Utente ospite

1) The hotel is tired - damaged furniture & paintwork needs renewing. 2) The large terrace & outdoor pools & areas round them are scruffy with leaves & berries from the surrounding trees. Sticky patches from spilt drinks are never cleaned up & have ants crawling in them. 3) It helps if you speak French. The staff speak a little English but they are bilingual in Tunisian & French. Many of the guests are French. 4) Most of the staff are friendly and obliging. Housekeeping ladies are charming, but their cleaning isn't very thorough. 5) No milk or spoons are provided on the hospitality trays in rooms. Ask a waiter for milk - he may let you have a carton for your room-fridge. Small plastic spoons are available by the coffee machines, but housekeeping will throw them away if you leave them out in your room. 6) Entertainment - most daytime activities early evening singers or instrumentalists are all accompanied by VERY loud amplified music. Later evening entertainment often consists of bingo, karioke or rather amateurish shows by the hotel entertainments team. 7) Animals - there are stray cats in the beach restaurant. A cat sank its claws into the hand of a guest who tried to feed it. Guests are allowed to bring their own dogs & to leave them yapping in their rooms while they go for dinner. 8) Smoking - seems to be allowed anywhere outdoors in the hotel. Many guests are smokers or vapers. 9) You can't drink the tap-water, but plenty of plastic bottles of water are available. 10) The hotel isn't very "green" - as well as all the plastic bottles and spoons, plastic straws & tiny containers for starters and desserts are used. Plastic cups and glasses are widely available & seem to be preferred to conventional ones by some guests, even in the restaurant. 11) Although there's a wide variety of foods - salads, vegetables, main meals, desserts and snacks, they are the same ones every day. Meat is mostly cheap cuts, full of bones, gristle and fat. For at least half my stay there weren't enough salt & pepper pots for all the tables, & there was no butter for my last 2 days. 12) Money - you can't get Tunisian money in the UK but you can change £ for dinars at the hotel. You MUST keep the receipt you're given in case you want to change any left-over Dinars back into £ at the end of your stay BUT you can't do this at the hotel, only at the airport. If (like me!) you forget to take your receipt & you admit to the Tunisian Customs Officer that you still have Dinars, they will be confiscated & you'll be given a form so yo can reclaim them next time you return to Tunisia.
