Une très belle parenthèse gâchée par une politique d'excursions aux prix abusifs
Pros:

​Séjour globalement très positif sur le plan du cadre et du service, mais un bémol majeur et rédhibitoire concernant la politique tarifaire des activités.

​Les points forts :

​Le cadre : L'hôtel est absolument magnifique, situé sur une petite île paisible, idéal pour se détendre.

​Le personnel : Un service irréprochable, avec un personnel d'une grande gentillesse et aux petits soins.

​La restauration : Le restaurant de l'hôtel est de très bonne qualité.

Cons:

Le gros point noir : Les prix exorbitants des activités et des transferts
C’est le véritable problème de cet établissement. L'hôtel étant situé sur une île, vous êtes "captifs" : si la navette pour arriver au quai principal est gratuite, chaque trajet supplémentaire en bateau est facturé au minimum 30 € par trajet.

​Plus grave encore, les tarifs pratiqués pour les excursions proposées par l'hôtel frisent l'indécence. Il n'y a littéralement aucune activité à moins de 100 €.

​Exemple concret : On nous a proposé une excursion pour le jardin botanique à 120 €, puis "bradée" à 95 € (transport et tickets inclus). En nous débrouillant par nous-mêmes (en prenant un taxi local et les billets en autonomie), cela nous est revenu à 1 000 EGP, soit environ 20 € pour deux.

​L'hôtel se retranche derrière l'argument de la sécurité pour justifier ces marges, mais multiplier les prix par quatre ou cinq pour des prestations locales reste injustifiable. C'est dommage car cela laisse une impression de "vache à lait" qui gâche un peu l'expérience.

​Conseil aux futurs voyageurs : Profitez du cadre et de la beauté des lieux, mais organisez vos sorties et transports par vos propres moyens dès que vous quittez l'île.

Exceptionnel
Pros:

L’emplacement exceptionnel, la gentillesse du personnel, la qualité du service de manière générale et en particulier au restaurant (préparation de pique-nique pour nos excursions), la piscine rafraîchissante, l’architecture de l’hôtel

Cons:

Nous avons tout aimé, toutefois nous suggérons 2 axes d’amélioration : améliorer le quai d’accueil du bateau qui fait la liaison Assouan/ hôtel, s’assurer que le personnel de réception maîtrise un anglais suffisant pour pouvoir répondre aux questions basiques des clients . Mais cela ne nous a pas empêché de passer un séjour inoubliable, le personnel y ayant grandement contribué

Maravilloso cierre de nuestro viaje
Pros:

Tuvimos una habitación muy especial, así que sin duda las vistas y la piscina de la habitación fue lo que más me gustó. Pero el desayuno, la cena en el restaurante y la atención de todo el personal fue maravillosa, estuvieron en todo momento pendientes de que no nos faltase nada.

Cons:

No puedo puntuar nada de forma negativa, pero si tengo que hacer un comentario de forma constructiva, sería más sombra en la piscina principal, apenas había sombrillas para poder disfrutar en la zona de la piscina principal.

Pros:

The hotel is in an extraordinary location between the upper and lower barrages and has an amazing view of Philae temple. It means you have to take a small shuttle boat to go anywhere but that was part of the charm, was easy to organise and taxis know where to drop you off and pick you up. It also means its very quiet. The infinity pool is beautiful and friends we were with also enjoyed the spa treatments.
The on site restaurant and bar is very good and reasonably priced and the hotel will organise a breakfast box if you are leaving early for a trip or for an early flight.
