The Orangers Beach Resort and Bungalows All Inclusive

Firstly, I've visited this hotel twice this year. And as always, the second time did not live up to the first. I was particularly sad to see that they changed most of their entertainment team from the last time I came in the summer. In particular, Dali. Aqua Gym is not the same without him. Whoever made the decision to get rid of him was not very intelligent. I was also sad to know that James and Momo were gone as well. I hope wherever they end up truly values them. Of the entertainment team that is left, Lalou, Suzie, and Jackie deserve a special mention for their enthusiasm and friendly vibes. Thank you, Boss-Man, for always bringing me an endless supply of random cocktails. Also, the food definitely requires some improvement. There really isn't much choice for dinner.

Very nice hotel. Very clean. On the beach. 24h bar, bar staff friendly and can’t do enough for you. Entertainment was second to none. Very friendly and professional staff especially lalou or AKA Robin Hood. Very good instructor. Lots of patience and always happy.

We arrived at the Hotel to find we had not got a room they were fouble booked , they took us to another Hotel, got told to come back next day. Came back to the hotel receltion and management were very rude.Pool was lovely and staff. The food was awful cold same stuff every day. Was to much trouble gor staff to replenish it. The table always dirty staff didnt really want to be bothered to change them. My husband had diaoreah for 6 days actually loads if people that i spoke had it too. The resturant staff were very rude. The waiters rpund the pool were lovely. Our room was ok needs updating. They did our bed with swans flowers thinking it was for us, but found out it was for a couple who should of had that room for there 50th wedding Annivesary. Dont go to the shop out of the gate on the left they con you.No way is the Hotel 4 star.

Excellent! entertainment staff! Harry was outstanding - lots of entertainment & activities available to help make it a memorable holiday - Everyone is very friendly and helpful with everything - fantastic facilities - sure I’ll be back !

This is a lovely beachside hotel, we upgraded to sea view room this year as it was our second visit, which was really worth it. Big clean room with big comfy bed and pillows. Mini fridge, hairdryer, towelling dressing gowns. The Bar staff will give you big bottles of coke,wine water to take back to your room if you ask. I drank the Tunisian Rose wine as the spirits didn’t taste the same . Beach area has plenty of shaded areas with cushioned sun beds.Although you still get the people putting their towels down first thing and not coming down until lunchtime. This year the food was definitely NOT of the same standard as last, and sadly both myself and my husband suffered with diarrhoea. Communication is another fault this year, we were told to go for lunch as are room wasn’t ready, and it’s only because we had been before we knew were to go, and were able to give other guests directions. A day or so in asking a question about Carthageland at reception, I was given a list of meal times etc. Beach towels are provided but they don’t tell you this either. Sadly we will never go back. Orangers you MUST improve your food and communication for guests.

We visited for 10 days in September, when a moderate amount of rain is predicted. We were lucky on that account, treated to sun and blue skies, in just about the perfect air temperature. We had a sea-view room with a splendidly large balcony. It was not particularly spacious, but the beds were very comfortable. The beach was truly splendid, a kilometer of perfect sand. High priority for us is good shade to protect us from the sun. This is provided by an unusual wooden construction, covering a large area. The very heavy loungers, with a solid mattress covering are not particularly comfortable. The sea is calm, fine for swimming, with occasion light breakers, and commendably clear water. Also important for us is the food. Breakfast was a mixture of good and bad. Freshly squeezed orange juice was available from self-service jugs, which is unusual and very welcome. The baguettes were very fresh. There was an egg bay, where a hard-worked chef produced fried eggs and a variety of omelettes for the large number of diners. This meant you had to queue for a few minutes. The coffee was self-service from push-button machines. I was alarmed to see ‘Nescafe’ written on the machines. Should a 4/5 star hotel not provide fresh coffee? Mysteriously, the coffee from the machine was not a problem, quite tasty. So far, it has all been good news, but... there is a crowded throng of people milling from one servery to another and back to their tables. If you come around 8.30, all the tables have been used once and there are very few staff (pleasant and admirable as they are) to re-lay the tables. I often had to fetch cutlery from a drawer and napkins from an adjacent table. Lunch is served at the beach restaurant and here the news is better. They have passable buffet line, and a better servery outside on the verandah, where whole grilled fish such as bream and sea bass are served. Also, excellent wok stir-fries with a choice of sauces. Everyone is on all-inclusive and the wine is served in half bottles. It is Tunisian wine, and perfectly acceptable. The buffet dinners are disappointing. Again the restaurant is overfull, with milling crowds. For the last half or our holiday, we ventured out in the evenings (taxis are unbelievably cheap) to the truly wonderful seafood restaurants of Hammamet. Lobsters of unbelievable sizes are available to those with an ambitious appetite and a well-filled wallet. The large prawns are unbelievably tasty. So, what about the hotel entertainment? This was modest, in an outdoor arena. I enjoyed the Fakir show, and others enjoyed the bingo. One thing annoyed me greatly. The shows start at 9.30 and many take their seats at 8.30 to enjoy a drink or two in the open air. Unbelievably, every night, there is a whole hour of raucous children’s music blaring out, with a member of staff teaching a (‘wave your-right-hand, turn-around’) dance to two or three five-year-olds on the stage. This would be great (for the kids) at 5pm or 6pm. With a couple of
