“expected for the price”

Went for a family vacation with my family.

Beach: sand is ok, quite dirty, Tunisia overall has problems with garbage clean-up.. Water was awesome, bathtub temperature, pretty calm, not to deep. Not enough beach chairs for even 1/4 of visitors.. We were not the ones to enjoy waking up at 6 am, running to put out towels like the rest of people (hate that type of people). You cam to the beach at any time of the day and tada! all of the chairs have towels on.. without people though! Anyways, second day and until the rest of our 7 days stay we went to the public beach next to hotel's, paid one dinar per umbrella and lay down on sand without chairs. In the end we stopped paying since the proclaimed owner of the beach would get very friendly with us (he actually did not leave for hours sometimes..)

Food/Bar: quite bad. very bad indeed. Half an hour line ups to get a glass (2 max) of water. Want more than a glass, well stand at the bar and drink. No fridge in your room. Thirsty after dinner time then go to the store to buy water or die out of thirst. We like many other people bought a couple of bottles of water and started refiling them at the cafeteria during breakfast or lunch time. How pissed off was the staff! I mean just don`t call it all inclusive.. or at least expect people to need water in +40 and up. Food repetitive, fish disgusting. Some meat was ok. All one could eat for breakfast was hard boiled eggs and buns. Same thing every day.

Hotel: old but not the worse.. Staff ok, depending on the shift. The cleaning ladies were very nice, so were most of the cooks and servers.

Well overall, as many noticed, this is not an all inclusive hotel. Good experience for us to see that part of the world. Do not go to Tunisia in the summer time, way too hot!

Room Tip: As you arrive be nice to receptionist and ask for a room you want. Be super nice though! We got exac...

“Animation and service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011

people found this review helpful

It was a very good holiday ... a beautiful hotel, beautiful surroundings and a garden, clean and shallow sea, beautiful beaches, delicious food, drinks and excellent service in a beach bar and other bars and also in the kitchen. The rooms were old furniture, but they were clean. Every night was fun and interesting show, the animators were perfect, friendly and fun day we like different games: volleyball, petanque, aerobics, stretching, water games, salsa and more. Due to the great atmosphere, friendly animators show a perfect service and excellent returns there the next time a year and are already looking forward.

Room Tip: We had a room poschdí was old furniture, but still clean rooms.

“Wonderfull Beach, Bad Hotel!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2011

people found this review helpful

Me & my girlfriend were really dissapointed about Thapsus. Hotel is very old, and it smells bad everywhere. The room was OK, we became one with seeview. After few hours, our TV started to burn! As I came to reception, the man was very unfriendly! The food - not what I would call Good! Dry pastry at breakfast, lunch was nothing special and dinner was OK. But most of the food was swimming in oil!
The stuff was friendly, only at the reception the man is very very unfriendly!
The best thing was the beach. The see is unbelievable, clean like in maledives. But 80% of the chairs on the beach were broken.
All inclusive?? NOT AT ALL! No water in rooms, no fridge and on the bar you became only 2 glasses of drinks. No more!
The animation was friendly but the shows could be better. The music was too loud, so nobody could sleep until 11pm.
Thapsus Hotel, OK for young party people, but not for people, who wants to relax and chill in holidays.

“greedy management not what i would call all inclusive. very old dated rooms”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2011

Old and dated hotel. We were on all inclusive, Ice cream not included, espresso coffee not included, coffee and ice cream at x5 local price. waited 30 minutes for beer and served in tiny wine glass sizes and maximum 2 drinks per person lots of ques for our family of 8. Drinks very limited to local beer wine vodka, all of poor quality local. coke and other drinks were being filled into branded bottles within the hotels drinks dispensers, very poor. Try to close bars early to limit drinks given. Dont be fooled by the lottery ticket prizes which do not exist. internet expensive and when not possible to connect no refund. annimation team tried very hard but very low budget entertainment. resturant staff were the most pleasant in the hotel.
