We felt trepidation about booking our week long holiday to Maritim Jolie in Luxor, not least because we were taking our first overseas holiday with our 9 month old baby. We needn't have worried - everything went far smoother than anticipated. Hotel: the hotel is lovely - large and spread out over the island directly on the Nile. Our room... More

Leaving behind the dust, squalor and detritus that besets modern-day Egypt, threatening even the magnificence and grandeur of its byegone civilisation almost, a bridge to tranquility leads us welcomingly to a sanitised paradise away from the harshly-driven and overladen mule carts, the brutalised horse-drawn buggies defying death and injury almost every minute from unthinking drivers who swerve round them. This... More

Having visited the Jolie Ville 5 times my partner and I have decided to go back there this month. We have sent 3 emails to which we have not had a reply! As Mr Urs Umbricht General Manager seems to spend an awful lot of time on trip advisor he may read this and have the courtesy to reply to... More

The clerk at the desk... More

This was our third visit to the island in the Nile known as Kings Island and just 2k south of bustling Luxor. A haven of tranqillity the Jolie Ville bungalows are set in well tended tropical gardens visited by a variety of birds with black kites flying overhead and a lazy hour spent on a boat from the hotels own...

Don't think twice, this place is spacious and well maintained. We enjoined every minute and everything was up to our expectations. More

When I went to Egypt I hadn't planned on staying there, but did due to flooding on the roads from Luxor to Hurghada. Our tour company, Thomas Cook, brought us to Maritim Jolie Ville Kings Island to stay the night. They were amazing. Even though they were being flooded with people, who they were not expecting, they managed to get... More
