Overall Experience: We had a decent week-long stay at The Liberty Resort. It wasn’t excellent but offered good value for the price, surpassing our expectations. We sought a cheap, all-inclusive relaxing holiday with alcohol, food, and sunshine, and the resort mostly delivered, though there were some areas needing improvement and safety concerns. Room and Facilities: The hotel was clean, and the rooms were basic but adequate. While not a 4-star experience, it was satisfactory given the location and economy. We faced a few inconveniences such as limited electrical sockets, a detached shower head, a key/lock issue, and a bathroom bulb that needed replacement. These 2 latter issues were resolved quickly after reporting them to reception. There was a hazardous bolt/door stopper sticking out of the bathroom floor, which did cause a few injuries. The rooms were cleaned regularly, but towels and toilet paper were not always replenished. The beds were comfortable, and we didn’t experience many insects, likely because we kept the balcony door shut. Note: there were only two sockets in the entire room (and one needed for fridge), so bring extensions if needed. Amenities and Activities: The pool was nice, clean, and accessible, with plenty of sunbeds available and sunbed toppers provided for extra comfort. Various activities like archery, bowls, darts, water polo, and aerobics were available and enjoyable. The music was good, and the animation team made an effort to include and entertain guests. Be cautious about purchasing spa treatments or day trips, as experiences and prices can vary. Location and Excursions: The hotel is very close to the beach, but there’s little else around. Taxis to and from Sousse medina were overpriced, and we faced constant harassment in the market (not the hotel's fault). The quad bikes were excellent, and the boat trip was enjoyable. We preferred to relax at the hotel rather than explore further, so we can’t comment on other excursions. Food and Drink: The food had a lot of variety, including authentic Tunisian dishes, though options for kids or fussy eaters were limited. There were no English menus, which was often confusing. Breakfast was not great if you expect a full English, but the fresh pancakes, omelettes and croissants made up for it. The lunch and dinner buffets always included fresh salad and pasta, but chips were not always available, and the pizza was unusual. The alcohol options were not known brands, and the all-inclusive bar shut at 11 PM, which felt restrictive. The Zanzibar bar, open until 2 AM, did not stock the drinks on the menu. You might want to buy drinks at duty-free to bring for your stay. There was no BBQ or à la carte meal as advertised by loveholiday, but we did visit early in the season. Ask for bottled water in the restaurant if you want it for your room to avoid buying it at the shop. The waiters were very attentive with drinks around the pool during the day. Entertainment: The night entertain
