Just a minor inconvenience worth mentioning—the bathroom lights were quite bright, and with a glass panel at the top, the light spilled into the room at night, which made it a bit tricky to use without disturbing others. The shower drainage was also a little slow, but neither issue took away from the overall comfort and enjoyment of our stay.

Our stay at this resort was truly exceptional, and the location played a huge part in that. We were lucky to get Nile view rooms, and waking up to that breathtaking scenery every day made the experience incredibly memorable and well worth it. The sense of peace and serenity from the view alone added so much value to our stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. They were warm, professional, and went out of their way to accommodate our needs—including a late check-out, which we really appreciated. Every interaction we had with them reflected their sincere commitment to hospitality and guest satisfaction. The breakfast spread each morning was impressive, offering a wide variety of fresh and delicious options. What stood out the most was their thoughtfulness in catering to guests with early excursions—particularly for Abu Simbel. They not only offered a 3 AM breakfast service but also provided packed breakfast boxes for those on the go, which was incredibly convenient and thoughtful. The resort itself is tucked away in a location that feels very exclusive and peaceful, far from the noise and crowds, yet it remains accessible. The private ferry service to and from the main parking area was prompt, well-managed, and added a touch of uniqueness to the experience—it made us feel like we were on a private island retreat. After long days of sightseeing and travel, the resort’s spa was a true sanctuary. I had one of the best foot massages I’ve ever experienced—deeply relaxing and much needed after a full day of walking. It was the perfect way to unwind and rejuvenate. Also they have a 4 pm chocolate hour which my kids loved! All in all, our stay here was more than just accommodation—it felt like a peaceful escape that left us refreshed, well cared for, and full of beautiful memories. We would absolutely love to return and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Food in the Egyptian Meze restaurant was absolutely awful. Dry and tasteless, very disappointing. On the plus side breakfast was fabulous.

Pool area and the bar. We were upgraded to a suite which was great. Unfortunately the air conditioning was extremely loud so made sleeping difficult.

Highly recommend this Elephantine Island hotel for its spectacular Nile views. Reserve a full day to enjoy the property and take evening walks around the island—you won't regret it. Staff service was excellent and rooms were modern. Note: The hotel has two buildings with different designs; request the newer section for more contemporary styling if preferred. Aswan offers a refreshing change of pace in Egypt, and this property perfectly captures its tranquil charm.

That we had to leave at the end of our stay!

Go to this resort anytime you are in Aswan. Our number one choice when in Aswan, since 2015! This resort never fails to give us an overall excellent and wonderful experience. A big shout out to Ms. Tayseer for being so kind, very professional and super hospitable during our stay: she cared for every single details and request, she provided us with cute and delicious amenities and she was always available to help us with anything we needed and this time our group was extra demanding but she still managed to give us the best experience. Thank you Ms. Tayseer, we love you! Also, I'd like to thank the whole team for providing such a remarkable experience. We love everything about this resort: Ms. Tayseer and the whole staff, the rooms, the views especially the ones over the botanical garden, the food (breakfast and dinner), the gardens, the swimming pool, the level of cleanliness and the resort being an eco/sustainable one.

Bath was a bit high and wide. Could be difficult for shorter people.

Beautiful location, airy and bright with beautiful floral environment.

The rooms need some renovation. For the price, I expected to get a more “modern” room. It’s very clean, but in terms of interior it’s a little outdated. The food also needs an uplift. It’s good but not super.

The staff is the highlight of this resort. Super friendly and polite. Mohammed in the front desk did us a free upgrade. Rania from guest relations was very polite. Mrs tayseer also had my son’s birthday celebrated at the room as a surprise. Super thoughtful. The location and views are exquisite.

The bar in the old building is very nice and old school, the one in the new wing is not. It needs some improvement.

The location on Elephantine Island is magnificent and the city is easily reachable by a 24 hour boat shuttle. The Panorama restaurant in the tower (whose design is inspired by the Philae temple) seems to be the best in town and offers views. We liked the gigantic breakfast buffet and the terrace overlooking the Nile. The architecture is classic 1960s dictator chique with a touch of 90s corporate bombast. Not for everyone, but we were amused. Also: We had a fantastic massage in the spa.

Parts of the hotel are a little tired . Our room upgrade was kind but we had no bath ( which the room we booked did have ) ; no sun at all on our balcony and the shower in our room was poor . The water did not drain away so the next morning we were stepping into an inch of cold water and randomly the water would be very hot without warning for a few seconds . Not a 5 star experience but the room was very clean and the bed comfortable . Towels were of a decent size and fluffy ! The gala dinner on New Years Eve was included in our room rate but we heard it was 330 US dollars per person for those on B and B and included only a few cocktails at the beginning . We had to pay for our wine . By any stretch that is a huge amount of money to charge and given all other restaurants in the hotel were shut there was no option other than to join in . Maybe that needs a rethink !

The location is fantastic without a doubt. Most tourists in Aswan arrive ; leave and stay on a cruise boat so luxury accommodation is sparse here . This was our second visit to this hotel. We were upgraded to a junior suite and thoughtfully given free room service when we arrived late at night as we were half board . The staff are all very friendly and polite . I had a wonderful massage in the spa . Possibly the best ever . Thankyou to El Amir for topping up our coffee at breakfast and the extra sweet treats in our lunch boxes when we went to Abu Simbel .
