Found the food very tasty and am usually the first to have upset tummy on holiday, but not even a rumble.

Cleanliness was spotless and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Good location for the week we had anticapated i.e. relaxing by the pool and on the beach with a couple of outings, entertainment fairly basic.

An excellent 14 night stay, considering all we wanted to do was lay round the pool. Not particularly interested in excursions (this time round). Will definately be returning to this hotel. The staff were incredible - nothing too much trouble and very friendly.
Recommend the A La Carte Restaurant, especially the young waiter in there - he is amazing! Neither of us have ever been served so well any where else in the world!
The only down side would be the evening entertainment (or lack of!) but most nights we were ready for bed by about 10.30 anyway, so it wasn't really an issue for us!
We had just the holiday we were looking for, and wouldn't hesitate to return.

This hotel was lovely. Exactly as it stated in the brochure.

The staff were super friendly and tried there best to do anything for you. A 24 hour reception makes life somewhat simpler as well.

There wasn't a bit of dust or dirt to be seen anywhere, not even by the poolside. It was spotless.

The food was also exceptional, always hot and fresh and will cater for all needs. The choice of desserts was great as was the general choice of foods. I didn't hear of one upset stomach from this hotel. Tuck in!

The location is as it says, it is in the quieter part of the Port but it's not a bad walk down the beach or just jump on the noddy train which picks up from near the entrance of the hotel and costs about 50p each. If not a taxi will cost no more than

Would definately recommend this hotel, the hotel was spotlessly clean, a grand marble and water fountain main lobby area, staff bent over backwards to serve, help you.

Try the piano bar, we loved it in there as it was so cosy, there was a piano player about three times a week, who was good.

The pool area was lovely, no problem getting sunloungers, towels provided here, and the pool was lovely, and it was lovely to have it quite deep 2.2metres at the deep end. There was a childrens pool as well. The pools got very warm by the end of the day.

The animation team worked very hard and were entertaining. The private beach area was lovely with lots of loungers. There was water sports here but we did not really take part in any. The beach bar is nice for a sit in, and gets the breeze a bit better so when it was very warm was wonderful. It got into the early 40's on the last few days of our holiday!

There is some entertainment in the hotel, the animation team put something on every night in the ampitheatre, which was worth a look, but it cost 10 dinars to go in. There was a night club as well, but we did not go in there. There was some entertainment in the main lobby area (vast) such a belly dancers etc. They were alright but nothing wonderful. Enjoyed sitting outside on the verander at night, the pool all lit up with the fountain going - bliss!

It was a lovely, hotel, rooms cleaned every day, and the food was wonderful. We never had any tummy problems and although we spoke to lots of people never came across anyone who did. There are safe deposit boxes in a room near reception at a charge of 5 dinars a week, which was very resonable and handy. The lifts are all glass and great fun, we were on the fourth floor and it is sooo high up, but we loved the experience. Go up on to the room via the access doors at night and enjoy the views of PEK at night.

The hotel is not really within walking distance of PEK except at night, as too hot during the day. We walked back one night and it took 20 mins strolling. A taxi is about

Stayed at this hotel on our honeymoon for two weeks and we couldn't of chosen a better hotel. Chandelers, marbel floors. Waiters and bar staff in suits with dicky bows, the lot. You couldn't even pour your own drink! The rooms are cleaned every day, but if you don't want it cleaning, leave your do not disturb sign on the door.

It doesn't matter if you are put in a room at the front or the back of the hotel because both views are great. The front looks over the long stretch of fountains and the back overlooks the pool and the sea.

You should defently try the a la carte, very cheap, a five course meal for two, with two bottles of wine, 60 diner (less than

I took my partner here for his 40th birthday at the end of April. The weather was good uopn arrival for a couple of days, but soon deteriorated into rain and abitter cold wind.

I was most impressed by the vastness of the hotel. When we arrived, we were greeted by a huge reception/bar area with marble floors, crystal chandaliers, and water fountains. It was most impressive. The glass lifts were fantastic! Although not good for people who are scared of heights!!

I found the hotel was situated a little out of the way, but taxi's were always readliy availabe outside the hotel if you didn't fancy the walk.
The hotel staff were absolutely brilliant. They couldn't do enough for you!

The rooms were very well equipped, and were cleaned daily. The hotel in general was impressively clean.
The food was gorgeous. Plenty of choice. We did pay extra for lunch one day, (two pizzas) which wasn't very good.(not much coice). I was in bed for all of the next day with a really bad tummy. But when I didn't go down for breakfast, they arranged a surprise breakfast in bed!!

The evening entertainment was ok. (drag queens, magic acts etc).We were just grateful of having something else to do, other than sitting in the bar all night!

I wouldn't recommend this hotel/resort for anyone seeking an active time. There isn't much to do at all. We did go on the quad bikes and the boat parachute thing...these were great fun.The beach was nice and quite, and only a quick stroll from the poolside.

The Hotel is stunning with glass lifts and a wonderful reception, felt like a 5 * luxury hotel. It is kept brilliantly clean and tidy. The staff are all keen to help and always have a smile for you. The location was good for us but we didn't venture too far out of the complex - we didn't feel we needed to, the hotel is right on the beach and everything we needed was there at the hotel (including shops, hairdressers, and small gym.) Went to the port for shopping and ate there which was great for a day out.

The pool was beautiful (Never Cold!). And there is aqua-aerobics to get you off the sunbed once a day if you fancy it!

The food was great with so much to choose from including plenty of english food should you feel the need for some home stodge! The kids especially loved the fresh pancakes every morning with their choice of topping we loved the fresh fruit (of course with the pancakes!). Evening meals were buffet starters and waitered main course - always loads to choose from and if you didn't want anything on the main course you could get soooo much from the buffet (including a wonderful lasagne).

We did all have stomach upsets but nothing severe a visit to the pharmacy sorted us all for the rest of the holiday. (The rep says it was due to the rich cooking oils they use - who knows!?) We certainly didn't let that spoil our holiday.

The entertainment wasn't fantastic but enough to keep you amused cheesy magician) The staff did a brilliant job of saying everything in italian and english and if I remember correctly german at times as well. The kids thought the staff were great and certainly had a good dance around and joined in the games after the initial shyness.

We would definately visit again - more reguarly if it wasn't in Tunisia.
