Enjoyed our one week holiday there. Hotel looking very tired. Apparentely hotel will be closing down after the summer season for refurbishment. Should be a great hotel to stay then. Staff are extremely helpful and polite. always there to help and also to joke with you too. Sammi the bar waiter was great, that guy should get a lot of tips (he earned them all and more) Rooms are not too bad seeing as it is a 3 star hotel. Food - have no system whatsoever. You have to choose your food first and then find a table to sit , most sittings had to find own cutlery and glasses. Food not too good, but hey you are in a Tunisian 3 star hotel what do you expect. Very close to beach which was great. Childrens entertainment was good, but repetitive. But kids seemsed to like that. There were very few English people in hotel, majority were German Met up with some great English people great fun. Would have liked to have had a few more English speaking people there. As the Germans seems to stick to their own, not interested in mingling with anyone else.(shame) On the whole we enjoyed our stay at Hotel Paradis

Just returned from this hotel, after the entrance exam which took about an hour we were shown to our room, which was a little 2 bed room with bunk beds not in the main hotel which we were lead to believe it would be, the room has not even been cleaned from the previous people either, there were even skid marks down the toilet, no towels, we had to ask 3 times for them got them later that evening. We had half used toilet rolls every time to room was cleaned, the patio door was left open after the maid to, and we had 2 towels for 4 people. After 3 nights of the kids top and tailing we were given another room with single beds for them, there was a large gap under door so alsorts could crawl in at night, so we put a blanket there and it was near the stage our room so we had music blearing out till 2 in morning. The kids pool had tiles missing of the bottom the filter grid were raised and dangerous to, and you had to put towels out at 6 in morning to get bed cos all the french and german would beat you to it. This hotel is mainly geared up for french and german the are only about 3 per cent of english there, the food was rubbish, lived on chips for 2 weeks, nothing for kids to eat at all, tables were not that clean either. Unless you were french or german the service was terrible or unless you tipped every time. The only good thing about the holiday was the weather and the air conditoning in the room. If you went out you could not bring anything in with you they liked you to spend all your money in the hotel, you would be challenged on the gate as to what you had in your bag, this hotel is more like a minus 1 star, it should not even be in the jms book, but then they said what do you expect for a third world country. Also the kids clubs don't bother no kids turned the rep princess ali as she called herself loved herself more than the job, just don't bother with it waste of money.

we returned from the hotel paridis on 04/06/06, after a great holiday in tunisia. the hotel rooms were very clean and spacious. we had one room with two double bedrooms, each with an en-suite, perfect for ourselves and our two young children.
the rooms were cleaned dailey and the towels and sheets could be changed daily if requested.
there were several lounges all kept immaculately clean with excellently waiter service.
we particularly enjoyed the pool areas which were well kept and monitored regularly by staff.
our children aged 5 and 7 years loved the kids clubs provided by the hotel and by
thomas cook
the food was well presented and they tried to cater for different nationalities and tastes. my husband put on half a stone in weight as he loved the desserts.
by the time we left however the dinning room (and the hotel) was becoming more hectic and staff were finding it more difficult to clear tables quickly enough.
WARNING - do not go to the hacienda as recommended by the rep - it was disgusting, diabolical service and even worse food.
the resterants by the marina in yasminne hammamet were of a very high standard and worth the money- very cheap. a two course meal for five people cost less than £50. including drinks.

I stayed here with my 2 children for a week in May. After reading some of the reviews I was quite suprised to find it clean & tidy. The rooms were bright and plenty of space and cleaned frequently. The anitmation team was good but not great. Breakfast was ok but nothing special, dinner was better with a good variety, although not too hot it was edible. To sum it up I was pleasantly suprised and could not believe the reviews I had read previously. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it. Definatley not the holiday from hell.
