Royal Thalassa Monastir

Excellent

Great place to visit, staff friendly and warm, perfect location, nice clean beach. Family friendly, awesome animation team (Sabina, Leo and Steve) kept us busy and entertained the kids. Super relaxing time, highly recommend visiting this hotel on your travels

Check-in was easy. They were very kind. We checked in at 1:40 pm and they said to go and get something to eat as the restaurant was due to close. We then went back to reception and checked into our room. This was all playing sailing and everybody was polite and helpful. Got to the rooms. We had booked Seaview and they were absolutely gorgeous immaculately clean and very large with amazing view of the ocean. Our maid was perfect in every way she made us little towel arts every day and always gave us a hug. Couldn’t ask for anyone better there’s a picture of her in my review. Let’s talk about food well the first three days the food was repetitive and cold. I like to sort this while I’m at resort because personally I could’ve checked out however the restaurant manager Saif couldn’t do enough to help us. He spoke to the chefs. He spoke with the top managers and the food, quality and temperature improved massively. I understand we were out of season. After he had sorted everything out, the food was really really nice, and I couldn’t fault the waiter Nizar ❤️ he went that extra mile, making sure we had drinks, topped up and knew exactly what we drank. It was my friends birthday while we were away. There’s pictures he decorated the table and made a real effort. Nothing was too much for Nizar. Bar staff Ala and Mohammed we’re absolutely amazing. They were really funny, too always had a smile on their face couldn’t fault them. The hotel itself is absolutely immaculate, the staff really do make this place and I would love to return when the season is in full swing. Being out of season, the pool was too cold to swimming in, but it was nice just to relax on a lounger Entertainment, staff, Sam and Torres made us laugh, and made us feel really really welcome The question is, would I return? Yes, if the price was right

The food is extremely poor it's cold the staff say you can place in micro wave. chicken and burgers served half cooked of hot plates pizza have been place out for eating half cooked doe still raw in middle rooms are old tiles are cracked in bathroom as well as sink been cracked 2 single beds pushed together some staff are great others are rude I would avoid at all cost

Where to start!!! All staff are amazing, Abdul from the shops, Allidan one of the bar guys, Farthy in the restaurant. All staff were super amazing, they would bend over backwards for you and they all genuinely care to give you the best holiday. The food was outstanding. The rooms were great and very clean. I would 100% recommend this hotel….. I will be back again. Thanks for such a wonderful holiday.

The staff are the shining light of the experience. They are friendly and really do their best to make sure you have everything you need especially the amazing animation team who were all lovely. I would 100% recommend this to my friends and family!

I never did any research on Thalassa until i booked, after reading a lot of negative comments i set myself for what could be a bad experience. In Brief this was a brilliant holiday. Firstly, book transfers with your booking, i didn't, reason why, the hour & 30 minuets transfer put me off. so, i booked a Taxi through Trip advisor thinking after the flight id be direct to the hotel . Taxi was on time & Great! But i was stung on the price. £70 English sterling i paid thinking that was a reasonable price. With the exchange rate from sterling to Tunisian, knowing know, we was stung really, so don't make that mistake. Take cash with you to exchange as Tunisia is a closed currency. on arrival to the hotel you have to pay tax, this was only a small amount, i cannot remember off the top of my head. There is a Cash machine at the airport across the road, 15 minuet walk. But try and avoid as you wont want to make this trip out after getting to the Hotel, Especially in the dark when your unsure of your surroundings. When you do exchange your English to Dina, keep the recipe! if you do not spend your Tunisian Dina, you can only exchange on your departure home at the airport, they will not exchange with out this receipt. They will not let you leave the country with Dina's either so you will loose it. A note on how much cash to take, i took £200 Sterling and came home with £60! you cannot spend it with how cheap Tunisia is. For every £1 you get 3.91 Dina's. £50 Dina deposit for Beach towels, you can exchange daily at the beach hut for fresh towels. Entertainment, Steve is the man! Great character, full of energy. Daily Activities, stretching from 10am pool side with music, water aerobics, Darts, ping pong and mini golf. Evenings Plenty on, we were spoilt with Mark Harrison, great bloke who was very good! Disco till 12pm everynight, Bar closes the same time. Drink options, the beer is good, small glasses are often given to you, say you would like a large beer, they give you a nice big glass, same for other drinks, white wine was very good, Gin also. There are waiters dotted around all day & on the night, they wont ask you for a drink until you ask, a small tip of 10 Dina, £2.56, your drinks will be served as soon as you run out with out asking, this goes a long way for the waiters. Food, i cannot fault the food, Brilliant in fact. If you like your meat ( chicken, beef & Turkey ) there are plenty on show. Nice fresh salads afternoon & Tea. If you are a fussy eater, there are fresh pizzas made on the pizza oven, chips and all your usuals. Tunisian dishes are good to try, cuss cuss is very good! Freshly made omelettes in the mornings with your choice of cheese, peppers & onions. Freshly squozen orange juice too. Avoid getting Taxi's, once you leave the resort, there are 5/6 cars out side, they will approach you and try there very best to get you in, dont, just say no thank you and walk. The train station is next to the airport ( 15 mins maximum walk
