Good resort to relax, but the service & hospitality must be more, in general the value was not bad, Also the health club was not bad but the best place is the closing pool, the food is good but I'm not satisfied when I ordered from room service , it was not nice food.

The lobby area looks beautiful but after checkin the sleepless nights begin. The rooms have smell of wall paint or they are extremely noisy from the sound of people taking in the lobby 3 floors below you, if that does not bother you then try jazz being played until midnight. The rooms had mosquitos and veru tired rooms. The beach... More

This hotel provided absolutely far and away the worst travel experience of my life. I made the reservation months in advance, gave them my credit card, and received written confirmation. When I arrived in Tunis at midnight to check-in, with my written confirmation all printed out, they told me they didn't have any rooms for me, but that they would... More

This hotel claims to be a 5 star, I would say it was no more than a 2. The food was awful, overcooked and tasteless, the drinks were outrageously expensive, the lobby was full of Libyan rebels who smoked constantly so I nearly choked to death every time I passed through the downstairs. My room was nice but the staff... More

This hotel is in no way a 5 star. The food is inedible. At breakfast the boiled eggs are so hard the yolk is powder. The bread is hard before it's even toasted, the pastries are thick and doughy. The hot breakfasts are few and are also tasteless. The dinner is also a buffet and everything is either overcooked and... More
