Our stay at the TUI Blue Oceana Suites was end of April/early May 2024. This was our 5th visit to Tunisia! We had a wonderful holiday and will most definitely return to this hotel. Apparently, as of 1 May 2024, the hotel became no longer part of TUI Blue and ownership has reverted to the owner. It's been interesting to discover that future bookings via TUI no longer offer the Junior Suites with Partial Sea View as a pre-paid upgrade package, so it seems that to get any sea view, partial or full will definitely require per person/per night supplement payments (prices at reception). Guests are French, German, British, Tunisian, Dutch and Russian. THE GOOD * The staff are all great, hard-working and attentive. As well as Tunisian Arabic, most of them can speak French, English and German pretty well and some speak some Russian. In particular, we received great service from SAMEH on reception, SABER in the restaurant and MUHAMMED also in the restaurant. Thank you so much to all three of you. * Housekeeping was also excellent and our lady would do things like leaving our towels shaped like kissing swans, arranging sweets in heart shapes and scattering flower petals in pretty shapes, etc. Really nice touches! * The hotel's location is perfect - right on the private beach. We swam in the sea despite it not yet being warm as it will be later on in the season. The beach is just for hotel guests and sunbeds are free to use there. Great! * The main round swimming pool is beautiful and we swam in it. It's surrounded by beautifully tended immaculate gardens with plenty of sunbeds around - no need to rush for them! * There is a pool bar which wasn't yet open during our stay, but was opening the week after we left. However, there was waiter service for drinks if you were at the pool, so that was fine for us. * There is a lovely indoor pool and a gym, both of which we used. Also an attractive spa which we didn't use. * There was no daytime entertainment or music (hooray), so the pool area was always a wonderfully restful place. For us, loud music and animation teams working the guests round the pool is our holiday nigh**are, so it was so good to NOT have to endure that! * The minimal evening entertainment was ideal for us too. No animation team (hooray). Just simple things like the occasional singer, piano bar etc. Not too much and not disturbingly noisy if you wanted an early night. * The suite rooms are spacious and carpeted, with wonderfully comfortable superking or twin beds with fluffy pillows, a dressing room, en suite bathroom and a balcony. There are inter-connecting suites available too. There are also ground floor rooms with private pools but they do require a supplement to be paid. * In our opinion, the food was lovely. I've noticed that in their reviews, people often make negative comments about food choices and menu repetition at All Inclusive hotels, but every day at the Oceana Suites, they were catering for all tastes offering 2 ta
