First time in Tunisia. 1 week stay as a couple. Hotel very nice interior and grounds. Clean and well kept. Room 608 sea view- comfortable bed, big shower room/toilet and basin. Bath robes and slippers. Hairdryer shampoo conditioner shower gel supplied. Liquid hand soap and moisturiser. Safe, plenty of space for clothes (unless you take far too much like me)! Bottled water left each day with room cleaning. I stored in the mini fridge. Lovely view from balcony. Food-a lot to choose from, basic and would cover most palates. (Although not like 5* Caribbean etc.) Main dining area wasn’t really an issue, but poolside bar no covers on food, doors left open to flies. Sadly I had an extremely upset stomach on 3rd day and lasted 8 days (with a sample sent to the labs by my GP, awaiting results). 2 days in the hotel room, the last 2 days spent not too far from a toilet! Alcohol- didn’t expect top shelf but no Malibu (they’ve never heard of coconut rum). Only a few cocktails, none of which tasted like any I’ve had before. Kept to soft drinks only, then water when I had the upset stomach. My other half mostly had beer and the odd whiskey. For several days I only ate dried biscuits and dried cake just to keep the hunger at bay. Pool- we used main pool which we really enjoyed. I’m an early riser, so beds not an issue. Beach- went to the beach one day. Very clean toilets here, well looked after and kept spotless. Beach bar and facilities very good. Pool bar, very busy, good service but sadly lack of choice from “usual” spirits and cocktails”. First all inclusive we’ve been on that this has happened. No info on layout of hotel, where everything is. It was a find out yourself mission. Entertainment- very poor for the amount of people and the space available in hotel and grounds. We were very bored in the evenings. There are so many possibilities for improvements. So many big spaces inside/outside under utilised. Violinist one night on the veranda. Very talented but… the choice of music very somber and depressing. Upbeat music around the pool, evenings would be much appreciated. Couples would be up dancing etc. The entertainment that was on, was only on briefly. This was a huge disappointment for us. Daytimes good, evenings boring. All staff very friendly and nothing too much trouble. Overall a relaxing break but unfortunately hindered by me having an extremely bad stomach.
