Azal Lagoons Resort Abu Simbel

Beautiful property and helpful staff

This resort is huge and very beautiful. The staff are friendly and welcoming. We scheduled an early morning pickup luggage at 5:45am. The guy was very punctual and polite. We were luck to spent one night at Azal for our Abu Simbel Trip.

We chose to overnight in Abu Simbel and there was limited choice for hotels. Most tourists do the day bus tour. We hired a driver and spent the night. The up side was we were able to see the temple with only two other people onsite. Great experience. The resort is huge, appears to consist of apartments and the layout reminded me of Florida. Buildings are very spread out with parking in front. It is completely walled in with security. We had a 3 bedroom with full kitchen. Very clean and comfortable but limited wares. Check in and out was excellent. Great service. Outside of the apartment was quite dusty but then again you are surrounded by desert. The pool was like ice and looked as if the pump filter needed to be turned on. Your only dining option is at the resort unless you have a car and I am not sure how good the options in Abu Simbel are. Dinner in the resort was good but on the expensive side for Egypt. Breakfast was good and included with the room. There was a buffet which surprised us since there did not seem to be many people at the resort. The grounds are lovely and there is a pretty marina on site.

Nice big property. Right next to the lake. Stunning views. Big pool. Friendly staff. Only 1 restaurant on the property with a limited menu. But staff is friendly and accommodating. The hotel is a 10 min drive from the temples. There is nothing around the property so you will need a car for transportation.

The staff and effort of everyone to solve any situation or request you may have during your stay is the best of this hotel The view of some rooms!
