Things To Keep In Mind

Had a great holiday here last year and came back again this year. It was even better. The animation team put on some very fun shows. All other staff very good. I love the fact it's on the beach but only a brisk walk to the historic centre of Sousse.  I absolutely loved my room and the view.

We went here for the 2nd time in Tunisia.. it was just as amazing as the first time! We absolutely love this hotel. The bar staff are so attentive to your needs, you never have to wait too long for your beverages. Any tip you give them they are so appreciative.

The animation staff are amazing, always walking around speaking to the guests, gauging where they’re from, the languages they speak.. the day activities are always good! The evening entertainment is so inclusive of the guests makes you feel welcome and right at home.

A special shout out to Faz, Khaled & Ben ( a few of the animation staff) you went above and beyond when doing their jobs, thank you for your kindness.

The rooms are very decent, had an issue with a loose shower head holder, called reception and maintenance fixed this within 20 mins of calling. Rooms were cleaned daily with precision and the cleaners are so lovely.

All in all, I recommend this hotel for many reasons, I will be retuning as usual xx

This place should be 5 stars for everything.
So near to beach. Everyone helpful. Rooms perfect, hotel good spec. Food amazing. Good for solo travelers like me. Nice beach Access with bar and beds and shades. Water beautiful and not cold in December!

3.5/5
This is a hotel of 2 half's, meaning my partner enjoyed it (except last night) and I did not enjoy it.
What my partner thought, rooms where good, food was ok (more fresher fresh fruit would be nice) pool loved specially the pool bar, drinks were knock you head off strong, had to tell them to weaken them.
The entertainment team were the best we've had ever! They we're so engaging and friendly always happy and would do anything for you. Staff always happy and friendly.
What I thought, rooms could of done with more lights in, bathroom same. It was clean but to me didn't feel clean. Food, well I thought I was in Tunisia but the choice would have thought I was in a cheap pub shame, the Al Carte was so poor we left half way through. Drinks not for me, cheap alcohol and not great choices.
What made it for me was the entertainment team they was so good, evenings they put on great shows, during day always trying to get you to do the activities or making sure you was ok. The rest of team was very friendly and always happy (except cpl on reception)
Would I come back........ I dont know but know partner would.

Good stay overall, with pros and cons.

The lady at the reception asked us to give a 10/10 rating on Booking.com in exchange for a late checkout, which didn’t feel right.

She asked us to fill out a form and later expressed dissatisfaction with our grading. A staff member interrupted our lunch to have us justify our evaluations. The minibar was nonexistent, so we couldn’t give an “excellent” rating.

Guests tend to reserve beach and pool chairs very early in the morning by leaving towels on them. As a result, it’s often hard to find a free spot. I personally don’t mind lying on the sand, but others might find it frustrating.

The sand is clean and the sea is warm — really pleasant.

The food is average for this type of resort. However, the restaurants are quite noisy during meals due to the cleaning process — the sound of plates, glasses, and cutlery can be overwhelming. The large crowds also make conversations louder.

Bartenders at the main counter are friendly. Those serving outside become more attentive once tipped — otherwise, you’ll likely get drinks in plastic cups instead of glasses.

Kids’ activities are fine; Sarah is very kind. The pizza-making activity was fun, though the pizzas themselves were unfortunately not edible.

The best part was the room — spacious and with a beautiful view over the garden with sea view. The downside: it was noisy at times because of the kitchen ventilation system located nearby.

The hallways need renovation — the flooring is worn, and some cables are hanging from the ceiling.

The two elevators are often busy. It wasn’t a problem for me since I used the stairs, but it could be inconvenient for others.

The lobby and atrium are large and inviting.

Gardening wasn’t at its best, though I did see some maintenance work being done.

Overall, the hotel is clean and the housekeeping staff does a very good job.

In summary: A generally good experience with room for improvement.

Thank you to Mouna, Mohammed, Sarah, and everyone we met during our stay.

It was a wonderful 8 days (05.2024). The hotel is very nice, we had a room overlooking the hotel entrance but it was nice and quiet. The service is wonderful, both during meals, at the pool, on the beach, room service, at the bar ,at the reception, etc.
The food is delicious and people during the meal are so friendly and helpful.
We gave tips but not because we have to but because we want to.People working there really deserved on it.They made good job.
We recommend this hotel to everyone and we will definitely come back.

am Dr. Husam, and I travel frequently.
I found this hotel to be very welcoming, with kind and friendly staff and excellent food.
I would especially like to thank Ayman, who is responsible for the restaurant and services. He was very professional, helpful, and attentive.
I am very happy with my stay and truly enjoyed the experience.
Highly recommended.

My stay at this hotel was generally fine. There were plenty of dinner options, but the food wasn’t very tasty, breakfast was better in comparison. The staff were overall friendly, but the experience felt a bit underwhelming for the quality I expected. It’s acceptable for a short stay, but not remarkable.

The main issue was being asked to fill out a satisfaction form and then having each point questioned in detail, which already felt inappropriate. After that, I was directly asked what rating I planned to leave on Booking.com. This is inappropriate and violates review policies on both Google and Booking.com.

I genuinely would have given this hotel 3 stars based on the stay itself, but pressuring guests about their rating is unprofessional and harms trust. Please do not ask guests what review they intend to leave. This tactic only damages your reputation.
