Three Corners Ocean View Hotel

The location of this hotel is superb being right on the marina, the cleanliness of this hotel was excellent as was our room after we requested a move, as we had no balcony.
The food is a bit repetitive so we used the dine around scheme 2 - 3 times a week. The entertainment is poor to say the least, you see the animation team in Mexico and think that the shows they put on in Egypt would be to the same standard but it isn't. I ordered an Irish coffee and it cost me £ 2 to get a luke warm cup so beware.
Over all the holiday was excellent value for money but perhaps we will use the Rehana the next time as it is right in downtown El Gouna and easier to do a bit of shopping.
We had been to Hurghada before but we decided to do the city tour and we were not let down there was so much more to see and do and the shops they took you to were excellent. We will be back in the next few years.

Have now visited this resort twice and had a great holiday on both occasions. Stayed at the Three Corners in Sep 05 for a week and wished it had been longer. Great hotel fantastic position and excellent food, very clean rooms and helpful staff. We liked it so much we are returning Nov 07 for two weeks.
This resort is truly beautiful and the weather is always sunny, on our first visit we were told it had not rained for at least 3 years and on our second we played a game called spot the cloud, nobody won that one, it was difficult to see where the sea ended and the sky started. Bliss.

An excellent holiday, the weather was fab. The hotel we couldn't fault, it was clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The perfect relaxing holiday.
There was a wide selection of food all of a good standard.
There were 2 pools one a very quiet one perfect for relaxing.
Small amount of shops in the resort, but enough for buying gifts and reminders of a lovely holiday.

Fabulous hotel, we stayed here for 1 week in June and had such a fantastic time...all the staff are soo friendly and polite. The decor is lovely and our rooms were spotless every day.
This hotel is in a superb location. Marina Views one side and Red sea views the other side.
The trips to Cairo, Luxor and Quad biking are highly recommended we did all these three trips and loved every minute of them.
We have only been back in the UK 22 hours and we don’t usually post praises but I would recommend anyone to visit this hotel...couple...family...single.
The restaurant has a fantastic variety of food and the animation is fantastic for children.
From Aqua Aerobics to Arabic speaking lessons. All the Egyptians we met were very helpful and friendly.
A class - top hotel *****

What a holiday! I have never felt so welcome - the staff just could not do enough for you. Our room was very spacious with a king-size bed and a massive balcony which overlooked the marina. The view was superb.
We were located above Peanuts bar which did get quite noisy in the early hours on a couple of occasions, but wasn't such an issue to want to give up our room.
The food was fine in the buffet restaurant but the evening meal was a bit limited...a bit plain for our liking with the same dishes on offer most nights. We took full advantage of the dine around option. What a great idea!
We enjoyed Chez Pascal a couple of times, really great steaks in here! We also tried the Moroccan restaurant and an Italian in downtown. We ended most nights in Peanuts bar, where we enjoyed the best Irish Coffee ever!
The head barman, Cheban, went out of his way to look after us.... as did the manager, Usaf.
The excursions we did were wonderful. We went on a 4 x 4 safari 125km into the desert! Our convoy of 4 vehicles enjoyed a white knuckle ride over very rough terrain. We had the craziest driver it has to be said - what the other Jeeps went around we simply flew over the top! Not for the faint hearted!
We also went on a 5 hour quad bike experience - absolutely wicked! Along with Dune Buggies, camel riding and a visit to a Bedouin village it was superb and definitely a trip not to be missed.
We took another excursion to an island (name escapes me) where we caught a boat from Hurghada. We tried snorkelling - but I was scared to death as we dropped off into a huge swarm of jellyfish the size of dinner plates! They were harmless but nevertheless freaked me out! The island itself was beautiful and we enjoyed our lunch there.
We have already decided to return - which is unheard of usually as I am one for trying different places. This was a truly great holiday. Enjoy your time there as much as we did!

This hotel is fab and although we’ve only been back 36 hours, we're thinking of going back in April.
Firstly our room was very nice and very spacious on the ground floor and about ten paces from the swimming pool.
Although an elderly couple in the next room asked to be moved as it was to noisy but this did not bother us in the slightest.
We had twin beds although we asked for a double but we just pushed them together.
On one particular night we were a bit merry and slept apart and the room cleaner left us a massive heart on the bed made out of towels the following day.
The hotel itself was very clean and immaculate; the cleaners were always around and always cleaning. Even the whole marina and the area we stayed was extremely clean, I was scared to drop any litter. This was never a problem as bins are everywhere.
The food in the hotel was very good, they catered for various nationalities. My partner is very picky about what he eats, but I was very surprised he ate more there than he does at home. This included veg and salad.
The waiters are very helpful, and can explain what most of the dishes are if you are not sure.
Our room was next to the swimming pool on the ground floor, we could walk out of our room and we were only 8 foot way from the pool, this was great. There lots of spots around the pool, where you can be in the sun all day, or shade, and even a bit of each. This was great for me as I love the sun, but it was nice to find some shade.
The temperatures through the week only went as low as 22 and as high as 29. The wind varied throughout the week, but this didn’t worry us at all you just made sure you had a fleece or coat incase. It would start to get colder after about 7 once the sun had gone down.
The hotel is in a great location, and has some of the best views of the Red Sea and the marina. And we cannot wait to go back.

Just returned from a week holiday in the three corners ocean view hotel. Had a fab week. The hotel is not too large which to myself and husband is very good. You get to know the staff well and are not just numbers. The hotel is run by Europeans and not Egyptians which helps with the service. Nothing is too much for them.
When booking our holiday we were informed that there was a shuttle boat to the beach 30 metres away, but unfortunately when we arrived this service had been stopped and replaced by a bus which take 15 minutes. We were very disappointed about this as we are beach goers.
This did not spoil our holiday as the hotel was excellent. The Abu Tig Marina is beautiful with lots of places to eat and drink, and also a few shops.
All in all a very good holiday, and would definitely go back.
Be prepared Hurghada can be very windy!

We have just returned from our first ever visit to Egypt and loved every moment of it.
From the moment we walked into the hotel we couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome.
I went with my husband and two of my sons aged 13 and 11,who also feel the same as I do.
The hotel surroundings are lovely, and the hotel is so clean.
Food is good and caters for all and staff are so helpful.
We went on the day Luxor trip ,its along day(4.45 - 23.30)but well worth the money and Mamyas island trip, this was also great and good for snorkeling weather you have done it before or not.
The only slight downside was football was shown in the bar where the entertainment was usually on so they brought some of it to the main bar .This wouldn’t normally be a problem but one woman insisted in trying to turn it into a sing along every night and had everyone trying to run and hide in the three corners.

This Hotel was excellent it was clean the food was good and the location was lovely. It would say that if you want a holiday to unwind and be pampered then this is the one for you. It is not ideal as an activity holiday unless you like to dive or snorkel.
Did go on the Cairo tour offered by Thomas Cook and this was excellent worth the 7 hour coach trip. All the staff spoke English and all were only too willing to help. If you have children then do not go to this hotel as it does not really have much on offer for children. I went for 3 weeks to unwind and recharge the batteries and I am hoping to do it again.
The only downside to the holiday was the Thomas Cook flight as the seats were very cramped in and there was very little space.

Been to El Gouna 4 times, gave the 3 Corners Ocean View a try this time. What a mistake - take my advise pay a little extra money and book the Movenpick. 4 of us went out as 2 couples, were given adjoining rooms next to stairs, lifts and janitors cupboard, the rooms were also over the kitchens so we were all treated to a very noisy stay!
We requested a sea view and got a reception view.
Staff were good, but the food was boring and doing the dine around in the 3 Corners hotels just proved how bad things were. Flew Excel Air (Astraeus uses them), avoid them like the plague.
My advice = avoid Longwood, Thomas Cook are the best, fly with Thomas Cook, book the Movenpick, do bed and breakfast, then get out and about, some brill places and its possible to get a good deal to see the sights in Cairo if you ask in the right places :o)
El Gouna really is a great place to visit!
