Carthage Land Vacations

The positives: very kind and friendly staff, well maintained gardens, clean bedrooms and tidy environment. Pleasant and well maintained path to the private beach. Good VFM. The negatives: in October none of the bar area is open after 6pm, no food available other than going into the main Carthage Thalasso hotel. It isn’t immediately clear that you can use the Carthage Thalasso facilities, that should be much more easily found. The main indoor pool area is quite tired, with a roof that leaks in the rain. The main negative is the kitchen. It’s sold as self catering apartments but the kitchen is poorly equipped. We were in a suite meant to have a double bed and a sofa bed (which wasn’t a sofa bed- more on that later); so should theoretically sleep 4 and that was how it was described. However, the kitchen equipment consisted of 2 forks, 2 knives, 2 dessert spoons, 2 small cups and saucers, 2 small tumblers, 2 small plates and 2 small dinner plates. There was no cooking utensils. There was one ancient and grubby cooking pot and one frying pan with a very wobbly handle. To be fair the fridge and freezer were new and very clean. The bed situation was odd. As mentioned it was sold as “with sofa bed”- and there was a sofa where the back cushions could be taken off to make a bed. But we had to ask for extra bedding. In the general area: There’s no public transport though there are readily available taxis. The next door Carrefour supermarket is very well stocked and handy.

Lovely hotel, looks like the photographs. Food was brilliant, I usually dislike buffets however the food was very tasty with variety. Majority of the staff were lovely, however some were very rude. Reception staff (except the porter who was absolutely lovely, always had a smile on his face!) were very rude, didn’t even say bye or asked about our stay at check out. Asked to change our bedsheet one night as the baby had an accident and the staff member sent was extremely rude and was cursing us in Arabic under his breath. Not nice considered there are people out there with medical issues and no one should have to face that sort of treatment. The beach was lovely, very clean and sandy clear waters. Overall a great stay minus the few encounters of rude staff

Beautiful. Stunning views. Friendly staff. We loved our room. It was very comfortable and thoughtfully decorated.
