This is my favorite hotel, surrounded and constructed in a style you never will find again, the founder integrated the palmtrees in the hotel as natural element, as a reverence to the nature of this region. you will wake up with the twittering of marvellous birds and you will sleep with the soft rumour of the palmtrees , a hotel with an human and a natural touch at the same moment , a jewel.

We stayed here on a two day safari trip. The service was pretty grim and they seemed to charge whatever they wanted for drinks. Sometimes you got a glass as well!! We were up very early the following morning and not particularly hungry which was good because the food was covered in flies and so just went for the boiled eggs. Accommodation was circa 1940s. Bedrooms were large and clean but very dark. Wooden beds were creaky and so not a great nights sleep. Had some air conditioning in the room which was welcome. Pools were cracked and did not look overly clean. I did not see a filter system and they were kept topped up with hose. An experience to say the least!

This hotel was the one used by our tour operator for our overnight stop on the 2-day Saharan Tour... but as we were staying at a very cheap hotel in Sousse, this was actually a step up in quality!

Setting really did look like paradise with palm trees and gorgeous little pool, which I didn't have time to try out. Rooms were in simple 1-storey "huts" but clean and quite charming and air conditioning worked.

Food was OK.. nothing special (apart from being served at 4am in time for our pre-dawn departure across salts flats!)
