Just returned from a two week stay at the Chich Khan and we had a fabulous time. The hotel is gorgeous, very spacious and clean. The staff are wonderful, they work very hard to ensure your stay is pleasurable and always have a smile on their face.
The food is lovely, breakfast can be a bit repetative but there is lots of choice for lunch and dinner and it is extremely well cooked, the whole time we were there we were not aware of anyone who suffered from bad tummies etc.
The kids loved it especially the pool and the entertainment team, there is always something going on.
The beach is a bit of a let down, very dirty and you get hassled every five minutes from street traders so no relaxing there, we only went once in the two weeks we were there. Out and about you do get hassled by the traders but most of it is light hearted and in good nature and a firm 'no thank you' does the trick (apart from Tunis itself which was very intimidating and one of our party got pick-pocketed), the constant harrassment can get tiring but you can help yourself by not drawing attention to yourself. You have to remember you are in a Muslim country and respect their culture, my advice is if you wouldn't wear it to go shopping in Asda then don't wear it out and about there. Basically if you show too much then you will get heckled.
The Marina is nice although very much still in development I can imagine it will be very special in a year or so time.
We went on a couple of trips with Thomas Cook and they were very well organised and reasonable, we particularly had a good time at the African dream which involved a trip to the national park and zulu dancers.
Downsides, not many, the sunbed situation is a nightmare and if you are not down there at the crack of dawn you have no chance of getting one, the harrasment - although its not too bad and the beach that could really do with an overhaul. On the whole it was a great holiday and exceeded my expectations, very relaxing and the hotel is great and really made the holiday to be honest, if you are booked up you will have a great time. A little goes a long way in Tunisia and if you show your appreciation for the service you get by tipping the staff a couple of dinar a day which is about 80p in our money your glass will be topped up as soon as it is empty and there are good bargains to be had if you can put up with the banter with the traders.
