I have just returned from visiting this hotel on the 23rd July for one week. I went on holiday with a friend as an escape from work and stresses. I had read that the area was quiet, however this is an understatement completely! The hotel is just 10 minutes from the airport which was well appreciated after a delay at the airport and the transfer issues. The hotel itself is lovely, clean and well staffed. We arrived at the hotel having discovered one of our suitcases was missing, nightmare for girls all round! We asked the hotel reception staff if they could offer us any help, for example take us to a shop to buy some clothes, they were rude and arrogant saying there was only the hotel shop which on our investigation should nothing but fake designer t-shirts and bags and belly dancing dresses, we bought a very shoddy bikini for 15 pounds and a tube of toothpaste for 5.50!!! we concluded we would have to just make do! Later in the week when the case was delivered to the airport from Hurgarda Airport we were sent to collect it at a cost of 35 pounds in the hotel taxi which appeared to serve most of the local area, no other taxi was available. The hotel takes the money for the taxi and pay the driver a pittance. The airport staff treated us like terrorists leaving an armed guard with us and barking orders at us. We later discovered from another rep that we should NEVER have been sent to the airport without our rep or a member of staff from the hotel, neither of them cared less!

As for the hotel itself, we complained after 4 days to the hotel manager that we felt that the hotel staff were being exceptionally rude to us and we believed this to be because we were both girls, we were given the impression we shouldn’t be out without a man! The manager was wonderful and spoke to the staff and there were some changes but not an overall change.

The food in the hotel is repetitive with a couple of themed evenings which are interesting !

The hotels entertainment is exceptionally poor with a man who plays keyboard and sings badly and encourages even worse singers to have a go ! Couple of shows with a handful of guests which were poor quality and about 45 minutes in length.

The local town is beautiful but even in peak season it was a ghost town, its also very expensive and you will end up paying more then you would in the UK. TGI Fridays, Costa and pizza hut a couple of shops and that’s about it. As pretty as it is you feel intimidated by the fact there are more staff there then customers.

When people say there is nothing there please take this literally, we went out on two day trips which were at least 2/3 hour drives just to get to places, there really is nothing there, great for relaxing by the pool but going to Egypt and not seeing anything but a pretty port and a hotel is disappointing, the only way to explore further like we did was to pay for trips out which were expensive.

Like other visitors in 10 years I would imagine it would be fantastic, they are very much trying to keep this area as an exclusive resort, however I know I wont be visiting again!

Just got back from a 2 week holiday at Three Corners Fayrouz. Would go back tomorrow. The hotel is fantastic. Very quiet and relaxing which is just what we wanted. There is still to be more added to the hotel which will be good.

Lovely big rooms, very clean. We had a fab view over the ocean, just as we had asked for.

The beach is very nice, lovely sun loungers. Only downside is that you are not able to walk straight into the sea, you will need sea shoes. However you can enter the sea via the jetty to see the reefs.

The staff at the hotel could not do enough for you, very helpful and very friendly. Especially Hamdy at the pool bar!

The restaurant offered a vast variety of food, however it is very continental. Despite this you will always be able to find something that you like. Don't be afraid to ask for more (on the meat etc), once the guys know you like bigger portions they will give them to you.

We got engaged during our holiday, when the hotel management found out they made this very special for us, with a cake and singing and dancing, very authentic!

If you are going with thomson and interested in doing excursions the hamata island hopping is brilliant, amazing snorkelling, virgin islands that are untouched and an overall fab day out.. The camel safari is unmissable. This takes you into a bedouin camp where you share food, singing and dancing, it is truely fantastic.

Overall the holiday was fantastic, we were sad to leave, and ready to plan our next trip to a three corners resort. If it is a relaxing, hot holiday you are looking for this will be perfect.

We have just returned from 2 weeks at the Fayrouz Plaza and we had a great time. We are a couple 28 and 26 and this is the perfect place to relax. There is not much going on and is a place to chill which is exactely what we wanted with great snorkelling and reefs.

all in all we had a great holdiay and would recommend this hotel and destination, for what you pay its well worth the money. The location is not for people who want a mad night life its for relaxing and a chilled holiday.

Just got back from a week at the Three Corners hotel with my friend and had a fantastic time. The hotel was great - very clean and well maintained. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was situated right on the beach with free parasols and sunbeds, and a lagoon for amazing snorkelling.

The pool was huge and very clean, with the main pool flowing over into a smaller pool below and fantastic views of the beach and sea.

There were three bars - lobby bar, pool bar and beach bar. The pool bar serves until the pool closes at 7, and the other two open till early hours (but drinks only all inclusive until midnight).

There was a small 'animation' (entertainment) team, who put on activities during the day such as water polo, water aerobics and football, and then shows in the evening in a small amphitheatre area.

The food was great - breakfast and dinner served in the main restaurant, and lunch available in both the restaurant and beach bar. Plenty of variety and choice (just not alot of fruit!!)

In terms of location - it is 5 mins from the airport, but nothing else close by.The brochure is misleading as it implies that it is situated next to a marina with shops & restuarants etc. This is actually a 20 min walk away, although the hotel do run a shuttle bus service to it several times a day for £1.50 return. The marina however is still currently being developed - there are several hotels, a TGI Fridays, Pizza Hut, Baskins Robins, 2x Costa Coffee shops and a fabulous Egyptian Bar/Returant, which was very authentic despite being a brand new building!

Overall it was a great holiday destination and suitable for all ages - the only exception would be for young people wanting alot of nightlife/bars/clubs etc. I would highly recommend it for a relaxing, sun drenched week or two!
