“Another perfect week”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 8, 2012

Had six visits over last four years and never a complaint. We find it harder to leave each time . Thanks to manager Mr Umbricht and team . Dont let the news from Cairo put you off . Luxor has never had troubles . The hotel is on an island and is a haven from the noise of the town. An easy walk in or £2 taxi but you can opt in or out of the town . Walk round the island talk to the farmers get to know the locals .GO !

Room Tip: They are all good. Upgrade if you must but just enjoy the location .

Dear David F from Boston UK,

Thank you very much for having returned to your home in Luxor once again after 6 previous visits in the past 4 years! Returning clients are the best compliments we can get and it is a great pleasure to see all well known faces again year after year, sometimes even 4 x per year!

Thank you all for your kindness and fidelity towards the Maritim Jolie Ville Kings Island Luxor and its team. Thanks to you all, we still have work and safe income to support our families in these difficult times. As you say very correctly, there is no problem, danger or reason for not visiting Egypt the troubles are only in Cairo and even there only in secluded areas were nobody needs to go anyway.

We all hope very much that Egypt is getting calm and quiet soon and only appears in the News for its splendor, sunshine, uniqueness and generally very peaceful people who love to show their wonderful country to the interested tourists from all over the world.

We are all looking forward to welcome you back home on Kings Island in the not so far future, and remain with
Sunny regards from unique & spectacular Luxor at the majestic river Nile.

“The perfect stressbuster!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 4, 2012

We have just returned from our first visit for a week to this beautiful hotel. what an amazing place. After a particularly stressful year we just felt it all melt away this past week. The service is exceptional, the waiters in the dining room and at the pool are very friendly and everywhere looked immaculate. the views are stunning and we just sat and gazed at the river life on the Nile. we can't wait to go back, and for longer next time!!

“Our Second Home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

Having been a guest at the Jollie Ville many times I have previously reviewed this hotel. We arrived and were greeted as old friends from the courtesy airport pickup through checkin and throughout our stay.
we stayed in the new rooms (3105) close to the horizon pool the gardens as always were immaculate, when we visited in may this year maintainance work was being carried out unobtrusive and very quiet, and now six months later no sign of disturbance. Mr Urmbricht and his superb team deserve every praise for their effort. The food at all the hotel outlets was wonderful we especially liked the Italian restaurant Ziglini's as for the renowned JolieVille breakfast absolutely fantastic where would it be without Mr. Rabbia and all his staff.
If you are looking for a holiday where you will be treated as royalty at all times this is the hotel for you Honeymoon, holiday with children or just a quiet relaxing break Please Please go, ignore the wild statements about trouble in Egypt THER IS NO TROUBLE IN LUXOR only a friendly wecome with a smile.

Room Tip: The new blocks are beautifully equiped with super views but are some distance from the reception and...

Dear David 55 Slack from Cardiff UK,

Thank you so very much for your very nice praises on Tripadvisor and for being such a loyal and supporting “friend” of the Maritim Jolie Ville Kings Island Luxor over the past years.

Thank you as well for mentioning that Luxor is quiet as always despite TV News pictures try to provoke another image. The troubles are in Cairo and even there only on a relatively small place, the Tahrir Square! Or did anybody see pictures in the past 2 years from Luxor, Sharm El Sheik, Hurghada, Aswan etc with demonstrations or troubles in the News??? No, because there isn’t and never was a problem in these regions and tourists are as always perfectly safe!

We are very happy that you have enjoyed your holiday with us on Kings Island; at least you could take full advantage of the great weather, the fantastic sites (with few tourists), the tranquility and genuine hospitality of the people of Upper Egypt.

The Jolie Ville Team and I are wishing you all the very best and hope to be able to welcome you back home in the not so far future.

I remain with,
Best regards from ever spectacular and sunny Luxor

“Very good hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012

This is a very good hotel, beautifully located on the private green island on the Nile river. This is very nice bacause there are no high buildings but just one or two levels bungalows. The staff is very friendly and the level of service high. There is a very good hotel manager taking care of everything, chatting with the guests so they can feel his attitude and involvement. 3 beautiful swimming pools (one only for adults which is a plus). The only small complain could be about food. It is not bad but it could be better. The theme buffets like e.g. Italian night are only loose varations of the theme food. But other than that very good and can be rocommended.

“Still here”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012 via mobile

Well we are on day three of our holiday. I'm currently in Bungalow 1 overlooking the perfectly maintained gardens as I type! Most people wait for their return to write a review but I've decided to jump the gun. This is now my 4th visit to this hotel and quite frankly in Luxor I haven't found better. The tranquility of an island resort five minutes away from the bustling and sometimes overbearing town of Luxor is like two separate worlds. The staff as usual are very good and not annoyingly over attentive as some hotels. I don't need my glass or plate refilled every 10 minutes but I do like peace and quiet. Its hard to write a review without sounding like a PR consultant for the hotel there are down sides but so minimal I'd feel like a fool trying to list them. A big thank you to Abu Elmagd Muhammad The Front Office manager as my wife has a serious nut allergy which was simply resolved so we had no worries and as it was our wedding anniversary we got a very nice upgrade. Ill probably write another review when I get home because hopefully these reviews help all the staff feel a little happier in their jobs how ever small they may be.
p.s. a couple of older reviews have mentioned the Zoo by saying they have concerns for the welfare of the animals can I just say I have been coming here for a good few years and have never seen any problems with standards or the condition of the animals this year our daughter came with us and she works with animals in many ways but mainly in animal sanctuaries and animal care if she has no concerns I certainly don't and nor will you WHEN you visit!

Dear Marko 1969 from Brentwood UK,

Thank you very much for spending your holidays for the 4th time at the Maritim Jolie Ville Kings Island Luxor and for sharing your views about our Resort with the world wide Tripadvisor community.

If you are still in the hotel when this reply is posted, I would very much like to meet with you to discuss the “minimal downsides” you found, in order to learn more about the needs and requirements of our esteemed clients to make sure we do not miss anything.

Thank you for your comment on our little petting Zoo. Dr. Victor our local veterinarian is visiting the Zoo on a monthly basis and provides me with a small report about the wellbeing of each animal to be ascertained that all animals are well taken care of and always in good health.

The Jolie Ville Team and I are wishing you all the best for this holiday and if you are still in the Resort next Saturday the 1st of December, I look forward meeting with you at our repeat clients cocktail at the Moga Bar in the later afternoon.

I remain with,
Best regards from 34 degrees and ever sunny Luxor
