We got shipped here at the weekend when our flight was delayed back to the UK. The hotel looks very posh and the main lobby is superb and clean and airy, check in was as smooth as it could be considering 250 unexpected guests had just arrived at the same time. Now the bad bits! The room was not clean, the tap water in the sinks baths and showers were rust coloured, there was no drinking water supplied for cleaning teeth or taking medication, you had to haggle with staff for a bottle of water, None of the TVs worked - we were a party of 5 adults and all our rooms were the same! All have came home with bites of some sort after our night in this hotel. Food was poor considering what we had just left behind in our hotel in Hammamet, Ice cream was melting in its tubs, fruit was not ready to eat - Breakfast was dry bread and not nice coffee, or fake fresh orange juice We would hope never to use this hotel again.

Hotel is new and very bombastic.Lobby is impressive, beds and bedlinnen are good. Beach and pools are beautifull with a high standard. Even the deckchairs are equiped with real matrasses and a good towel service.
I can really rcommend this hotel!
I had a room with streetview, I think is is much nice to enjoy the Seaview! (but also more €)
To be critical: It is of course a huge tourist mass production facility with hundreads of rooms and massive breakfast room. Not very charming but this is a personal choice, for me on business in low season it was ok. For my holidays I would prefer a smaller high quality hotel without uncivilized russians. My bathroom was not completely clean (used razor behind the sink and some hairs) but it is difficult to clean well because the sink is bowl on top with a difficult to clean area arround. I do not have a problem with this small unperfection.
Again I think this is the best hotel in the region and I did not see anything which was not up to standard, I would say enjoy your stay!

Dears, there are so many nice places in Tunesia, please avoid going to Amir. Only thing in Amir that is five star is the entering hall. And thats it. The food was really terrible. It had no taste, and it looked really bad.In the restaurant service was lazy to open the whole so they put rooms together to one table, but this caused you had to wait for table.As if it was double, and there was noother place there. After having changed 2tables in two days and complaining, the lower level manager of restaurant started to scream with me/I am woman, and he is Arab man :(/Mostly we were almost hungry. When charging room with late check out, you get a call at 12. and at 13,30 saying:Finish pls. But finish what? Counting minutes that I suffered in the place?
Well, when arriving to hotel, even if we had paid sea view, it took 2hours of confirmation - but the hotel of course was 1/2 empty! Getting to our room, we had no soap, not all the towels were there and there was not even a water in fridge. See pics, best is the five star toilette with broken tiles on the floor :)

My wife and I visited this quite big 5-star hotel with above average for Tunisia prices and more than 350 rooms and suites in the first half of October 2010. It is situated along a very beautiful sandy beach and very close to the International Airport of Monastir (about 3 km - so you can actually see from time to time a plane landing or departing) and about 7 km from both downtowns of Sousse and Monastir. All the rooms are air-conditioned and with balconies with either garden, pool or seaview. All the room/suites are equipped with cable TV, telephone, safe box, mini bar, there is a hairdryer in each bathroom. The hotel has several restaurants (the biggest one with around 700 seats and delicious food where all the guests eat), several bars and cafes (including a pool bar) as well as a night club. What I see as the biggest advantage of this hotel is its superb beach (great white sand and clean blue water) as well as the very nice outdoor swimming pool (there is also indoor one) - for both of them you get free towels, umbrella and chaise-longue plus the good food and the above average service. What I didn't like so much is that you can't just get out of the hotel (there is nothing interesting in a walking distance), its size and the reflecting interior style in general, room furniture and even bathroom (with a lot of satin, marble, etc.) are too demanding and I would prefer they to be more modern and cozy. Some people complained that in other part of the hotel there was a bad smell of canalization, but we haven't faced such a problem. In general I will recommend this nice hotel as a good place to stay in Skanes-Monastir!
