We paid very little for a 10 day all inclusive holiday and I was apprehensive before we arrived. Apart from our transfer taxi driver not knowing where he was going and all Tunisians driving like maniacs, our journey was a pretty smooth one. The surrounding area is very... more

I found nothing much about Borj Cedria on the internet before booking- that's because I found that there is nothing much in Borj Cedria.... apart from 2 all inclusive hotels right next to each other and some very poor country surrounding. This does lend a reality check... more

Do not go if you are British full of French. The worst holiday i've ever been on. Nearly caused my Husband and i to Divorce as there was nothing to do, and what was to do was all in French. When we left though the gates it was like being let out of some kind of prison. plus... more

I went here with my 11yr old, 14yr old and 16yr old children, from 25th June to 6th July 2008 with a tremendous amount of trepidation due to the other reviews I had read. It took 2 hours in an air conditioned bus (with a very crunchy 3rd gear!!) to get from Monastir airport... more

Loved the Hotel, despite some teething problems.
from The.Disco.Diva
My family and I arrived at the hotel midday, after a tiresome transfer from Monastir. We were greeted curteously and were provided with refreshment on arrival as our rooms were sorted out. Were were shown to our rooms initailly we felt like our room was in the middle of nowhere, however on exploration of this huge complex we found it to be fairly close to all the amenities, the beach, the main hotel and restaurants, the aqua park the shops. Outside the hotel looks like a shanti town but just a short taxi ride or 15 minute walk gives you access to Borj Cedria's fairly good local transport connections to Tunis, Nabeul, and Hammamet. Also Hammam Lif is just a short walk along the very pretty coast. Although a majority of the staff speak little English they are very helpful as if they do not understand they will try to find someone who speaks better English to aid your enquiry. I speak pigeon French so got by fairly well, I did however take some time to learn a few arabic phrases before going to the hotel often pronunciation was an issue, but I gained some respect by learning simple phrases like, hello , good morning, thank you. The animation team are full of life and are very enthusiastic, they take time to get to know you and encouraging people to join in on the very full entertainment program during the daytime. After working so hard all day they then go on to produce evening shows to further entertain their guests, with some members of the team then heading to the Disco on the beach until the early hours where they all still diligently mingle with guests. Having visited Tunisia before I found the level on entertainment in this hotel far outstripped previous hotels that I have stayed in, which did make up for the fact that the hotel is in a very secluded untouched part of Tunisia, which to my mind gives you more of a contrast to the country you came to visit. The majority of the guests that were in residence when we stayed were German and Dutch with a few French and Italian. It was a little overwhelming at first but in joining in on the activities encourage unlikely freindships and the majority of them used me as a subject on which to practice their English. All in all We really enjoyed our time in Caribbean World and we are already planning a return visit next year!!!
interesting stay
from Kathryn_06
It's a bit of a mixed review of this hotel really. We booked last minute and had never been to Tunisia before. Got a bit of a shock as the bus started to slow as it looked like we were in war torn iraq. We were thrilled however when we got inside by the beautiful complex which was immaculate. Not being able to take any Tunisian currency into the country we only had sterling in £20's when we got there and the porter very 'kindly' said he would take 'quids' when i explained this to him, which took some time as his english was virtually non-existant. Not that I should really criticise that as I couldn't speak his language! Considering £20 too large a tip for carrying our bags about 100 yards I told him I would tip him later once I had dinar. He still did not want to leave and I virtually had to push him out of the door to get him to go. My friend in her room with her son did not fare as well and ended up giving him £10 to get him to leave. He approached me then about a further 3 or 4 times to remind me that he had carried my baggage until I tipped him. Bearing in mind the place is very remote and there is only the resorts bank, a few shops and a salon for miles around I hadn't changed any money for a couple of days. It did feel like every member of staff was lurking waiting for you to give them money. This was with the exception of the cleaners who were fabulous. On our second day I gave our cleaner about £2 which was all the change I had and every day she left flowers in our room and greeted me with the most enormous smile like I'd actually given her £2000!! The animation team were great, very enthusiastic but sometimes a bit too much so. They kept coming round and trying to make you join in with various activities such as aqua aerobics etc which being truly English I was not interested in, but 'no' didn't seem to cut the mustard. Our children one day had stones thrown at them by some German children whilst on one of the kids activities and rather than excluding the stone throwers our children were brought back to us. More than a little unfair I thought. They also have a man who we nicknamed Captain Lovely Jubbly because that, along with 'You will come on my boat today only 30 quids' was all of his english. Same with the camel man, who constantly hounded us to go for a ride on his camels. The food was ok as long as you like German sausage which bizarrely seemed to feature in every dish including the bowls of veg! Breakfast was good but my children lived on mashed potato and bread all week as most dishes were very spicy and often difficult to ascertain what they actually were. That being said the resort itself was beautiful and very very clean. The staff were helpful once you could actually get them to understand you save for one waiter who grabbed my 8 year old son as we were walking out of the restaurant one lunchtime, marched him back to the table away from me and berated him in foreign tongue for spilling salt on the table. How I didn't assault the man I don't know! And the reception staff were less than concerned when I told them. Don't think we'll be back. The place does not live up to its potential.
do not go here if you are English
from stacey77
Please take my advise, if you dont speak French as a 2nd Language, please do not go to this hotel, it is aimed at the french and italian, everywere other then english really. I dont like going on holiday and being over run by english people, but this one take the mik!! This Hotel is huge, and when we stayed they 10th september, the hotel was full, and they was only 8 english people, we all had to stick togther as we never would have got a room, food or a drink. They refuse to speak english to you. we payed for a seaview room with a balcony, and we got a view of a bush with no balcony, after being show 6 different rooms, still not what we payed for we gave up!! When we got to the hotel (12 midnight) to be told the hotel was full, and we had to stay in the hotel over the road for the first night!! We was not impressed!! By the way the transfer from Monistir airport is 2 half hours, so book a transfer. This hotel is big and great for families (other then english) It is the middle of no were so there are no bars and restaurants, so i would usually advise all inclusive, but even that isnt good as we ate the same food every day for a week (lunch and dinner). Animation team are good, and friendly, still dont speak very good english, but they will try. I realy do urg you not to go here unless you speak another language fluently.
Not half as bad as people say
from A TripAdvisor Member
I went with my wife during the May half term holiday, and I have to say that after reading the reviews we were a little nervous! It turned out that the worrying was unneccessary! Here are our views of some of the comments posted here. 1. People complaining about the transfer time are coming from Monastir airport, as from Tunis Airport (where we got off) it takes about 45 mins. Check your arrival airport. 2. The hotel is not expensive, therefore do not expect a week in an all-inclusive Hilton. The free drinks include wine (the red is better than the white) Brauhaus german beer (tasted fine to me) and a selection of Tunisian spirits such as Muscat and Bourkha. Coke, Sprite and Fanta are there also, as well as fruit juices (made from concentrate and sweet as hell!) On the food front it did seem to be the same things most days and nights. However we never went hungry as there was always something to eat. Items included lots of salad ingredients, pasta and sauce(s), pizza (usually cold) and fries, there was a whole range of vegetables cooked and the chefs served up stir fired meat and veg, and lets not forget the Tunisian speciality in the corner. 3. The rooms are basic. We had a King size bed, vanity area, TV (didn't work but didn't go on holiday to watch TV), wardrobe and bathroom. They are huge rooms and they all have a veranda/ balcony with chairs and table. If you are on the ground floor around the pool, then there are 2 sun loungers outside on the grass as well! Cleaned and mopped everyday. Beware mosquitoes in the evening. 4. Tunisia speaks arabic and French. This hotel caters primarily for French, German and Russian guest (the latter were noisy) if you are unsure if your school French, German or Russian is enough, and you think you may do a lot of talking, then don't stay. Luckily for me my wife speaks excellent French, so we didn't have a problem. Even so most of the staff will try in English for you. Overall, for a little over 300GBP per person for the week, we enjoyed our stay. We were not there in peak season and it was nice having only 200-250 people in the resort. It can hold a lot more! If people are really unhappy then there are always tours to go on. For families, from where we were lying, it looked like the animation team were doing their utmost to entertain the childtren with lots of activities. Can't really fault the place this time.
Certainly an experience
from LouiseMartin
I went with my partner and 13 year old daughter for two weeks and can honestly say we had a really good time and had a go at everything. The town is a short taxi ride away but please beware of anyone coming up to you, as you get out of your taxi, and saying they "work at your hotel" and "do you not remember them". This happened to us and we unwittingly went for an invited tour of the town with a man who said he was our waiter the previous night. After following him down back streets we eventually arrived at a carpet shop where we were press-ganged into buying a carpet we didnt even want. The Tunisians are quite bullish in their sales technique and we only went to the town on two other occasions. You have to be firm and just say no thankyou and walk away, which goes against the polite English way. The hotel had only been reopened a couple of weeks when we arrived and the Entertainment Team were all new but they were extremely good given the lack of costumes and props. The food was very good and varied and the pastries and cakes, a speciality of Tunisia, were out of this world! The room was very clean although the bath had been painted with gloss paint and should really have been replaced. On the beach there were activities for the children and there is a guard to stop the passing vendors forcing their goods onto the tourists. My only comment is they could do with a beach cleaning operation as there was quite abit of litter and I picked a broken bottle up from the sand and placed it on a wall because there were no bins. I certainly recommend the trip but I think two weeks was a little long, maybe 10 days would have been better.
We left after 2 hours...
from A TripAdvisor Member
My advice to all potential visitors: This is a very family-orientated hotel that caters more for Germans and French than English. The rooms are clean, but basic. Our TV did not work. The hotel is located very close to the beach, but nowhere near anything else e.g. no shops or bars. The wine is like vinegar and the other drinks included in the all inclusive package are limited (no vodka, gin or cocktails unless it's happy hour - we didn't stay that long!) The staff, on the whole, were very pleasant but if you are female and not travelling with men the younger guys will hit on you at every opportunity. And I mean ALL the time. We asked to change to their sister hotel in Hammamet and would definitely NOT go back!
Great for entertaining kids
from pandorabethan
We stayed at the hotel from 5th-10th April having moved from the Miramar Carthage Palace due to this hotel being unsatisfactory. When we arrived there were around 15-20 people, of these the majority were french and german, this did not pose a problem as it ensured that my school french was put to use. However, you should ensure that if you go to any hotel or travel in tunisia, go with a little french as this will go a long way to ensure that you can barter and not get ripped off. By the 2nd day of our stay at Caribbean world more kids arrived for my 15 year old son and things really hotted up!!, kids and adult entertainment staff are attentive, friendly, and engage you in all activities even if you just want to sit and chill by the pool with your book, they are not overbearing so respect you doing this also. I went to the Hamman and had a fantastic massage followed by a manicure and pedicure which was fantastic, I felt my son was safe at all times. The food is fairly good and a stay of longer than a week would have meant a touch of boredom would have set in. Taxi's are prohibitive in cost compared to the local train. If you want to travel to Tunis, take a cab from outside this hotel for a pound and jump of the old train at Borj Cedria which cost £1.75, takes 45 mins and you get to see the urban spread of modern tunis and its surrounding towns. The nearest airport is tunis airport and journey takes around 45 minutes, we had a really friendly driver who was alittle crazy but hey that is part of our experience!!!. All in all I would return to this hotel as it is cheap and cheerful and my son wants to come back and he is a really good barometre of hotel quality. The beach is ok, dont expect clear still waters, this is still the med and is cold.
My review...
from SarahWSheffield
Fristly, be warned about the time it takes to get from the airport to the hotel. I went with my boyfriend and after an hour long journey on the first coach we were transfered to a mini van with just us in. This took us an extra couple of hours as we flew to monastir airport instead of the nearer tunis airport. When we arrived there was little staff and none that spoke particularly well english, however they were really helpful and happy to help. The weather was generally really good, very sunny and warm. Although at nights it did get a bit chilly with a light wind. The staff were all really helpful, very polite and cheerful! The maids were also great and kept our room spotless. Even though we were both ill for quite a while the food was generally good. The breakfast was by far the best - pancakes, bread, eggs etc. But stay away from the weird looking chicken as it has loads of tiny bones. Plus the hotel does seem to be generally based around the germans, as some of the food was a bit odd. We stayed here for two weeks an only met around 8 other english people so maybe not the best holiday if you want to socialise and meet people. The beach was amazing! Lovely blue sea and golden sand. We loved the holiday! Oh and we had a TV in our room but read somewhere that if you wanted to watch it you have to pay at the reception for an ariel. Although we asked and they gave us one straight away and didnt have to pay a thing.
worth going. ward family. s.wales oct 2005
from A TripAdvisor Member
we had read some terrible rewiews about caribbean world before we left for our holiday and were very worried . we have just returned on the 29th oct 2005. we had nothing to worry about, the staff were very freindly, the food was very varied and very much edible with plenty of choice even for our 2 small boys. the hotel was kept extremely clean, our room was large and very clean. the beach was beautiful, plentyof sunbeds. the pools area was spotlessly clean. i would advice anybody to ignore all the poor reports they dont know what they are talking about!!!!!!!!!!!!! go there and enjoy.
Average ,Average, Average
from ChrisDAylesburyBucks
Well, the title says it all. First of all we couldn't beleive how long it took us to get there, something like 3 hours with no warning or stop en route!! The complex itself is okay, our room was good and kept to a hig standard, the flies were a pain but you can hardly blame that on the hotel, although they could maybe do a bit more to prevent them in the dining room. The Animation team were great, good laugh and full of energy. Food was hit and miss, one day it'd be great but the next pretty average and bland. All in all though a holiday is what you make of it and we had a great time, there were some language barriers because the resort seems to cater for mainly German, Polish, French and Russian guests but they can soon be overcome. In all honesty, in the first week all we heard from a bunch of Brits was how they wanted to escape because it was full of Germans and there was no chips, thankfully, they only stayed a week and then went home, leaving us to enjoy our holiday without their continued bleating on how fed up they were...........maybe Blackpool should becon for them next year!!
