Our main complaint, as with everyone is the lack of room for sunbeds. This was not helped by the fact that people would reserve sunbeds at 8 in the morning (although signs are up not allowing this) and more often than not only actually use them for an hour or 2 and then disappear. Most of the time half of the sunbeds were only occupied by towels! It was a shame that the other pools could not be used because these were usually half empty.

As usual, the hotel was truely immaculate as were the rooms. ALL rooms are thoroughly cleaned everyday - all furniture is moved and cleaned behind! Since the refurbishment, the bathrooms and bedrooms are really modern, bright and cool with very quiet air conditioning. The rooms are huge - we had 4 beds in ours and we could have fitted 2 more in! Most rooms in this hotel are huge - it's only the 2 bedded ones that are 'normal' size. Walkways inside the hotel are now covered in carpet too so you don't get disturbed by clonking heals on the floor!
As usual, if you want anything for your room (we always need extra hangers!), the reception staff are very helpful (they ALL speak very good English) and they simply fill out a form and what you've requested is in your room within hours.
The food was as good as ever - always piping hot, loads of choice and lots of lovely dishes (e.g. avocado & prawn, fresh seafood, various roasts (carved off the bone), massive fresh salad selection.....). This is a 4* hotel so don't expect to enter the dining room in sarongs or anything else too revealing - staff wait at the door and will turn you away unless you are dressed appropriately. There is a huge outdoor section of the restaurant if you want to eat in your swim-wear (just salads and snacks though here).
The entertainment is good if you haven't seen it before but get there early as the saddos reserve seats early - probably the same ones who actually reserve concrete floor space around the pool using chairs/towels as they have to have 'their' particular spot! I was smart this year and packed a sun-bed in my suitcase but had the hotel not rented the beautiful Cala Gracio apartment pools out to a French Company (and given them sole use of them!), sunbed space would not be a problem at this hotel.
The main reason we booked to return to this hotel was because the additional pools were beautiful, perfect for young children and less noisy etc but to arrive and find that NO English can use them but the French can use these AND the main 3 pool that are 'supposed' to be for the Tanit only, was very disappointing - and the ONLY reason we won't be returning next year. It's a shame as everything else at this hotel is lovely - we can't fault it (and we're pretty fussy!).
Staff are always polite, friendly and helpful.
Luckily, the management at this hotel don't suffer fools gladly or put up with noisy, aggressive or badly behaved guests - they take any complaints seriously.
If you're worried about bugs, food poisoning, clean rooms, pool areas etc etc then go to this hotel as all these things are first class (in the 4 times we've been at this hotel, we've never known anybody have food poisoning etc). However, if you don't like crampt sunbathing conditions, I'd choose another hotel.
If you love your food, you'll love this hotel as again, this is wonderful and certainly better than most of the local restaurant standards.

What a good time we had hotel very nice and clean. Weather was hot. Food excellent only fault we had was the pool not been able to get a sunbed. There was not enough room for the amount of people the hotel holds. You had to be up at 8am to put a towel on a bed and queue for it. So what we did we went to the lovely beach 2 minutes walk away till late afternoon then went to the pool and you could get a bed then.
Only stayed to watch entertainment a couple of nights what we saw was ok. We used to get a taxi into San Antonio only 6 euros. We also had a night round at the bay which has loads of bars with kids stuff in.
We might return in the near future but like to try different places, but we would highly recommend it.

There seems to be too many sun beds and not enough space.So set your alarm clocks and have your towels ready to be up and waiting by the pool at 8am, when in fact the beds aren`t unlocked till 9am.When we booked this hotel it stated we could use the pools next door.
When in fact you can`t. Ladies BE VERY CAREFUL the last week of our visit a couple of ladies had their handbags snatched off their shoulders as they walked home from san antonio.
The food was fine but very repetittive.Would not go back to the tanit.We love the island just not this area.
Go on the trips we thoroughly enjoyed the aqua day out and the castaway.. brilliant and would do these again.

The food is superb I cant fault any of it there is a large range of cooked meals both dinner & evening and you can then also have freshly cooked food ie steaks, chops, fresh fish and their pizza is fantastic! Cooked fresh in the hotel, fresh pancakes for breakfast the food is totally faultless, there are snacks available in between meals but this never changed and was always hamburgers, kebabs, chips and salad.
Drinks were OK, not too impressed with the local liquors they didn't taste the same as the real stuff. Entertainment went on all day with the usual bowling, water polo, darts and on there was a show in every night mainly performed by the Animacion team.
