Check-in at the Seti Abu Simbel Lake Resort
We had a very easy check-in and due to cancellations because of the conflict in the Middle East we were upgraded to the two-room, two-bathroom Presidential Suite.
The Presidential Suite featured a terrace with a lake view and a living room with a dining area. Facilities include a flat-screen satellite TV, a minibar and a wardrobe. It has 2 ensuite bathrooms, each fitted with a hairdryer and shower.
The king-size bed was very comfy with luxurious bed linen. The suite was colourfully decorated in Egyptian-inspired furnishings.
Tea and coffee-making facilities were provided. Plates of biscuits were also provided daily over our 2-night stay.
Wi-fi is available in public areas and it is free. We were using the e-sim by Holafly. We had excellent coverage but could not hotspot to our devices. For information on our e-sim by Holafly click here.
Dining at the Seti Abu Simbel Lake Resort
Breakfast was included, with a range of Western and Egyptian hot dishes provided, yoghurts, fruits, pastries, eggs and juices. It was a substantial spread.
The Pool Bar offers cocktails, mocktails and beer.
In the evening we dined alfresco after ordering dishes from the main restaurant. We did not purchase any local Egyptian wine but enjoyed the local Egyptian beer – Sakkara.
Facilities at the Seti Abu Simbel Lake Resort
We booked a two-night stay with a view of spending day 2 by the swimming pool. Private cabanas were available. After a busy three weeks travelling through Egypt the day spent by the pool drinking cocktails is what we needed to refresh ourselves for the next part of our journey to Bangkok.
Table tennis and billiards is available on the resort for a small fee.
In conclusion, Seti Abu Simbel Lake Resort offers a luxurious and tranquil retreat for travellers visiting the iconic temples of Abu Simbel. With its stunning views of Lake Nasser, comfortable accommodations, and excellent amenities, this resort provides a perfect blend of relaxation and cultural exploration.
