We have spent there a week. Lets start with positives:
- lovely Staff, friendly kind, helpful and not asking for tips
- reef is great - dugongs/manatees/sea cows are coming just in front of the hotel to have their breakfast and lunch :)
- good drinks
Negatives:
- food is semi-poisonous :). I was struggling to eat anything which was not giving me the stomach pain. Really terrible food. We had experience with other hotel nearby and was ok, but this one, is just worse experience ever. if you come there for snorkeling, bring your canned food from europe! or be prepared for huge stomach problems. I tried to wash it out with alcohol - didnt helped. I was eating medical carbon like M&Ms before the food, after and between xD.
- mosquitos. OMG they were entering out room through the walls which were as for the local standard, not sealed as you can imagine.
- rooms are very used... but clean on the other hand

A four star review for TC Equinox Beach Resort and for the operational management of Three Corners Egypt, the Lambrecht family and GM Mr. Fouad Gamal with his Golden Team who are doing an exceptional good job!
The location of the hotel is perfect, it offers a fantastic beach, view and house reef. Belgian hospitality is paramount, you feel it, you taste it!
If some additional renovation works could be done to the existing infrastructure of this hotel, I would definitely give TC Equinox Beach Resort a 5 star review! The resort owner's investments will certainly make an improvement, keep up 👍🏾
My heart lays in Egypt and my soul has always unconditionally been with Three Corners company, for many years. Wherever Three Corners is, I feel at home, it is my home 🇪🇬❤️🇧🇪

We’re two friends who stayed one week at the Three Corners Equinox for an all-inclusive diving holiday — and honestly, it was just fabulous.
Our room was super spacious, comfy, clean, and had everything we needed. Only downside: the Wi-Fi barely worked, so we ended up buying an eSIM. We also had a small mix-up with our airport pickup, but nothing major.
The buffet always had plenty of choice, and while the food was generally decent, the local dishes were actually really good!
But what really made the trip was the staff — they were absolutely amazing. So friendly, fun, and always ready to help with anything. They truly made our stay unforgettable.
Despite the few small issues, we had such a great time and would totally recommend staying here!

The food tastes really great and every evening there is another topic. The staff and service is very kind and helps in every situation. For snorkeling there a perfect opportunities. The animation team especially Bintu is very friendly and makes a wonderful job and let everybody have a great time at the hotel and the beach.

It is a decent hotel with a beautifully tended garden. I was there in January 2025, so it's a slow period for hotels in Egypt I guess, not that many guests - and that's good if you're looking for a slowpoke vacation.
There are several facilities that one can use:
- SPA, gym, massage
- pools, one being heated
- terrace bar
- a la carte restaurant
- several shops - general store (drinks, cosmetics, cigarettes, so on), small pharmacy, souvenir shops
- there are two people who sell trips - one from Nefertari, the other I can't remember, both are ok
- pool bar
Now let me break it down into categories:
+ animators - fun crew of young people with various talents. Animation programs were lively, animators were helpful and approachable. One guy in particular was surely talented - he did illusion tricks, dancing, fire show, juggling - a man of many talents for sure.
+ beverages - one can order local alcohols at 3 places - a bar near restaurant, pool bar, terrace bar. Only at the pool bar the bartender pours a beer from bottle (Stella), in other bars you get non-alcoholic beer. It's subjective of course, but generally remember that Egypt is a country with a different culture so if you like to have a beer from time to time then either bring your own with you or go to Port Ghalib and buy some there. Egyptian beer imo is mediocre, but you don't go there to taste beer - enjoy the Sun, reefs, so on. I have no opinion on local hard spirits, not really tasted them.
+ food - food was generally of good quality, with lots of variety, though after 5 days it can get a bit repetitive - rice, meat, potatoes, so on. Of course, it's subjective, the food was tasty. There is a grill station, sweets are tasty, soups are tasty, cooks are professional. A la carte restaurant is basic, but still - it's a hotel company, not a restaurant company, so I can live with that. Cooks are professional, there is also a station where sometimes a cook carves beautiful forms out of a watermelon. There are thematic days every day - asian, local, fish, etc. days
+ pools - pools are ok, one can swim withouth any problems
+ reception - superbly helpful people. If there were problems - they were solved rather fast. This Three Corners company surely knows how to do service management well and tend to their customer needs.
+ rooms - my room was OK. Spacious, the cleaning man was friendly and basicaly we had all we needed. Be sure to get some anti-mosquito chemicals, a simple RAID or OFF device would do the trick - otherwise you may have problems with sleeping as those little mosquito buggers will just eat you alive. But it's a common problem in this climate, so ok.
Now other things to consider:
+ this is a resort in the middle of nowhere - be mindful about it, as if you'd like to visit Port Ghalib or other places you'd need to pay for quite expensive taxis - Marsa Alam is not Sharm El Sheikh where taxi drivers can get you from A to B for 5-10$.
+ you go there to enjoy the Sun, reefs, swim, maybe get some additional trips like the glass boat so called
+ guests nationality - mostly Germans, some Dutch people, Italians, Polish people, some locals
Of course I could analyze other points, but there is no need so let's go to conclusion.
Conclusion - this is a good place to stay for more of a leisure type of vacations. Food is of good quality, you can eat tastily there. For those who want to explore the local region there are some additional trips that one can buy like glass boat where you can observe fish, manatees, turtles, snorkeling, jeep safari, so on.
The hotel crew was very helpful and honest, I haven't encountered bakshish solicitation. This is a good place to stay in the region.
Three Corners as a hotel company surely cares about their customers.
I would consider choosing Three Corners hotel for a next trip to Marsa Alam, as there are about 4-5 different Three Corners hotel in this region.
