Three Corners Palmyra Resort

This "complex" is directly under the flight path of Sharm El Sheikh Airport with multi-engined aircraft taking off and landing at 10 to 15 minute intervals, day and night and passing over this hotel at between 200-300 feet.
The rooms are clean, but despite numerous requests the mini fridge was never stocked, no bottled water and basket of fruit appeared.
The swimming pools are clean and warm, the pool towels should have been given to the local dogs home, they were filthy!
Trying to get more than one toilet roll a day was impossible, so most folk resorted to stealing them from the public area loos, with predictable results.
Food, a high proportion of the guests were having deliveries of Big Macs and KFC delivered to the hotel but had to eat them in the reception area as you couldn't take them back to your room to eat. If you wanted to eat in the Chinese, Japanese or Belgium restaurant which in total had a combined seating of 32, for a hotel with a 400 to 500 guests was unnacceptable, but what really capped it you had to book your seat before you left the UK!!!

i M ONLY 13 BUT me and my 4 other members in my family had the most amazing time looking at the bad reviews it sounded as though i went to a total diffenent the hotel was fabulous the animation team was lovely not going to name any names because i might miss someone out food was lovely staff were lovely room and hotel pools gardens entertainment were AMAZING !!! lovely and i would go again anytime :)

we visited this hotel for a week in July. The hotel is definately not a four star, it is run down and tired. the food was terrible, left overs from the evening meal was served for breakfast!! the staff were friendly, but the hotel did allow sales men to come into the hotel and they hassel you every minute of the day.
BUT on day 5 of the holiday my husband became ill, he had a fever, vomitting and what we thought was the shaemm shuffle. he was ill for the rest of the week and spent the remainder of his holiday in bed. On returning to the UK he visited his GP, and after several tests he was diagnosed with a very infectious bacteria in his bowel... called shigella. Which is passed on from people going to the toliet and not washing their hands before they prepare food!!! faecal to oral contamination!!! this was definately contracted from the hotel. i have tried to contact the travel company who we booked with (Loe cost Holidays) and the hotel with no response. A week and half on my husband is still suffering.
would definately recommend you pay the extra and stay in a 4+ or 5 star hotel when visiting Egypt. we will not be returning again in the near future.

I think the russians must have gone by the time we got there! we heard lots of horror stories about other hotels in Sharm but this was one of the best. Lots of pools with the amimation team keeping you busy. Choice of food, some nice ,some not but you get that in any hotel. I am a very fussy eater and found something I liked each mealtime Rooms basic but spotless. All the staff were courteous and friendly and couldnt do enough for you. My sons girlfriend was poorly (and not because of the food) and they made up a fresh plate of fruit each day for her. If you wanted a break from the hotel you could get the free bus into Naama Bay or the little place down the road we haggled the price down and it worked. All in all we had a great holiday and would stay at this hotel again

this hotel is not 4 star more like 2. full of russians, food was slop cold and bland. entertainment was very poor 1 night of belly dancin wich you get charged 20 erous including meal which should have been included in all enclusive. out in middle of knowhere. free bus to narma beach. which is packed with rude ignorant russians. the hotel is basic and dull, rooms basic and dull. you get mithere to death about having photos took, massages day trips, mither round the pool. nothing to do at this hotel. dont beleieve the good reviews beleive me the food is horrible. anyone whos says its good as not obviously lived.staff friendly but of course they expect tips. the gym and sauna are not free. the night club is not included in all inclusive plus the other resteraunts are not in the package. and want 20 euros for set meals.. there taxis a rip off. the beach is basic . no snack bars etc.

We stayed at the Palmyra Resort Hotel for two weeks in October 2009.It did look Egyptian unlike alot of the other Hotels in Sharm. We had a great time. The hotel had a great selection of pools. Our room was large clean and really nice.The hotel staff had realised we had a 2 year old with us and we got a really nice room in a quiet location of the resort. It was cleaned every day and the cleaner was lovely and always came back in the evening as by the time he got to our room it was aroud mid day and my 2 year old was having her nap. The staff were very friendly and helpful. the only problem we had was a light bulb going in the bathroom but this was reported to reception and before we arrived back to the room it was fixed. The food was ok mostly meat/fish rice/potatoes and salad selections, deserts were good. There was very little fresh fruit available which was suprising.After the first week the menu was repeated so was a bit boring however we were all inclusive so could have ordered different meals for a reasonable price if required.As far as I am aware the food was fine we certainly had no problems eg tummy bugs and my young daughter was generally happy with the all inclusive menu except for lack of fresh fruit. the childrens menu left alot to be desired eg hot dogs or pasta but that was it. The on sight Doctor was excellent unfortunately we had to see him due to a boating accident which required several stiches to a cut to the head. be warned if you decide to go paragliding locally the boats are very fast and there is nothing to hold on to|its easy to get thrown out of your seat and hit the side of the boat.All in all an excellent holiday and we would stay at this hotel again.

Right! where do I begin!
fistly we was swopped from the 3 corners in narma bay to this hotel (which is a £30 taxi ride away from the town) they told us this was due to double booking! so we said fair enough and swopped. only to find out most english people had the same thing done to them! STRANGE DONT YOU THINK!
quick run down!
STAFF - Totally ignorant apart from the clearer! he was really nice!
FOOD - Shocking and gave us all the poorly tummy! which cost £30 to sort out
All Inclusive - hummmm only if your russian as they would ignore us at the bar!
Entertainment - Rubbish if you have kids and for adults in that fact!
ROOMS - nice and clean but only because the our clear was nice (we heard others had brown tap water)
POOLS - one pool was very dangerous and you cant get out of it! (serious!)
RECEPTION - total joke, it took 2 hours to check in!
the only good thing about this hotel was leaving! its a good job I had good company or I would have cried!
you will also read about the Mcd'S being delivered to your rooms. this is a really good idea but should not be because the hotel food is rubbish!
also if you do happen to ignore this message make sure you book ULTRA inclusive! you will see why when you get there! good luck!

The hotel is spotlessy clean and the staff can't do enough for you. The management are easily approachable, customer service and good customer relations seem to be their goal. This break for us was on a budget and it far exceeded our expectations.
My husband and I are a difficult pair to cater for because I am a vegetarian and my husband is a meat lover. We both gained weight on this holiday - we couldn't stop eating! There is so much food to choose from. The restaraunt staff can't do enough for you. If you mention a food or meal you'd like they do their upmost to ensure it's on the menu while you're there.
The cleaners in the rooms work very hard and the sheets/towells are changed daily. Check out some of the towell models/designs each day on your bed!
Sit back each day and relax in the lobby - a couple of glasses of wine go down a treat before a siesta! As soon as your glass is emptied another arrives on your table.
We would advise any family who want an excellent holiday on budget prices to try this hotel. fantastic value!
