The Three Corners Palmyra Resort

Although appearing to be quite isolated, the Three Corners Palmyra is a self-contained establishment offering, within it's grounds, a range of leisure and dining facilities. There is a shuttle service several times a day to a beach at it's sister property but other properties in the area could be considered if a beach is the main attraction of a holiday. Most of the facilities are accessible from a single-level.

Exterior

Surrounded at the front by barren desert, the hotel stands back from the quiet road which is the main route in to Nabq Bay. It has an attractively landscaped and carefully manicured garden to the front around which a U-shaped drive leads up to the entrance. The imposing pink building is topped by traditional dome roofs which, as well as being decorative, provide a naturally cool interior. The main entrance arched foyer reaches the equivalent of three floors.

Surrounded by wooden sun-loungers with mattresses and shaded by fixed parasols, there is a pool bar with a swim-up section. From the main pool, a lazy river, crossed by an arched wooden bridge, runs through the grounds and connects with a 2nd quiet-area pool towards the rear of the property. There is a children's playground with climbing frame and, by the main pool bar, a covered table tennis and darts area. The hotel also has the Chez Pascal a-la-carte restaurant which has seasonal opening dates.
