I did ask for advice on this hotel before I went as I was concerned as to the lack of information on the hotel and area....now I know why..........there are no English people there !!! in a hotel of 200 ish rooms there were only half a dozen UK holiday makers. I have no idea why Thomsons send people here, it is totally geared up for the European market and is very popular with generations of assorted italian, french and German families who arrive in large family groups and have a splendid time which is lovely for them, but does tend to isolate other guests.
The staff were mostly polite, but struggled with English and the actual location of the hotel is miles away from anywhere. I usually like to go for a stroll of an evening time, but there was no where to go to, just a long dusty road.
My comment TOO LATE refers to the tourist industry which apparently was quite lively about a hundred tears ago when Mahdia was the place to go, but now it is a very quiet fishing village and nothing much happens, you can spend a day there, but their would be no reason to return.
On the positive side the hotel location is very good and every morning we saw a beautiful sunrise and the beach was clean and safe. The pools at the hotel were always well kept and the Activity team worked hard to keep people occupied. The food was a total mix of all sorts so you could always find something nice especially in the pudding department ! So after 10 days I was content to go home very rested,brown and probably a lot heavier. I won't be returning to Madhia.

i recentley stayed at thallassa mahdia i should still be there but we got an early flight home because it was so bad.no hot water no wardrobe space and no heating that worked .we complained moved rooms twice nothing ever got fixed .beaches were disgusting dirty clothes and footwear all over the beach.entertainment was poor .there were supposed to be bars close by they were 1 hour by foot or 15 mins by taxi ,when you got there no bars sold beer hardly any shops and you got hassled where ever you went .hotel was in the middle of nowhere.we spent money going to sousse which was 1hour 30 mins by train just to get out of this dump .staff weren't very helpful unless you spoke french or german.this is a 4 star hotel i would recommend it be a 2 star and strongly recommend thomsons do not send customers here .nightmare.
