Have just returned from a week at this hotel with my daughter, on arrival receptionist was very pleasant and helpful, room was located in the main hotel and ground flootr which was nice and handy for all facilities, the room had a garden view, was fairly basic but had all that was required for a weeks holiday. Room cleaned every day and towels changed. Restaurant food was of a fairly good standard always plenty to eat and drink. During the day lager, wine, spirits, and coffee freely available until midnight. snacks available late afternoon and late evening at the pool bar. Daily enterrtainment was available if you wanted to join in. darts, golf, aerobics,shuffle board etc. Animation team I must say where very good in what they do always trying to please everyone. As it was the first week or so in November the hotel was very quiet only about seventy guests at any one time mainly French, German and Dutch and about six British. Some reviews said it was all set up for the French and Germans but we never felt this during our stay everone was very friendly. The main water slides were closed for the winter months as was the sea based activities. I would recommend this hotel for a quiet relaxing holiday .
We went to Naebol and Hammamet by taxi both about 5klms away from the hotel each cost 6 dinar (£3) both these towns have Medinas/Souks which are worth a visit but be careful as the shop owners are very aggresive and try to get you into their shop to buy, just be polite and say no and they will leave you alone. Took a day trip out to Carthage and Tunis including lunch 70 dinar (£35) a good value day out we went with A2B Travel .
Down points of the holiday and not hotel related: We arrived at Monistir airport to find that another 5/6 planes had landed within the previous half hour, we had to queue to get into the main terminal building to go through immigration and baggage collection, from landing until we boarded our transfer coach was nearly three hours and it did not end there as we were so long in the terminal our transfer left without us we had to find another transfer coach and wait until that left which was over an hour later and transfer time was 1.5 hours which meant from landing to hotel was nearly six hours I dread to think what it is like at the height of the busy period, the airport was nearly as bad on the return journey

We travelled to the hotel in the beginning of September, my mum 58 and me 23. First we were given room by the road which was noisy as there is a coffee just outside hotel with arabic music, but they changed it next day and we were moved to main hotel. Rooms we nice and clean, towels changed every day. We were also gived beach towels in the reception.
Food was very good for 3 star hotel, breakfast was simple, but good, typycal continental ones with pancakes/doughnuts made every other morning. Morning snack was just chocolate croisants by the bar. Lunch was good, always pizza and pasta, about 10 types of salads, 2-3 types of meat, few types of rice and couscous and cooked veg. Part of this selection was given for afternoon snack together with pancakes and kebab. Diner was similar, with slight bigger selection.
I don't recomend wisiting a la carte restaurant - we had one meal included there. but you just get food from the restaurant served on the plate.
Hotel staff was very friendly, typially chatting up girl, which they always do. There were a lot of animation going on whole day - joga, aquaaerobic, darts, dancing, petang, beach volleyball.... In the evening they always played bingo and made shows or played games, which was fun.
You also should try windsurfing and kayaking on the beach - it's free for hotel guests and good fun.
There is not much to do outside the hotel, few shops only. You can go to Hammamet or Nabeul for shopping, but you don't really get more than by the hotel.
In total, we enjoyed this holiday a lot, it was really good service for 3* hotel, highly recommended.

My whole idea of a good holiday was in this lovely package at omar khayam,myself my sons were very impressed with the artistic display in the resturaunt, which serves food we looked forward to eating, we were very happy with the clean orderly way which the hotel was run, the rooms are clean and charmingly located in lush garden surrounds which is impressively well nurtured. we loved our balcony room overlookin the lovely pool area which also included the theme park styled water slides, and lots of beds with parasols to finish the pretty holiday look. I was particularly impressed that the bar at this poolside discouraged to much alchohol, only serving light beer with a variety of refreshing pops for the kids,I could relax and sunbath knowing there would be no calamity involved whith my little un going up and down using the water slides, he was landed I was very happy, there are a wide variety of water sports to entertain us for free at the beach which inc wind surfing, this is definately a bonus attraction, there was lots of entertainment for the kids during the evening tooo, I have to say this was a lovely memorable week and will certainly be keeping the hotel as one of my possible options to return again in the future.

This holiday was in celebration of my husband's 40 th birthday which he celebrated whilst we were in Tunisia and turned out to be worse holiday ever! Transfer times to the hotel were a lot longer than we expected and when we arrived were told to eat lunch first. Which we did, only to find that we could not eat a single thing (admittedly we are all very fussy eaters but there was nothing!) The head waiter was good enough to cook us some chicken and chips. The restaurant staff we could not fault, our waiter was very nice and the head waiter arranged for us to have chips every day for the duration of the holiday, however some of the meats were not cooked properly. The pancake cook at breakfast would limit us to 1 pancake each but the French guy who used to come down at the same time was always allowed 3!!

THIS HOTEL IS DEFINATELY FOR THE FRENCH! The other guests made it quite clear that we were not wanted at this hotel, at meal times they would talk amongst themselves and actually point at us so we knew we were the topic of their conversations!! We were one of two English families at this hotel, everyone else were French. At one point near the end of the holiday we were asked why we were in this hotel as this is a French hotel, the English one is next door, the Dar Khayam.
My children who are 10 and 6 did not participate in any of the activities as all the other children were French and they were never invited! None of the staff even invited the kids along, they only spoke to us a couple of times and that was only to try and get us to buy a t-shirt for £12! other than that they didn't even try and encourage the kids to join in.

We were given an apartment in the hotel which had 1 x double and twin singles. The sections were offset from each other but there were no doors to either of the sleeping areas and the room was extremely basic, in fact all we had was 3 beds and a tv!! No fridge, no safe, you had a bath with shower attachment over but that didn't work so in the hot summer your only option would be to have a bath!
I found the room to be quite dirty, there were splattered blood marks on the walls in the bedroom and bathroom and under the beds were so much dust and fluff that they could not have been brushed in months! The towels could be changed everyday if you wished and beds were normally made daily although on a couple of days only 1 or 2 of the beds were actually made! I never found the reception toilets to be clean, they would have water all over the floor, no toilet paper and one even had loads of excrement over the bottom of one of the door.
The soft drinks from the bar were always flat, in fact the bar staff would fill up bottles of coke from the coke dispenser and leave them on the counter with no lids. The only time I ever had a proper fizzy coke was during lunch or dinner when a brand new bottle would be placed on the table.

We booked this hotel for the water slides which they have and these were closed for another month, in fact there were no water slides open at all. The only source of entertainment for the kids was the one small inside pool which we had to share with their sister hotel the Dar Khayam. We only spent one evening watching the entertainment all other evenings were spent in our room watching the only English channel we could find. The weather was extremely cold which did not help matters, in fact it was warmer back in Britain than it was in Tunisia! To end our worse holiday ever we were then picked up from our hotel 5 3/4 hours before our flight departed!

I personally will never book this hotel again, in fact my whole holiday experience here will definately make me think twice about ever coming to Tunisia again.
