Concept intéressant mais mérite un coup de neuf
Pros:

Hôtel qui vaut vraiment le coup d’oeil, concept super intéressant avec un très beau design, vue incroyable sur la ville de Nefta et sa palmeraie. Très bonne nourriture ! Personnel très agréable !

Cons:

L’hôtel mériterait un rafraîchissement. On dirait que ses équipements sont laissés tels que depuis sa construction en 2011 environ. Par exemple, des matelas et assises extérieures percés, parasols arrachés et pointes de métal qui dépassent sur la terrasse dangereuses, hammam vétuste avec peinture très écaillée. La propreté laissait également à désirer dans les chambres (évier bouché, matelas recouverts de sable). La piscine est agréable et certes naturelle, mais mériterait un gros coup de nettoyage, d’autant que de nombreux pigeons viennent si abrever et laissent de nombreuses fientes et des plumes. Les cartes touristiques ne sont pas à jour non plus.

Expérience cool et design
Pros:

Le design et l’architecture sont incroyables. La qualité des repas servis est vraiment exceptionnelles. Le personnel est très sympa et je conseille aussi de passer par eux pour toutes les activités, excursions etc car c’est très compétitif

Cons:

Pas très tentés par la piscine qui nous a semblé un peu sale. Globalement la propreté générale et l’entretien est un peu à revoir. On sent que le temps fait son œuvre et que l’hôtel mériterait un petit coup de neuf car il se dégrade petit à petit. Le mobilier est très chouette esthétiquement mais cela manque beaucoup de confort (canapés extérieurs, chambres, chaises terrasse etc..).

Fantastische Lage über der Oase mit Blick über die Corbeille und auf den Sonnenuntergang vom Zimmer aus. Der warme Thermalpool war schön. Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr hilfsbereit und haben alle Bitten erfüllt.

So much potential and great for instagram but missing too many basics to justify the price
Pros:

So many good things:
Lovely staff - i cannot fault any of them
Excellent breakfast and dinner, honestly a feast - thank you
Incredible views over the palms
Architecture extremely impressive - felt like staying in a piece of art
Suite was v cool and huge
Best massages of our lives, genuinely!

I feel like it would be an exceptional venue for a yoga retreat which I know they run

Sooo many good things which is why the downsides are so frustrating

Cons:

1 While impressive architectural, it felt like it had been designed to look cool but was missing some basics eg little shade over the pool areas, the sofas were all super uncomfortable material, the chairs outside our room collapsed to sit on and only had a view of a wall, plug sockets and light switches out of reach of bed, overflowing shower, massive uncomfortable branded cushions on the beds instead of normal pillows etc. The architect seemed more focussed on being photograph-able and less on being usable.

2 Pool was out of use as they were refilling it with boiling hot water - this was one of the main reasons we booked this hotel so was v frustrating and it wasnt communicated until we asked why it was half full and too hot to touch. We were the only guests there so maybe that was why they chose then but was a huge shame

3 We needed some communication beforehand or on arrival to tell us about what was on offer eg how to use the hammam (we never worked it out and everything looked dingy and out of use, again another reason we booked this hotel), how to book massages (this we did get on asking at least), about the spaces available etc

4 The main reason I didnt rate this higher was that it felt like a European hotel plonked on the edge of a Tunisian town with no engagement with the town. I've stayed in other eco resorts in the Middle East where they were super careful about how it benefitted the area eg by having really clearly advertised walking tours by locals, a programme of activities to choose from in advance like cooking classes, information about the town, etc. This felt like a castle closed to its actual surroundings (which I'm sure many people like about this place... but not for us)

Unless some of the basics were tweaked (I dont think it would take much for the owners), I'd instead recommend to choose a local-owned dar or spend an extra night somewhere fancy but less pretentious like Dar Natascha in Tozeur

Pros:

Die Anlage ist etwas Besonderes. Ein toller Ausblick auf Nefta, Thermal-Pool am Dach, viele einladende Sitz- und Liegemöglichkeiten, eine Sunset-Bar und sehr höfliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Kurz nach unserer Ankunft wurde auf Wunsch ein Geländewagen mit Fahrer organisiert, der uns noch vor Sonnenuntergang zum Star Wars Drehort von Lars Homestead gebracht hat. Für ein bis zwei Nächte absolut empfehlenswert (sonst zu teuer).

Cons:

Das Bett hat laut geknarrt und es war eine Doppelmatratze, wodurch man sich gegenseitig immer wieder aufgeweckt hat.
Da die Dusche im Zimmer keine Tür hat, war es nach dem Duschen sehr kalt und es hat in der Nacht unangenehm aus dem Abfluss gerochen (im Zimmer).

Pros:

Das Design, die Lage, die Ruhe, der Ausblick!

Cons:

Die Zimmer riechen nach Feuchtigkeit. Das Hotel bräuchte einen neuen Anstrich und etwas mehr Ablagefläche in den Zimmern. Sonst toll!
