I visited last year & as i was thinking about my holiday i thought i'd read the reviews.
I didn't pay a great deal for this holiday so my expectations were low anyway. We had a great flight & when we arrived we were faced with a very long coach journey (about 3 hrs). It was night & we slept through the whole thing.
When we arrived we were put in a room which was quite like a chalet. it had a large double bed & bunk beds, which for 2 people, it was very roomy. It wasn't the most glamourous, it had a bed, toilet, bath/shower & was clean, what else do you want?
The food was ok, the same old things everyday, pasta, salad, meat & desert. You don't have to queue for that long!! 5 mins max (& i went in the summer hols!)
There was a lovely snack bar which made fresh pizza throughout the day & they were lovely. I had 2 pizzas everyday & filled up on those instead of the other food. But i must say i never saw the breakfast because i never got up that early!
The staff were lovely. Ok i'm 19 & my boyfriend is 20 & we enjoyed playing some of the games. We actually made very good friends with the young lads who worked VERY hard at the hotel. Bless them they get up for 8 & they do not go to bed untill at least 3. Most of them can speak at least 4 languages (french, english, german, arabic & czech) so yes the hotel does cater for ENGLISH people. The bar staff were all very polite.
We soon became wise to the all inclusive aspect, when we went to get drinks at night, we would get 6 at a time, that way it saved us queueing for a while whilst the evening show was on.
If you really don't want to watch the entertainment, Tunisia comes alive at night & a short walk along the beach front takes you to more pubs, bars & outdoor cafes & its very nice.
Altough i must stress as a young lady with her boyfriend i was very intimidated by the Tunisians as of the vast amount of them that appear at night, but we were in safe hands with the friends we made.
All in all, it is a cheap holiday. If you are expecting room-service etc then don't bother going. The rooms are very clean (cleaner comes every day & changed beds & towels ever day, infact she made shapes with our bed sheets like shells or bows & often put fresh flowers on out beds), the food is edible & the enterntainment staff work their socks off & are very helpful & polite.
I enjoyed it but then again it was better than i expected for the money i paid.
Hope others enjoy it like i did
