We spent New Year’s Eve and 6 days before on the property and it was a magical vacation. Visits of historic sites in the mornings and then relaxing by the pool in the afternoons. Perfect vacation ##### Ariane Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William Sep 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My wife and I stayed at this Historical hotel so look over the Niles, to experience a part of history, and also to enjoy a bit of luxury in a classy way. This hotel meets all of our expectation. About the only negative thing is that's a bit far from the airport, and haggling with the local taxi driver requires way too much effort. ##### William Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Carols Beau Rivage Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Marsa-Matruh-Hotels-Carols-Beau-Rivage-Hotel.h10052231.Hotel-Information) > > [Hapi 5 Nile Cruise, 3-4-7 nights from Luxor or Aswan](https://www.expedia.ca/Luxor-Hotels-Hapi-5-Nile-Cruise.h32504012.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Puerto Vallarta](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d180016-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hilton Luxor Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Luxor-Hotels-Hilton-Luxor-Resort-Spa.h16163.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Whistler](https://www.expedia.ca/Whistler-Hotels.d4115.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Pickalbatros Citadel Resort Sahl Hasheesh](https://www.expedia.ca/Hurghada-Hotels-Albatros-Citadel-Sahl-Hashsih-Families-Couples-Only.h2173600.Hotel-Information) > > [Tropitel Sahl Hasheesh Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Hurghada-Hotels-Tropitel-Sahl-Hasheesh-Resort.h8035526.Hotel-Information) > > [Palm Royale Resort - Soma Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Hurghada-Hotels-SENTIDO-Palm-Royale.h1178537.Hotel-Information) > > [White Hills Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sharm-El-Sheikh-Hotels-White-Hills-Resort.h85269305.Hotel-Information) > > [Podollan Inn & Spa Grande Prairie](https://www.expedia.ca/Grande-Prairie-Hotels-Podollan-Inn-Spa-Grande-Prairie.h6660025.Hotel-Information) > > [Fort Arabesque Resort, Spa & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Hurghada-Hotels-Fort-Arabesque-Resort.h5806203.Hotel-Information) > > [MS Esmeralda Nile Cruise from Aswan or Luxor](https://www.expedia.ca/Luxor-Hotels-MS-Esmeralda-Nile-Cruise.h32442538.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Montreal Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Montreal-Downtown.h65939.Hotel-Information) > > [Flamenco Beach and Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Quseir-Hotels-Flamenco-Beach-And-Resort.h1654465.Hotel-Information) > > [Coast Lonsdale Quay Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Lonsdale-Quay-Hotel.h15116.Hotel-Information) > > [JAZ Almaza Beach Resort, Almaza Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Marsa-Matruh-Hotels-Jaz-Almaza-Bay.h1506575.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Sharm EL Sheikh](https://www.expedia.ca/Sharm-El-Sheikh-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Sharm-EL-Sheikh.h885065.Hotel-Information) > > [Kempinski Hotel Soma Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Soma-Bay-Hotels-Kempinski-Hotel-Soma-Bay.h2135054.Hotel-Information) > > [Prima Life Makadi Hotel - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Hurghada-Hotels-Prima-Life-Makadi-Hotel.h2933586.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Narita (NRT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/nrt/vancouver-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Québec City (YQB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yqb/toronto-to-quebec) > > [Flights from Johannesburg (JNB) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/jnb/yyz/johannesburg-to-toronto) > > [flights from tulum airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/tuy/flights-from-tulum-airport) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Kelowna](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Kelowna-Intl.d6033592.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Winnipeg](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Winnipeg.d6141041.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Ontario Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Ontario.d11178.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Ontario Science Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Ontario-Science-Centre-North-York.d503130.Vacation-Attraction) > > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations) > > [Azores Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Azores.d6048267.Destination-Travel-Guides)
