Djerba Golf and Spa

There’s very little to do nearby beyond the beach, and no food is available during the day outside meal times. In the evenings, the entertainment team tries to get guests dancing or playing board games, but there doesn’t seem to be much else going on. The hotel feels worn and dated, more like a two-star place than a four-star one. The food was cold, and guests had to use a microwave in the dining room to warm it. Staff began clearing the food before the stated end of meal service, and water stations weren’t always available. The cocktails were awful. I’ve never stayed in a worse hotel. Don’t waste your money.

The kids had a great time with the entertainment, and the Animation team were brilliant throughout our stay. We had the best Christmas we’ve had in a long time and wished we could have stayed through New Year. We couldn’t have asked for more. I’d definitely recommend this hotel and will book again in April.

The hotel is just five minutes from the crocodile farm, which was a nice bonus. We’d be happy to come back. Our room was cleaned daily and the towels were changed. The food was excellent, with plenty of Italian dishes and always something Tunisian too. The beach had fine white sand, and there were enough sunbeds and umbrellas both there and at the pool. The water was clean and pleasantly warm in both places. There was evening entertainment for children and adults. The staff were kind and courteous, and surprisingly good-natured with small children.

The location, beach, and food were great, and the staff were friendly. We tipped them several times. Our old room was clean and quiet, which meant we slept well with our baby. Still, it felt more like a three-star hotel. It was good value, but next time I’d probably try another hotel on the island with better reviews. The entertainment was decent, though it was mostly aimed at Italians. If you’re not Italian, you might feel left out after a while. I didn’t mind. For the last three days, the beach was covered in seaweed, and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. We also had a few frustrating problems. Our room lost power for about 24 hours after we reported it. A cleaner had apparently messed up a switch, and it took a technician that long to arrive, even though we complained three times. The gym was a joke, even the basic dumbbells were unusable. Dishes and glasses were often dirty, and the Wi-Fi was unstable. It would’ve been nice to have proper Wi-Fi on the beach too.
