El Wekala Three Corners Golf Resort Reviews

The hotel and staff were lovely, the food was below average and we had to eat out on our second week 5 times, it was a good job that the complex had different restaurants to eat at and their staff were very helpful and spoke good English. The animation team need to improve a great deal, their music choice was mainly geared around the teenagers and to be honest the average age was about 35 who were staying there, which then left you with no other evening entertainment other than a disco and the occasional talent competition again mainly for the younger female generation. Families with young children would also struggle as they did not cater for them either with food or entertainment. Would recommend going on a trip through MAX as he was a lot cheaper then the holiday companies, would recommend the sea snorkeling and Blue Hole trips, the guides were very friendly and spoke very good English and couldn't do enough for you whilst you were with them.

We just came back from this hotel this morning after a 2 week stay and I must say you could not find more helpfull and friendly people, mohammad the pool guy if great, nothing is too much for him and the animation team really try to get things going, you can join in or just sit and watch.

We flew from Newcastle to Sharm el sheik, then had two and a half hour private taxi transfer to Taba. Hotel was clean enough- towels and sheets changed daily and room cleaned to a high standard. We usually holiday in Luxor and go 5* so we knew this would not be as luxurious. It was better than expected, after reading lots of negative comments I now feel were unjustified. The staff are fantastic, they cannot do enough for you. Lots of things for kids to do. Clubs and the animation team keep them occupied most of the time. We had just our 19yr old daughter and are used to a more quiet type of hotel, but made good friends with a family of nine who kept us entertained for the two weeks. The setting of the hotel is picturesque with the mountains surrounding it, with a view of the red sea, but not enough to do for us at night, we felt as though we were stuck on the complex, and in August it was even too hot to be bothered to do much anyway even in the evening. the animation team were very good, but our daughter was plagued by one member who was to say the least- DISCOURTEOUS- bordering on down right rude. He would not leave her alone, we left a complaint on leaving as I had read that if you complain about any of them, you get terrible service for the rest of your holiday. We were ready for home by the end of the fortnight, but weather great, very hot. Food good, second week got a bit sick of the repetition, so other restaurants nearby were good.Had no problems with getting sun loungers, tipped pool boy as advised, again, staff first class.Some bad mannered foreigners took the shine off things, won't be returning to Three Corners, its back to Luxor for us.

Arrived at Taba airport, got to the coach and was confronted with a chap demanding £1 per case before he would load them onto the coach. This is a ruse. Tip by all means but do not be threatened into paying.Arrived at the hotel, we had read the reviews so was not expecting 5*. Security guards are on hand through the complex 24/7 which we thought was good. First week the hotel was only 75% full and the standards appeared pretty high. However, the second week took the hotel to capacity and most things went down hill rapidly. Food on lots of occasions was cold and evening meals became a bit of a bun fight which was a shame. Sometimes difficult to find a clean table. Animation team tried very hard but evening entertainment is v. limited. Staff were friendly and helpful but rely heavily on tips.Beach was beautiful and kept clean and tidy, views, weather etc. stunning. We had booked a trip to Jerusalem for our second week via Max in the hotel reception.When trouble erupted there two days before our proposed trip we thought it prudent to cancel. Max said he would refund our money the next evening. Went to see him and were told that our money was in Israel and he wouldn't have it until Saturday evening and "by the way" we had lost 25% of our money (£70)because we had cancelled. We told him that this was not acceptable particularly as the company had now cancelled any further trips to Jersulem for the foreseeable future. We told him that we would not move from his desk until he paid us what he owed us and should anyone try and book a trip with him, we would tell them that he was refusing to give us our money back. He said he did not have any money on him. We told him that unless he paid us what he owed us a member of our party would go into the dining rooms and bars that evening and make sure everyone knew what was going on. After an hour of arguing the toss, he eventually pulled out his overflowing wallet and refunded us, minus the 25%. Altough the trips via the tour operators are more expensive, we would suggest you book through them. Other members of our party later that week undertook a trip to the Blue Hole. If any females go on this trip please be careful of the men in charge of the camel riding. Do not let them ride on the camel with you under any circumstances. Ate at the Flying Carpet a couple of times, quite cheap but beware of bad tums. Beware Taba Airport, v. limited facilities and a guy charging for loo paper.

Had a great relaxing time here, our first time in Egypt but we are going back tothe the same hotel in October and May as we liked the peace and quiet. We are also meeting up with friends made this year so we are looking forward to it. Food could be better, but weather great, beach lovely and cannot fault the staff at all. You get what you pay for and as this was a cheap holiday we were not disappointed.
