait to go back.

We were slightly nervous when we arrived at Taba airport, to see all the luxury coaches lined up going to other hotels, then hidden behind them a mini bus (with the luggage on the roof!) that was going to the Three Corners. However our fears were groundless.

Upon arrival your luggage is taken to reception for you, where you're greeted with a cold flannel and a refreshing drink. (This is welcome, as the temperature was still in the 30's even at night!) You're then shown to your room, don't worry about your cases, somebody will bring them for you, (I'd suggest tipping the man that bring them about 20le) and left to relax. There's a bottle of water in your fridge which you can refill as often as you like from the chilled containers dotted around the resort.

The rooms are beautiful, all air conditioned and spotlessly clean. Throughout your stay the housekeeping manager will check up to make sure that everything is being done to your satisfaction. We had Muhammed cleaning our room, and he definately had a sense of humour, we came back to find the lamps dressed in caps and shades and messages written on the bed in petals! We tipped him each week (about 40le) and left him a pack of cigs which he was really pleased about.

The food throughout the holiday was fantastic, even though I'm vegetarian I never went hungry. The only critism I could give though, was that the food labels weren't always accurate, (Pasta with tomato sauce, may in fact contain minced beef!) There was always a choice of pasta and potatoes for the less adventurous along with salads, soups and freshly baked bread. I ate salad regularly and didn't get the dreaded Pharaohs revenge so I'm assuming it was washed in bottled water. The staff in the restaurant were again brilliant, with a somewhat wicked sense of humour, and the dessert chef deserves a medal!

The pool at the hotel is excellent, and if there are no sunbeds free, the man giving out the towels will find one for you. The animation team were unobrusive, if you didn't want to join in they didn't push. There is a kids club, which i understood was very good and there a few activities throughout the day (Yoga, Water Polo, Aqua Aerobics). However the entertainment is very low key and in the evenings if there is anything, it is generally over very early. Perfect for a relaxing holiday.

In the evenings we generally went in to Peanuts bar, and chatted the night away. (We tipped 20le on the first night, then at odd intervals throughout the two week.) Be warned though, the measures get bigger the busier it gets! Again the Egyption sense of homour prevails with the staff pretending to drop glasses and having peanut fights when its quiet etc.

The pool by the beach is generally quieter, its rare for the beds all to be taken, and if you do go to the beach it's easy to jump back on to the shuttle bus and go back to the hotel for lunch if you feel like it.

The snorkelling is amazing, there is a sand bank about 30 yards out from the beach which follows the reef all the way down the coast. The variety of fish is just awe inspiring, we saw Lionfish, Turtles, Parrot fish, Eels, Trigger fish and a Crocodile fish to name just a few. If you are a keen snorkeller then I would definately recommend the trip from Waterworld on the Henry de Monfreid. This is an all day trip which goes to Farun Island, where as well as snorkelling, for an extra fee (about

We stayed at the Three Corners from 14th to 21st July The hotel was very clean and the staff were great, very attentive, after just one day our waiter knew without being told what we liked to drink! The pool staff were very good and always on hand to put up the sunshades.

Food was of a very high quality but lacked variation, neither myself or my wife suffered upset stomachs.

The entertainment was pretty non-existant, apart from out last night when they put on an Egyptian show which was quite good.

We had a great holiday and would certainly stay at the hotel again.

My wife and myself stayed at the three corners resort hotel and we must say we had a fantastic holiday, the staff were excellent and was always on hand with the drinks, the rooms was spotless and the views fantastic.

The food was of very good standard and had a huge choice to cater for every ones needs, the entertainment was very poor but this did not spoil our holiday at all.

I would have no hesitation to recommend this hotel, they are building this resort with a golf course, shops and a maximum of 20 hotels when this is complete we will definitely return to this hotel, do go you will not be disappointed.
