I travel a great deal for both business and pleasure but no experience has ever merited my writing a review. This experience does. Its unlike anything I have ever experience. Food, service, rooms, surroundings were of the highest level and I could not find fault in anything. This is the perfect spot for the jaded traveler to completely switch off... more

We spent 3 night here in late July. Our dreams came true. What a perfect spot. We even had a choice of sleeping inside or on the spacious verandah. We slept under the stars in paradise. The staff were superb. Every night they lit a path to our dining place with oil lamps. The food was incredible. We even visited... more

It strikes me as always with this site that the people who had bad times or are vehminit (sp?) about some place are just in the wrong place. My wife an I kicked off our honeymoon here and were absolutely blown away!!! This is a small fantasy world for anyone who has the occasional dream about what it would be... more

I am surprised at some of the negative comments about Adrere Amellas as I found it spotless with great service and terrific food. I met some very interesting Eygptians and had the pleasure of being at Dr. Mounir's table (it's his project). I was 'upgraded' after being pressed into telling all 60 or so guests an after dinner funny story.... more

Just came back from a very romantic experience. The oasis is magnificient. Food was incredible and the service was great. It is not the 4 Seasons style. It is a whole new concept with nature and silence instead of electricity... Don't go there if you expect to watch TV and order room service. We loved it. more

The place was outright dirty, from the glasses, cups and forks, to the room. The first thing I saw when I entered it were the floor mats, heavy with dust and sand. Then I got a gust of air from the fireplace, which scattered the ashes from the previous tenant' s fire around the room. Candles did not last till... more

i re-visited the place after been there two years ago. prices are astronomical and not worth it, there are now other alternatives, check the web. Similar to review a few days ago - Real draw-downs are - dirty dishes all day long, with dead flies in the glasses, etc - changes of towels, well, you ask and ask and ask... more

Paint pealing in the dirty (grand) room, oversize coacroach in the bathroom, broken cups at breakfast, lipstick stains on the wine glasses at lunch, rusty knives at dinner, no mosquito net, or any other insect repellant to protect you, below average food, non professional service. more

Let's be upfront - this is a sensational place to stay on any terms. Ecolodges cannot rely on large TVs and plug-ins for your iPod but I believe that makes them concentrate more on quirky, imaginative aspects of your stay and - most importantly - food. The setting here is spectacular. You are not in the middle of nowhere -... more

I stayed at the Adrere amellal with my family for 5 days and words cannot describe how beautiful it is. Everything you see is as it should be and in total harmony with its surroundings that are magnificent. The food is incredible and every meal is a feast. It is expensive to stay here but worth every single euro. If... more
