Hi has any one got any new pictures of the Houda Golf and can anyone tell us what the family rooms are like . We have booked one with sea view and balcony hopefully in the new part of the hotel. I have read mixed reviews whether these rooms actually exist.
We are jetting off on the 13th August our 3rd time in Tunisia. :P

I went to the Houda last October with my husband, 2 daughters and sister and brother in law. The room we had was a suite which had 3 bed rooms. My sister and her husbands room had a balcony and bathroom. My daughters room had a balcony, which was shared by our room and they also shared our bathroom. The rooms had a sea view.

Hi can anyone tell me if men have to wear long trousers at meal times?

my husband used to wear 3/4 length trousers in the evening, but during the day he wore shorts in the restaurant. I'm not sure about the dress code in the themed restaurants as we didn't go in them.

We are going to the Houda in Aug,have seen from reviews etc that they allocate you a table and a time for dinner,could anyone tell me anymore about this system as we have a disabled son who needs food when he takes his medication.We are concerned that we may not get the right time allocated to us to ensure that he can have his meal at the time he has to take his medication.Does anyone know how flexible they are,can we ask for a certain time.Many thanks to anyone who can give us any info.

i have found on the two times i have been to the hotel that i have been able to choose what sittings i wanted, i can't remenber exact times but for evening meal i think it was 5 to 7 then 7 to 9 but not certain, lunch is also like this. breakfast however you just have when you want betweeen 7 to 10 am i think. there are also snacks available, throughout the day. the people at the hotel are very helpful so just ask them and am sure they will work something out for you
