Stayed for a week here at the Sentido Phenicia with my boyfriend we're 21 and 22. Just a quick review...
Reception was ok, the staff there were quite polite and friendly, its a shame the same can't be said for the staff in the restaurant.
Corridors to the rooms were very dark, didn't really bother us though.
Food was standard, you get what you pay for! Staff were very miserable unless you tipped them!! Went to the japanese restaurant which was quite nice and would recommend, we also went to the tunisian one, i didn't enjoy that one bit, but i did end up with a stomach bug so my view may be a bit biased!
Went on a boat trip, the catamaran, was very enjoyable, didn't feel safe walking around on our own around the port though. The pirate boats looked like alot of fun, but didn't have enough time to go on one of these.
DO NOT RIDE A CAMEL ON THE BEACH THEY RIP YOU OFF!
The beach was very nice apart from annoying people trying to sell you things. I usually don't enjoy going in the sea but i loved it on this holiday!
The pool areas are very nice too, you'll be lucky to get a bed though if you don't get up at the crack of dawn!
Entertainment was ok, we didn't stick around to watch it most nights as it was more for the children, just tended to stay in the bar area and maybe go for a walk on the beach. The entertainment staff were very friendly and did a good job considering how long they have to work and the hours that they do!
As i said i had a stomach bug after the second day of being there so that kind of ruined it a little for me, i definately wouldn't go back, my boyfriend seemed to enjoy it though!
