Houda Golf Beach & Aquapark 

We have just returned from houda golf as a family of five, 2 adults and 3 children aged 11,8,5. Upon arrival, we were able to upgrade our room for a small fee, and we had a fantastic room. Interconnecting family room, with pool and beach views, absolutely beautiful. Pools are great and clean, the main pool is divided for babies and adults, with an extra children's pool. The waterslide pools are open 10-12 and 3-5pm and were lots of fun for all, including a small slide for young children. For the first 2 days we had full access to the pool bar, however after this, due to staff shortages/end of season, this bar was closed and we had to go to the lobby bar for drinks in the day. Which is a bit of a walk from the other side! (This is the only complaint we have about the whole hotel). By the pool bar there are lovely paninis and pizzas available 12-5pm, as well as a great lunchtime restaurant selection of chicken, rice,chips,beef, pancakes etc. Waiters and chefs in the main restaurant are fabulous, friendly and will do anything to help, morning or night. Breakfast and evening meals are similar to any all inclusive with generic eggs, sausages pancakes, and for dinner chicken rice chips, and a variety of Tunisian dishes which even my daughter ate! There are 2 a la carte evening restaurants but we did not use these. In our third day we wanted to venture to the town monastir for shopping. We asked reception for the best way to do this. Getting a taxi is double the cost as the cars only seat 4 passengers. So we would need 2. The wonderful receptionist Amna helped us making sure we could travel safely and for an affordable price. We took the minibus to the town and back for a fraction of the price. Thankyou! She looked after us for our whole stay with any questions or queries that we had, with no problems at all. Whilst there, we heard of many other guests praising her for her hard work, commitment and loyalty to the hotel. She is an asset to the team at houda golf!! Always going above and beyond for the guests and ensuring they have the best stay at the hotel. Big praise to lobby barman hassan "why not" who ensured every single day was a highlight for my children especially my son, with his silly dances! The hotel animation are great (sorry only remember the name of zazu) and work incredibly hard, without a single day off in the entire week they were there. They made extra effort with my children during the daytimes (archery, darts) and evenings, to include minidisco and regular evening shows/karaoke. Our last day we had a fantastic a la carte lunch including steak and chips in the poolside restaurant and the food and staff were fantastic! We had a fabulous time here and the weather was wonderful for an October half term holiday (29 degrees most days) and we look forward to returning to tunisia, our new favourite holiday destination. Thankyou team houda golf and we hope to be back next year!
