We've been to this hotel last year (2006). It'a nice hotel, best fit for families with children.
Pluses:
+ great pool;
+ good food - you can eat as much as you can. We've been on HB, but we didn't need anything else.
+ nice people;
+ the room was cleaned and the towels were changed each day;
+ there are few guys near the pool which entertained guests. Don't expect something "wild". It's mostly for kids/wifes so you can have a quiet morning/afternoon near the pool. Those guys were pretty enthusiastic and they were doing a good job: they were pretty crowded. If you want more excitement, there are skijets and few boats in the neighbourhood;
+ Hotel is between Monastir and Sousse - about the same distance - and you can visit them both for about 7 dinars (around 4+ EUR) with taxi or around 1 dinar with bus. If you catch the bus, take it. It's clean, and it won't be much longer than the taxi travel;
Minuses:
- furniture was a bit old, with some visible age-marks on them. Still, it was clean and functional. Not sure if it's a real "minus", because if you'd go to a holyday, you're not going to stay much into your room;
- right out of the hotel's yard, there are a lot of guys who wants to sell you something. They're a bit pushy, but if you're ferm on your positions and say "no", they will go away after all;
- It's 2 km from airport. Sometimes you might be annoyed by the jets taking off. We weren't;
Other recomandation:
+ visit Tunis, Sidi Bou Said and Carthage;
+ visit the desert;
+ visit Sousse and Port El Kantaoui;
+ go to Medina from Sousse - if you like negotiate with sellers. If not, there's a state store right at the entry of Medina where you can buy almost the same stuff a little more expensive;
Conclusion - we'll go back there. And that's for sure. Theme: HotelPrice: US$120-180 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averagePhone: 216-73-521055
