I've just had a look at Trip Advisor and see what you mean. All other review on there seem to be historical. Of course people impressions can be swayed by many things so I wouldn't be too worried about one bad review. I've never stayed in the Tej but visited many times to see a friend who always stays there, the last time being in May. The room she had was very pleasant and the staff seem friendly and efficient. The pool area is lovely. I can't speak for the cuisine but she has always been satisfied. As you doubtless know the hotel is not actually on the beach but it is only a short walk away and there are plenty of restaurants etc. in the vicinity. The shopping area attached to the hotel is inclined to be pricey. As you are already booked I'd be inclined to go with an open mind and I think you'll have a good holiday.

Aslemma,

I am going with an open mind. I have read most of the reviews and they seem to be mainly positive. However, I am also aware that standards can drop.

The road that you have to cross to get to the beach sounds pretty scary in most reviews, don't seem to be any zebra crossings or traffic lights from what I have read.

don't seem to be any zebra crossings or traffic lights from what I have read.

There are pedestrian crossings, clearly marked 'prioritie aux pietons' (sorry my French is a bit rusty) but these are mostly ignored by the locals. The secret is to look for a gap, or to catch the driver's eye and simply hold your hand up and walk out. I remember seeing an elderly black-clad granny hovering on the side of the road near the Soula Centre. I offered her my arm, raised my hand to the traffic and we crossed safely with not a word being exchanged between us. The Corniche (the road facing the sea) is one-way, which does make it a bit easier.

Thanks for letting me know Aslemma. I feel reassured.
