The Orangers Beach Resort and Bungalows

My 9th visit to this wonderful hotel staff are amazing and can't do enough for you the food is ok there is always something. Fed up with people moaning about the food choices but it's always been the same and these people are returning visitors so why do they keep returning. We love the vibe of the place And it's such good value for money we are returning for our 10th time in weeks time can't wait

The hotel was something different. I love it there. The Animateurs did such an amazing job and also the bar was amazing. A special thanks to my new friend I met there matteo🫶🏻

This is my first time here it's an incredible holiday i met a lot of friends the hotel was clean i had a room with a good view and it was clean and the food was good the staff amazing the entertainement team was brilliant especially gigi she was amazing girl such lovely beautiful girl and special thanks to mido ,simo,tibou, zouba,JJ the barmen was amazing and definitely return back.

This was our 7th or 8th visit to The Orangers beach resort & bungalows hotel. We found some things were not quite as good as previous years and noticed a slight decline over the last couple of years. Having said this, for the price we paid we were not expecting the Hilton or Buckingham Palace. On arrival we were greeted promptly and given a drink whilst being processed. Everything was explained to us, although we knew the set up inside out. Room was on the 2nd floor overseeing the beach. Overall clean, although fluff was found under the bed. TV didn't have any English channels but we found later in the week that if you re-tune you can pick up BBC news. The waiters / bar staff are excellent, Anise, Dakar and Ben all remembered us and gave excellent service. We kept getting told different messages from reception when asking about booking for the beach restaurant evening meal and didn't bother going in the end. We also didn't get to change money up into Tunisian dinar until a couple of days before going home due to a bank strike. Disappointed with the entertainment personally. I like to get involved in a game of darts in the morning and afternoon but no one came around asking and most days there wasn't any darts being played. A lot of comments on previous reviews slating the food. I am a trained chef and although there were a lot of dishes being repeated the quality was good and plenty of choice. The food truck didn't have burgers this time and one of the days there was no beer from 10 am to 5 pm. I heard other days some spirits had run out. The beach is fantastic and Brian manages the pool area very well. A few games by the pool from the entertainment team were good. The beach bar soft drink self service machine wasn't working. The furniture in the reception area was old and some ripped. Management need to look at the negatives or risk their regular customers going elsewhere.

Orangers Beach Hotel has lots of 'pips' which will not please many.. Having been to 13 different Tunisian hotels in the last 3 years I can assure you that this is NOT a 4* hotel. In fairness to the new manager he is trying to fix the issues, however he has an uphill task. Overall it’s a 3* rating. We visited during the last two weeks of June 26. Within days I wated to either move to another hotel or go home. Beach lovely and clean, excellent shade. Beach manger helpful. Alas, you need to compete with the French and Germans who take all the sun loungers by 6am. Same for the pool. Irritatingly they leave their towels and don’t occupy them for hours. The beach toilets were disgusting. They were cleaned prior to us leaving. Beach Bar. Forget it. It’s a joke. Other hotels have staff serving drinks. Rooms: Very good with excellent maid. This applies to most hotels. Reception: Pleasant staff. The banks closed for 3 days so you could not change money. When questioned they blamed the banks. Yet other hotels nearby had plenty of cash. One wonders! The furniture was dirty, torn, stained and needed replacement. Main Bar. Another joke. Ran out of beer twice!. No tonic to go with a gin. Staff, were lacked enthusiasm. Main Restaurant. (Breakfast & Evening) Compared to other hotels it needs a new head chef or manager. One set of salt & pepper for three tables.! The food was very basic, uninteresting and lacked flavour. Tunisian soup lacked inspiration! No ice cream let alone beef bacon! They had no cup/saucers on several occasions and one ended up with plastic cups. Lunch Restaurant. Somewhat better due to the 'stir fry section. Here the two chefs really tried to please their 'customers'. Again the food was somewhat school dinners! The staff lacked training and or leadership. Music: The evening adult entertainment did not start until the staff finished amusing little children (Total of 10 under 12 years.) around 21-30hrs. Then the Boom Boom 'rave' started. The music manager failed to understand the average age was 55 plus and 80% did not appreciate the constant Boom Boom which went on very late. We had a quiet room yet this music did my head in! Tunisian hotels just don’t get it! People have head phones to listen to their own music. Why they may us suffer with their form of entertainment is just crazy. I understand having exercises to music etc. But this was punishment beyond duty. In conclusion, the manager needs to send his staff for training at other hotels otherwise he will never be a 4 star hotel. Booked via TUI. This holiday did not reflect what was on their web site.

We stayed here for 10 days and honestly had a pretty good vacation. The room was spacious, clean, and had everything you'd need. The hotel itself is beautiful, especially the outdoor areas. There are so many flowers and plants everywhere, and it's all very well maintained. It really has a lovely atmosphere and just gives this amazing summery feeling. The beach was one of my favorite parts. The sand is super soft, the water is clear, and during our stay there were barely any waves, which made swimming really enjoyable. I only saw one jellyfish during our stay, but there can be more so I'd still be a little careful just in case. The food was probably the only thing that wasn't amazing. It wasn't absolutely horrible, but also not amazing. Just kinda "meh." Still, it was definitely edible and I always found something to eat, but it wasn't the highlight of the hotel. Then again, everyone has different tastes, so that's just my opinion. The waiters were all friendly and polite. Of course, like in many hotels, you might get a little extra attention after leaving a tip, but they were friendly regardless. My highlight of this hotel was definitely the animation/entertainment team though. They really were so amazing. They always put lots of effort and just generally make the stay more enjoyable. They interacted with guests all day, always had great energy, and genuinely seemed to care that everyone was having fun. In my opinion, you can really tell that they love and enjoy what they're doing and they work great together as a team. The girls are absolute sweethearts, so kind, adorable, and welcoming, and the guys are just as lovely and so funny, great to have conversations with. We gave all 6 of them a little tip at the end of our stay and I really would've given them more if we had more money left to spend at the end LOL, cause they just really do deserve it. A huge thank you again to the whole animation team. You are all such sweethearts, every single one of you. I hope I'll get to come back and see you all again someday! 🥹 Overall, I definitely think this hotel was worth it and I left satisfied with my stay. Apart from the food not being my favorite, I don't have any complaints. I would happily come back. And another thing, if you're a normal person, looking for a nice, relaxing vacation, I would say you'll most likely have a good time here. If you're expecting an ultra luxurious, five star experience with perfection in every little detail, you'd probably be happier looking for something much more expensive. For what this hotel offers, I think it's absolutely worth it.

This was our fourth visit and we couldn’t fault it . Excellent location , beautiful gardens and spotless beach , rooms and hotel areas are very clean . From high up management to cleaners and gardeners staff are so polite and can’t do enough for you . Drinks flowed all day ( great cocktails ) . Food was good , lovely fresh multiple salads and good hot food , I found something every day without an issue . If you have a problem tell staff and they soon sort it . Please try and ignore some of the negative reviews and give this little gem a chance

Hi The hotel staff are very helpfull and the entertainment are the best. The hotel is let down by the cleaning in the toliets by the beach. I think more money could be put back into the hotel. To help the staff.

Top animation team and execute holiday

Just back from 12 night stay, and this is an honest view on the hotel. First impressions were not good arriving at 9.30 in the morning, we were sat down in reception and left . We were told to go to breakfast, which once again was not good as it was late breakfast which had not been explained. After this things got better, our room was ready by 11 and it was spacious and clean . We went to the pool and was meet by Brian who got us beds and towels. As he did every day. The lunchtime restaurant next to the beach offered a great choice of hot and cold food. And the staff were excellent. Evenings also offered a good choice, but unfortunately never seemed to get replenished. The chef cooking the hot food was overworked and this needs to be addressed by management. The entertainment team were friendly and energetic , one of the better entertainment teams we have experienced. The two bars were a highlight offering great drinks and great service, especially dhaker and Anis Tiger, they constantly came round to get you drinks. The beach is lovely and the pool is well maintained. The complaint about no beer, was totally unfair, it was for a couple of hours in the morning. Then back to normal. Whilst we were there a new Hotel manager arrived and you could see changes happening immediately. I think people forget they are in Tunisia and it has a slightly different culture to what many other countries. Thank you for a nice stay, the hotel have lovely staff too many to mention.

The location, gardens and beach were perfect in every way. Great to have an outside area for drinks, relaxation and evening entertainment. Fabulous beach with sun loungers, however, do be aware that the beach staff are tipped to place guest towels on loungers at stupid o’clock in the morning by guests, so if you want a front row lounger get your money ready! We stayed in ground floor rooms nearest the beach which were a perfect location for us. Rooms were very dark and dated and I wouldn’t say the cleanest, but very difficult for the staff to make a silk purse out of a pigs ear! Now for the biggest letdown- main restaurant was dark and dingy with very limited choices. Food not replenished and not enough staff to cover the tables, coffee machines not working. Breakfast station again, could have done with at least 2 chefs but only one in situ trying to cook and serve crepes, doughnut, make omelettes and eggs-disaster! Beach restaurant was great to have, but again food not great. Pizza/ noodle chef could have done with another pair of hands. The beach restaurant is also inadequately staffed and wasn’t the cleanest, with dead and live cockroaches in the female toilets. This is shocking as food is being cooked/served throughout this area. The entertainment team and drinks waiters do an amazing job, but again not enough of them and they are run of their feet. All in all potential to be a great hotel (apparently) it used to be. With a little money spent on the rooms, food quality improved and a number of extra staff for the restaurant and bar areas this could be a fabulous place. Would we book this hotel again… maybe for the location and beach, but it would have to be for a very low price unless improvements are made. We were told that the money is being spent at the sister hotel. Let’s hope the owner opens his eyes and sees what a little gem this hotel could be again.

We recently stayed at this hotel for over a week and overall had a wonderful time. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the pool was fantastic, and the location was perfect for what we wanted. The food, was the weakest point — it was quite repetitive and often lacked flavor. We found ourselves getting a bit tired of the buffet options by the end of the week. However, the **animation team** was absolutely superb and completely made up for it! They were energetic, fun, and kept everyone entertained from morning until night with great activities, games, and shows. Their enthusiasm was infectious and really made our holiday special, Mido , ToTo Simo zuber, GiGi and mo mo were absolutely fantastic Despite the food, we'd **definitely come back** thanks to the brilliant animation team and the great atmosphere they created. Highly recommended if you're looking for fun and entertainment! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ran out of beer. Bottled beer yesterday non at all at present, keep saying in half hour but not happening. Not happy at all All rails wobbly, safety issue. No one bothered Food not good, same serving utensils used for different plates of food.

As someone who never writes reviews I feel like this is needed. The food was ok, the options were very minimal we stayed for 11 nights and there was 2-3 nights where the food was different. The rooms were clean but could do with a bit of some TLC. The entertainment team were amazing it’s such a shame that they don’t have a big budget as they could make the shows really good. It’s definitely needs more staff as they are really overrun and I would hate it for them when the hotel is at full capacity. At the end of the day it’s a cheap hotel so you do get what you pay for

Had a 2 week stay here and loved every minute of it. The staff are really accommodating and helpful. The bars make amazing drinks and Buffets always have great food! The rooms are spacious with an easy to use safe. Everything was worth the price. The best part is that one has direct access to the beach with a great set up for sunbeds. With Der Tour we did 2 day trips as well. Highly recommend the one to El Jem. Apart from that they a list of options to choose from. The Animation team always has something going on to make the stay as active as possible. The evening events were well organised and spectacular. Highly recommend Les Orangers Beach Resort for a trip to Tunisia! P.S. Before coming here, the negative reviews about food and hygiene were a bit concerning. But after the stay, I can surely say to ignore them as some guests were unnecessarily rude and over the top in their demands.
