My husband and myself Just left Royal Thalassa to return home. We are deeply saddened for this holiday to end. I will miss the amazing time I spent at this exceptionally wonderful hotel.Great staff, great food and above all excellent service.
Good variety of food dishes that also changed regularly. from the main restaurant However Wasn’t too impressed with Mona restaurant.Limited dishes to choose from.
The most I will miss is the swimming at the indoor pool. I was a beginner when I stepped into that pool but with the help and guidance of Yaseen the life guard and Moiz I can now swim.
Osam every morning saw me walk in and prepared a fresh doughnut for me.
All the team in the restaurant was amazing, they always greeted us with a massive smile and were never reluctant to help. Momo, Chica and Meme were always fun to be around.
The trip to the Olive festive was a pleasant surprise.Tasting various types of breads and olive oils which was arranged by the hotel staff.
The staff at reception desk were friendly and always helpful.
The rooms were cleaned daily to a high standard with fresh water bottles on daily bases.
I will definitely go back.

Right we arrived for a Christmas break and leave on the 28th December.
Hotel is clean but tired, gym is chargeable per day,
Food is a small selection, very similar everyday with long waits for the grill and pancakes. Overall disappointed with food choice.
Location...middle of nowhere, nothing outside the resort in a walkable distance.
Service is ok, if you speak French it's a major plus, English speak folk will struggle!!
No onsite shop/arcades etc
The entertainment....well it's cringy, awful and runs late! Rather not have it than see the room walk out during the acts it was that bad!
Beach is limited and covered in litter either side of the hotel not a nice walk on the beach.
All inclusive drinks are served from one bar so it does gets busy and water is chargeable!!
You are provided with 2 bottles a day (if you're lucky) then it's about £2 a bottle of water 7TDN for a 900ml glass bottle.
Overall all better places to stay for the money!!

Food selection was not great, same things on menu most nights. Mainly catered to French and Russian. Food not labelled well at all, had what i thought was chicken and labelled as chicken, turned out to be fish!! Good job i didn’t have any allergies. Same again with dessert, my partner had a cake that had nuts in but this was disclaimed anywhere! Again, luckily not allergies but only a matter of time until someone does have a reaction to the poor labelling system.
Bar staff morning and night were amazing, very attentive and friendly!
Rooms were okay, we had pool view and the toilet made a constant ‘filling up/flushing’ sound which was annoying. Beds were comfy and TV had Netflix, Prime etc which was good.
We had a distressing encounter with our coach driver on the transfer on the way back which we have contacted our provider about.
We booked a massage at the spa and we were forgotten about! Got into our massage 50 mins after the allotted time, which it was then rushed and the massage was not 50 minutes (which is what we paid for)
The hotel itself is no longer a 5-star as it is quite aged and needs some funds putting into it.

Loved coming and staying here.
The staff were lovely. The food was tasty, particularly the couscous. There was always a variety to cater to different food palettes. It was also lovely how the staff mingled with the guests and this created a very homely, welcoming environment, particularly Chada.
There were direct, regular trains to Monastir and Sousse. It costs half a dinar, so much cheaper than the 30 dinar plus that you are charged by the taxi drivers.
There isn't a masjid in the area, but you can easily hop on the train if you want to join for communal prayer. It is a quick journey into Monastir and the masjid is about a 5 minute walk when you get there.
My room was lovely and kept looking lovely by the staff. Noura was always really warm.
The themed nights were entertaining. Some hit differently but that's because people have different tastes, which is why they do a variety.
The other guests were also really welcoming, too.
I look forward to coming back and seeing everyone again. I have made some friends on this trip, both in the hotel and on my travels, that I will definitely keep in touch with and hope to see again soon.

You’re comparing this place unnecessarily to a European hotel. Let’s not forget, you didn’t choose this one by accident — the good price also comes with different standards than what you’re used to in Europe.
The courtyard and the pool area are very neat and clean, and the beach is also well maintained. However, the tennis court, and especially the tennis rackets, are in quite poor condition.
The animators are rather annoying, constantly shouting — especially Zero. The DJ is terrible; it would honestly be better if he just let the music play on its own. The live music evenings were mostly nice, except for the synthesizer duo, which was more like a comedy show than a concert.
As for the food, some dishes are really tasty, while others are almost inedible. The fruits are dry and flavorless. On the positive side, the pizza, pancakes, fries, seafood, and most of the fish dishes were delicious. The vegetable cream soups were also good.
The bottled drinks were nice, but the lemonades and slushy were about ten times sweeter than they should be. The desserts were mostly tasty, and the ice cream was fine too.
However, no matter how many cocktails you drink throughout the day, you won’t get drunk — I have no idea what they’re mixing into the spirits (rum, whiskey, etc.). The beer is also of pretty low quality
