my friend and I bought this holiday as recommended by Thomson.
We were sexually harrassed throught the day by the male staff our romm was changed to a bungalow due to the filth only to discover the bungalow was worse. The pools were not safe. The drinks tasted like white spirit & you could not see what you were being served. The food was inedible. We paid over £800.00 for an all inclusive week November 2009 & we spent 80% of our time in our dirty room wishing we were home. Thomson staff took note of our complaints & said they would sort it but on our return we are in arbitration & Thomsons legal team are calling us liars. THIS HOLIDAY IS DANGEROUS FOR FEMALES PLEASE DO NOT STAY HERE not even a man can protect you from the remarks the touching etc.

We have just returned from a weeks stay at this hotel and had a very enjoyable holiday.
The weather was fantastic,the food great and the staff especally the animation team excellent!!.One was particually very good Billy take a bow!!.The childrens entertainer
Mona made friends with my daughter and they were together for most of our holiday.Leelia
behind the bar was very helpful and notning was too much trouble.One fault I put across
when we left was the nigntclub bar its never open so you have to keep going upstairs for your drinks.Another thing if you have a teenage daughter you need eyes in the bback of your head!!.She had wolf whistles and oo la llas as we were getting off the plane!!.
Please be wary of the shop on site he is a rip off merchant!!shop around and you can
get stuff either cheaper or in the case of a leather jacket the same price he reckons is
a good deal eg 220 Dinars (£110).Also there is a bloke selling excursions they look and
sound good but you are not insured against any accidents so only book with your rep whose
office is next to the shop.Well thats it have a nice holiday we did!!.

Hotel rooms very dated,no drawers for clothes ect very 60s,cleaners only worked well if tipped daily,any more than 3 or 4 tot a table and you had to tip the waiter to get one for 6 people. Only 1 bar open during 1st week withover 6oo guests! Pool bar opened 2nd week but only till 5pm.No snacks available except at meal times. Food very,very poor with raw Turkey, bones with bits of lamb on them and the sweet selection was the same daily,complained to thompson and eventually got more bar staff now three serving to 1400 customers. Do not look for a seat inthe hotel lobby on a noght as there were only 35 chairs and approx 50 other seats again for the 1400 customers> Thanksfully the sun came out the second week and we could go out but we will be very.very wary of trusting Thompsons again and certainly will never ever go to Tunisia again

Overall we had a good break. Weather was great, although some days were very windy. Pool water was freezing, so the kids opted to use the indoor pool most of the time. Without the indoor pool it would have been difficult having 2 water babies that love to swim all day every day.
Room was below par. TV does not cater for English and no DVD so kids were not able to use the room on the one day when the weather was bad.
Hotel facilities were good, but again when the weather is bad there is nothing to do inside.
Food was good. My wife was nervous having had a bad experience with all inclusive. However the standard of food was good and no one suffered from any form of upset stomach. Staff were all polite and most of them spoke enough English to be understood.
We did hear from one of the waiters that during the peak months the number of people in the hotel goes up from 500 (April) to 1500 of which the majority are German and French. Nothing against either of these nationalities, but they don't seem to mix well with the English when in large numbers.
So, in summary, we had a good break with good weather, but would not go back in the peak summer months.

Me and my boyfriend visited this hotel on the 01/09/2010 for one week and to be honest, I was dreading it after reading tons of reviews on various different websites (Thomson's included)
I was thinking, OK, if its bad, just enjoy the weather for one week and it will all be over quick enough.
As it all started, arriving at the airport, the drive to the hotel, my mind had not changed - I was still dreading it.
My perception started to perk up on the drive as it was a 'I hope this isn't my hotel' situation and then when we got to our hotel we hoped it was ours and it was!
Once inside, we were left pretty much to guess what to do and effectively abandoned by the Thomson rep on the coach! The took us to reception and then left! We sat around for a while before talking to another English couple who were very annoyed and advised us on what we should do so we had to do everything ourselves, such us check in, get our key etc. This I blame purely on Thomson however, if not wait with us until we were all checked in, at least tell us what to do and when, rather than just chuck us in the hotel and leave!
We were then given our room (which we loved) and had the rest of the week to ourselves.
We were told to expect grumpy people due to it still being ramadan but we couldn't have experienced anything further from this!! They were so friendly and most of them could not help you more.
We absolutely loved this holiday and did not want to leave after one week!
The only points I would say that were not the best was the food and the entertainment - don't get me wrong both of these were fantastic and great but I can imagine they would get a bit repetitive after one week because the entertainment is done weekly and the food is pretty much the same everyday.
Loved this holiday and I would not listen to the bad reviews because it nearly ruined the perspective of my holiday! I would go back tomorrow if it was possible and I would recommend this to a friend.
