Skanes, Houda Golf & Beach Club

Just got back from the houda golf hotel yesterday, wasnt impressed on how long we had to wait till we got into our rooms, over 5 bloody hours, the dinner hall was rubbish, not alot of selection for my young children, unless they had pasta or chips for 2 weeks, flies bloody paradise,our bed sheets got changed once in 2 weeks, the tunis holiday makers were sods,our waiter ali was very rude too, had to take my daughter to the doctors today because she is so ill, the only good thing about that hotel was the annimation team, i will never go back to that hotel, the ground floor has bed bugs, DONT GO THERE !!!!!!

Houda Golf and Beach Hotel. September 2012

If you require a holiday with reasonable service, reasonable food and the opportunity to get some sleep at night, DO NOT book in to this hotel.

This is a cheap hotel trying to make a profit from the all inclusive market by cutting corners at every opportunity. Please be aware, that, at this hotel “in inclusive” includes swarms of flies and food poisoning.

Any one booking into this hotel does so at their own risk.

Thomas Cook should be ashamed for classifying this hotel as a three star hotel. There are many good hotels in Tunisia this is not one of them.

Went to the Houda Hotel last year in early August and was not dissapointed. The entrance to the hotel is something out of a movie!

Came with 3 other people.

The all inclusive deal is very good, food is available most of the time, all the junk you can eat. The food aint too bad if your expectations arent sky high. Entertainment was GREAT. They did a wicked Micheal Jackson tribute and added loads of backdrops and smoke to fit the dances.

The hotel room was basic but clean and conditioned. Anyone that complains about it being basic is out of order because you get what you pay for and this is a 3 star hotel.

The scenery is beautiful outlooking from the hotel window.

HAD A TEMENDOUS TIME ON THE GO KARTS! I really recommend the go kart session. You can either ride alone or with someone else. You get a good hour or so riding through this barren deserty land following the guide. You dont get hot because of the wind. You do get sandy but they give you helmets and nose and mouth masks, well worth the money.

The staff are freindly and couldnt do enough for you. There are two pools, one at the entrance of the hotel and one inside the resort. The one inside the resort is huge! Make sure you get your towel outthere early though. The one at the entrance has 4 water slides which are great fun!

The toilets could have been cleaner and there should have been more of them because everyone seemed to need them and there was a queue. Many people complained of upset stomachs which is probably why they needed to toilet allthe time. They reps do advise you too drink plenty of water but instead people get bad tummies because they gauge on food all day, sunbathe too much and dont drink enough, dont forget the temperature is around 35 degrees in august so your bound to get sick if your not watered up.

Id definatly recommened this hotel to people with big families. Teens like me would love it!

just got back from a weeks stay with my family 8 of us including my 2 year old grandaughter,there are no lifts we were on the 4th floor many families having to carry puschairs up and down numerous flights of stairs.

the food was aimed at the continental clients not at the british and although it was not the hight of the season we had to que for everything the beach was dirty .

the entertainment staff were great and the pools and slides were excellent all in all we will not be going back

We visit Tunisia yearly, sometimes twice a year, we always stay in The Abou Sofiane in Port el Kantaoui, after our stay this year and during the Volcano issue we were transferred by Thomas Cook, to The Houda Beach in Skanes for one week.

Oh My God, what an awful place. To be fair the grounds are great, the gardens colourful and the pool area really fab! But the rooms were awful, dirty, smelly...just awful! The toilet leaked, the shower curtain had totally lost its 'water-proof quality' so the bathroom floor was soaked all the time from both!

The room stank of foist, badly, and the air-con just rattled which didn't fill us with confidence!

The food was diabolical! The staff were totally miserable and never cracked a smile.

The only good thing about this hotel was the alcohol! We needed this to sleep in the beds!

If you wan't to venture out the hotel there's nothing about, you'll have to get a taxi to have a night out. The whole place is pretty dire, not what Tunisia actually is!

We've read reviews about this hotel and can honestly say that all the bad one's are true. We have no idea how much it costs to stay here but in our opinion this is quite literally The Butlins of Tunisia.

My partner and I have just returned from The Houda Beach Hotel in Skanes after an extended stay due to the Volcano stuff! The Hotel was clean and tidy as were the rooms. The Staff were great and the Animation team were fab (never forget seeing Willy and Mido dressed as Batman and Robin riding a mule around the lovely ground!). These boys and girls worked so hard to keep everyone amused and the kids seemed to loved them.

The only down side was the food which seemed fine when we fristed arrived but after a few days became a little boring but all in all we had a great time and would go back again in the future....after all a holiday is what YOU make it

Just returned from Houda Golf & Beach Club after spending 14 nights there.Hotel looks fabulous from outside.Some of the rooms are ok ours was very basic.No view,corridors were very narrow and dark at night. The food was terrible as was the resturant, it was stuffy and the heat was unbearable at all times.The drinks were always warm.We were bitten and had upset stomachs for 5 days.However the italian resturant was beautiful and so was he pizza resturant.Needless to say we will not be returning to this hotel or recommending it to anyone.

we had a nice time at Houda Golf & Beach Club. staff were good room was OK when we were asked to move had a bad stomach 4 a week good job i went 4 to do not no what it was my husband and son were OK the animation team were great the best i have seen they keep ed you entertained all day and night and the kids club as well but my son did not go he is 11 years old the food was fine always something to have you have a snack bar all day as well the rep was great she sorted out anything she could she was there every day exsept sat think i would go back but in a few years it is a 3 star so do not expected a 4 or 5 not good for couples or older pepole it is for familys enjoy

i have never queued so much in my life...queue to eat queue to drink queue to go to toilet...i was really dissapointed the food was awful because of queues it was always cold when you sat down, if there was anything in the dishes it was the same old dross everyday but more often than not the hotplate was empty and we had to wait for more food to be brought out, the hotel staff were miserable and the rooms were at best basic, the smell from our bathroom permeated the whole room, if it wasn't for the Skanes, Houda Golf & Beach Club animation team and the swimming pools we'd have come home after 2 days

Houda Golf & Beach Club was fantastic i wnr wwiht 11 people and we dident want to come home everything was gd no bad things at all xx
