We went to this el mouradi group hotel after being double booked at our original hotel.We had an awful holiday and all of us(a family of 5) couldn't wait to get on that plane and go home. The food was awful-undercooked meat.Our daughter ended up being really ill.Most of the staff were very rude and physical - especially waiters who just pushed us out of the way, resulting in our teenage daughter getting burned.We soon realised that it was because we were british that we were constantly ignored and pushed around. It wasn't just us but other brits - of which there were very few.The rooms were cleaned well for the first few days and then this stopped and we found that we had to ask and search for toilet rolls and towels and had to make beds again as they weren't made properly. A dead cockroach remained on our floor for a week before it was cleaned away ! The atmosphere was awful, the activity pool was full to bursting, you couldn't get a sunbed as the so familiar towels were in place-the towels were even put out to reserve seats at the evening entertainment! This entertainment was great for children but for adults it wasn't that good.Some of the staff were good but they were in a minority.On a good note the weather was fantastic. This is 3rd time we have been to Tunisia(the other 2 visits were brilliant and at different hotels) and it will be our last. Never again! we don't pay over £4,000 to be so blantantly mistreated.

We stayed in skanes beach for a week and can come back with very little positives, The food was shocking some of the strangest combinations of items i've ever seen.
cold pizza and uncooked chips.

The staff were always friendly and helpful as much as they could be with the language barrier.

at the time we were there the hotel was full of germans and spanish teenagers lots of them!!.

the animacion team did some activities in the day including archery boules and darts, the evening entertainment left a lot to be desired there was one show a night usually explained in three different languages or more.. these were usually finished by 11 and left with very little else to do in the evenings there was no English tv in the hotel at all even in the rooms.

the outdoor areas of the hotel needed lots of work doing and could have been and probably was 10 years ago a very nice hotel. i dont think the hotel warrents its 4 star rating anymore its definatly no more than a low 3 star.

I wouldnt go to tunisia again and i would definatly not take any children there due to the fact they would be a complete nightmare from the lack of anything to do.

there was one bar about 300yds down the road from the hotel called the safari club/bar which is set in a little complex which has a small cafe/ restaraunt and a shop this pub plays all the english football/ sports but beer prices are dearer there about 5 DT a pint (£2) but else where expect to pay from 2DT to 4DT a bottle of beer slightly more for draft beers

PS. if you do go be wary of the Taxi drivers and porters at the airport just out to take your money ended up paying £10 for a journey that should have cost no more than £3 .

Returned from this holiday on 9th April 2006 and can't wait to go again. If you want a crazy wild holiday then its not for you but if its relaxation your after then this is the place to go. Food was ok if you like something different, staff were incredibly nice and welcoming. Weather was amazing and the beach is fantastic. I would definatly go back again. We went to 4 different hotels and this one was the nicest by far.

We have just returned from an unfortunately rainy week at the above mentioned hotel,it was allocation on arrival with Panorama. Can't complain about the room as it was very spacious and clean with maid service every day, however the in-room entertainment for English speaking guests is restricted to a rather snowy BBC WORLD news channel (24hrs). The hotel is situated on a road in the middle of nowhere across from a noisy building site with a daily wake up call from 7:30am onwards. It has its own private beach which was nice apart from the howling gales and local tat sellers after "small monies". We were all inclusive and could not fault the food (hope you like courgettes). Drinks are served from 10:00 till 12:00am, not a particularly wide range of alcoholic drinks but are enough to numb the pain of the boredom and sheer crapness of the in-house entertainment (these people work v hard but it's simply pap!) We found that the bar staff were very abrupt especially towards the female guests. The MY TRAVEL rep was extremely helpful and approachable, i'd recommend going on a few of their excursions just to get out of the hotel! the reps cabaret night in Sousse was very enjoyable. Apparently 1 Dinar is a really good tip which we found out after leaving so don't get carried away.
