Royal Thalassa Monastir

This hotel is quite isolated.Across the road from Monastir airport but one and a halves houtsfrom Enfida airport where we landed! There was nowhere to walk to. Nearest shop twenty Minute walk. It was too hot to try. The hotel,s own beach was lovely but absolutely covered in rocks and very smelly seaweed. Impossible to swim. After a couple of days great big J C B came to clear the beach. Very impressive! The pong remained. So we were left with the swimming pool . No complaints. About the pool. Dining. Breakfast there was all kinds to eat,we were disappointed ,only tried once. Lunch was O .K . soup great , fish good.main courses not all that. Dinner similar to lunch.sweet course loads of cakes quite good, they also served tons of Strawberries that were ripe and delicious! Nice ice cream.4o'clock lovely crepe Suzette. Entertainment. One small bar for so many guests, just solo artistes singing over their own music. Some good, some O. K ., some not. Tom Jones Delilah went down well every night !! Nice lager, spirits O K ,quese far too long to be served. Beer served in one third of a pint glasses with an unbelievably slow beer pump.you have to get one drink ahead of yourself. Bar staff tried their very best. Room. Housekeeper wery good.5 stars. Fridge in room, useless, there was nothing to put in. Very good indoor pool,6 feet deep. No shop or mini market at the hotel Boutique type units, we did not see anybody buy anything ! Will not be returning !

Nice hotel but not a 5 stars for these reasons : Hotel needs renovation. It must been a nice hotel in its early days. Room are very spacious and bed every comfortable but cleaning could be better. Luvkmy room was ready when i checked in but smelled paint and i realises the bath was painted and my feet full had white paint on when i went for a shower 😅 Too many staff doing nothing; no toilet tissue or hand wash in the communal toilet. when you ask staff they look at you like they don't know what you are doing. No direction/ trainning for the job. Food was OK but no flavour. Too much options with no taste/flavour; could been better to have few option each day but nice and tasty. Cakes tasted like a normal bread with sugar. Some staff are too friendly. If you are a single women you feel uncomfortable of them trying to chat to you and asking your number. Very few staff are genuinely friendly and very caring for the guest without waiting for a tip. Pool bar staff specially the guys with glasses ( can't remember his name ) is very rude. No bath gown or sleepers for a 5 stars hotel available in the room, no shampoo and body wash hard to come out from the dispenser No shops/restaurants/ coffee shops etc near the hotel and then you have to pay £35 to access the gym. Spar and massage are over priced too. At least the GYM should be available gir hotel guest.

At first sight, the hotel looks amazing, but once you settle in, the issues become apparent. This hotel barely meets a 3-star standard. A 5-star hotel would provide all basic toiletries (toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, etc.), but this hotel provides none of these. The rooms are poorly maintained, and the air conditioning barely works. The food is absolutely disgusting, with the same repetitive menu every day, and there are flies around the food constantly. The drinks are very cheap quality, and the glasses are washed without any washing liquid, which unfortunately led me to catch a cold sore. You won’t find proper coffee anywhere in the hotel; it’s just unacceptable. The staff are relatively nice, but the management is very rude. Entertainment options are quite limited. There are no shops nearby, so if you need to buy anything, you’ll have to go into the city. Overall, the experience was very disappointing, especially considering the amount of money we spent on this holiday. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this hotel.
