Air conditioning lacks power
Several previous guests say one of the small negatives of this hotel is the lack of power in the air conditioners, which meant their rooms were somewhat hotter than they would have liked.
negative:
There are bugs about
Previous guests were annoyed to encounter insects such as flies and wasps around the hotel and on the beach. Most reviewers did not notice or were not bothered, but this resort may not be ideal for those with a sensitive aversion to insects.

Smoking allowed indoors
Smoking is allowed indoors in Tunisia and therefore at this resort, which many previous guests were unhappy to discover as it made dining in the restaurant a little less pleasant.
