“Guardando l'ora di ritornarci!”

Sono appena tornato da una settimana il soggiorno presso l'Hotel Saadia Garden - era un tempo bellissimo e rilassante e non vedo l'ora di tornarci!

Sono appena tornato da una settimana il soggiorno presso l'Hotel Saadia Garden - era un tempo bellissimo e rilassante e non vedo l'ora di tornarci! Siamo arrivati alle 01.30 e il portiere notturno era gentile e disponibile. Purtroppo non abbiamo potuto aprire la porta del bagno nel nostro bagno, ma lui ci ha spostato in un'altra camera con bellissima vista sul cortile immediatamente. La camera era essenziale ma pulita e confortevole (diciamo la verità, è solo per dormire). L'area della piscina e l'acqua erano entrambi molto pulito e c'erano sempre molti lettini a go round (più siamo arrivati verso la fine del nostro soggiorno - l'hotel aveva appena riaperto la settimana prima quindi era ancora un po' di lavori in corso, ma abbiamo trovato questo carino!). Il team dell'animazione sono tutti sublime, sempre sorridente, sempre divertenti. Se amate la pace e la tranquillità questo NON è l'albergo per voi come ci sono attività e musica dal 1000 fino al 1300 e 1500 fino al 1800. Attività incluse aquafit, yoga, pallanuoto, tiro con l'arco, latino e danza del ventre, aerobica, freccette, ping-pong - abbiamo anche visto alcuni animatori insegnare il kids club break dance! Il ristorante è spazioso e il cibo è buono (camerieri ancora molto sorridente e disponibile). Il cibo non è particolarmente tunisino, ma come altri recensori hanno già detto, se siete in cerca di cibo Inglese andare in Spagna. C'era sempre riso e pasta, verdure due o tre piatti, della carne o pesce piatto, zuppa, pane e ohhh i dolci!!!! Un po' stufi cocomero però. L'intrattenimento serale con gli animatori era davvero divertente - si aspetta uno spettacolo, della commedia e un sacco di schizzi del fachiro di danza. Abbiamo provato il bar britannica ma la musica era orribile - troppo "contribuiscono" per noi. Avremmo fatto con qualche buon vecchio stile 80s discoteca. Non ci siamo sentiti sotto pressione per partecipare a gite organizzate - se si ferma poi Ali Baba e co vi lascia soli. Se vi piace la compagnia di altre persone inglesi mentre siete all'estero, nuovamente, andare in Spagna, mentre gli ospiti qui sono principalmente dell'Est europeo. Nel complesso ci siamo trovati benissimo e ci ritornerò senz'altro. Un eccellente rapporto qualità-prezzo. Nessuna lamentela.

Firstly i have been travelling to this hotel for the past 9 years and reacently it has undergone many changes. Late 2009 a new management team came in and changed a number of things. Yes things in my opinion still need changing but lets face it rome wasnt built in a day... On arrival the receptionist Houda informed us that our room wasnt going to be ready for a while, as the rooms had just been vacated, we where given our all inclusive wrist bands, registeration cards and a cold welcoming drink whilst we waited, by the time we had filled out the forms and gone back to reception our bags had been taken up to our room, we had such a lovely view over the pool area and gardens.. The rooms are is drastic need of revamping but lets face it they are for sleeping in only they are spotlessly clean and the beds are comfortable enough, We had a double bed and the child slept on the sofa bed which was quite adequate there are bedside tables and a huge dressing table for all your make up, brushes and nicknacks a very large mirror and plenty of wardrobe/cupboard space for your clothes, the balconies are spacious with a table and chairs, and if your lucky enough to get a pool view then its very pretty overlooking the pool and gardens. The bathrooms consist of bath with shower facilities, a sink again with a huge mirror and a seperate w/c these need updating but again very clean. The pool area is where all the action is during the day with cries of water polo being shouted and people of every nationality get into two groups and almost kill each other playing the game. Guys its only a game :) There are plenty of sunbeds around the pool with matress' to go on top of them, Ben the pool attendant is lovely and will always offer to get them for you, The pool is large with a seperate kids pool, at the side although the main pool has steps and a very shollow end where the kids can splash and play.. The restaurant is lovely and spacious with plenty of staff to get you drinks and things food is plentyful but basic, breakfast normally consists of eggs, cheese, tomatoes, cereal, yoghurts, fresh conserves and toast. If you like fresh fish, rice, lamb, chicken, salads, soups and pasta then your not going to starve, my 7 year old is one very fussy eater and went days living on chips, i would always ask the restaurant manager if she could have an omlette and they always made her one fresh in the kitchen, the deserts are to die for, lovely cakes, fresh water melon and biscuits. Try the cous cous and the ojja traditional tunisian food. The animation staff work very hard to entertain all the different nationalities and there is always something happening in the hotel the nightly shows are excellent and very well organised. The guys work very hard and put in a lot of effort to make sure people have a good time. We went to the british bar a few times whilst we where there, this isnt part of your all inclusive but isnt expensive, around 2.80 for 2 bottles of beer, the music is good, atmosphere fantastic this isnt only there for the guests they also let tunisians in too, you need to be on your guard as some of the tunisian men in there are a little sleezy but if you have any problems the security staff are there to help out. We had a few problems whilst we where staying here, nothing major but we reported them to reception and they where dealt with straight away, what i will say is if you do have any problems dont go into reception like a blazing gun shouting and yelling (as some did) if you are calm and speak with houda or nebil they will try their best to help you as much as they can. Will i return to this hotel, yes of course i love it here, i describe it to people as small and intimate, the staff always have a smile for everyone from the managers to the cleaners everyone is friendly and nothing is too much trouble for anyone. I cant wait to return, i am going back to tunisia in november sadly i will be staying elsewhere, i am gutted as i love the saadia but i will be there in february :) One last thing, if you expect english food, like beans and bacon .. go to spain because you wont find them anywhere in tunisia.
