The hotel food was cold and the same everyday for lunch and dinner. Consisted of bread, tomato pasta, tinned spaghetti, veg rice, grilled salad? The tables and chairs were dirty. The hotel itself is 15 minutes taxi ride from other amenities although the beach is right on the resort but is dirty and full of broken glass and broken pottery. The entertainment was funny because it was so bad! Butlins and Kids concerts are much better. I had

I agree with al the comments about the excellent standards of cleanliness, entertainment,food, and friendly staff at Thalassa Village Skanes. Even though the British are totally outnumbered by the Germans,French,Italians,Russians,Poles,and Scandanavians this was not really a problem. Most staff speak reasonable English and seem to like the British. You just need to be aware. There is only one downside which you need to take into account. Although i have seen one report that aircraft noise is minimal, this is not the case. Aircraft operate throughout the night and the hotel is very close to Monastir airport. We found a good nights sleep was very difficult even using earplugs. This was a shame as everything else was great and we would return if it wasnt for that. If you are a heavy sleeper give this hotel a try!

i thought this was the best holiday i have ever been on the staff was fantastic and the food was great i have only just got back and am booking too go again in the next two months! the beach was amazing the apartments where very clean. i took my little boy and he had a great time plenty too do for children! the nightclub was good too and the pizza at 11 was the best!! i miss being there so much.

what can i say i had the most fantastic time at this hotel and will definetly be going back again the food was fantasic with a great veriety to choose from you must try the pizzas they are to die for
rooms were cleaned daily althought we did have a slight problem with our toilet the cistern was leaky but it was clean water so it was ok
animation team were fatastic and included everyone in everything
the proffesional photographs are also a must
the beach was exeptionally clean in fact possibly the cleanest i have ever come accross there are camel rides and horse rides but we never done any of them
the outdoor pools were very cold but the indoor 1 made up for that
best holiday i have been on for a while

On getting to the holel we had to wait to be taken to our room,the porter got lost.The patio door didn't lock on all the locks reported this to the reception right away on leaving it still had not been fixed.The pool has no lighting at night and makes it unsafe,there are no lifegaurds on any of the pool at any time also broken glass was found in the pool.The beach is a mess rubbish all over the area.There was 6 to 10 feet in width of brown,smelly rotten vegetation along the shore line and rubbish floating in the sea you could not enter the sea.There is a shop in the hotel it is owned by a person who has a shop in Sousse he tells every one he has a coach that will take you to a shopping centre were you will not be hassled,don't go; there is no shopping centre it is his shop and you will be push and intimidated into buying items over priced unless you politely and firmly let them know you are not interested good points the food was good and plentyful,staff very helpful (don't forget the tip).To me this resort doe,s not cater for the britsh tourist

I arrived back home from the Thalassa Village last night and i'm already planning to go back in the summer, this time with my partner. The hotel was excellent, the entertainment at night was excellent and varied (even with being there for 2 weeks). During the day there was plenty to do, with board games and sport activities eg crazy golf, tennis being available.
The food was excellent and there was always plenty to eat no matter what your tastes. Me and my friend didn't try any of the Speciality restaurants as she is a vegetarian, and there is a set menu. This is one thing that the hotel could do differetly, instead of their being one set menu have a few choices for each course so that there is more choice. However the buffet in te main restaurant was varied so you don't miss out if you don't go to the Speciality Restaurants.
All the staff are very friendly, and the animation staff especially DJ Ramzi, Mona, Nadja, Cocco and Amir are excellent as they all come and talk to you, even after they've finished work. There is always staff cleaning and the place is exceptionally clean.
The main bar is open 'til 12 with the disco open until 2am.
I would recommend going to this hotel as you definately get more than you pay for. I didn't go on any of the excursions, although they seemed reasonablt priced and everyone we spoke to didn't have a bad word to say about any of them.

Well worth a visit.

My husband and I visited this hotel with a couple of friends, we have been to Tunisia a few times before but it was the first time for our friends and they loved it.
The hotel is actualy not a hotel but bungalows set out around the beautiful grounds to form a villiage with its own private beach. There is a long drive leading upto it with security guards on them at all times and is kept very tidy and clean, as are the rooms they are cleaned daily and the maids are very friendly. The food was very good always lots of choice with fab deserts. The chef would make you fried eggs and omletts for breakfast just the way you wanted them, but there was always lots of other things the only problem was just what to have as the choice was so much. They also had 3 other resturants you could visit once each week A fish one, The international one and the Tunisian one where you where waited on. A nice idea but we actualy prefared the self service one. The allinclusive drinks where the usual but there was no limit on the amount you could drink. The bar closed at 11pm but then if you wished you could go onto their own night club which was again included in your all inclusive package.
The annimation team work very hard and are great Ingra, Mona and Nadia realy made our stay great, they even came and waved us off when we where leaving poor Ingra was in tears saying goodbye to the friends she had made. They also had some good payed entertainment comming in every other night.
Would I visit again. You just try and stop me

We entered a beautiful marbled reception area, staffed by smartly dressed staff who were welcoming and very helpful. We walked through the reception following the porter onto the most amazingly clean and beautifully laid out bar area. Instead of a hotel we we surprised to find that it is all bungalows, which are spotless, comfortable and spacious.
We decided to walk around the complex to get our bearings and we were amazed at how many staff worked at keeping the whole place clean, an army of gardners ensured that surrounding areas were clean and well cared for. Not one corner was left uncleaned by the array of staff who constantly cleaned and polished.
The Pool area is large and spotless with plenty of seating avaiable for all. The Beach was well cared for with very soft golden sand and again plenty of places to lie down. The police paraded up and down the beach on beautiful white horses to keep the touts at bay.
Around the pool and beach areas there are plenty of places to have a drink or snacks.
The main restaurant is the place to go for food which is buffet style, all you can eat, with themed nights.
The Childrens area is far enough away that you are not disturbed by noise and yet close enough for parents to check up on the children. The staff keep the children entertained all day in a beautiful safe area.
The indoor pool is hot and clean which is entered thru the Wellness Centre whose staff are very attentive and well trained, in fact I had a massage every day,paid locally.
Now for the entertainment and what can I say about the Animation team that would do them justice? This gand worked all day and well in to the night to keep their patrons happy. Thye walked around during the day chatting to make sure you were happy, letting you know what sports or quizes were on offer all day. In the evening they started with a show for the children, when that ended they put on very professional musicals and if that wasnt enough they then went on to run the late night disco (No you cant hear the noise).

Now for the minus points you should bare in mind. Do not buy any of the gifts in the hotel shop as they are cheaper in town. For goodness sake do not be afraid to haggle or you will be charge 30 dinar instead of 9 for a taxi into town as happened to an elderly couple. The shop keeper will give you a good price for whisky if you take him some. Buy your cigarettes at Duty Free as you may not get your prefered ones in Tunisia. Single ladies should be aware that the Tunisian men will try to compromise you as they are looking for a passport.
Do not go into town half naked as you will only bring trouble in the guise of men following you. The hotel has photographers going around snapping your photos, they are not a part of the hotel but rent space from them. Take your own photos as their photographs are very expensive.
We were the only English people there during the first week and we had heard from Brits the week after that they would never go back to this hotel as there was nothing for them. We did not find this as all staff speak English and the Animation took time to find out which language you speak to ensure that you are included in everything. We made friends friends from Germany, Holland and Italy and we dont speak a word of their languages. But we got off our bums and joined in a lot of the fun. Don't be a Euro Snob expecting everyone to come to you, get up and join in the fun, you will have a great time as we did. So much so we will be going back to this fantastic hotel as soon as we can.

The hotel was very clean,the staff were very helpful and friendly especially if you tipped them!

The food was ok a little bland but plenty to choose from. The drinks were local spirits and beer which kept running out and seemed to have little affect even when drunk to excess.the entertainment was fun and they try very hard to get the audience involed.

I was a bit dissapointed with the tea and coffee I wish I had taken my own!

This was my first time to Tunisia and the stories I had heard before going made me a little wary. No need though, we had a great time at this hotel but we didn't travel about during our stay so I can't really comment on the place as a whole.

The cleaners came daily with fresh towels, food was better than most A/I hotels I've stayed in with plenty of choice.

Entertainment staff worked very hard and always doing something. We thoroughly enjoyed this holiday and are returning with our parents in April.
