The hype
The spa and pools are fantastic, but the '5-star' rating feels more like a solid 4-star due to aging rooms and hit-or-miss food.
Radisson Blu Palace Resort & Thalasso Djerba
$88-180 / natë
Rezervoni këtë nëse You want a massive, visually stunning beachfront resort with a world-class thalasso spa and don't mind if the service isn't quite Four Seasons level.
Pse Njerëzit E Duan
- The Athénée Thalasso spa is legitimately world-class and one of the best in Tunisia
- Grand, Instagram-worthy lobby with soaring oriental architecture
- Direct access to a wide, sandy beach with a popular beach bar
Shikim i shpejtë: A grand dame that dazzles in the lobby and spa but shows her age in the unrenovated rooms and inconsistent housekeeping.
Rishikuar nga @1000_puertos: I could have stayed in this cabana forever. The breeze through the curtains and that turquoise water view made it the most relaxing day of my entire trip. If you need a total reset, this is the spot. The beach service is top-tier too.
Mysafiri Që Qëndroi Këtu Tha
Reality check
You have to fight the 'towel war' at 7 AM to get a pool lounger, and the unrenovated rooms feel stuck in 2005.
- You are coming specifically for thalassotherapy treatments
- You love a bustling resort vibe with huge pools and evening entertainment
- You are traveling with family and need a mix of kids' club and adult relaxation
Pastrëti & Mirëmbajtje
7
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Some days spotless, other days sand is left in the shower or amenities aren't restocked.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally clean but aging. Watch out for blocked drains and worn grout in unrenovated rooms.
- Maintenance: A struggle. Reports of broken AC knobs, peeling paint in corridors, and pigeon droppings on walkways.
- Linens & towels: Clean but can be worn/scratchy. Beach towels are often in short supply.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of jasmine and incense (lovely), but some rooms have a musty or drain smell.

FAQ & Këshilla të fshehura
Çdo gjë që do të dëshironit të dini para se të rezervoni
Is the pool heated?
The large outdoor pool is unheated and can be chilly in winter/spring. The indoor pool is heated and lovely.
Is it really 5-star?
On paper, yes. In reality, it's a 3.5 to 4-star experience with 5-star architecture. Service and maintenance lack the polish of true luxury.
Are pets allowed?
No, pets are strictly prohibited.
How is the Wifi?
Surprisingly good. Free high-speed Wifi works well in rooms and even reaches parts of the pool area.
Can I bring water from the supermarket?
Officially, no. Security checks bags at the entrance and may confiscate outside food/drink to force you to buy hotel water.
Is the Thalasso pool free?
No, the saltwater Thalasso pool is part of the spa and requires a paid treatment or access fee.
Këshilla Ekskluzive
- ✨
The 'Turquoise' restaurant by the beach has far better food than the main buffet—go there for lunch.
- ✨
Taxis wait right at the front gate and cost peanuts (~3-5 TND) to get to Midoun or the crocodile park.
- ✨
If you want a lounger, you must place your towel before breakfast (yes, it's annoying, but it's the reality here).
5 gjëra që duhet të dini përpara se të niseni
💡Pigeons roost in the open-air corridors, so watch out for droppings on the way to your room.
💡The 'Cat Wars': stray cats will aggressively beg for food at the outdoor tables.
💡The indoor pool is a hidden gem for photos—stunning oriental tile work and often empty.
💡You might get a random fruit plate delivery to your room (a quirky, inconsistent perk).
💡The 'sea view' from some lateral rooms is mostly a view of the roof with a sliver of blue.
