I used trip advisor to research hotels in Egypt prior to my stay, all of the reviews were very positive except a few complaining about 'chavs' (true). Due to the timing of our trip, the Easter holidays, we didn't recieve some of the discounts other people did, which may be the reason my review may not be as positive as others.

I booked through travelrepublic, who are brilliant, this is the third holiday I have booked through them. Upon arrival our bags were taken from the coach and delivered to our room and we were treated to orange juice delivered via a silver tray (nice touch). We were given directions to our room and found it quickly, a bell boy later arrived and smirked as we were sitting in the dark, you need to put your room key in to make the hotel room work. We had a quick laugh with him and he gave us directions to the restaurant. We arrived in the restaurant, having never been all inclusive, we must have looked a bit shell shocked as the manager approached us saying, 'first time?'. He was very friendly and showed us what to do. The food is clearly aimed at western society and I can't blame them for catering to our needs, imagine the uproar if they didn't! I am the fussiest eater but always ate well, my boyfriend likes to try new and local dishes was far from impressed with the buffet, although being a man, still piled his plate high!

Being a teacher I had come away for a relaxing break, maybe try the spa, drink cocktails by night and sunbathe by day. There are two pools, one quiet and one noisy, both have the feeling of being packed in like a tin of sardines. Brochures and websites describe the pool area as, 'roomy', it is far from. People are literally laying next to each other. On our second day we spotted a raised platform hidden behind trees close to the quiet pool. This was our best find of the holiday, few people knew about it, and at most about 15 other sunbathers would be there. It was just a square of tiles, well spaced out sunbeds, it is surrounded by beautiful plants and flowers and is truely quiet. If you have come for a relaxing holiday that is the place to be. The sunbeds are comfy, have padding and towels are free. It is about 20metres from the pool, which is freezing, but fine once you're in. The pool was always quiet but people literally position their sunbeds around the pool so it can feel a bit like 'big brother is watching you'.

As I said previously this holiday was my first 'all inclusive' and I must say I wouldn't do it again, we breathed a sigh of relief when we got the hotel shuttle bus down to Naamba Bay. We walked around first before deciding on a restaurant. Ladies be warned, cover up, the men are not backwards in coming forwards! We chose a lovely restaurant and had a gorgeous meal by candle light on the beach front. I we had steaks and cocktails the meal cost little over £15. We enjoyed the experience so much we returned the following day. Again, I cannot stress covering up enough, my boyfriend was asked to trade me in for camels, men tried to reach out to touch me, shouts of, 'lucky, lucky man' could be heard wherever we went. I think its blond hair but i'm glad I was wearing a cardigan both my boyfriend and I felt quite intimidated but when you see other girls flirting and egging them on its hard not to feel sorry for them, they must feel very confused due to the different reactions. We tended just to smile and walk away or say a firm 'no thanks'.

One thing that did annoy me at the hotel was the constant badgering from the spa and managers of the restaurant. Every day a women from the spa would attempt to convince me to have a full body exfoliation or a facial, I think I came home with about 5 of thier pricelists. I would have taken advantage of the spa but their prices were crazy, much higher than i'd pay in England. The hotel manager would offer us the opportunity to go to the beach for a meal and dancing on a Saturday night, he would be friendly wed-thurs and be a bit more persuasive on Friday if the uptake waslow.

The service was great, I have never been to a hotel where staff are so friendly and attentive. Our cleaner Manny was lovely and the cleaners literally clean inside and out! The hotel cannot be faulted on service and cleanliness.

I wouldn't come back to this hotel, mainly because there are so many others to choose from. I'd also be tempted to choose a hotel in Naamba Bay so I don't have to go all inclusive. My parents have been to Egypt and their hotel was a huge complex with more restaurants, bars and pool choice. Plus the wine wasn't drinkable unless mixed with lemonade and the cocktails rearely tasted as they should and were so strong, their vodka is truely remarkable!

WARNING - please, please don't use the taxi touts, my boyfriend and I were naive enough to be trapped into a conversation with one and it was going swimmingly until the taxi driver and tout disagreed on a price. This resulted in a high speed journey and me sleeping with one eye open! Where possible get the shuttle bus. We chose to get a hotel taxi one night, although I think the hotel taxi drivers (who charge tripple) have 'friends' who meet their taxis and convince people to buy things from them. We were asked what time we were coming home, given a card and led into a small shack, offered drinks, potions and papyrus! It felt quite intimidating especially when he shut the door and started putting potions on us. Its hard not to feel sorry for some of them and its just their way of life.

If you are looking for a good holiday, brilliant tan, hot weather, simple food, brilliant service then this hotel is for you!

My husband and I after 20 years married, decided to review are wedding vows on the 19 April 2008, as we did not have the wedding we wished to begin with or a honeymoon.
we had neaver been to egypt and did not know what to expect. Flight over is not worth mentioning or our return. the hotel well we had a great time, our room was lovely and had a lot of space, are cleaner was great. Even bring some biscuits to our room when he new it was our honeymoon, food if you are a meat eatter is great, I do not eat meat so had salads and pasta. at the end of our stay we mentioned it and I had spring rolls cooked and veg curry which was good. On site their is a health and spa which we used, Simon who was at our welcome meeting sorted a great package out for us, and sorted out on our last day to have hair washed and dried and my husband a shave. the also have shops on site and a must is to vist geroge he is great he works in the herbal shop and sorted my knee out. The hotel has a docter who is first class and helped us out

Accomerdation was large and comfortable and cleaned daily.
Food was reasonable varied and an excellent variety of sweets.
Pool area was well maintained with free towels unfortunately usual problem of people leaving towels on sun beds and not occupying them. Must go on the hotel tour of sharm el cost £5 and lasts for three hours very informative. If you get bitten by mozzies go to the chemist 100yards to the right of the hotel. The shops next to it are cheaper than the hotel and with no hastle. Made good use of the activites at the beach, excellent snorkerling. We had seven in our party ranging from 17 to 77 and we all enjoyed our time and would go back

I stayed at this hotel with my parents but stayed in a single room. From the moment that we booked in the staff were very helpful and polite, nothing was too much trouble.
The rooms are modern and well looked after. There was a bottle of water waiting for me upon arrival in the room which was great because of the humidity in the weather. The rooms are air conditioned which is also a god send as I said the weather is so hot. My room was cleaned everyday and sometimes a design was made with the towels and left on the bed which was a very nice gesture.
The hotel is stunning and well looked after, there are two main pools, a quiet one and the activity one. We tended to stay at the activity pool as the atmosphere was better and there were things to do if you got bored with sunbathing. There is an animation team who work everyday at this pool from 09.00hrs-16.30hrs. They were amazing and really made the holiday a pleasure. All the animation team worked really hard and were so friendly, they would take time out to come and sit with you during the day and find out how everythings going and to keep you laughing as well. There was no hassle though if you didn't want to join in with fun they would leave you be.
We visited the beach on one occassion. We were collected by the free bus in the morning and collected again at the beach later in the afternoon. The roads in Egypt are crazy and I certainly wouldn't advise walking or getting a blue and white taxi as they are well known for being crazy drivers and most of their cars aren't equipped with seatbelts and even door handles! So definately ge the free bus or the hotel taxi's which are also superb. The beach was another lovely day. The beds were readily available and the staff again were very friendly. The sea is fantastic but you definately need some type of shoes to walk in the ocean as it is very stoney and it will hurt if you go in with no shoes. I would recommend buying a snorkle set and going in the ocean the water is amazing and the wildlife that lives under the sea is beautiful and fascinating to see.
We went on a boat trip to Tiran Island whilst there, the trip was ok but there were a few things that let it down. In the morning when you are taken to the harbour it is chaos! There are so many people waiting o go on the same trip but with different companies that you are waiting in absolute madness to get designated to a group and get on a boat. The Egyptians don't seem to have organisation skills with anything I'm afraid. The journey out to the island took 2 hrs longer than it should have done which meant that we didn't have much time to do any snorkelling. But saying that, the first stiop that we made was absolutely amazing. The life under the sea is incredible and I have never seen anything like it. We then had to make another stop for the deep sea divers to do a dive. This seemed a little unfair as we had paid to do snorkelling and we weren't allowed to snorkel where the divers were as it was too dangerous. So we had to wait on the boat for nearly an hr doing nothing. The second stop that we made was again amazing to see but the downside to this was that there was jellyfish in the water which the staff on the boat said were safe to swim with, yet my mum got stung in the neck by one of them!!! Luckily she was ok, but this upset us for the rest of the trip and we stayed out of the water from then on. We were disappointed that the staff said it was ok and that they even took us somewhere where there was jellyfish.
The weather was amazing all week, stayed in the late 30's, early 40's. It was so hot, so take a high sunblock for the first couple of days coz you will burn. And at the moment it is mosquito season so take plenty of creams or mosquito repellants, we got biten so many times and they can become extremely infected.
All in all we had an amazing time and we will definately be going back to Sharm El Sheikh and the St Georges Three Corners Hotel.
