Hotel Royal Beach Reviews

Please stay away from this place - the kitchen/restaurant is a health hazard - 5 days of food poisoning and we were not alone!! - Friendly staff though, will direct you to pharmacy for antibiotics which you will need! Private beach filthy, rooms tired and poorly cleaned, never have cash for changing money - on a more positive note well located on beach, pools clean, staff helpful. Been to tunisia 5 times before and love the resort/country & people, just this hotel needs to have a major refurb & clean and management needs to sort food so as not to kill anyone!

When we arrived at the Hotel? Royal Beach we were given a room which was dirty, enough wardrope space for four garments it did not have any drawer space we had to walk round the beds sideways because the space was so small the toilet was filthy I complained to our rep and asked to be changed to another room which and he promised us that would be no problem. Four days later we were given another room with a seaview and a verandah which my wife had to clean as it was discusting. The rooms in the hotel were never cleaned the beds were made and the towels changed that was as far as the cleaning went.

We paid Panorama holidays for half-board but had to eat out on numerous occasions as the food was discusting and vile. Breakfast consisted of boiled eggs or ommelate, the evening meal consisted of Chicken,beef,fish.watered down soup that was tasteless and the sweat was melon. When I complained to the management I was told that it was because of the East European guests but if I wanted to pay extra I could have steak. I was not the only guests that complained but it seemed to fall on deaf ears.When I complained to Panorama they offered me 350 Dinars back for the inconvenience of having to eat out and promised an immediate improvement in the food which did not materials. I told my rep that nothing had changed to which he replied there was nothing else he could do.

I would not recomend this so called Hotel to anyone.

We went for a relaxing week to Tunisia in October this year.It was great.The Royal Beach is a lovely hotel,yes i do agree with other reviewers,the rooms do need a bit of a refurb however ours was spotlessly clean.It was a small room no balcony,but a fantastic view of the beach from our window,the hotel is right on the beach.We went half board and the meals were fine a bit repetitive but very edible especially the ommeletts on a morning,(you pick your own fillings.)The service we could not fault,especially ";Jimmy"; real name Samir his service in the evenings was brilliant.

There was entertainment on every night and this is the first holiday since our children were small that we stopped in the hotel instead of going elsewhere.We had lovely weather untill the day before we came home,and boy did it rain.We only went on one excursion and that was the african night we got picked up at two in the afternoon got took to a zoo which was great,then right next door is a building where you had your meal and lots of entertainment,african singing and dancing i even got taught how to play the bongo drums (that was a real laugh so my husband said).We did go to the medina and we certainly ran the gauntlet.My husband was offered 2 camels and one sad looking donkey for me (they could have at least offered 3 camels, i was most upset,so was my husband when i said no,as i dont think he was going to.)The Tunisian people are like any other nationalities,some good some not so.

All in all we had a great time and i would like to say hello and thanks to the other guests that made our holiday as well they were from all over England,and not fogetting Scotland,especially Ken and Christine from Falkirk our breakfast partners, all others were from Newcastle,Preston,Manchester,Nottingham,London, and Yorkshire,a fabulous group of people.We are going back in April next year so if any of the above are reading this it will probably be the last week in April.

All in all a thoroughly enjoyable holiday.Can i take this opportunity to wish all reviewers a very Merry Christmas and hopefully a prosperous New Year. P.S. beds and umbrellas on the beach only 2dinar for 2 people.

Well, where do we start, we just arrived back from this hotel 2 days ago and my husband is still very poorly with food poisoning.

While we were at the hotel for 2 weeks, we spoke to and met many people also on holiday, who amazingly were ";very poorly"; aswell. The food leaves alot to be desired, reheated meat, and on our 2nd day there a cockroach was in my rice. I really am afraid that i cannot say too much nice about this place, apart from ";holiday from hell";. There is an amazing barman there called Fued who really is too nice for this place. I cannot for the life of me understand how this hotel as been awarded 3*, more like 1*.

Entertainment, well working in the entertainment industry myself, I can honestly say that I have never been so ashamed of someone who calls himself an entertainer, not only did he upset alot of people while we were there by trying it on in a rude way with lots of customers, some of them where very young girls, holidaying with their parents. (not happy parents). There is only one thing that the management of this hotel is interested in and that is ripping you off. The surrounding areas of the outside pool went uncleaned for 3 days while we were there, hence flies and crawlys everywhere.

We really were happy to leave this ";Fawlty Towers";. We would never return there even if it was free.

I have been back from Hotel Royal Beach in Tunisia for 3 days, 2 days before we were due to come home a doctor had to be called out because i was suffering bad stomach ache etc. and 2 days after getting back i had to se my own doctor there was something causing everyone to come down with stomach ache and diahhorea, this has put me off the resort.

I must admit that the rooms were very basic but very clean the cleaners clean your rooms everyday and you get clean towels everyday.

I do not think much to the food but if you like eggs for breakfast and chips for tea then you will be ok. I would reccommend that you take your own coffee if you drink it because the coffee is fowl.

We did eat at the western bar just outside the hotel and that was very nice.

I would reccommend going to the reps night it is very entertaining, there is not much entertainment in the hotel. Also on the hotel description is says that the sun loungers around the pool are free, there are cushions on them and you get charged 2 dinar for them so if you don't want to pay ask for no cushion. The sand is white sand but it is full of rubbish for example cigarette buts. The beds on the beach cost 2 dinar also.

Be very weary when going in the sea because there were jellyfish there, I would not reccommend going on a boat trip, if you like swimming in the sea because of the size of the jellyfish. And a couple of the people got ripped off. Do not buy any gold unless it is from a proper jewellers.

The 'TN' trainers that are for sale out their are genuine trainers and are a real bargain. Do not pay any more than 30 dinars for the trainers. But be very careful when you go to the medina make sure you get to the right price take the trainers off them first before you give them the money because if you give them the money before they give you the trainers they won't give you them until you give them more money.

The pool is very nice, and gets the sun all day.

There is a building site next door, but it was not really a problem. We had a smell in the room though all week from the toilets the building work most be doing something to the sewerage.

The staff are all very freindly, and our rep 'Atef' was very nice.

A taxi is only 3 dinar to the medina do not pay any more unless you are tipping.

And when arriving at the airport going to your resort please get one of the porters and tip them a pound because the bus drivers get pissed off if you don't because they say it is not their job to be lifting the cases on and off the bus.

If you like nightlife this is not the place for you.

If you go to this hotel make your own judgements.
