Medina Solaria and Thalasso

The food was very average. Rooms not very clean and the matress not firm.

Excellent

I booked this holiday nearly a year ago.... we wanted somewhere different, not a common brit holiday destination.... the closer it got, the more I worried though.... almost paid extra to change destination and go somewhere more well known.... I am so, so pleased I didn't! What a lovely hotel and area. We arrived at night.... about 8.30pm... went to check in, but immediately we were given our all inclusive bands, luggage stored safely and told to go and get dinner, and check in after (as dinner service stopped at 9pm).... we were shown to a table, everyone was so pleasant, greeting us. The hotel itself is clean and spacious, with good facilities (lovely outdoor pool, indoor pool and spa area, tennis court, private area of beach, 24 hour bar inside serving alcohol, non alcoholic, tea, coffee, bottled water etc. Bars also poolside and at the beach. Excursions can be booked at the hotel. All well run and reasonably priced. The quad biking was great fun! We were out from 8am, and arrived back to the hotel around midday. €80 each. There is a shop inside the hotel run by a lovely man, Bilel . Nothing is too much trouble and there is no pressure to buy anything. He's just happy to chat! Same can be said for the hotel photographer, Na'eem (sorry if not spelt correctly)! Chatted to us daily, always asked how we slept, if we had a good day etc. We ended our stay asking for a photo shoot with him, around the hotel, and on the beach.... 150 digital images, and all of them are beautiful! Wasn't expensive either. The entertainment team are all lovely too, and not pushy. May ask if you want to do an activity (archery, darts, aqua aerobics etc) but take no for an answer and move on.... some will sit and just chat, if youre happy for them to (they do ask first). A special thank you to Marcelo who was a pleasure to meet! I wish him the best for his studies! I had a lovely massage and facial in the spa (cost be £60 for both!). The restaurant and bar staff are great... very attentive.... and not just because of tips... we did tip, but after we had great service, the service did get even better after we tipped (Omar reserved us a table and brought drinks to the table etc) but the service of everyone was exemplary.... every person we came into contact with, wanted to ensure we were happy and having a good time. The food was the best I've experienced from an all inclusive.... even had fillet steak on Saturday night! The location of the hotel is great too... pay a little extra for a sea view - its definitely worth it! Outside the hotel there are shops along the sea front, and around the back... including Yasmine Hammamet Medina. Yes, a lot of the shop workers approach to ask you to look in their shop, but you just say "no thank you" and keep walking. All in all, we will definitely book to go back to Medina Solaria and Thalasso hotel. Its been a lovely stay, and just what we needed.

Stayed here from 19th -24 th September. Great start to visit when we were given upgrade to suite at room 2015 with sea view …..room was superb , huge with jacuzzi , two bathrooms and was kept spotlessly clean. Reception staff were first class and attentive. We loved the food here at every meal with plenty of variety and the waiting service was brilliant, our favourite waiter was Chaouka who looked after us magnificently every visit and we never waited for anything. Look out for him as you won’t be disappointed, lovely guy with gentle sense of humour. Chefs at all food stations and food never runs out. Coffee in machines is very good. Drink service at bars was super quick and waiters serving drinks at night was excellent. Entertainment was ok but not my cup of tea but usual offerings by a very busy and enthusiastic team . I prefer the bought in type of acts but no big deal. All in all a very enjoyable stay at a very good hotel.
