Never been to Tunisia before and travelling with a 18 and 21 year old. Quite impressed with the Royal Kenz, but reviews suggest building work is a real problem. Anyone know if it will be finished by July 09.

i am booked to go to this hotel last week of october , just received a letter from Thomson saying that the hotel is building a Thalasso spa to the side of the hotel , and that noise may be audible , also the indoor swimming pool gym, and sauna will be closed due to renovation , however guests can use the facilities of the adjacent hotel . Thomson will closely monitor the situation and database will be updated if there are any significant changes , they are also recommending that we contact the travel agent .
well to me they are significant changes , when hubby gets home from work i will telephone travel agent and see what exactly is going on , dont want to get there and be in the middle of a building site .
Has anyone been to this hotel recently and seen what exactly is going on .

we're going to the kenz 14/10 only booked yesterday.got an e-mail this morning from thomas cook about the building work and offering to change accomodation free of admin charge but would have to pay any price difference. checked on another forum that has new reviews and the general opinion is that the building work is not causing problems.so maybe the t/o are just covering themselves against complaints. we had a similar letter from thomsons when we were booked to go to bulgaria. our friends cancelled but we thought we would take a chance as it was just for a week,and there was no problems caused at all by building work. we had a great time. the trouble with changing hotels is that they nearly all have mixed reviews anyway so you're still taking a chance.

Bushbaby we were booked to go to The Kenz 25/10/09 , we booked this very early this year , friends of ours went in February and the building work was going on then . We also had mail recently telling us about the building work and that some facilities would not be available because of this , we were given the same options as you change hotel or cancel without loss of money paid . We chose to change hotel and now going to the Marhaba Palace, Thomson also honoured the difference in price whuich was a whopping £400 and more and also upgrade to a sea view. I'm sure you will have a great holiday at the Royal Kenz . were you told you could use the facilities of the hotel next door .we were

i dont think we got the offer to change without paying the price difference because it was a late booking. they haven't mentioned the facilities next door - do you mean the gym and indoor pool? its always worth giving thomascook a ring though. lets just hope the weather is still good!!

Yes, we were told the gym , spa and indoor swimming pool would not be available to use because of the building work , but we could use the facilities of the hotel next door . we chose to move hotel , because if the weather is not too good we would have used the indoor swimming pool . Will send you a pm

does anyone have an up to date e-mail for the royal kenz? there is one on here but i think it is for when they were an iberostar hotel and i believe they are no longer owned by them.
thanks
