Oceana Suites

This was our first trip to Tunisia. We spent a lot of time researching which hotel to choose and opted for this one due to the reviews and cost of holiday! We weren’t disappointed! The staff at this hotel really can’t do enough for you, even down to organising a doctor visit for our son who was taken ill with an eye infection. The pool bar staff are great they spend all their time catering to your needs during the endless hours sat around the pool. The restaurant staff are very attentive to your needs, after day 1 we had the same table for each meal laid out and ready for our meal which I think is above and beyond what we expected. The room was spacious and well laid with the biggest bed my wife and I have ever slept in(and comfy) and a more than adequate extra bed for our teenage son! Air conditioning was amazing and a welcome relief from the heat! Only down side with the room was, the bathroom could have been cleaned to a higher standard and more frequent, maybe I’m being a little picky? Also the mini bar didn’t get restocked on 1 day during the visit! The foyer and bar was spotless, spacious and cool, again the bar staff here were great! The hotel grounds were spotlessly clean. The only real negative about the hotel is all day Saturday and Sunday there are many more guests (adults and children) and the general atmosphere changes, busy and loud both at the pool and in the restaurant( maybe a game changer for some). All in all we really did enjoy our time here, we are looking at the possibility of returning again next year! Thankyou to ALL the staff at this hotel for your hard work and dedication!

First of all staff were lovely no complaints. However the receptionists were not so friendly and efficient. We booked through Easy Jet holidays and on our departure from hotel we were supposed to get information from Easy Jet as to when bus would pick us up we received nothing. We saw a small bald receptionist/manager who booked us in when we arrived and was very friendly then however not so on our departure We told him we had not had word re our departure and eventually he said bus would arrive 8 am for our 10.30 am flight. We questioned this saying was that early enough and he assured us it was. In fact we went back and asked again and was assured it was right. At 06.30 am next day, day of our departure we got phone call to say bus was waiting for us . We had just got up and no way could we be ready in 5/10 mins! We ended up with a taxi which cost us 50 euros. We were at Oceana hotel 10 years ago and found food not so good. Nowhere to get light snack at lunchtime. Chairs in main area very uncomfortable. As I said staff on main lovely just needs better management.

Advertised as 5*. Knew it was tired. Rooms and corridors to rooms very tired. Damp patches on walls, worn carpet. Rooms were big but lacked modern finesse and amenities. Comfortable beds. Cleaning staff excellent. Communal areas well maintained and elegant. A bit soulless with only reception area bar open. Restaurant. Advertised 3. Only buffet open or Al a Carte twice a week and the food was the same as the buffet but plated for you and served rather than serve yourself. Poor for the price. Buffet was excellent. Plenty of choice and Weill prepared to cater for all nationalities and tastes and ages. Need to time your meals well to ensure a terrace table. Must be a bunfight in high season. Beach restaurant was over priced rubbish. Sent the food back twice and it was not included in the hotel package. Drinks: reasonable quality local wine. Nothing to rave about but cold enough. Pool and grounds: immaculately kept. Excellent all day from 10am drinks at lounger service. Pool guys with lounger cushions and towels. Good shade from the trees. Must be very busy in high season and even in June it was a little bit hard to ensure the same lounger unless you wanted to be up at dawn. We moved around and never had a major issue. Beach was good. A bit dirty. Nice breeze most days so pleasant to sit out until 7pm. Guests. Overseas guests on packages were mainly retired couples. Eat early..grab bar stool types. At weekends the hotel fills up with locals and their kids. It becomes a nightmare to find a lounger or get service. The staff seems to gravitate to the locals or maybe they are just louder. Also if you don’t like smokers…this hotel is a no no. Smoking everywhere despite no smoking signs. Adult only area: never open, bar closed. Smelt of cat wee. Avoid at all costs. It might not have been high season but this hotel is missing a trick. It could be amazing but seems a bit seedy and run down. It felt it bit like a Marriot conference hotel in New Jersey. Trying to hold onto the 5* but needing to hide the fact that it isn’t fully open. I don’t think I would go back for the price and I wouldn’t pay high season prices. It rates an average. Finally, never close the balcony door when outside as no way to open from outside. Currency exchange at reception is reasonable if you show them you know the rates. Water pressure in showers is useless but it does have baths in the rooms…great but does indicate the hotels age.

me and my family came to visit here for 2 weeks last summer. some positives of the resort was the lovely pool area, the staff were mostly very friendly and welcoming, service was good and rooms were clean but dated. the hotel had no real entertainment and very little going on in the evenings. the food was nothing special, did make me sick once aswell. i would advise being cautious if you are a young woman. despite being there with 5 other family members, multiple members of staff made inappropriate advances, would only serve me drinks and only remember my name whilst ignoring my family, and a couple even went as far as to request socials/number off me, with one obtaining it without my consent? very strange and unprofessional and made me feel uneasy during my stay. also there’s nothing around the hotel, nowhere you can really walk except the beach. but it is clean and beautiful for a short stay.

Myself and my wife visited for a short 5 day break in June 2026. Our primary goal was a short stay for pure relaxation, hence we booked no trips and only took a walk along the beach to the Marina (about a 20 minute walk each way). Let’s start with the positives: The pool and grounds were very well maintained. The pool was a nice temperature and there were always plenty of sunbeds no matter the time we got to the pool. There was always someone to bring you towels and cushions for the sun beds and the pool bar staff did walk around to bring you drinks. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. We had a “regular” seat in the restaurant and we were always served by Nouredime - he was always friendly and had our usual order at our table upon arrival towards the end of our stay. He even decorated our table for our last night - fantastic service. The entrance lobby was very grand and made a good first impression. We did eat at the Culinarium and this was a good night for food - would recommend. Now for the cons: The room was large but dated. The shower was awful - burning hot then cold and the pressure was shocking. The balcony also has no handle on the outside of the door - so don’t get yourself locked out or you are very stuck!! There was also very little information in the room. Usually you get some kind of leaflet or information about the hotel (a map, some local places etc) but there was nothing. The restaurant food choice was poor. The food there was generally nice, but I have had much better variety in lesser rated hotels. Breakfast was the worst with lots of very runny fried eggs and not a huge amount more. As an all inclusive I would expect much more. The corridors were very dark and dingy, almost needed night vision goggles. There were some damp patches and I think the corridors and rooms largely need a massive overhaul. I went back to my room on one occasion to find a maintenance man with our bathroom sink out and on the floor. Later I realise he had essentially replaced our tap, but our sink had not been resealed. I would not have minded this at all if we were informed prior to the work, but there was no communication about this. We also got locked out of our room where our key stopped working. We needed to get a maintenance man with a laptop to unlock it for us and let us back in which took about half an hour. The guys at the pool bar on one occasion were also very rude to an elderly couple who did not realise that certain drinks were extra on top of all inclusive which I found very harsh. Although all inclusive should mean all inclusive as opposed to you can have some but not all drinks. I get this for some expensive drinks but there was about half the menu that was extra. The pool, grounds and staff saved the trip really as the food and rooms were well below par.
