Arriving late at night we were a little disappointed with the rooms that are 70's G Plan and a little tired - but what a difference the morning brought. The rooms and the whole resort is probably the cleanest we have ever seen - many British hotels could learn a lesson or two. The Jolie Ville is an excellent contrast... more

I would just like to say thank you for the experience we had at Jolie Ville last week. I cannot say enough about the hospitality of the staff and their professionalism. The food was fantastic, the advice wonderful. Outdoors the gardens and pools were exemplary and the staff at the pool, especially Ahmed the lifeguard was very professional. The Gardeners... more

We can thoroughly recommend the Jolie Ville. The island setting is magnificent and you can spend a day just looking around the island. As others have suggested the accommodation is a bit dated but very clean and we found the staff to be very friendly. The free wifi was useful to stay in touch and the aircon a boon. The... more

We stayed for 2 weeks in june/july 09 at half board as a relaxing/sightseeing stay, we booked about a year ago when it was rated number one in luxor (at time of writing is now 7th) and i can now see why it is falling. The rooms are dated (we had time to inspect due to a two days of... more

This hotel, for 9 nights, was the end of a tourism packed trip to Egypt. First impressions are very good. Tight security, private island, palential grounds. As our rooms were not quite ready, we sat by the pool and drank coffee. However, when we got to our rooms, we were genuinely surprised. It is such a contrast to the rest... more

Luxor is an unbelievable experience. The hassle, the sights, the extreme heat... so you need to make sure you at least can relax when you get to the hotel. And the Maritim offers just that. As other reviewers have mentioned, the place is on an island and they have a fantastic infinity pool. At sunset, you have the impression of... more

I have just been reading through the reviews on this hotel. I have stayed here on many occasions along with a lot of friends, who would go nowhere else. I laughed when I read a review from someone who claimed to have seen a snake on her doorstep and demanded to be moved to another hotel (imagine seeing a snake... more

We have just returned from the Jolie Ville Luxor Island after a fabulous 2 week stay. It has to be one of the most relaxing places we have ever stayed. Wonderful hotel, staff, fabulous views of the Nile, and the infinity pool in particular was great. The 2 weeks were great value for money, though would say that thought drinks... more

This was our 4th visit in the last 3 yrs - and we've never stayed in the same place more than once, before! I think that says it all - and am really at a loss to understand some of the recent comments. The one from the American person (N Carolina, I think) , in particular, bears absolutely no relation... more
