    The food was edible to good, which seems to be the standard in Egypt rgardless of the quality of the hotel. All meats are overcooked, which again, seemed to be the norm.

    The room we had was in quite good condition. The pools, walking and perpheral areas were clean, attractive, and nicely laid out. It is in a very quiet location, about a 1.2km walk to the Temple complex, which we found reasonable.

    The dining room was a bit soulless, but handled large volumes of guests well.

    Fabulous location Beautiful swimming pools Balconies with beautiful views over the lake Close to the temple Wonderful staff, especially Manager Mohamed, who personally looked after every part of our trip and certainly made it run more smoothly and more enjoyable.

    Nothing. I would however not recommend the Light and Sound evening show. Nothing much to it

    Perfect location close to the temple, a very attractive hotel nicely laid out with excellent management and staff. It was perfect for us. Highly recommended

    It was full of mosquitoes and they sprayed a strong anti-mosquito thing that made us get dizzy! Also, very slow service at the restaurant.

    Nice setting with beautiful views. Comfortable suite that perfectly accommodated a family of 4.

    Service was mediocre, but lazy staff frankly that often gave you a long face when asked to do anything. And definitely don’t eat there. Breakfast is just about ok. Western dinner is not recommended. Go outside and eat local

    Facilities, rooms, landscaping and location were great.

    Pleasant Surprise-Oasis in The Desert, but a little pricey
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Double or Twin Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Wi-Fi only available in public areas and pretty weak there. One English speaking television channel which was RT (Russian Television) constantly giving Putin propaganda. Dinner at the restaurant was a little on the high side even a-la-carte ordering. This was the most expensive hotel night (about $350 including taxes) we had during a 22 day trip that covered Dubai-Maldives-Cairo-Abu Simbel-Istanbul (well except for the Maldives of course). I guess the Law of Supply and Demand is fully in charge here since there really are no other suitable options available.

    Pleasant surprise-- sort of an oasis in the desert--I was surprised by the massive size of the resort compared to the rest of the sleepy little village. Not a blade of grass in the rest of the town and desert but beautiful manicured lawns at the resort. Multiple pools, coffee bar area, large air conditioned restaurant. Front desk staff were extremely helpful--all staff were very attentive.

    Mediocre quality for a lot of money

    We really payed too much for our rooms, even despite we had a free upgrade: no wifi in the room, curtains partly falling from the rails, broken lamp, outdated electricity wires, safe not working and loose in the closet. I wonder why all the money the tourists have spend in this hotel is not used for maintenance. If you want to earn this amounts of money (300$ for 1 night, 6$ for a beer, in Egypt!) you have to follow high hotel standards. No blame to the receptionists, waiters and cleaners because they are doing their job very well. My complaint concerns the management and the owner(s) of the hotel.

    Great location near the temples and at Lake Nasser. The pool is lovely. Staff is very friendly and helpfull.

    You could feel the peace and the powerful forces of the river caving its way through the desert. The property just meld into its surroundings.

    The prices were very high. The pool was freezing, the buffet was not good. The toilet in our room was not attached and you practically fell on the floor when using it. The chair on our patio was also broken. For the high price we paid, there should not have been major maintenance problems with the room and the pool should have been heated.

    Convenient location to Abu Simbel on Lake Nasser with a nice pool.

    No wifi in the room—you just had to go out to the pool—very close, but if you like to lay in bed and scroll, you have to use data.
