We had arrived in the early hours of Monday morning as soon as we pulled up in the coach the bell boys were outside ready to help with our luggage.

As soon as we entered the hotel the manager came out to assist us with our room keys and to show us where the lift was and where our rooms were.

We all went straight up stairs to sleep. We had asked for joining rooms expecting to pay more but we didn't have to! The room was lovely and very spacious.

Meal times were 6.30 am to 10.00 am for breakfast and evening meal was 6.30 pm till 9.30 pm. The food was mainly Tunisian with a great variety and they also supplied European meals and catered for vegetarians.

The pool wasn't as big as I thought it would be but I still enjoyed sitting round the pool relaxing and sunbathing. Even the lifeguard acted as a waiter and if you wanted a drink or a snack would happily fetch them from the restaurant underneath for you.

The hotel is directly on the beach and is a lovely mass of powdery pale sand and lovely clear waters.

Many of the locals were a little over-bearing but you soon seem to ignore the fact and are able to have a friendly chat with them and they are always offering to help with any problems.

There weren't many English people in the hotel all the time but there is an Irish bar called "O'Connors" where all the staff are friendly and wish to attend to your every need.

In the hotel there are many bars situated all over and the roof-top bar which has a large terrace that over looks the sea and a relaxing inside to it and the waiter "Joseph" is a lovely man and is always smiling and very happy.

There wasn't too much entertainment but the entertainment which they provided free of charge was sufficient enough.

The holiday reps offer many excursions some are good others not so good. in 14 days I went on four.
these were:

1.camel caravan: very amusing and a really good day out.*****/*****

2. Bedouin evening: again this was a good night and full of laughs, wasn't as good as the caravan but still I really enjoyed it along with my family. ****/*****

3. el jem: this is where you visit the old Roman ruins of an ancient amphitheatre it wasn't as good as I thought it would be but ok. Star Wars and Gladiator was filmed there and it was ok overall. ***/*****

4. lastly was the reps cabaret: this was a good laugh but drinks were a little more expensive. ***/*****

Finally all the staff are really reliable and are lovely and I am definitely going back there next year to Dreams Beach!!!
