As I'm about to book my fourth visit to the Riu Palace Oceana I thought I'd take a minute to catch up on the latest reviews and, like other visitors, I just have to say that BMP_9 must live in a parallel universe. It is unfortunate if they had a poor taxi driver - but that is hardly the hotel's... more

Having read the horror stories of so many tripadvisors on Tunisian hotels & the general feeling that 5 stars in Tunisia equates with 3 stars elsewhere, I was very careful in choosing a hotel. The reviews for Riu Palace Oceana at Hammamet were very good & I therefore spent more than I normally would for private travel & we were... more

This hotel was selected by our Golf coach for a group of us, so we were reassured to find it ranked highly on TripAdvisor before we arrived. As other reviewers have mentioned, the Oceana is a clean hotel set in beautiful gardens with leisure activities within the grounds, directly adjacent to the beach. Arriving without any local currency, it was... more

A comfortable and stylish hotel with excellent facilities (inc. nice beach), but not all restaurant areas open. Food in main restaurant good but mainly buffet and slightly repetitive, and no full table service. Service from all staff is excellent, the best we've seen. more

Just returned from a perfect honeymoon at the Oceana. Beautifully finished and sparkling clean five star hotel. Marble floors, walls, stairs gave the luxury feel, and make a grand first impression. The Oceana never lets you down. We had a sea view room on the top floor and the panoramic views were spectacular. Put your sunglasses on in the morning... more

We (my husband, nearly three year old daughter and I) stayed at the Riu Palace Oceana for two weeks (6th-20th Sept) and had a fantastic holiday! Despite arriving late at night we were met by very friendly reception staff who checked us in quickly and efficiently and bought us complimentary drinks. The tone on our arrival continued throughout the stay,... more
