Perfect For Aqua Aerobics
by cheekymariehIt is located in some large gardens, has a good size pool and lots of facilities including: the hammam (sauna), beauty parlour, indoor pool, nightclub, evening entertainment, organised sports events, etc. The hotel and its grounds are kept spotlessly clean. The maids seem to be cleaning all of the time
The staff are very friendly and efficient though you may find the service is not so good if you are an all inclusive guest. You tend to get served quicker if you don't have a blue band on .
The entertainment staff in the hotel do a great job with the facilities avalable to them. You will find activities like aqua-aerobics, gymnastics, archery, darts, water polo, volleyball, etc and then in an evening they put on a show for guests and have a mini-disco for the children.
This is the first time I have known the temperature of buffet food to be checked when I have been staying. Unusually for most hot buffet dishes, they were of a good temperature. The restaurant has been recently refurbished and they now have an area where the chef will freshly cook the dish of the day for you while you wait. At breakfast times, you can feast on freshley made crepes.
The three different rooms that I have stayed in have all been large compared to many other hotels. They are basic but serviceable. Don't expect to find a TV or hairdryer in your room.
Location wise, this is a good choice. You are about 5km from the airport, 12km from Monastir and about 18km from Sousse. All are easily accessible by the local bus (which stops virtually outside the hotel) or by taxi (expect to pay about 6 dinar to Monastir and about 8 dinar to Sousse). The only disadvantage is that there are no shops or cafes within easy walking distance. There is, however, a go-carting track about 5 minutes walk away and you can always go into the bars of some of the other hotels for a drink (and change of scenery).
Nationalities catered for in the hotel seem to be British, Polish, German, French and Czech in particular.
