This was such a cute stay! I stayed for 2 nights and it felt so quaint and charming, made me feel like I was in Greece! I was nervous about figuring out how to get to the hotel on the island, but the hotel staff was kind enough to arrange a ride and water taxi for me. The spa services were also excellent! Was so relaxing and I highly recommend. The food was also delicious. The staff are so attentive to you, and treat you like royalty!

We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the quiet, tranquil location. The staff and service was outstanding, everyone was eager to help. The spa facility was exceptional, particularly Zeinab provided an amazing and relaxing experience. The rooms are large and we had a cold jacuzzi which was very nice in the hot weather. The buffet breakfast was delicious.

Most amazing breakfast and location next to Philea temple and boat ride to hotel saved an extra cost because you are on the Nile so why pay for excursion then just boat a few minutes to the temple a place like this in America would be $400 a night way so safe go and relax

Lovely and unique hotel. The staff was very nice and helpful. The breakfast was nice, but they could speed things up by having some coffee in pots already made. Each cup is made individually and slowly. The dinner was just so so. The spa was great. People should be aware they do not serve alcohol, even though is a terrific location for a drink.

As someone who rarely complains the ratings and reviews about this property are completely inaccurate. The property is on an island where you need to take a boat to get to. The boat is very limited and it is difficult to get onto and off of the island. There are small carts to transport you around the property called “tok tok” they are very scary up and down the hills of the property. They are a safety issue people, they are frightening to ride and unfortunately they’re the only way to navigate the property. I’ve heard several people scream while riding on it. There is limited food available, they have only one small restaurant with very high prices. The food is not worth its price value. The worst part about it was I got sick, and had a headache and fever. We asked the front desk if they had any medication to purchase, they told me they would order it from the pharmacy and would be there in 15 minutes. After 10 phone calls and 5 hours later I finally received the medication. We were expecting better service from the staff at this property. This was a subpar experience, and I wouldn’t recommend this property. They’re overpriced and unprofessional.

The staff and the views save this place. The restaurant staff, the housekeeping, and the boat guys are very nice and helpful, always greet you with a friendly smile. The hotel needs repairs though. The jacuzzi malfunctions, and the SHOWER needs big improvement. Stayed at room 403, and the shower cannot give proper temperature water; either too hot that can hurt you, or too cold, which made the showet experience uncomfortable. Mosquito nets needs better renovation and please put mosquito nets or repellants in rooms, as mosquitos are not something the hotel can control, but can simply help the customer experience be better by working on these points. Again, the hotel staff is the best, the restaurant staff, the boat guys, expecially Ahmad, are top notch! Manager is also kind and helpful.

Beautifully situated and designed hotel. Unlike many alternatives, it is in a distance from Aswan city, creating a very peaceful environment. Also, it is close to the Philae temple complex. If arranged with the hotel, the boat ride there and back is expensive (currently 30 dollars), but is simpler and more flexible than from the main dock (e.g. for checking out the original location of the temples, birdwatching). The only negative we fould was the water temperature of the jacuzzi - probably not an issue in summer, but felt a bit chilly in January. Finally, two suggestions for management: - Play local music in the restaurant, while jazz was better, pop songs are really not a good fit for the property. - Sell the beautiful traditional pottery used in the restaurant as a side business. We tried to purchase coffee cups and a pitcher, but unfortunately it was not possible.
