I was there in June 2009, this was for the first time and although a third world country, found the hotel, clean, tidy and the staff were friendly, I had no issues at all with the hotel, even the bar on the beach they were kind and courteous, I think people who go to these... more

Read some negative reviews before departing and was slightly worried - but needn't have been. Hotel is basic but clean if a little dated but when you go with a young family the hotel decor isn't important. Staff throughout the hotel were fantastic - they couldn't do enough... more

Loved it!!
I stayed at the hotel for Christmas and New Year with my husband. Thought the place was great. The staff were good and very friendly. Brilliant value for money. Would definately go back.
2nd time - still great
This was our second vist to this hotel. We found the staff more than helpful. The hotel was very clean and basically comfortable. The beach was wonderful - but a bit of a walk away - so not recommended for those with mobility problems. Beach staff very attentive and accomodating. Only drawback was the lack of 'late check out' facility - difficult when you have an 11pm flight, however, with a little 'bartering' we were allowed to use the sauna/massage facilities! The hotel is situated just a short distance from Kantaoui - easily... more
Do not got here!!!
I could go on for ages about how awful this hotel is but I'll try to cut it short. Staff...rude, rooms...basic and dirty and no English TV channels, maids...thieves, pool...in shade (have to use sister hotel), beach...a dump. But the biggest problem was the hygiene. Our clean linen had blood stains, the pool bar tables were wiped down with old cloths and pool water. Everyone was ill and younger children were actually pooing themselves by the pool side. I got a SERIOUS case of Salmonella and then developed Impetigo as I was so run down... more
Holiday from hell
We went from 23/ 10/05 to 30/10/05 two families 8 people 4adults 4 children. what a disaster going here we all had food poisoning , so did other people around the pool. on the first day after being in the pool my husband had ear infection. my son had chest infection, and all sufforing with stomache cramps and the trots 2/11/5 all still ill. staff on reception ok but be warned bar staff dont like you if your all inclusive,dont speak to you because you dont tip drinks a joke only aloud lager wine and flat coke or lemonade if you asked for... more
loved it
First time visit to Tunisia and really enjoyed it. Hotel was very good, very spacious rooms had to move half way through holiday but the staff were very helpful. The food i admit was a bit bland but the waiters helpfulness made up for it. Entertainment was good and we got to know them over the two week stay. Pool was fantastic and kept us happy went to the beach a couple of times a small walk but clean and enjoyed the watersports on offer. really enjoyable stay would do it again.
Lot of potential
I was in two minds about staying here, after reading a number of reviews before the holiday I considered changing the hotel, however after consultation with other members of the group, we decided to remain with the booking at the Golden Soviva. However, the hotel reception staff were very unhelpful and never gave a response to any of my queries, the food was very bland as we do not eat beef, there was no lamb. We spent 4 evenings eating out in the Marina area (Le Medditarean and L'Oliviers are the best place for decent tunisian and... more
The Hotel "Survivor"
From the moment we got there, until we left, it rained, not the fault of the hotel of course, but it was definately to blame for a large part of the misery we endured for two weeks. The rooms were dirty, the swimming pool had human waste floating in it, the blue sea in the brochure looked more like a November day in the Bristol channel, and at one point we were the only people on the beach! the staff were quite sweet, as are most Africans, but they were fighting a losing battle trying to pacify the miserable English guests. ... more
What a fab holiday
We were a little concerned about going to this hotel having ready some of the reviews. We needn't have been. The hotel may not be 4 star by our standards, but if you read the brochure properly the ratings are based on the standards in the country you are visiting. As some people have no running water or electricity and live in breeze block built shacks I think the hotel was probably luxury. The food was fine. Breakfast was not to our liking so we had the freshly cooked omlette and pancakes. Food is available from 6.00am til midnight so... more
hotel soviva ok in port el kantaoui
have just returned fron golden soviva had a great time no problems with hotel although a little shabby in rooms keeping the waiters happy with tips they looked after us very well and made sure we were looked after, lots of children but was not a problem, we did not bother with breakfast as it did not look very apertising but the evening meal was good.
Waste of Money if you go all inclusive
Do not go to this hotel!!! We went all inclusive which was more like exclusive especially where the drinks are concerned. During the day all drinks are served to All Inclusive in plastic cups (if you're half board then you get a glass and are served by a waiter) in the evening you got a glass but no waiter service. Beer was warm (advertised as Stella which is wasn't) and you could not get a spirit such as Whisky, Vodka & Rum etc unless you paid. Local spirits is disgusting (no wonder the locals don't drink) Boukha, Citradine. So the All... more
