Royal Thalassa Monastir

Excellent

We. Went as a family. The appearance is nice. On the phone the beach was nice swimming pool. Who's nice? But the The Food? Was awful cold The same each day. Complain to the chef and manager no understanding. Avoid this hotel if you got young children. I frequently Go to Tunisia, and this is the father's worst one.

Beautiful hotel. BUT…. The food is unbelievably poor, there are limited options and often empty tray for the most popular food (chips). Lunch is the worst, a couple of times we had to just have dessert. Snacks are advertised but is so unclear where to get them from. The cleaners come at 9am which is so inconvenient. We are here a week and have had the room ‘cleaned’ twice. The drinks are not on a ‘help yourself basis’ like every other all inclusive we have been to. This makes so much more work for the servers and lead to us having two evening meals without a drink. Nothing at all to do around the hotel, not even a shop. The beds are massive, however the pillows are like bricks. States that there is wifi around the whole hotel, but only in the rooms and around the pool. DEFINITELY NOT a 5* hotel!! I’d give it 2* MAX!!!

Firstly I can admit the hotel is very nice and the pool and entertainment are enjoyable however, thats where the positives stop for me. By far the worst all inclusive I’ve been too for your money, the food is the bang same every single day for every meal and there’s been times where we have got there (not late) and there’s just empty trays sat there not being refilled and we’ve just had to skip straight to dessert and go hungry. There’s a so called snack bar where they do food 4-5 however we have not seen this anywhere. Another issue is that the cleaners come at the absolute crack of dawn before your even awake, we have been here for 6 days and had our room cleaned twice which just isn’t good enough. Another thing and this may just be me being picky but during the meals (except breakfast) you can’t even pour your own drinks… you have to wait for a waiter to come round and pour a drink for you, admittedly there are waiters that are ontop of this and do it frequently however though on the flip side we have been through and entire meal and dessert without someone even asking us if we want a drink.

5 star, hotel? You're having a laugh. 7 days at hotel booked with EasyJet holidays. Timely transfer from Enfidha airport and check in. Nice clean lobby and pool area looked fine. Surrounding area, a wasteland. All internal areas had meagre AC. Entertainment seemed limited but of no interest to us anyway. Sparse outdoor seating in the evenings unless you use the restaurant tables and chairs. Room - We had reserved a pool and seaview room (376) which was adequate in size for 2 people. Daily water supply in 2ltr bottles. Small, empty fridge. Room dated and plain. No drawers for clothes. Kettle and coffee/tea but they don't seem to supply milk/creamer. Bring your own. Small old TV with jumping grainy picture and BBC World Service the only English channel. No USB for your own media. Roomy bathroom but 3 times we had water dripping down the walls from above. Had to use towels to soak up the water on the floor. Daily cleaning very underwhelming. Room not swept and the same bedding all week, not ideal when the inadequate AC barely kept the room below outside temperature. 30TB deposit for safe. Nice balcony and seaview but mozzies a bit bitey at night. Wi-fi very patchy. Pretty good in room 9MB/s but less/none elsewhere and regular dropouts. If you have the time (we didn't) a local Orange 10GB SIM at airport was 31TL but they only take cash. Food - warm at best and samey. Labelling poor and a risk of cross contamination. Best food was from the outside grill at lunch and dinner.. We got grilled prawns, calamari in garlic butter sauce (yum), beef liver etc. All served fresh and HOT. Breakfast OK. Omelette cooked to order, coffee nice and hot, churros, yoghurts, cereals, fresh fruit and occasionally freshly squeezed orange juice. Disappointing chewy baguette bread. Croissants were the rubbery type too. Foul, tasteless 'butter'. Thin, under seasoned soups. Reasonable salads and excellent fresh fruits including dates. Wouldn't come here with kids unless they can live off pizza or fries (if you can grab any). As expected, there is the usual rude melee with these lower* AI setups. You can sit outside with the flies or inside with inadequate AC. We had our one free evening at the Mona al-a-carte. A little better than the buffet, and it was nice to be served at the table away from the usual impolite scramble. Drink - No self service and little table service so be prepared to get in line. Full strength? Don't make me laugh (cry?). My wife rarely drinks. A glass of advocat gets her tipsy back home. First night she had 3 beers and 2 vodka/cokes and was completely unaffected. I'm convinced the liquor is all the same basic low/no strength stuff given dodgy individual flavourings. Tip. Buy the Celtia beer in 33cl bottles. OK it costs 9TL but 5% and tastes much better than the seemingly 0.0 AI draft swill served in kid's plastic tumblers. The price of the limited imported alcohol, not surprisingly, stratospheric. Do yourself a favour and get a bottle of your favour
