Great views, service and facilities. Rent a tiny tour boat at hotel for $10/hour. Ask to Drive it yourself! Rent a sunset Felucca from the Hotel - NOT OUTSIDE THE HOTEL - and ask to sail it yourself. Super internet hook-up.
Consider skipping the Karnak Lightshow - it's too long, too dangerous and a bit too fictitious. Watch out for tip hungry guards in the Luxor Museum and negotiate $* to take non flash photos/videos in the Valley of The Kings with each tomb guard BEFORE YOU ENTER THE TOMB!
Arrange for your own A/C taxi to the West Bank and save 90% on hotel package. Use Hotel to arrange for Taxi back to airport.
DEFINITELTY TRY TO GET UP EARLY FOR THE BALLOON RIDE ON WEST BANK.

Amazing place to stay for the view alone...add in the wonderful front desk staff, excellent food and dining staff, attentive room stewards, the place is off the charts. The front desk connected us with tour guides that were really good at what they do, very professional, and extremely nice at the same time. I would definitely come back here again--but probably for a longer stay next time...
