Amir Palace

Very good hotel with a superb beach and pool!

My wife and I visited this quite big 5-star hotel with above average for Tunisia prices and more than 350 rooms and suites in the first half of October 2010. It is situated along a very beautiful sandy beach and very close to the International Airport of Monastir (about 3 km - so you can actually see from time to time a plane landing or departing) and about 7 km from both downtowns of Sousse and Monastir. All the rooms are air-conditioned and with balconies with either garden, pool or seaview. All the room/suites are equipped with cable TV, telephone, safe box, mini bar, there is a hairdryer in each bathroom. The hotel has several restaurants (the biggest one with around 700 seats and delicious food where all the guests eat), several bars and cafes (including a pool bar) as well as a night club. What I see as the biggest advantage of this hotel is its superb beach (great white sand and clean blue water) as well as the very nice outdoor swimming pool (there is also an indoor one) - for both of them you get free towels, umbrella and chaise-longue plus the good food and the above average service. What I didn't like so much is that you can't just get out of the hotel (there is nothing interesting in a walking distance), its size and the reflecting interior style in general, room furniture and even bathroom (with a lot of satin, marble, etc.) are too demanding and I would prefer they to be more modern and cozy. Some people complained that in other part of the hotel there was a bad smell of canalization, but we haven't faced such a problem. In general I will recommend this nice hotel as a good place to stay in Skanes-Monastir!

Unique Quality: Great beach and sea, its outdoor swimming pool, the delicious food served in the main restaurant
