Visited September 2010. We had a fantastic 14 sunny days here, however we paid next to nothing, aren't fussy eaters of alcoholics, so all was grand.

Room had good view, Clean sheets and towels daily. Air con and amazing water pressure for shower.

Friendly reception and house staff. Bar staff do not serve in order It's frustrating, With only local spirits, that did run short at the end of the night, watered down spirits especially in the disco & only half a pint served at a time, the red wine is you best bet but you will unhappy if your a big drinker. Animation staff did their jobs, entertaining the teenagers and pensioners.

Food was fine, everything hacked, nothing trimmed or carved so picked the meat in your stews carefully. Burnt beans one morning and lots of rabbit . Big restaurant so you need to be calm at times. The waiter serves your drinks, tip him and try to sit on his tables for your stay for a fast drinks service. Two 2 “A la Carte” restaurants: Tunisian and Italian we lovely, we went 4 times, you book with reception at no extra cost.

Beach is sandy and clean, lay your towel by 5.30am or tip the beach staff just b4 breakfast for a AM sun bed but you could grab a couple by 2pm . Above was the beach bar, lovely to sit at all morning with coffee and hand made pizzas.

The hotel and quite grand relax in the Turkish coffee/smoking area.

Bus and train links great. Forget airport transferees get a taxi, don't get mixed up with the Houda golf, some reviews and agents have. Beautiful Spar attached, worth paying for treatment.

The food at this hotel is the worst I have ever had, there are 3* Hotels that should be rated as 4* and 3* hotels that should 2* but this Hotel sould be rated as 1*, three days after I arrived with my family I was down with tummy problems, it tooks three days of injections and 6 days of anti bi -otics and a £90 bill to put me right, and there was a lot more people poorly.

You have been warned.

quite close to the airport, some towns around. food ok, beach - waste of space. hotel itself would recommend, for a beach would go to other hotel near by. sadly dont remember whats its called, but it had mini z00.

Myself and 2 girlfriends (aged between 20-25) were looking for a last minute, all-inclusive cheap and cheerful holiday to just relax and sunbathe for an entire week. We had never thought about Tunisia before, but seeing as it’s a little different than the usual Spain and Greece we thought we’d go for it. We arrived at the airport and managed to get a taxi across to the resort (always get a taxi, only a 2 min journey and cheaper than transfer)
The main lobby was quite busy with guests as we arrived late in the evening; we then checked in at the reception and were taken to our rooms with our bags by the staff.
Our room was clean, comfortable but wasn’t luxurious by any means. The hotel itself seemed a bit outdated, but – we were excited for sunbathing and relaxing we just had a few drinks and went to sleep.
The buffet restaurant serves food 3 times a day (breakfast/lunch/dinner) with croissants being served outside at the pool bar between the buffet times – there was also a crepe hour every day (however, with only one person making crepes the queue was always very long!)
The food in the restaurant got quite boring and bland after many visits; the choices were chips, fish, chicken, veg, pasta, etc and some nice (but odd) deserts.
The alcoholic drinks were very watered down, and you had to queue again for these, in fact you had to queue for everything – a lot of patience was required. And as we found, not everyone understood the concept of queuing and a lot of people just pushed in.
The pool was nice and cool, however if you’re not up early enough to reserve a sun bed then you won’t get one! We found the beach the best place to get a sun bed (or just put your towel on the sand) and a tan especially with the cool breeze. It was really good to have a nice beach so close by.
The nighttime entertainment was pretty awful, not something a group of girls our age would find entertaining! However we went on an organised night out to a club in a near by city which was fab, it was great to taste full strength cocktails again!!!
The staff on the resort were friendly and we managed to have a good bit of banter with them, we even got one guy who worked on the beach to reserve us a sunbed each morning!
All in all, you get what you pay for. We paid just over £300 for one week all-inclusive, (I would definitely not stay for 2 weeks, one week was enough!!!) we were not expecting the lap of luxury and we certainly didn’t get it. However, a holiday is what you make it, we had a great laugh and managed to make the best of the situation, I’m not going to slate this resort because its not top of the range but its still good to get away from home if you cant afford much and get a nice tan!
