Royal Azur Thalassa

Food options at breakfast and dinner were decent. We are glad we went for the half board option. Desserts were really nice. Free access to indoor heated pools were really good and jacuzzi. Great view from our bedroom with two balconies. ATM and money exchange was available at the hotel. Corner shops and food shops also nearby. Evening entertainment bit loud. Beautiful view of seafront and walkable to beach with unlimited drinks. Spacious rooms and quiet. Sadly bedsheets were dirty did request for them to be changed but were still bubbly and very uncomfortable to sleep in. Pillows were too soft. Carpets a bit run down in hotel and smell of cigarettes in corridors. Requested iron three times and didnt get it till next day. Any additional water bottles for the room we were told had an extra charge. Decent hotel for a short stay.

Excellent magnifique extraordinaire

We enjoyed a wonderful week at the Royal Azur and would not hesitate to recommend to family, friends and to stay again. The communal areas of the hotel are smart, stylish and as with all all aspects, spotlessly clean. The staff are welcoming and polite, especially the staff of the main restaurant and the excellent Mr Lofti! We found the quality and variety of meals to be excellent. Fresh fruit and crepes for breakfast, a great range of salad options of lunch and a great variety for dinner including sushi, grilled fresh fish (sea bass, sea bream, king prawns), steak, pasta and pizzas and local cuisine. The poolside areas and gardens are beautifully maintained with ample numbers of comfortable sun loungers, lovely gardens and flower beds and superb sea views across the infinity pool. This was our first visit to Tunisia but based on this experience, we will definitely return. Some earlier reviews have posted adverse comments in respect of food, our experience was completely the opposite. Accepting one man’s meat can be another man’s poison, we can only assume most recent comments arose during Ramadan when things are definitely quieter. We arrived during Eid and had a wonderful time. We did eat in the Kasbah restaurant and the food and service was not as good as the main restaurant and probably wouldn’t recommend this. We have seen reference in other reviews to tipping staff. We did tip where deserved and this was greatly appreciated by the recipient who would go the extra mile. But we are talking less than the price of a cup of coffee in the UK. But this does not detract from what would be an all round excellent service anyway. Tunisia is not a wealthy country and areas outside the hotel and surrounds are not what you might see in other European winter sun resorts. But it is rich in its history, culture and the warmth and friendliness of its people, something which money cannot buy!
