We have stayed at this hotel a total of ten times over the past 5-6 years.

This hotel has a lovely atmosphere, admittedly it is aimed at a slight older visitor, and is not really suitable for those who expect a lively night life. However, there is a disco based at it's sister hotle the Abou Sofiane.

The hotel is spotless from top to bottom, including the garden and pool areas. The staff are just wonderful, always very helpful and after our many visits there we also get a fantastic reception for the staff.

The dining areas are always very clean. The choice of food is vast, even the most fussiest of eater will find something.

All the rooms are very spacious, and there is a maid service every day.

The main area of the hotel eg. reception, coffee lounge, bars are well looked after.

All in all the hotel is one of the impressive we have stayed in (we had been in 3-4 other hotels over the years). The only downside we have found is the animation team, who are unfortunately lacking in imagination, the same round of shows have been going for many years and repeat visitors have seen them before. Having said that the animation team do work hard during the day with other activites and still have a show to perform every evening.

There are also facilitied for the children (based at the sister hotel Abou Sofiane).

It is a short walk onto the main town, which even at night we felt very safe. The people of Tunisia are very friendly.

go on a diet before you come to this hotel, food is superb, and we were all incl., free tea and coffee ALL DAY TOGETHER WITH SNACKS FROM THE POOL BAR, all excellent., fresh pizzas, lovely., cooked to order.
The staff are first rate from managers right down to the maids, all so polite and attentive., the hotel is excellently laid out, with lovely gardens,super pool area, and plenty of activity in the form of more gentile games, if you want to go completely mad go to the Abu Sofiane the sister hotel, for more lively action. the reception area is traditional Tunisian and the coloured glass around the ceiling is something to be see, when the sun is shining through, if you get the chance ,give this hotel a visit.Our rep Martin Smith from Thomas Cook., knew anything there was to know about Tunisia and was a credit to Thomas Cook, extremely, helpful and courteous.

We arived at the Hotel expecting a long check in que with a wait from hell but to our amazement were told immediately to go for dinner and all would be ready when we came back.

We finished dinner and hey presto porters had the cases ready for the rooms and one small form later were in our room.

The bar has a first class barman called "Eddie" I think? he can clear a 40 foot bar three deep in under 2 and half minutes without having to ask a second time what you want to drink. He does this throughout your stay WITH RELATIVE EASE.

Shopping is an adveture and if you like barter and haggling youll love the shops. Prices are what you make them. Eddie and his boss like Glenfiddich and your stay can be made more pleasurable with a couple of litres of the tipple.

Shopping can be good with a bottle or two as well....
