Thalassa Mahdia

Thalassa Mahdia... Staff make a difference

+ Myself and a few friends stayed here recently. It's not the best quality but not the worst either... It's clean and good condition, probably a 3 star by European Standards. What did make my holiday though was the staff... Nihel in particular on reception, welcomed us immediately with a big smile 😊 She took the time to check if we were okay everytime she saw us, and always chatted for a few moments. I can't emphasise how much good staff make the difference when I go on holiday, Nihel is an asset to this hotel

Food was ok, bit cold but edible.

Very good hotel

+ It's a really beautiful hotel and I'm very glad I came here. Everyone who works there—phone, TV, everything—is great, and the animation team is also very good.

Thalasa Mahdia

+ You know what really angers me? They've watered down all the alcohol in the bar with water. It doesn’t matter whether it’s on the all-inclusive menu or if you pay extra. Yes, the hotel is at most three stars. It's old and in need of refurbishment. The food was average, plain, and boring. Okay, we didn't pay a fortune, and many things can be forgiven and overlooked. But seriously, managers??? This is outright scamming and criminal to dilute alcohol. You scammed your customers right in front of everyone. Nothing wrong with the rest of the staff, all were nice and polite. It was my second and final trip to this country. No respect. At all.

Avoid

+ Awful, unless you're French, forget it !! Food abysmal warm, rarely hot. So bland, rejigged next day ie, meatballs, next day in a bland sauce, still inedible. Thank God for fries and rolls. Staff are OK, rooms and cleaners excellent apart from a 3ft drop stepping out of a slimline bath . Drinks are so chemical tasting when you get the correct one. Ask for vodka coke, get brandy and Fanta! They were working on steps to beack, so leaving a 5ft drop, so inaccessible. Plus a 2.5 hr transfer , never to go again, we knew mahdia was quiet but had 2 small grocery shops, 2 clothes shops, 1 money exchange and 2 chemists, few places to eat via taxi, more coffee lounges than eateries. You've been warned !

So, so…..

+ If you’re after a cheap but not cheerful holiday, Thalassa Mahdia is the place to go. Not the place to be during Ramadan as it is very bare. Full of money leaches in and out of the hotel. Food is scarce, drinks are watered down immensely and if you’re not a big tipper then expect dirty looks and rude remarks. Rooms are basic. Only French TV. Pool is freezing but the indoor pool is nice. The atmosphere is again, full of French so as a British couple we was made to feel like outcasts. The entertainment team and the excursion man is full of BS! Very rude and / or either over exaggerated. If you want excursions then venture out and find local ones as it’s cheaper! However there was only one or two members of staff that actually made an effort and try to give you a good “service” but the other members of staff will literally mock you and taunt you to your face thinking you don’t realise it. (See picture below; becarful of Robbie rotten… if you know you know) The location is mediocre, nothing around. Best to stay in Sousse if you want markets and night life. Very quiet hotel apart from French karaoke and French bingo… I’m not usually a Debby Downer and we tried our best to make a have a nice time despite it all so if you’re just after a quick escape from reality then it’s ok but just beware. Was also warned about bed bugs and scammers on the beach. All in all; BEWARE. :)
