Samira Club Spa & Aqua Park

We had a great family holiday and really enjoyed our stay. The bungalows were comfortable, spacious, and perfectly suitable for a family with children. The air conditioning was reliable, which made a big difference during the hot days. The housekeeping team did an excellent job every day, and the cleaners were always smiling and very friendly. The food offered a good variety, and everyone could find something they liked. The restaurant manager kept everything running smoothly most of the time, and the staff at all the bars were outstanding—always welcoming, attentive, and happy to help. There were occasionally some persistent henna tattoo sellers at the hotel, but all the other vendors were polite and immediately respected a simple "no," which we really appreciated. Our only real disappointment was the spa. We were mainly interested in high-quality massages, but the spa manager focused on selling us the most expensive package instead of listening to what we actually wanted. The entertainment team deserves special recognition. They were incredibly energetic, friendly, and genuinely cared about the guests. Their activities were varied and fun, and they made both children and adults feel welcome. They truly exceeded our expectations and added a lot to our holiday. One thing that could be improved is the extra charge for the in-room safe and refrigerator. These are basic amenities that most guests would expect to be included in the room rate rather than charged as optional extras. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would definitely recommend this resort to families looking for a relaxing holiday with great service and an amazing entertainment team.

We travelled with TUI and, to be fair, the flights and transfers were excellent. Everything was well organised, and there were representatives waiting at the airport to direct us to our transfer bus. We had no issues with the journey. On arrival at the hotel, however, it quickly became apparent that almost every interaction with staff seemed to involve an expectation of a tip. From the bus drivers to the musicians playing to welcome guests, hands were held out for money before we’d even checked in. It’s understandable that porters expect tips for carrying luggage, but the constant requests throughout the holiday became quite tiring. We stayed in room D401. The room was very basic and could really do with refurbishment. The shower curtain looked old, several tiles needed replacing, and the grout throughout the bathroom could do with a thorough refresh. The bedding was also very basic. On the positive side, the air conditioning worked perfectly throughout our stay, and although we hardly used it, the television also worked without any issues. The housekeeping staff started very early, usually around 8:00 am, which often meant being woken up if you wanted a lie-in. Once we explained that we didn’t need the room cleaning every day, they were happy just to provide fresh towels and toilet paper whenever we asked. The swimming pool is extremely busy, particularly when the beach is closed because of rough seas or strong winds. When that happens, everyone heads to the pool, and finding a sunbed becomes almost impossible. The sunbed situation was probably one of the most frustrating parts of the holiday. We placed our towels on three sunbeds before going for breakfast, returning less than 30 minutes later to find two of our towels had disappeared and other guests sitting on our beds. When we spoke to the lifeguard, we were told that unattended towels are removed after 30 minutes. However, the guests using our beds apologised and explained that they had paid the lifeguard to find them sunbeds and had watched him remove our towels before giving them our places. Despite raising this with the lifeguard, we were simply told there was nothing that could be done because no other sunbeds were available. This left a very poor impression and didn’t feel like fair management of the pool area. Although the hotel was fully booked, it also welcomed local day visitors. At busy times this significantly increased the number of people using the facilities, particularly the pool and restaurant. Some large family groups were friendly, but on several occasions we experienced queue-jumping and behaviour that we felt was inconsiderate towards other guests, which unfortunately affected the atmosphere. The entertainment team is huge, probably one of the largest we’ve seen at a holiday resort. Throughout the day there is always something going on, including volleyball, archery, darts, boccia, yoga and other activities. The team isn’t pushy about getting people involved, and our two teenage boys thoroughly enjoyed joining in with many of the activities. One member of the entertainment team, Diego, deserves a special mention. He came across as genuine, friendly and respectful, and hopefully one day he’ll fulfil his ambition of becoming a professional goalkeeper because he certainly made a positive impression. Unfortunately, we were less impressed by some of the behaviour we observed from other members of the entertainment team. There appeared to be a strong focus on approaching young female guests, and from conversations we had during our stay, it often seemed that once an entertainer became interested in someone, they continued pursuing them unless they were firmly turned down. We also witnessed disagreements and drama between members of the entertainment team, which wasn’t particularly professional and was noticeable to guests. The evening entertainment was disappointing. There didn’t seem to be a clear programme, and it often felt as though events were decided on the night. The fire show was by far the highlight of the holiday and was excellent. Unfortunately, the karaoke night was poor, and the comedy night felt unplanned and lacked any real structure. For the middle of the summer season, we expected a much stronger evening entertainment programme. On many evenings we simply went back to our room. One thing that became increasingly frustrating was the number of people trying to sell additional services. It’s understandable to be approached while walking through reception or the main pathways for spa treatments, jet skis, excursions, fruit, nuts, hair braiding or henna tattoos. However, once you’re relaxing on your sunbed by the pool, these sales approaches continue throughout the day. Even after politely declining, many of the sellers repeatedly returned. Guests should be able to relax without constant interruptions while using the pool area. The all-inclusive drinks were another disappointment. The local spirits bore little resemblance to vodka or rum and were among the worst we’ve experienced at an all-inclusive resort. The beer was perfectly drinkable, but if you wanted branded spirits you had to pay extra. Considering you’ve already paid for an all-inclusive holiday, this was disappointing. The restaurant was incredibly busy at almost every meal. It often felt more like a cattle market than a relaxing dining experience. The staff worked hard, but tables couldn’t be cleared quickly enough because of the sheer number of guests. The food itself was perfectly acceptable, with enough choice for most people, although it became repetitive after a few days. The snack bar also caused some confusion. As TUI guests we were entitled to additional snack options, but this wasn’t explained clearly on arrival. When we ordered them, staff often responded by saying the wait would be an hour, which gave the impression they were trying to discourage guests from using the service. Overall, this hotel has the foundations to be much better than it currently is. The beachfront location is lovely, the daytime entertainment is varied, and the TUI flights and transfers were faultless. However, the hotel appears to be operating at full capacity while also welcoming day visitors, making almost every area feel overcrowded. The rooms need updating, the evening entertainment requires significant improvement, the all-inclusive drinks are poor, and the constant expectation of tips and persistent selling around the pool take away from what should be a relaxing holiday. Would we return? Probably not. We still made some lovely family memories, but for the money there are better all-inclusive hotels that offer a more relaxing experience.

Went for a week at the end of june, little chalets are basic but no issues for us we had lovely air con, cleaner came daily although very early for us. Ali and the bar lads looked after us and the whole animation team are decent Diego is a top lad although he does cheat at darts !!!!. Evening entertainment a bit odd at times but listen we paid £400 each all inclusive for a week with the yellow top band through easyjet and have no complaints at all. Top tip grease the lads at the pool 10 dinar every few days they will sort sunbeds for you and bring u drinks all day. Food at buffet was a bit naff at breakfast but didnt bother us we had a few pastries then filled up at the snack bar at lunch. If you want 5 star don't do it but if your happy with decent hard working people giving you a good time then book away. Oh and get some nuts and fruit off mr ssstttrraawwwbbberrryyy who comes round the complex all day and night

Brilliant place would %100 recommend entertainment is perfect and the workers are like family I left today and wish I could get tickets to go back asap

Highly recommended for an unforgettable holiday! We had an absolutely amazing stay at this hotel. The entertainment program was intense and fantastic, perfectly tailored for both children and adults so nobody was ever bored. A huge shoutout to the bartenders, who were incredibly dedicated and did an outstanding job making delicious drinks. The food was also wonderful, offering a great variety of delicious options at every meal. A massive plus was the 24-hour snack bar, where anyone could grab a bite to eat at any time of the day or night. Furthermore, the cleaning staff worked incredibly hard, making sure our room was perfectly cleaned every single day. Do not hesitate to visit the Samira Club!

We had a great time in this hotel until the last day. we went to the pool at 07.00 and were lucky to get 2 sunbeds as they are all reserved by 06.00. My daughter and grandson 5 years old were in the childrens pool came back to the sun beds and our things were no longer there, she asked the couple next to us and they said they were a group of 10 from England and paid the lifegard (Yasin) that they could all sit together-the sunbeds are free. My daughter complained to his boss and we got 2 more beds- But that was at 09.20 and at 12.00 8 of the sunbeds were still not occupied. I know this is not the hotel policy but im sure Management turn a blind eye to this bribery. We had such a good time at the hotel wanted to book again for September but because of this incident we will be booking another Hotel

The hotel was very dated, the rooms were nothing like the photos, the first room we were given was like a cleaners cupboard trees overgrown and no sunlight, second room was infested with creepy crawlies and we moved again no fridges in the room which leaves you with no where to store a cold drink, the staff hardly spoke to us so where people are getting amazing from is beyond me. The food was ok ish but repeated all the time and the breakfast I can safely say is the worst all inclusive breakfasts I have had anywhere in the world. Omelette wqs the only thing worth having. Drinks machines were intermittent to the point at one stage there was not a working drinks machine for coke, lemonade mixers and soft drinks. Far to much of the hotel is non inclusive, red hot unairconditioned bar and an outside bar that you had to pay for to sit there even to watch the football. Entertainment ok at best, but on occasions terrible karaoke night!!! Who wants to listen to poor singing in foreign language regardless of your home tongue, plus points were Khalid in the restaurant and the guy at the beach bar. We would go back to Tunisia but not back to this hotel. We would have demanded money back if we had taken the grandkids no accommodation for kids at all. They wouldn't of eaten for a week. Where is the kids food? I also think some reviews on here are definately made up.

Crap worst holiday ever staff rude. Rooms beyond poor . Dont bother. Dont waste money.

We are here right now, I was very sceptical about coming after reading the reviews but to be honest, it's a lovely friendly place. The staff are lovely and always happy to help. The food is a hit or miss but there is something to eat either from the snack bar or the restaurant, my kids are really fussy but they managed to find something. You can get pasta and salad from the all inclusive area all day and pizza or if you want something from the extra place you can get crepes, toasted panini, chips. The rooms are basic but very tidy and lovely and cool from the air conditioning. The evening entertainment is good they get you involved and are just really Friendly. We are having best time and would definitely come back. You do get people coming up asking if you want boat rides, horse riding, quad biking and other things but once you say no they have left us alone.

this was such a good holiday, thank you to all of the entertainers making it really good!

We stayed for 2 weeks and had a lovely holiday as a family. The whole experience was made even better by the amazing staff who were all so hardworking, friendly, and welcoming. A special mention has to go to Sassou from the animation team. She was absolutely brilliant with us throughout our stay. She always made sure we were looked after, included us in activities, and made everyone feel welcome. Her kind nature and funny personality really made our holiday special. Moskito and Fly were also outstanding. Moskito brought so much fun and energy to the activities, while Fly made the evening shows look effortless and entertaining. The animation team really made our holiday memorable, and we would honestly come back just to see them again! The bar staff and waiters were fantastic — always friendly and helpful. The security team also made us feel very safe and comfortable, and they went out of their way to help us organise transport and make sure we felt looked after. The housekeeping team were lovely and added special touches, including making towel animals which was a lovely surprise and made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, we had a wonderful family holiday and would definitely return again next year. A big thank you to all the staff for making our stay so special!

Everything about this resort is fantastic! From the reservoir at reception, to the rooms, to the bar staff and more importantly the animation team ! Fantastic with all the guests and really make the effort so that you enjoy your stay! They all go above and beyond every single one of them ! Will definitely be coming back next year x Thank you for an amazing holiday !!!!!!!!

Recently stayed here with my husband for our anniversary. First time in Tunisia and we found it quite good. We stayed all inclusive for a week. The food was ok, my husband is a bit fussy but we were able to eat at every meal. The staff were lovely and accommodating. Our room was fine, a few ants at the bathroom sink on arrival, which was resolved with some bug spray from our lovely cleaner. We had clean towels daily, bed remade and bins emptied daily also. Barely any noise, really quiet compared to other holiday destinations. The Animations team were great, chatting and interacting with everyone. A special mention to Sassuo & Moskito who were lovely, spoke with us everyday throughout our stay, joked and laughed with us. They included everyone throughout the daily activities. The dance and song that they do was really catchy, made me and my husband smile, dance and sing along. We spent some time at the Spa which was really nice, the steam room, some nice herbal tea, the jacuzzi and lovely massage. Overall, we would return. It was a nice and relaxed time away from home. There was a lovely restaurant close by (roughly 5min walk) Aloha. Their steaks were amazing, highly recommend.

Just got back from two incredible weeks at the Samira Club and i honestly cant fault a single thing. From the unforgettable camel ride to the warm and welcoming reception team ,every part of the experience was exceptional. The restaurant staff were fantastic and the entertainment team were so friendly and brought such great energy every day .its clear that all the staff genuinely enjoys what they do and that really shines though in how they treat guests

The entertainment there was absolutely fantastic, the people who work there are very friendly. The entertainment was the best I have ever seen.

On arrival at this hotel we where showing to our room which is outside in rows of chalets the room was absolutely disgusting resembled a prison cell the food was disgusting same thing every single meal every day the all- inclusive drinks were very basic unless you wanted to pay for the better drinks which to me is not all-inclusive sitting in the bar area we seen several cockroaches running around whitch the cleaning staff seem to ignore the only thing keeping this hotel going is the animation team and one male member of staff with a light blue t-shirt on cant remember his name he was great when trying to relax you are constantly harassed by the men trying to sell activities there is also a man doing henna tattoos who just wouldn't leave us alone do not waste your money at this hotel

I'm here now, and I honestly don't know what some people are complaining about. All of the staff have gone out of their way to be kind to us, from the reception team to the bar and dining room staff. Everyone says hello to us with a smile. Although the rooms are basic, they are cleaned every day, towels changed and beds made up beautifully. I did complain about a dirty shower curtain, but a lovely lady took it away and washed it for us and it came back spotless. The Aircon is brilliant and we have our own little patio area outside our bungalow. The food is lovely, lots of health, fresh options, if you struggle to find something tasty to eat here then it's you who has the problem. 24 hour snacks and drinks. What's not to love? Lovely beer and nice wine, not sure about the spirits. Yes the pool is crowded and there is a shortage of beds, but you can always find a sunbed on the beach just a few steps away. I'm not much of a joiner-inner, but all of the animation staff are lovely and I've enjoyed watching all the shenanigans. If you want 5 star luxury then put your short arms into your deep pockets and pay for somewhere fancier, but for us and every single other person I have spoken to here, this place has exceeded our expectations and we are enjoying a lovely holiday.

My bestie and I are having an amazing day 2, the room is lovely and amazing air conditioning plus the room being cleaned every day. There was a slight issue with the shower curtain however the team sorted it straight away plus getting me another pillow, thank you. The food breakfast lunch and dinner very good amazing choice can’t fault it. My pal and I are a firm believer you visit a foreign country try their food. Great choice for kids too. The entertainment is bizarre and hilarious made me and my bestie giggle. The whole team are so friendly and genuine. You do get asked about excursions. It’s their job, just say no thank you. I love this this resort definitely would come back again some time in the future Having a brilliant time 😎😎❤️❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

I had a wonderful stay at Samira Club in Tunisia. The location is beautiful, with a lovely beach and relaxing atmosphere. The staff were friendly and welcoming. A special mention goes to the animation team, who were absolutely amazing throughout my stay. Their energy, enthusiasm, and friendliness made every day more fun, and they worked hard to keep guests entertained with great activities and shows. They truly helped make my holiday unforgettable. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable beach getaway.

Review JUNE 2026 Before arriving, I was a little worried after reading some very mixed reviews, but I can honestly say we were not disappointed at all. In fact, we had such a lovely holiday and are already thinking about coming back. Although this is a 3-star hotel, we would happily return. The main reason is the amazing animation team, who work incredibly hard and make everyone feel involved. Their energy is brilliant and spreads to all the guests. Fly, Moskito, Simo, Pablo, Sassou, JoJo, Kiko, Kaloucha, Rocky, Alex, Boss, and the rest of the team are absolutely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. They truly pour their hearts and souls into their work. They are fantastic with guests around the pool, encouraging everyone to join games, dance, and have fun. They speak to everyone, are always smiling, and make you feel so welcome. They are also hilarious! I swear some of them must be professional dancers because their performances are a pleasure to watch. They also have great acting and comedy skills. Without a doubt, this is the best animation team we have ever experienced, and I honestly believe they are the reason so many people return to this hotel. We definitely will. There is something for everyone, from young children to teenagers and adults, with activities running from morning until late at night. The rest of the staff are equally welcoming, polite, and professional. The kitchen staff prepare amazing food, the restaurant team make sure everyone is happy, the cleaning staff are polite and hardworking, the maintenance team are helpful and kind, and the reception, money exchange, bar staff, and lifeguards are all wonderful. It was a pleasure spending our holiday surrounded by such friendly people. The rooms themselves are basic. We have seen better, but we have also seen worse. They serve their purpose and are cleaned daily. The staff more than make up for any shortcomings in the rooms. We never saw any insects or had any issues. The hotel grounds are very clean, and we constantly saw staff working hard to keep everything spotless. The layout of the hotel is excellent. No matter which room you have, it is less than a 5 minute walk to the pool area and only about one minute to the beach. The pool, beach, and surrounding areas are all clean, and the bar staff quickly collect used cups and rubbish. The pool water was pleasantly warm, and the sea was lovely too. We also visited the hotel spa and had a wonderful experience. The staff were professional and made us feel very relaxed. Even our 3-year-old enjoyed a massage, which was such a lovely experience for the whole family. During our stay, we also booked several excursions, including the Pirate Ship trip, a visit to the Old Medina, and the two-day Sahara excursion. We would definitely recommend them. The Sahara trip was a little challenging with a small child because there was a lot of time spent on the bus and very early starts, but it was absolutely worth it. Experiencing the sunrise over the Sahara was unforgettable and one of the highlights of our holiday. Overall, despite some mixed reviews that made me slightly worried before arriving, we can honestly say we had a fantastic holiday. The incredible staff, great atmosphere, and variety of activities made our stay truly memorable. Thank you to everyone for making our holiday so enjoyable. We leave with wonderful memories and hope to return again in the future. We came as a family of six (4 adults and 2 children aged 3 and 11) in early June and have sadly just finished our holiday.

Amazing hotel definitely one of the best moskito helped us enjoy our stay massively top lad and so was everyone to to very good experience

The best experience ever ! The animation team (especially Pablo, Alex, Sassou, Jojo and the rest of the team) made our stay unforgettable ! I can only recommend this hotel for the best stay <3

The hotel is a low three star, the food is a lot to be desired and I like to try anything and everything. We were there for two weeks from the last week in may to the 6th June. When we arrived check in was great and our rooms were ready, the bell boys in the hotel are great, there was 10 of us 7 adults two of which have disabilities and 3 children. After booking in we were shown to our rooms which was small yet clean, the shower is tiny and I am not a big person. There were three adults in our room and there was enough storage space for three of us for a fortnight. After unpacking, we decided to go for a drink and a walk around the grounds to get our bearings. We were swamped by sales reps selling camel rides, quad biking, spa treatments etc. They don’t like to take no for an answer, the guy selling train rides to the medina I actually lost my temper with him by day 10(there is only so many times you can politely say no thanks). We did a spa treatment and really enjoyed the relaxing time after a long day travelling, that is one thing I would really recommend. The steam room and massage in the spa was so nice I actually fell asleep. The staff really make this hotel work, Mehrez will go out of his way to make your evening the best. He was waiting on us hand and foot, every time we needed a drink from the bar he was there. Now about the best part of this holiday … the entertainment team, what an absolute bunch of genuine nice youngsters that work hard and try their best to make your holiday as memorable and as fun as possible. Moskito, Fly, Rocky, JoJo, Sassou to mention a few and my son’s favourite which we nick named snoop dog as we couldn’t pronounce his name. These guys are worth their weight in gold to this hotel and made our holiday. The sunbed situation is the same as any other hotel, we found the beach the best for sunbeds, the aqua park is small but fun and the main pool area is where all the activities happen this is where you will find it hard to get a sunbed( the lifeguards will help you out if you are struggling). To sum up my stay, would I return? Yes but for no more than a week. Would I rate the food? Not at all, sugar in everything and no sugar free drinks on offer. Bar and entertainment? Brilliant staff and a good choice of drinks but no sugar free options.

I had a wonderful stay at the Samira Club. It's a great hotel, and my son and I felt very well taken care of. I can confirm the review from the person who wrote it; Kaloutcha also showed a strong interest in me and started a relationship with me. During that time, he increasingly talked about problems, like his phone screen breaking and needing money, or needing money for his apartment after the season ended. He also said he had nothing to eat and needed to buy internet. I provided him with financial support. I spoke with another employee who confirmed that I wasn't the only woman he'd been with and done the same things. When I came back for him, I gave him my old iPhone, and from then on, he used two phones with two different numbers. I agree that you have to be careful with Kaloutcha; he lies a lot.

With the holiday season getting close and if you choose to use this flea ridden cess pit please be aware of this man if you have children

My family and I stayed at this hotel in September 2025 together with my disabled brother, and we had an amazing time. A big part of that experience was thanks to the animation team. Their activities during the day and the evening shows created such a friendly atmosphere and there was always something fun happening. I would especially like to mention one animator in particular, Tyson. He spent so much time with my brother — playing water ball games, dancing together in the evenings, and simply giving him attention and conversation. It meant a lot to our family. My brother grew very fond of him, and it truly made our holiday extra special. We thanked him personally during our stay, but we also wanted to express our gratitude here on TripAdvisor. Because of this wonderful experience, we have already booked our holiday at Samira Club again for June 2026, and we are hoping to see the same animation team again 🙏

We honestly only had a very positive experience during our stay. After reading some of the recent negative reviews, I feel like I need to share our perspective because it does not reflect what we experienced at all. The animation team was friendly, respectful and worked hard to create a fun atmosphere. In particular Fly, Tayson, Kaloutcha and Mosquito were all great. They were always polite, enthusiastic and respectful towards guests. I especially want to mention Tayson, because he was very calm, professional and respectful during all interactions. The comments I’ve seen about him do not match our experience in any way. The hotel itself was also very enjoyable. We had a great stay and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. At the beach there was always plenty of space to relax and enjoy the sun, which we really appreciated. If I would mention one small point for improvement, it would be that the pool area could use a bit more space or seating during busy moments. Other than that, we had a lovely stay and would definitely come back.
