Horrible experience at all. Bad service, filthy interiers, food was still same old song for all 16 days. Stray dogs on the beaches, stray cats in the dinning room. Beach was also filthy. 5 elevators in the hotel, only one was functional, but just only for 5 days. Half of people, we met had terrible diarrhea.
Very poor bar choice (cola, sprite, beer in can, warm watter - that's all)
I would not recommend at all. Last time in Tunisia after this vacation.

Nightmare

the hotel leaves much to be desired, but the attractions, service and animators do a great job.  You can spend your free time at the hotel with nice animators. Aqua aerobics and evening dancing are a lot of fun. 

Great time 

The hotel has potential but is underutilized. Dirty tables, poor food, the canteen is always missing something. You have to wait for plates, cutlery, stand in line for drinks that are still served in plastic cups 😯😯😯 The water in the pool is dirty, the hotel has an unpleasant smell. Not enough tables outside. Internet very weak and only at the reception. The gym does not encourage you to use it. Nice view from the window. Great animators that I really miss. Always smiling and positive. You can see that the right people in the right place. And it is them I thank for this holiday ❤️ the heart grows when I look at you. I wish you guys all the best! Jo Jo Joanna 💪🧘 ♀️🤽💃

I recommend this hotel.People in this hotel are really nice. The food wasn't much but there was something for everyone. Beach cleaned daily. The young animators and dj were the best.🥰 The worst thing about this hotel was Sam their boss. He treats these young people like garbage. He wanted my phone number, he said he wanted to go with me to Poland or the Netherlands. I refused him. After that, he banned the animators from talking to me because he was jealous. He fired them for talking to me and my family!!!! I left a tip at the bar in my room in the reveption and also wanted to give money to the animators. I gave money to one young animator he was fired (he didn't want to take it) and I put it in his bag. Sam came up, took the money from him and gave it back to me and he shouting at him and throw him outside!!! It was my decision my money!!! I want to give him money!!!! Sam is a very bad person uses mobbing to young nice guys!!! This is not normal.

Good holiday

There was good care all week. Maybe WiFi have to be more better. Breakfast good, but pancakeks missing :) hotel is not good condition, swiming pool need reconstruction,  but enough. I recomanded this hotel for modest guests.  

Just visited the Alkantara Thalassa (now known as Bravo Djerba) with my partner and our 3 girls aged 7,6,6. Must admit after reading some of the old reviews we were nervous about booking and were prepared to pay for a different hotel if the bravo djerba turned out bad. 

We were pleasantly suprised when we arrived at how clean and smart the hotel looked both inside and outside. The rooms are very very spacious (especially ours room 3233) and very clean and tidy. The food is the best we have had on any of our 5 trips to Tunisia and Egypt. Always a massive selection of fresh food, fruit, salads and Italian food. There is a snack bar open all day serving cakes and fresh pizza. There is also a massive selection of drinks both alcoholic and non alcholic. Local beers, full cocktail list, local spirits, squash, fresh fruit juice, fizzy drinks and water. 

The animation team do a fantastic job with the adults and the children. They start at 10am on a morning until 10pm on a night with various activities and entertainment.

The hotels location is right on the beach in the middle of nowhere. it is 4 dinars (£1.50) from Midoun town centre and 12 dinars (£4.50) from houm souk town centre. Both these towns have big markets, lot of shops and places to eat and drink. 

All in all we had a fantastic holiday and will definately visit again if we get a similar price as this year (only paid £750 for 2 adults and 3 children all inclusive).

This i believe is the only review for the hotel. I have had 5 people message me on facebook about the hotel as i follow the hotel on facebook and people have noticed this. All 5 people that have messaged me have booked to visit this month. Dont hessitate to message me on facebook if you want more info.

(Bravo Djerba) Very Clean, well mannered staff, good choice of food and drink,

Please do not stay in this hotel from hell. I was told it was 5 stars but I wouldn´t give it one. It is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in.The air-conditioning did not work, there was no hot water, the bedroom (especially the bedcover) and bathroom were dirty. There was no wifi in the room, only in reception, I was told. When I went to dinner, the table cloths were dirty and the food was cold. When I went to see what was for desert, I saw a cockroach crawling around the food. I looked around for someone to tell but there was no-one. I walked out. During the night I was awoken by extremely loud clanging noises as if coming from metal pipes. Luckily, I was only staying for one night, I could not wait to get out of the place.

A cockroach in the food

Having left Carribean World after a sleepless night (cast mattress in the concrete!), I opted for Alkantara Thalassa which had left a very good impression in 2010, but that turned into a nightmare * apparently since VINCCI has pulled-out from it... Indeed, doubt began to settle when check-in the receptionist asks me to set all of the week! what I refused... The doubt is reinforced during dinner: Buffet consisting of chicken and breaded cutlet, a very limited selection of salads and vegetables, melon and watermelon as dessert...In short, a buffet of a rare mediocrity in choice, quality and presentation! Breakfast the next day: same standard: omelette (not served), very cheap cheese, yoghurt liquid only, not fresh bread and croissants... cutlery (FAT... poorly washed) to Sin yourself in a space on a table... During the week we have been three times at the restaurant. otherwise we ate outdoors: excellent meals (fish and fresh shellfish), despite the reservation in half board. 
Turn to the room: good orientation with nice view on swimming pool and sea, but the downside (and size!): me and my daughter (nearby room) have bathed in sweat due to a A/C failure! 
Bathroom: lack of Kleenex, towels provided upon claim! 
3G available only at the level of the reception! 
Common toilets in very bad condition, 
Bottled beer often served warm, very limited selection of drinks, bar menu offering a large selection mostly non-available! 
Conclusion: Hotel to downgrade or close in emergency for renovation, Director incompetent to manage an equally disastrous situation assuming that he is aware of it... 
I hope that my comments/thoughts will be read in time to save some holiday/budgets of the scam!

Scam ***** - Hotel pseudo **

Hotel is nice and "almost" clean, rooms clean, but little tired. Air Con in the rooms ok. Generally accommodation is pleasant and nice. 

The food is terrible, it is 1 or 2 stars max. The restaurants are not clean, tables dirty, drinks empty ...



Maybe 3 stars max 3 plus :)

This is a tricky hotel to assess and really work out whether it is good value for money. We booked knowing it was a "5 star" hotel, but for 500 euro each for a week incl flights, we knew that something would have to give. I have to say the clientele certainly don't help by comparing star ratings against European standards. What you are left with is a simple 3 or 4 star hotel that just works.

Our first evening, celebrating French National Day, was more like watching an army of hungry peasants feast on their first meal for 6 months. I felt somewhat ashamed to watch them devour food at an incredible rate, leaving mere scraps within 30 mins. And then I overhear some people complain that the food was no good - strange mix of feelings. 

Accommodation on the whole was good, a bit tired in places (eg, toilet seat a bit wobbly, the air con not super cold), but it was clean and attended to daily. I guess we were lucky to get a sea view, but then we only tended to be in the room to sleep. (I'm still at a loss when some people complain about facing the wrong way, the TV doesn't work and so on - surely you're not staying in your room all day??)

Food in general was somewhat tainted (IMHO) by the general attitude that it must be international standard food. The Tunisians take that to mean meat, pasta, pizza, salads etc. That was certainly where most of the "mob" would congregate, but at the expense of some excellent local dishes - you must try these, the flavours are amazing. And for breakfasts you can request a fresh omelette, crepes etc. All good food and no tummy troubles that others will no-doubt have complained about. The bar staff were a little robot-like, but I was happy with their service when I considered the effects of Ramadan and a 17-hour shift! The choice of drinks may be limited, but it's all inclusive and more than sufficient.

The pool is a real plus for the hotel and allows those that are interested to do aqua-gym and water polo during the day. The entertainment staff were a little easy going (infers lazy, more interested in chatting up the ladies) and not as well organised as a Maxi-Club. It left the evening entertainment a bit dull and not as professional as others, but then it isn't obligatory to watch. Some may get a room close to the entertainment area, which will be noisy to 11pm, but otherwise no complaints about "late nights". Word of caution - you'll have to put up with music playing most of the day from the hotel DJ and he couldn't mix to save his life.

Finally, the beach. There is plenty of space and free seating/parasols. The only downside is some seaweed/algae that grows close to the edge because the water is so hot and shallow. They are working on the problem and do have a pontoon that will take you out to cleaner water and a guy that is scraping the beach to keep it clean. Just don't expect golden sands....
