Nozha Beach

The room was very clean by hayet 🤗

Overall enjoyed our holiday with very friendly staff , lovely pool area and great sea view room (room 3233). As per other reviews we had a few issues though: Minimum 1.5 hour transfer and not the 65 mins as per the TUI website Bed mattresses rock hard Chaotic restaurant with very little cutlery, no table cloths. No restaurant themed nights so many foods repetitive. Repetitive food Luke warm. Popular choices not replenished quickly enough so expect 5-10 minute queues. Drink and cocktail options limited. No sparkling wine Stuck in lift on last day ( by room above ) and there’s no alarm button in the lift ! Few souvenir shops outside but nothing else to walk to. Mini fridge not replenished. Not even bottled water. French based hotel with most clients French. 30 dinar charge for deposit of pool/beach towels. You get it back at the end of the holiday but then have no where to spend them. See exchange below. We took our own towels so it didn’t apply to us, but people we met while there told us about it so we were glad we didn’t need them. Things we liked : Very friendly bar and waiting staff throughout the resort Huge pool and surrounding area which we especially liked. ( not heated ) No issues getting sun beds ( mid April) Free room safe Easy to exchange sterling into Tunisian dinars at reception ( no conversion charge ) or via cash machine ( small charge ). Keep receipts because you need them when converting back . You must spend or exchange dinars BEFORE you go through passport control. If you wait until after passport control and tell them you have some dinars when asked you will lose it as they will take it all. It was a cheap holiday early in the year and overall my wife and I enjoyed it. Would we return ? Maybe, but probably not ……..

Facilities and staff good. Clientele easy to be around , very mixed ages/race, largely French. Only criticism is that Mediterranean & Tunisian separate food offers are awful & alcohol is not the usual strength/taste. Please have some cutlery trays at the door so guests can access when needed. Coffee is instant & not great. But the freshly cooked food is excellent. Spa far too expensive. Particularly loved the pool and fish barbq on the beach. Good location to access day trips. Got private taxi for the day for 300Tdr. Tunis/Carthage/Sidi bou Said a great success.

We enjoyed this hotel, we did have a few issues with the first room they provided, the beds were rock hard (and even in the second room they provided - I had two duvets on the bed and still felt how hard the mattress was) the smell in the first room was vile it was o strong of the sewers, and we were quite close to the outside bar and we could hear quite a lot of noise - did not sleep the first night after a long day. Spoke with the staff in the morning and they were very helpful and offered us a different room which was really nice (except rock hard bed) Hotel is lovely, the ground are lovely, the beach is lovely - but when we went there seemed to be a lot of people who smoked constantly and you were surrounded by it, which made it impossible to relax by the beach. Food was nice, lots to choose from, the meal times could get quite chaotic, some people would had no manners. I did get an upset stomach which was lasted a few days, and I was quite ill, I wasn't 100% sure what it was but I did eat an apple that had it's skin on, and they do say not to eat unpeeled fruit, which I didn't know about until I came home. The entertainment people never asked us to join in with anything, and did tend to go to the same groups of people. Bar staff were great inside and outside bars. They remembered your drinks, and were very attentive. One of the reception staff who we exchanged money with, every time they served us they never gave a receipt showing the exchange rate on, and they always gave us less for a our money than when Mohammad ( i think this was his name) served us - Mohammad is lovely as was the hotel guest manager. The cleaner would take our spare card out of the air con and take the card away, why do this, if they don't want the air con on just leave the card in the room, not take it away. We didn't go outside of the hotel, but a few people said it was okay not much to do.

The food at the hotel is awful luke warm at best, never a great choice & trays are slow to be replenished. Meat served on the bone & the poorest of cuts & often overcooked. I am not a fussy eater by any mean but even I am struggling to find something to eat.
