We have recently stayed for a week at the Shalimar on an all inclusive which was bit of a joke. When we turned up at the hotel we were told that there were only 10 guests and we were the only English speaking of course this put a dampner on it straight away. We arrived at the hotelat about 8.30... More

Overall hotel not bad but could be better. Described as 4 stars but in the real life i would give 3. We changed 4 rooms and in every room there was something that was not working (TV, shower, light and ext). Condition of the rooms is bad, hotel needs some major repair. The food was good, fresh and good quality.... More

My husband and I are not fussy eaters and never complain about holidays. However we have had to complain about this one. We were the only english in the hotel with the bulk being Polish. The food was geared up for this clientelle and was the same every night. They cater for quantity and not quality. The wine in the... More

On arrival to the last day we were made very welcome the staff made an effort to speak to us in English even though it was a French Hotel, On the first night the Manager Sami ben Mansour came up to us and he knew instantly what room we were in and we were here for the golf by the... More

I have just arrived back after spending a week in the Shalimar from 30th December 2007 to 6 January 2008 with my girlfriend and her family through Sol Africa.

We went as a family with two teenage sons, absolutely nothing for them to do, all the entertainment was in French (they did German at School). After the entertainment team realised we did not speak French, they actively avoided us. Watching a French opera about birth of Jesus, ballroom dancing and weakest link in French were not our idea of... More

Shocking. Wine in beer glasses, beer in wine glasses, chipped always. Food ok, could always find something but slightly repetative. Hotel is for French guests, not british. Everything in french, kareokee in frech, food labels in french.... Will never visit Tunisia again which is a shame as i hear they're are nice hotels here. Travelled the globe and never been... More

To be honest we were dissapointed, the best way i can describe it was like being on a french butlins holiday, and yes they did wear redcoats! the staff were lovely despite the language problems and my kids did try out the kids club and again the staff tried hard but thompsons would do well to put some of their...

This hotel looks lovely on the photos but don't be fooled like i was! As you may have noticed that most of the photos are of the pool, this is because the pool was the best thing about this hotel! the room's are filthy in the space of 3 hours after we had arrived we where now moving into are... More
