Just returned from the Tanit having read reviews I was expecting a lot.

The food is not excellent - yes its OK but its typical spanish hotel fare -basic and repetitive in just one week but on all inclusive basis its plentiful.

The hotel is clean - the only thing making a mess are the kids spilling drinks in the lifts and messing the toilets - but the staff do work hard.If the Tanit was not all inclusive I guess it would be less than half empty - as it is its full to bursting in June with people enjoying the constant drink and food.

The location is awful - there is nothing around the Tanit , if you want a decent supermarket you walk at least 20 mins.There are two tiny bars and a very small mini mart outside.

There is a small cove nearby but it is not cleaned like a main beach and is full of fag ends. If you want a sun lounger be prepared to rise early as we - the English have now taken over from the Germans for the "Towel laying " title !!

The hotel has got sports facilities but the evening entertainment is poor - not up to working mens club standard although the staff do try its really for the kids. Good luck.

Well where do I start I have stayed in a previous Fiesta Hotel namely the Don Toni and the Tanit is of the same very high standard.

We emailed the hotel before we left the UK requesting a high floor and a sea view and this is exactly what we had we were on the 7th floor with a lovely view of the sea.

What greeted us on arrival at the hotel were a lobby full of teenagers play fighting and making a load of noise bearing in mind we arrived at the hotel at midnight no parents to be seen just a bunch of unruly kids which made you feel intimidated to walk through which you had to to get to the lift.

The food although a bit repetitive was plentiful and the staff in the restaurant worked very hard through, there was something for everyone, breakfasts consisted of eggs, (fried, boiled or scrambled) bacon, sausage, beans, tomatoes, hash browns, toast, cheeses, meats, cereals, toast, cake,croissants, biscuits, jam marmalade,yogurt, fruit, tea , chocolate, coffee, orange juice you name it , and it was probably there, lunch consisted of soup, rolls, salads, chips, jacket potatoes,mash, boiled potatoes, roast potatoes, vegetables, various meat dishes, fish, burgers, pasta, cheeses, jelly, ice cream, custard, gateaus there was certainly something there for everyone. Dinner was very similar put there was also a carvery or special dish, roast beef, paella, gammon, pork, etc besides all of this there was a snack bar running in between, with burgers, hot dogs, kebabs etc and from 1st thing in the morning there were 2 fridges full of sandwiches, various types, and 2 tea & coffee vending machines also a freezer full of different ice creams (my son had plenty of them).

The staff there work really hard and well the things they had to put up with whilst we were there rudeness, children not knowing how to behave properly, this is what spoilt our holiday for us, as there were basically running around the grounds when it go dark in gangs. My son aged 9 did comment about 2 people on the pool table under the canopy laying on top of each other kissing (tongue in cheek)(this was at 10 o'clock in the evening). There were too many incidents to mention foul language, under aged drinking because although the hotel wouldn't supply them with alcohol as they had seen their passports and they were wearing kiddie bands they could buy it in the small bar opposite or in the local shop and get drunk that way, even during the day on the beach, in front of toddlers and little children.

The cleaning staff seemed to be working constantly and all hotel staff are very proud of the hotel, the location is a bit far out so we hired a car for 4 days to get about.

The entertainment staff during the day worked hard to try and get people involved, but well the evening entertainment was a joke very amateurish, and unless you wanted to sit there and reserve a table from 6.30ish onwards then you wouldn't get a seat and the entertainment didn't start until 10pm, which we did go to one evening and it wasn't worth the wait, especially to lose so many hours waiting.

Not sure if its true but it did seem to be the hotel has lost it outside licence this was due to complaints about the noise levels from neighbours which is why the dining terrace outside is not open also the entertainment stage outside isn't used which is a shame.

There are 2 pools the better one being within the grounds by the Cala Gracio Hotel/ Tennis Courts, but be prepared to get up early we British knocked the spots off the Germans. I watched people with arms full of towels more than they could comfortably carry struggling down to reserve sun beds at 8am 10+ at a time so anyone that got up at a normal time after breakfast had no chance, the Thomson Rep (Ian was great very helpful)said that their hands were tied as there are other tour operators within the hotel therefore they can't remove towels from the beds as there has been several complaints about this.

There are sat televisions within the rooms but well only 3 channels in English world news, eurosport and the travel channel (which we watched mostly when we were getting ready to go out)rooms spacious, also for the ladies hairdryer already there and a good one no need to take this with you.

The hotel/holiday was spoilt by unruly rude British children who didn't know how to behave.

Just returned from a 2 week stay at the Tanit and for the first time ever I couldn't wait to get back home, a week would have been long enough at this hotel.

The hotel itself is spotless and if you arrive when the reception area is empty then you are sure to be impressed, this soon changes.

The food plenty of choice although confusing at times, I would advise a walk around both sides to see what is on offer before joining the queue. If you struggle to find a table wait next to a used one and the staff clear them straight away.

The main pool is always busy and we gave up trying to stay there. There doesn't seem to be any one spot that gets the sun all day and we did notice some people (probably in the minority) putting towels out on both sides of the pool, using one side on the morning and then moving to the other on the afternoon. We went to the beach instead which was much safer for our 3 year old and even going down at 11am you could always get a decent spot. Beds and parasols 4 Euros each for the day although I think this might increase in busier times.

The location of the hotel is terrible, the supermarket over the road is only small and shuts at 8:30. San An is a good 20-30mins walk away and if you like an evening stroll there is no where to walk to.

The play area wasn't really suitable for our 3 year old.

The hotel room itself was excellent, the nicest one we have stayed in, plenty of room, cleaned daily, nice size balcony.

The reps and the entertainment are all very friendly, although we didn't bother with the entertainment we either stayed in the bar area or sat on the sofa's.

Hired a car for 3 days and toured the island and every resort we went to was better than where we were.

This hotel was very busy and very noisy.

When we arrived at the Tanit the hotel seemed very clean and the staff were very friendly.

They were quick to get us settled in. The food was fab and was very varied which was excellent. The location was quite good and the beach was gorgeous. In San Antonio if you want to find the good shops head for the dock and around that area you will find all the shops and markets. This is only a twenty minute walk away.

In the hotel the staff were great and shows were on every night even though some shows were a bit boring you still had a good time. The rooms are very spacious and are tastefully decorated and are cleaned daily.

Though some noise was heard in the night from other holiday makers. Overall I would go back to the Tanit because it is a relaxing, friendly break in the sun.

P.S. I would advise you to check with your agent what type of room you have purchased before you leave for your break. xx

Great Fiesta hotel with a great little beach with lifeguard. Great snorkeling with fine sea life. Care should be taken for jelly fish as these are very painful a quiet location.

Of you want night life it

This was our second visit to the Tanit having visited the same time last year. The reception and public areas had been refurbed since last year and that followed a total refurb of the rooms last year.(this winter the restaurant areas are next for a makeover)

The hotel is spotless overall and the cleaning staff work like Trojans. The rooms are as good as anything you will find in this class of hotel.

The food as been covered in detail in other reviews and is excellent (got to day 10 before we got a bit bored with all the eating).

The facilities are great and daytime activities are there if you want them with Pico and DJ working well with the guests.

If you want a prime position by the main pool you do need to be by the pool before 10am but there are two pools and it is not as bad as other reviews state (Early June, you do get people who take the towel laying to the extreme but show me a hotel in Spain where this doesn't happen!)

The hotel is positioned in a quiet area but is a 20 min walk from the west end of San Ant (I think with this you get an option of a quiet area but a busier time if you want it.)

Now for the minus points, we didn't enjoy the evening entertainment as much as last year mainly due to the fact that it has all been moved inside and space is limited, this leads to people getting in early and kids getting bored and then parents letting them run riot (mine are at an age where they do as their told but not everyone had the same respect for others!However it is a family hotel so kids come with the package)

Overall a fantastic place to come however after two years running I think we will have a change next year.

Visited hotel Tanit May 2006 it was excellent.

Entertainment staff brill specially Nicki DJ Pico couldn't do enough for you DJ very funny guy.

Food ok had better but entertainment made up for it.

Hotel has been fully refurbed air con great.

All staff really friendly Thomson reps Ian and Bret really helpful and friendly. All that's left to see is see you next year guys. Nicky Lilli's missing ya ta bits

We stayed at the hotel tanit 2 weeks ago. When we arrived we went to reception and got our room keys/cards and went to our rooms to unpack. The rooms were excellent! They were modern and clean and we had a perfect view even though we were only on the first floor.

The food was excellent! I loved it! There was something for everyone and at 4:30 pm they brought out biscuits and cakes! The waiters/waitresses were hard working and they never semmed to stop working! the food was excellent(I wouldn't want to go into detail because there is so much choice!)

The location of the hotel was very good, but they didn't have any shops or cafes around. The nearest shops are a 20 minute walk away in San Antonio and there is a cafe/aquarium nearby(follow the sighns you should see them) the hotel has its own private beach just around the corner, check it out!

The hotel staff were friendly and funny and do lots of activities during the day (apart from children activities the hardly have any) all the staff are friendly appart from certain receptionists.

The entertainment was excellent they have something different almost everynight appart from the 2 musicals but they are really funny too!

Sorry it is really long!
I'm only a kid :-) but its my opinon!

Just returned from the Tanit. The rooms were absolutely lovely. Clean, air conditioned double glazed. We were on the first floor overlooking the pool so when the door was open it could be noisy but as soon as you closed the door you couldn't hear a thing.

Food was not bad. Lots of choice.

Pool was lovely and clean. Smaller pool for little children. Small private beach just down a few steps which was really nice.

Hotel seemed a bit far from everything but San Antonio is only 15 minutes walk away.

We made loads of friends which is easy if you join in games during the day etc.

Overall I felt the hotel was a really safe environment to let your children off the leash a bit to wander and make friends. They had a small playpark right near the entertainment part so you could keep your eye on them.

'Some' of the bar staff could have been a little friendlier at times but the best part for me was the Fiesta entertainment team. They were on the go from morning till 12pm at night. They never let you sit around bored between activities. The time between the childrens disco, bingo and the nighttime show they played a game involving the audience.

They did a couple of professional shows and they did a lot of the shows themselves. Lion King, Moulin Rouge, Mama Mia etc and I found that the shows they put on were the superior ones!

They must get tired but they were always so enthusiastic as though it was their first day. You win cheap bottles of champagne and a certificate if you won any games during the day and have to get on stage to collect them that evening.

We made some lovely friends and are all booking to go back again next year. So Pico, BT, Airi, Kris and the rest of the Fiesta entertainment team thank you and I hope you'll all be there next year and look forward to another fantastic holiday.

Anyone looking for a relaxing, fun filled holiday you will not be disappointed.

This hotel was nothing short of fantastic. The hotel staff were polite and helpful (the hotel also arranges excursions etc, which are cheaper than the travel companies).

The hotel was spotless and everyone seemed to abide by the no noise after midnight rule. There was no need to get up at 5am to get a sun bed, a stroll to one of the six pools at anytime would guarantee you a bed as there were enough sunbeds for at least two per person.

The restaurant staff were superb and the food was lovely and plentiful. The hotel entertainment staff seemed to work very hard all day every day to ensure everyone had a good time, the majority of the evening entertainment was especially impressive(the Mama Mia rendition was unmissable).

Rooms are clean and of a good size with air conditioning, views over the bay are lovely .

Would not hesitate to re-visit this hotel, the Fiesta group obviously have a very good reputation which they are very keen on upholding.
