Hi
yes it was busy but it is big enough to cope we usually managed to find a sunbed, and at mealtimes we never had to wait for a seat. The beach is huge so never appeared to be crowded. Yes all facilities were open we took our children who are 4,8,11.13 and there was always something for them to do.

Hi Shanik,
Suncream suncream suncream! and a sun hat. lol
Really not sure if they have vodka it's about the only drink I don't like! might be worth taking your own.
As said in other posts it is definately worth tipping all staff a very little means alot to the tunisians and it's worth it for the service.
What date are you going?

hi. we went in Nov.
The 1 st night I deccided to have whiskey and hubby a vodka..boy were they strong.. must be at least 3 time the uk amount...they knocked us out ..good...
they had beer which we seem to enjoy wine's which was great instead of a glass it was a bottle each..hahah.
we tipped all the time in the hotel. The waiters are very good & we found them ever so good and polite with us. It was Nov so maybe in the hi season it might not be as good sevice. We hope to return again nov 06. anymore in info you need I will be pleased to help..

Hi
We are going on the 22nd we are taking our 12 year old boy and his friend, my 9 year old lad, 5 year old daughter and my step daughter who is 14. During the day time there are various sports going on for the children - volleyball, water polo, darts, football, bowls, and last year all the children made friends so they had a great time. In the evenings there is music and usually a show (quite basic but good fun lol)
Food can be a little repetitive but we are lucky because the children will all try different foods. Food was always very nice though and always hot. There are snacks and icecreams served at the poolside all day and late into the night. There is a snack bar on the beach and a restaraunt and bar that leads on to the beach. Yes as mentioned by others the rooms are fairly basic and quite small but this really didn't bother us as we were only in them to go to bed and get dressed in the morning!
We also went on several trips - pirate ship this was great fun and enjoyed by adults and children and we shall definately go again this year. Zulu night - another fantastic time had by all. Water park small compared to other countries the children had had enough after a couple of hours.
Zoo - we didn't really enjoy this but I think that this was partly due to being so hot and we just hadn't the energy to walk around.

I certainly can't wait to go again this year if you think of anything else let me know.

Hi Sair,
It sounds brill, our only drawback is, they changed our airport from Liverpool to Manchester and now we will be flying at 7.10 pm instead of 7 00am so we shall be arriving late i hope it's not too late but never mind.
Have you done the trip were you go on the camels and see the sunset, i have only heard of it never been.
Really looking forward to going there, must remember sun cream and hat lol.
Are the water sports free or do they have a charge ? our lad loves the water.
Thanks Sair for all the updates.
cheers

Hi Shanik your welcome.
No we didn't do the camel rides. water sports are charged for but not a huge amount if I remember rightly.
