SHUKRAN, SHUKRAN, SHUKRAN to everyone at Set Bu Simbel Lake Resort ❤️
Pros:

Location and Staff.
Close to the Temples, The coolest pool overlooking Lake Nasser.😎😎😎

Thank you to Mohammed (Resort manager) for making my experience in Abu Simbel so unbelievably memorable. 😀.
Mohammed arranged for my easy transport from Aswan train station to the resort, he upgraded my room (not requested by me) arranged transport to the temples for the Light Show (don’t miss it) and then back at Sunrise 😎😎😎 the next morning and then to the airport.
He really did do it all. 🙏

Thank you to the Kitchen staff for keeping the kitchen open and making me such a delicious bedtime snack. 🙏

A special shout out to Bowdy who was my trusted driver who got me to all the places I wanted/needed to be safely and on time. 🙏🙏🙏❤️

I don’t think I will go back to Aswan but if anyone goes there I will highly recommend this resort
Pros:

I really appreciated the resort staff—they were all very friendly and helpful. I would especially like to thank Mostafa Said, the desk manager, for his exceptional assistance. When we unfortunately ran out of fuel in Aswan, he helped us contact the police officer, which made a difficult situation much easier and allowed us to arrange an additional night’s stay.

The other staff members were also very helpful, although I didn’t get their names. Thank you all for your kindness and support!

Cons:

None!

This is an amazing property to find so far away from major city. Wish we could come back again during a regular cooler s
Pros:

Everybody was so engaging and friendly and the pool was fantastic… The restaurant had a little bit of restrictive hours because it was out of tourist season and I don’t blame them for shortening the staff.

It’s in the middle of nowhere and it’s an amazingly beautiful property with lovely people running it!

Cons:

Nothing

The most scenic place in Egypt
Pros:

I’ve travelled the whole country from Alexandria down to Abu Simbel and stayed in many hotels on the route. This resort just left me speechless. Charming establishment with relaxing ambience, authentic architecture, chic amenities and flawless service. I wish I had more days planned for Abu Simbel to enjoy a longer stay at Seti resort.

Here I lived thought the most scenic and dramatic sunset over the lake Nasser of my whole journey, thanks to very attentive personnel at reception who assigned me the room upon my request. Abu Simbel is only 15 minutes walk from the resort, you have a unique opportunity to be the first and only visitor at temples for sunrise.

Overall it’s an amazing resort. I highly recommend spending at least a night there whenever you end up visiting Abu Simbel temples.

Pros:

Amazing hotel with a scenic view. We booked a night in Abu Simbel due to a change of plans but it turned out to be completely worth it. Seti Lake Resort is fantastic. It has a privilegiate position over the Nasser Lake, relax is guaranteed. The staff was friendly and the hotel well maintained and with top notch services.
