We have just returned from this hotel after an 11 night stay.
This was our 5th visit to Sharm so we knew what to expect from the hotels, people etc.. How ever, I do feel that some of the glowing reports on here are misleading, perhaps from first time visitors to Sharm...anyway here goes...

The Three Corners Palmyra is a nice hotel, well laid out albeit very tired looking, The location leaves a lot to be desired there are building sites all around it, no other hotels nearby, there is no cash machine, the nearest is a 20 min walk away. If you venture into Nabq there is a nice little shopping centre - very new - and a new supermarket called Metro supermarket, very cheap and clean.

The generous pool areas are reasonably clean but the pools are not the easiest to get in and out of, they have steep sloping sides and very few steps except for one end of the main pool near the 'swim up bar' the staff as others have said are very polite, friendly and helpful..BUT

The spirits are regularly watered down as are the soft drinks, we witnessed this happening on several occasions - on our first day we saw one Russian guy actually empty his 'Vodka' into the main swimming pool in protest!! (we got out of there double quick!) also not enough sunbeds, everyone reserved their sunbeds every day by placing the hotels blue and white striped towels on them - The main pool is extremely noisy , be prepared to be woken (if you dare to take a lie in) by Queen singing 'We will rock you' at 10am every morning followed by the Three corners song which is on a par with the creativity of the Smurf song and sounds like the same singer too!! - the animation team who work very hard - I would say they are over zealous ....are constantly shouting over a microphone to encourage guests to join in, if they won't then they will come around the sunbeds shouting for you to join in the vollyball, the darts, the table tennis, the belly dancing, The kids pool is a bit quieter, you can still hear the shouting and the music but the bonus is you can also hear yourself speak!!
...If you can't find a sunbed (later than 9.30am - then no chance) you can take a trip to the hotels own beach on their own hotel bus.
The beach is at the end of Sharks Bay, at first it looks like you are going to one of the nicer hotel beaches but the Palmyra's is down a filthy dirt track surrounded by loads of black bags with rubbish spilling out of them - the bus then stops at the top of a very steep set of steps - ok going down but coming up in temps of 45degrees is not funny! - the beach is a public one with sunbeds and parasols, its not very clean and is plagued by blokes trying to sell everything from trips to banana rides, if you book the quad bikes here they are cheap at £14 each - you get what you pay for - the quads are crap, very overused and worn tyres with no tread, the crash helmets were rubbish too!, a couple of our quads kept breaking down which spoilt the experience for the first timers in our party. We have taken the quads out from other hotels every time and always had really good bikes, from the Hilton it was £20 each and worth every penny! -
the hotel beach 'bar' is a complete joke but the guy working there is very nice and very obliging, but no alcohol just watered down soft drinks and the 'lunch' is a small (and i mean small) roll filled with meat and the dreaded lettuce! You can always eat at the beach cafe, very nice pizza's, burgers etc...reasonably priced too.

However the saving grace for the beach is the variety of fish you can see when snorkeling, the best yet in five years! However, the numbers are dwindling due to certain peoples feeding them bread (which poisons them) so that they can take photos of the fish en-masse, also due to amount of people who stand on the coral which the fish need to feed on - this kills the coral and in turn the fish (as well as the poisonous bread)

The pool area is also plagued by the masseurs who will ask to check your hand then diagnose that you have a problem - what type of problem is known only to them but this can be cured by a ridiculously over priced massage - be prepared to haggle on everything from massages, haircuts, facials - waste of money by the way - if the guy with 'Egyptian' cotton comes around and tries to remove hair from your face, promising you it will never grow back - don't believe him Ladies! it hurts like hell and you still have a moustache..!!

The reception / communal area is swarming with flies (as are the pool and dining areas) there are no fly traps or other such devices to minimise the constant annoyance of having to swipe them away from your face, food, drinks etc...The whole complex is supposed to be fumigated every day but we witnessed this only twice during our stay...

The gardeners work very hard to maintain the 'greenery' watering with a manure-based system everyday - the smell is horrendous and will definitely put you off of your breakfast / lunch / dinner.

The food was ok but repetitive- beef, lamb, pasta, fried fish bits, very small bony pieces of chicken - much worse than other hotels we have stayed in Sharm (The Hilton, The Sierra, The Three corners St George, the Coral Beach Montaza) they had a much wider choice and were able to cater for the amount of guests they had, which was not the case at the Palmyra...this was high season and as more guests arrived the queues became longer and the food scarce...watch the lettuce as quite a few people had tummy bugs which were attributed to the lettuce being washed in the tap water and then left sitting in about 3 inches of tap water in the cabinets!!
The kids corner consisted of 2 different dishes at each mealtime, and various small desserts.

Naama Bay is very commercialised now - 5 years ago and up to last year it was cheap, now the bars will rip you off, we sat at one of the street ones where they said the pipes were free and beer was £2 - however, 2 G&T's, 2 Pina coladas, 2 pepsi's and 2 beers later we were given a bill for £50 - we protested then the bill was changed to £35 - a complete rip off, I wish i could remember the name - its the one with lots of fairy lights and cushions on the floor - its in front of a small supermarket, past pacha and at the end of the strip near to little Buddha - lots of these places so just be aware...

We are all Egypt out now and this was an ok holiday - despite my rantings - If this is your first trip to Sharm then you won't know any better and will probably enjoy it..... just make sure that if you book this hotel you pay a really cheap price - you'll be sick if you pay loads as there are much nicer hotels nearer to Naama Bay.

PS Whilst we were there last week we heard that the Sierra had been closed due to an outbreak of Salmonella poisoning, some of the guests were brought to our hotel and other shipped home!

My partner and I have just come home from the 3 Corners Palmyra.

Though we managed to enjoy ourselves being ILL isnt nice and the normal UK meds didnt work at all.
Cairo is a long day trip but well worth it.
There are much better hotels in Sharm, even other 3 corners.

I spent a week here with my Mum back in April. This was our first visit to Egypt and having passed a few hotels on our transfer from the airport , we were apprehensive about the quality and cleaniness of the resort we had booked for our stay. We need not have worried...Three Corners was wonderful!!!

The staff were fantastic and could not do enough for us, making us feel welcome and keeping us entertained for the duration of our stay. The food was lovely and there was always a wide variety of dishes to choose from, something to suit everyone. The fresh pancakes and omelettes for breakfast were a great start to the day!! The varied on site entertainment meant that we didn't feel the need to leave the resort in the evening and spent many a night in the Oriental Corner or by the lobby bar being waited on hand and foot.

The resort was spotlessly clean and the on site facilities were good. There are a number of pools around the resort so regardless of whether you are looking for a fun lively holiday or a lazy relaxing holiday, you will find a pool (and sunloungers!) to suit.

Although the hotel isn't situated directly on the beach, it was only a short bus ride away. The hotel put on regular air-conditioned shuttle buses to and from the beach, free of charge. When you get there, there is an area designated for Three Corners guests with a small beach bar which serves soft drinks and sandwiches/rolls for lunch, included in the all-inclusive option.

All in all, we had a fantastic time and are hoping to book again soon. Big thanks must go to Ahmed and all his staff for making our stay so enjoyable.
