Has anyone reading this been to the Three Corners Resort at Sharm El Sheikh. This is the Hotel at Kiroseiz not the one at Hourgada. Apparently it only opened in March and does not appear anywhere except in the First Choice brochure. We have been offered a good all inclusive deal but I dont want to be responsible for booking what could turn into a nightmare as we are going with friends.
Can anyone help? :?

Hi Chas
Ive just seen your request and I have asked the same question. I think you must be there right now so when you get back could you let us know how you got on. If its the same hotel at Kiroseiz that is in the First Choice brochure.I hope you had a great time otherwise its Tenerife here we come.
Thanks alot
SueBu :)

I have just booked a family holiday to Sharm. We will be staying in the Three Corners Resort and would appreciate if anyone who has stayed there before or knows of this hotel can give us their impressions on what the hotels like and it's facilities.

Many thanks.

Hi, Although we haven't stayed at the Three Corners Hotel, I have just been looking into it as a possible for a holiday to Sharm in May. There are a lot of sites giving info etc and the best one for pictures is:

Looks really nice. It's All Inc. and quite near to Naama centre. If I find out more I'll do a 'post'.
Did you book with First Choice holidays direct (telephone), they have quoted us the best price so far, for 1 week AI on 12 May from Newcastle £440 each.

Still looking !!!

Thanks Ray,

We did book with FC, have also visited the Three Corners web site and the resort does look nice. However just a little worried that there does not seem to be any independent information or reviews on the Three Corners Kiroseiz Resort hotel it self.

Please can you post other sites giving info.

We decided in favour of the Three Corners over the Coral Sea Hotel because the Coral Sea is still a building site.

Really looking forward to visiting Egypt for the first time. If you do decide on the Three Corners please post back your impressions (we go in the August).

Thanx

Has anyone stayed here?

Don't know if to risk the Coral Sea Resort to be finished in July :?: or to go to the Three Corners.

HI, sorry I haven't been to the Three Corners BUT I am seriously considering it for a week in May with First Choice Hols, from Newcastle at a good All Inc. price.
I have found a couple of info sites with good pics:

I can't find out exactly where the hotel is situated in Sharm, I think it is quite near to Naama Bay town centre, but not within walking distance, and is about 1Kilometer to the beach.

If anyone has more info about location I'd appreciate it.

Still deciding whether to go for it or not???

Hi, The only reviews I can find about the Three Corners-Sharm are on Holidays Uncovered, Egypt - scroll down to "Three Corners Resort".

I am still looking, but the First Choice price seems to have just dropped by about £50 per person for 12 May, so I need to make my mind up quickly. I am unsure about the exact location of the hotel, I think it's quite near to Naama Bay centre??

If anyone has more details about location, please let me know.

Cheers,
RAY.

The Kiroseiz is located less than half a mile up the hill on the way back to the airport, from the east side of Naama Bay. It is therefore much closer to Naama Bay than the Coral Sea but it does not have its own beach. The closest beach is at Naama Bay and yes that would be a good 1 km.

Most of the bars, restaurants, shops and banks are located on the west side of Naama - another 2 km away. But in the evenings it is a pleasant walk either along the main road or along the Corniche ( which will be a bit longer ) and if one is tired one can always take a taxi on the way back.

I have nt seen inside the Kiroseiz but assume it is similar to other large new resort hotels of the area. I would recommend opting for BB with that location as it is easy to get into Naama Bay.

Hi Swisssinai, Thanks for the info about location, it is really useful.
As you obviously know the Sharm area well, can you please tell me if the "walk along the main road" from the three corners hotel into Naama Bay centre, is safe, i.e. is it through a 'built-up' / residential area or 'open road'? I ask because we will want to go into Naama centre most nights for a meal/drink and to meet friends, and if we can walk there early evening we will usually taxi back if it's late. How much would you expect a taxi to cost to/from Naama centre, if we were staying at the Three Corners, are taxi's easy to get?

You also mention that the walk along the Corniche will be a bit longer, is this a more pleasnat walk than along the main road (is it the coastal road), how much longer would it take?

Is there much else around/near the Three Corners hotel, or is it stuck out on it's own?

Sorry to ask so many questions about this, but never having been to Sharm, and only being able to go for one week, I don't want to waste too much time getting our bearings, and if we have to "taxi" everywhere it all adds to the cost.

Any info or advice will be much appreciated

Cheers,
RAY.

Ray... go to http://www.goredsea.com and then into the map section of Sharm el Sheikh. Click the Naama Bay area. The Kiroseiz is located just before the number 14 and where the cinema sign is. The main road is the orange road. The corniche runs along the sea. The centre of town is the area around King Bahrein St and Sultan Qubus St.

Very safe walking and a taxi would cost LE 10 if you are clever and LE 20 if you are generous. For exchange rates go to http://www.nsgb.com.eg

Hope that helps

Hi, we are still looking BUT it is very likely that it will be the Three Corners Resort Hotel in sharm for a "quick" week in May. Price is good at £376 each for All Inc. flying from local airport (10 mins away!). The hotel looks really nice from it's own web site,

http://www.threecorners.com/hotels/kiroseiz/location.htm

OR

http://www.threecorners.com/gallery/hotels/kiroseiz.htm

But only found a couple of reviews (Hols Uncovered) one good, the other not so! It seems as if it is quite new and only First Choice are offering it in the UK (I think). There are a number of foreign sites with limited info.
I was more interested in it's actual location in Sharm, as it seems to be a few Kilometers outside of Naama Bay centre, but still within easy reach ???

If we do go, I will do a full review etc on my return.

If anyone has upto date info, please let me know?

Cheers,
Ray.P

We have booked with Eclipse Direct via the net and it was cheaper than First Choice!

Looking forward to a great holiday.

Hi, I think that there may be some confusion about which THREE CORNERS HOTEL is being referred to here?
There seems to be various Hotels in the "Kiroseiz - Three Corners" chain, the one in the HT review is listed as being in HURGHADA, yet the review itself states Naama Bay ?? The one I am interested in is definately in SHARM, near to Naama Bay, a few kilometers out of the centre on the road to the Airport (I think).
The HT review also states that "it is along way out of Naama", but SwissSinai has reported in previous posts that the Hotel is only a short way from central NB, walkable or taxi.
Confused or what?!? :roll:
Can anyone help?

P.S. Just checked 'Eclipse Direct' online, same holiday/flight etc as First Choice, and almost £100 each dearer ! :yikes ! I'll give them a miss.

There are various Three Corners hotels.... in Hurghada, El Gouna, Taba Heights, and just off Naama Bay. They were operating another one in Nabq but appear not to be doing so any more.

Go to the maps section of Sharm on http://www.goredsea.com and the Three Corners Kiroseiz is where there is a cinema sign on the way out of Naama on the left hand side of the road going back up to the airport.

I've now added all the hotels listed in the Three Corners website:- http://www.threecorners.com/
