Hotel was very dirty and old, beds were hard as rocks. Staff was good overall and the food at the restaurant by the pool was good despite the limited menu. The food for breakfast and dinner was not very good. The pool and beach area were good though, our son had lots of fun at during our stay. I will not stay here again.

The hotel didn't receive the Expedia reservation, so I waited around 1h until the problem was solved.
The good thing is, Expedia customer service is very active and friendly. And, we received an upgrade from the hotel to a sea-view room.

The service was very bad, just to check in it took 3 hours, the rooms and restaurants was very dirty. The air conditioning was broken. Very bad over all experience to the point that we checked out after one nights stay. That hotel shouldn’t even be opened to public, would not recommend this hotel to anyone!!

The location is fantastic, beautiful and large swimming pool, the garden is also very beautiful, the hotel is understaffed, the restaurant is a mess, not a place for relaxation, more for having fun with the kids at the pool, would work for families

It is definately not a place to be if you wish a comfortable stay. Minibars are empty, wifi does not reach rooms, the staff is helpless. there is no à la carte restaurant which means you will have to eat the very same buffet. It is a sort of very mean family all inclusive club, not worth the money you pay and certainly not five stars.

Hotel is in a good location and has nice facilities for outdoor time and access to the sea. The restaurant was good for the dinner and breakfast. Downside was the housekeeping was not the greatest. Only two towels were provided for a family of four and it was difficult to have them regularly changed. Extra towels are available for a fee which is strange for a hotel with two pools and sea access. No WiFi is available in the rooms and there is limited to no support accessories in the room such as hot water kettle, teas, coffee, iron etc. The kids enjoyed themselves but I could see a number of improvements at the facilities for a true four star hotel.

1- My booking was for 2 rooms, each with double bed , what we got on each room 2 single beds.
2- The booking was for rooms with pool view, what we have got ocean view as they do not have empty rooms with pool view.
Finally, called Expedia call center to complain and the call went for more than 15 minutets without any action and the person who answered my call told me that, we will call the hotel and call you back. Nothing happened on this regards.
Thanks for supporting your customers.

J’ai été déçu les photos sur le site sont magnifiques mais en arrivant dans l’hôtel déception les couloirs sales les vitres sales des matelas et lits bébé dans les couloirs pas de frigo dans la chambre le buffet du midi cher60 dinar par personne et peu goûteux j’ai fait une réservation hammam et massage la personne qui m’a fait le gommage je la retrouve le lendemain a nettoyé ma chambre donc cela n’est pas des esthéticiennes qui sont au spa,le linge de lits très anciens, produits d’accueil limité à 2 savonnettes pour trois personnes pas de gel douche ni shampooing
Petit déjeuner varié goûteux vue magnifique sur tabarka et on est à proximité de la plage l’hôtel ne vaut pas un 4 étoiles

Hôtel indigne d'un 5 étoiles
Hôtel surcôté, ne mérite pas ses 5 étoiles, à aucun niveau sauf le prix.
1 seul ascenseur pour tout l'hôtel, donc on prend l'escalier
l'eau chaude s'arrête en pleine douche
le petit-déjeuner indigne d'un 5 étoiles
l'état général nécessité une rénovation profonde
Bref, heureusement que nous ne sommes restés que 2 jours
Hôtel à éviter

bonjour, l'accueil trop froid avec quelques manières pas agreables, a arrivé la dame de l'accueil na pas trouver ma réservation effectuée chez hotel.com desuite cest apres une longue demie heure qu'elle a réussi à la voire sur leur système, en plus avoir bien etre installé dans la chambre qu'elle ma demandé de rajouté un supplément pour la taxe de séjour pourun enfant de 17 ans sans qu'elle mexplique de c'était une erreur de sa part en mettant le tort sur moi de fausse déclaration or jai bien mentionner 17 ans a la réservation (pas trop agréable).
en plus certains personnels ( ex : bagagiste...) parle de loin au Clientèles je trouve ça pas trop professionnelle.
le reste reste correcte
Cordialement.
