Touama Holidays

The food was very good. Staff was friendly.

I expected more from this resort, but was somewhat disappointed by the amenities and the food service

It's a good hotel however it seemed a bit old, not very modern. A lot of the facilities like pool tables, video games, etc were not working. Some of the water slides were not working or sometimes bumpy leading to some scratches on the way down. Food wise, not impressed at all. Very similar food choices everyday and vegetarians would really struggle for choices.

Lots of positives and some negatives. In short I would go again. To expand a little... the complex and the layout are very good. It's a very nicely styled hotel. Compliments to the room cleaning staff, the restaurant staff, the bar staff (other than a bit of a grumpy guy called Omar at the pool bar) and compliments too to the entertainment team (though my kids didn't do much with them). All those guys were great. Reception staff were hit and miss. The luggage handler guys were imposing and controlling - I absolutely hated having my room key taken away from me while two luggage handlers escorts me to my room. Felt like a total tip-grab attempt. Food we maybe a 3.5 - 4 starts out of 5. Some bits were excellent, and other bits less so. There was always a plentiful supply though. I don't think you can expect too much out of an all-inclusive so for me this was fine - but my wife notes that we had better in Turkey. Now to my main gripe... it is absolutely unacceptable for a so-called 5* hotel to downgrade your room on arrival without any prior notification and then claim that you cannot have the room type you booked because we are full. You quite simply don't over-allocate. We got put into a double room which then had 2x extra temporary single beds squeezed in. When people book their holidays they pay careful attention to the room they choose and the extra money they are willing to pay for it - so downgrading you (and worse finding this out at 11pm with 2x small kids) was poor
