Three Corners Fayrouz Plaza Beach Resort is part of a well-known Egyptian hotel group that runs several properties along the Red Sea. This one sits on the Marsa Alam coast and focuses on easy beach holidays, with pools, a sandy beach, a reef within reach and an animation programme that keeps families busy. It is the kind of resort where you can spend the day moving between the beach, the pool and the restaurants, and then take an excursion or two for variety. The reef is a major attraction for snorkelers, and the resort usually offers diving through an on-site centre. Because the property is geared to leisure travellers, you can expect a friendly, casual atmosphere, with shows and activities in the evening. For visitors on a budget who still want a full resort experience, this type of hotel is often a smart choice.
Location and getting around
The resort is on the Marsa Alam coast, a transfer from the airport that is usually under an hour. As with other resorts here, the surroundings are quiet, so excursions and hotel transfers are the main way to see more of the region. Dugong and turtle bays, the Dolphin House reef and desert safaris are all popular, and tour operators frequently include hotel pickup.
Rooms and who it suits
Rooms are usually simple and comfortable, with air-conditioning, a terrace or balcony and views of the garden, pool or sea. Families will appreciate the space and the children facilities, while groups of friends enjoy the social atmosphere. Couples looking for peace and quiet should ask for a room away from the main pool and entertainment area.
Dining and atmosphere
Most guests choose all-inclusive, with a buffet and several snack points and bars. The evening programme tends to include shows, themed nights and music, so if you prefer quiet, bring earplugs or choose a room in a quieter wing. The beach is the main attraction, with sunbeds and shade, and the reef is accessible by a jetty or entry point.
Good to know
Check the details of your rate, including which drinks and activities are included. Bring reef shoes, a rash vest and sunscreen. If you want to dive, ask about the centre and its schedules, and bring your certification card. Winter evenings can be cool, so pack layers, while summer is very hot.
The resort is not a boutique stay, but it is a practical, friendly base for a beach and reef holiday. Confirm facilities and opening times when you book, because seasonal changes are common in resort hotels. If you want to save money on excursions, compare the hotel desk prices with independent operators, and make sure the included items are the same.
