Skanes Family Resort

Small hotel with all the facilities you need for a short stay. We had a duplex room which was perfect for us but that sofa bed is probably only sufficient for a child. The rooms were cleaned every day but a little annoyed when we arrived late at night finding only 1 toilet roll and 1 bottle of water for 5 people.
The restaurant was very clean and food plentiful but found over the last few days of our trip it got really busy and it was difficult to find seating. The food does vary but just got fed up of with the same desserts and some of the specials which just weren't so special.
The pools are clean and well maintained. The beach itself is ok but probably wouldn't wonder too far as the sight of rubbish all over isn't great. There is security at the beach day and night but anyone can just stroll over.
There isn't a lot to do outside the resort but can easily get a taxi outside the gates or walk across the road to catch the metro train which is never on time but very cheap and with perfectly working AC.
Personally did not like Tunisia and don't see any reason to visit . Every where you looked outside the resort you just saw rubbish and rubble piled up.
If you haven't been to an all inclusive resort before and don't want to leave the hotel this place is worth a go.
Must say well done to the cleaners and restaurant staff. The hotel is one of the cleanest I have visited but they need more staff in the restaurant during peak periods.

The hotel itself is nice enough, but probably a 3 star and not 4 star as advertised. The rooms were always clean and a small ant issue was dealt with quickly. The pools are good (but cold), the beach is very small in depth but wide and isn't the cleanest. It could definitely do with a lick of paint and some fixtures and fittings replacing. There is only one small bar to drink at in the evening, with nowhere near enough seating for the size of the hotel, so the only option is to go to the entertainment, in an indoor hall through the car park, which is somewhat lacking. The food in the restaurant was very good for all inclusive, however it is all served by the cooks which gives it a school-dinner feeling. The waiting staff in the restaurant are all very pleasant but highly under-staffed - they serve drinks as well as clearing/setting tables so it's often a long wait to get a drink, why they can't just have self serve drinks is beyond me! Not all of the rooms have a balcony, so be sure to book one with one. There's one guy selling boat trips, but he isn't pushy like many other places we've been. The on site shop is very cheap and, again, the staff are not pushy at all, which makes a pleasant change from other places. The drinks on offer are quite basic, with many standard cocktails not being served. Food isn't served at all times, which wasn't an issue but good to know (no food 10-12, or after 9pm). While we were there, there was a tennis tournament taking place (which happens a lot), so part of the restaurant was reserved for them and they took up a lot of the lobby bar area and pool table.
Overall, we had a good week, but we won't be returning as there are a few too many little issues, the main one being the lack of seating for an evening if you don't want to be subjected to the karaoke night, 'circus' or silent disco.

Also, despite the transfer time being stated as an hour on the TUI website, it took an hour and 45 minutes to get here, there was no traffic at all so no excuse for the difference.
