HI All
Newbie here,been reading lots on this site and thought it was about time I joined in with a few questions.
I am going to this hotel on 25th June 2008 with my wife ,16yr old son and 14yr old daughter,we are going All Inclusive ,(First time),for one week and were wondering a few things.
Firstly ,the hotel has had many mixed reviews and we had wondered if we had chosen right,but then decided we will make up our own minds when we are there.What are the rooms like ?Is there a wide choice of food and drink? Which is the best to go shopping,Sousse or Monistir?Which is the place to do a camel ride at?Is there any boats trips to see and swim with dolphins available?
I will probably have more questions later,thought this would do for now,we are all looking forward to this holiday as its our first one as a thin family(now thats another story),and most of it was paid for from a magazine article we did last year..!!!!!
we went to Tunisia in February this year and stayed in Skanes sorry dont know about the hotel you staying in but we went shopping in Monastir and Souse I think I prefared Monastir. We used to get the local bus, worked out about 27 pence or the shared taxi's about 40 pence or we only payed about £2 for a taxi but that was haggling with them, We have been to Tunisia before and this year was the best ever.
Hope you enjoy it as much as we did
Also wondered if anyone else is going out on the same day as us?
Hi ,wife and I are going from glasgow on this date,been messed around re flights by t cook so hope the hotel is as suitable for my electric wheelchair as they say it is, have a good flight and stay ,say hello if you see my old blue tatty gambian wheelchair, maxie and wife
We are really looking forward to this trip and seeing a different culture when and if we can be bothered to leave the hotel....!!!!
HI Does anyone have any info on this hotel thanks maxie
Im hopefully going to the hotel on 18th June 08.
It'll be my second time at the hotel.
The rooms are standard, but are nice.
The food is nice, but can get repetative.
They have different varities of food, Brik is one to try, very nice, but very fatty.
The main bar opens at 10:30pm and closes at 12 midnight. They have a two glasses per person rule, but give free bottles of water throughout the day.
I must say, the trips are very good. And very easy to book. The people to book them with are in the hotel reception almost everyday. They do quad biking, camel riding, horse riding on the beach, pirate ship ride, festivals at night, the list goes on.
If you have any more questions I don't mind answering.
And I might see you there.

How much are the camel rides and what do they entail ? Parasailing sounds fun and we want to do the Pirate ship trip,have you done this yourself?
We have only 80 days till we arrive and are really looking forward to it?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I can't remember exactly how much each trip is. But they are around 30 to 60 pound each.
The camel Rides they take to about 5/10 minutes away from the hotel, when you get there you can even go on horse or cart if your not keen on the camels, they take you round for about half an hour/ an hour. Then you stop off at this little place, they show you a typical tunisia home and how they make bread. you even get to feed a camel using your mouth, then they take you back.
The Pirate ship is quite good. They take you out for about 2 hours, they do bellydancing and give you a meal, I done this but I got sea sick like a couple of people. after the boat trip you get to do some shopping in port el kantaoui.
They have parasailing, jet-skies and banana boat rides, they are about £10/20 for half an hour. just go down to the beach. Its on the right.
I was suppose to be going in less than 2 weeks, buts now its 72 days, still I can't wait!
Anything else you need to ask I'd be happy to answer.

We are mainly going to enjoy the sunshine and try and get a tan but we do want to do a camel ride, whether just along the beach or on the little trip you have discribed,might try the parasailing but that depends on how I feel ,I am having an operation in two weeks so I still might not be up for that.
Of course we want to go shopping in either Sousse or Monistir for a bit of bargain hunting ,which is best?
But I think we will mainly be on the beach for snorkelling and swimming and I think the kids will be at the water slides most of the time(and us!!!!).
We are just looking forward to going abroad and to the sun...
I remember getting food from there quite late.
I haven't been to Sousse before, i'll be honest, but Monastir is really good. I stayed in the center of Monastir last time I went and it's a really nice town. Plenty of shops to visit.
The water slides are good, but if you get bored then theres plenty of activities with the animaters. about 11 and 3 they do archery, mini golf, darts, table tennis and some more I can't remember.
There is a trip they do on Fridays to a market where you can do plenty of bargaining but I must admit we didn't enjoy it. It took us nearly 2 hrs to get there, we spent an hour shopping then 2 hrs back. The others trips were really good and well worth the money.
I would advise going on a tour of the hotel if they offer one. The hotel is big and if we didn't go we wouldn't have found half the things that were there.
Hope i helped. Anymore questions I'd be glad to answer.
