Top 10 Port El Kantaoui Hotels

We stayed at the Jaz Tour Khalef from 24th Feb to 2nd March. We had an evening flight and arrived at the hotel around 9pm. Check in was quick and easy with the man on reception being super attentive. Our room had to have something double checked so he sent us to the bar for a drink and along with the others who arrived with us, were advised that they would have food available in the restaurant at 10pm. This was specially for us having arrived after mealtime and was definitely appreciated. Our room was a Superior Garden View. We had room B513. This room looked out to the rear garden area and looking to the side from the balcony we could also see the sea. The room was spacious, clean, light and airy with a huge bathroom. A fridge was provided in the room, and is located in a cupboard. Looked like it had seen better days but we had no need to use it. Room had air con and heating and plenty of storage for clothes etc, and a safe. The hotel and grounds were lovely. The main pool is stunning and has day beds, loungers in the shallow water and also round the pool. The lifeguard was super helpful and would always locate beds and cushions. He would also always provide a weather forecast - knowing us hardy Scots could be more likely to sunbathe than others from hotter countries. While the outside bar beside the pool was closed, the snack bar is adjacent and is open. The barmen - also wonderful, would do laps of the pool making sure everyone has a drink. Even filled my cup without me asking rather than bring me a paper cup. We ate all our meals in the hotel restaurants and enjoyed everything we had. Again, the waiting staff are absolutely fantastic. They will locate you a table and provide drinks. Nothing is too much trouble. Selection of food was huge. Breakfast included all the usual continental offerings of bread, cheese, meats, cereal, pastries etc along side the cooked foods; eggs, meats, beans. There was a station making fresh omelettes, another for pancakes and another for doughnuts. At lunch and tea time there is a pizza station, pasta station, Tunisian station and 2 grill stations all cooking a variety of options - alongside all the hot prepared self service foods, salads, fruit, desserts etc. There is also ice cream and sorbet available. We ate in Le Oliveraie restaurant on Italian night. We had planned this before we travelled and assumed it was a la carte. On booking we were asked if we would like beef or fish. We chose beef and were intrigued how our meal would go. We were more than happy with the attentiveness of the normal waiting staff - the experience in the Italian was amazing. We were seated and presented with a tray with several small sharing dishes. This was followed by 3 small bowls of pasta, also for sharing. After we then got some carpaccio. Everything to this point was a mix of seafood and meat. Then we received our beef - a steak cooked to our preference, with sauce, potatoes and veg. Final course was dessert of tir

We have been to hotels all over the world.We spend xmas every year usualy in spain but wanted a change this year and deceided to retutn to Tunisia after 25 years. We were amazed by this hotel. We were met on arrival and taken to reception. We had 2 rooms booked and were given rooms side by side with an amazing sea view. The staff could not do enough for us, nothing was too much trouble.The food was great a huge variaty and yes sometimes as you find with self service could have been a bit hotter but there was a microwave there and after a few seconds the food would be piping hot. Bar staff were so attentive and would replace drinks before you asked for a refill.Our only complaint would be the entertainment, it was very poor and angled for the locals. Xmas eve and New years eve buffets were mind blowing, set out lovely and so much selection. Prawns, lobster, swordfish,turkey,beef wellington and much more. Too much to mention.The hotel is in a great location. We will be returning to this hotel again. This was one of the best holidays we have ever had.

I had the worst facial treatment ever in this hotel ‘hotel hasdrubal thalassa spa’. There was no explanation about the treatment or the products, the chair was uncomfortable and I was under the steamer for about 20 min that was too hot and too close to my face. The woman left and came back later, then applied a mask and again left the room for about 20 min. Normally in the mean time they massage your hands or feet but now I pay 80 euro to be left alone in the room for most of the time with just a steamer and a mask. The water was cold and normally for comfort they use a hot towel or cottons to remove products. After the treatment my skin felt really sticky… I said this immediately to the spa manager but he didn’t reply anything. Not a sorry or any explanation.. I understand that every country has his own way of treatments but you would not expect this from a 5 star hotel. I did had a good experience in the hammam! It was clean and the treatment was nice. But I definitely not recommend the facial treatments.

Great staff, polite and non-introduced, animation show super cool. The room with sea view arranged us. Dinner is delicious and varied, but breakfasts I didn't like very much, for 5* little choice. Absolute cleanliness, convenient bed, bed linen and towels as new, neats and slippers branded in a separate packaging, the present from the hotel in the form of fruit was also very enjoyable. It is strange that there are no cheeslons (!) in the free pool!

Massive hotel with 618 rooms, fresh and sea water pools and its own beach. Stayed here for two nights at the end of a small-group tour of Tunisia. Friendly helpful staff. Large rooms with all mod cons. Huge choice of food at breakfast and (buffet) dinner.

The hotel itself is a bit tired but the staff really are what makes it. They are attentive and jolly (one member of the bar staff was miserable the whole duration - might be in the wrong profession?!). The food is acceptable. It lacks seasoning and flavour but it does of course need to cater to as many palettes as possible. If you like flavour, take your own condiments (I hesrd the ketchup was rubbish but didn't try it perdonslly). The food is also a bit repetitive largely consisting of grilled meat (beef, turkey, quail) and fish, stewed lamb, chicken and beef, potatoes (mashed, sautéed), chips/fries, grilled vegetables (courgettes, carrots, squash, tomatoes, okra), pasta and pizza, soup. There was also a variety of different salads and bread (which always seemed stale to me). At breakfast there is no bacon! There are omelettes, fried and poached eggs cooked to order. The omelettes were delicious. There was also grilled vegetables, beans (not the baked beans us Brits know and love), grilled frankfurters, pancakes, pastries, fruit, yoghurt and museli, fresh juice and tea and coffees. Our waiter, Salah, was great. He kept us topped up with drinks and made sure we had everything we needed. He was always smiling and welcoming when he saw us head over to the tables and it made us feel like special guests to receive his superb service. The rooms are spacious, but despite requesting a double garden view room we were given a room overlooking the car park and two single beds pushed together. The pillows were not comfortable - a bit too hard and thick for me. Plenty of storage space but very few hangers. A wash and ironing service can be provided at additional cost. Tea and coffee making facilities are available but we didn't make use. The tea wasn't great so take your own teabags. The bathroom is huge, equipped with a bath and shower overhead. the shower was always warm but not high pressured, though did a good enough job for washing my hair and rinsing out sand, shampoo etc. Our bath didn't drain well and took a while so no showers in quick succession. The hairdryer in the bathroom is terrible - I never managed to fully dry my hair with it. Do take your own. There is a vanity table and mirror in the room but I found the lighting at night too dark to do my makeup. the bathroom was better lit. Drinks are ok. Beer is a 3% local and red wine a 13% local drop. The white wine tastes like vinegar so we avoided that after the first glass or two. Cocktails are strong but very sweet. They have Coca Cola and other local soft drinks poured from bottles so can be a little flat. All drinks are served in tiny glasses/paper cups, some people had taken their own (pint) glass out with them and the bar staff did fill them. The entertainment wasn't our cup of tea - karaoke, quiz, live music, drag show. unfortunately it was too chilly to sit outside so we were confined to drinking in the lobby where the entertainment was on, so we were largely subjected to

I recently stayed at Marhaba salem Hôtel in Sousse, for a weekend. This is my seconde time going there, it was a largely positive experience, and a really good place to escape especially, the garden paths, they were perfect. In addition, the chef Khalifa ben salah was so friendly to us, also the breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of options with an good quality.

An amazing 10 days at Seabel Alhambra. The staff could not do enough to help. From the cleaners, our waiter khalif and all of the animation crew, it was superb. Made more impressive by the fact that it was Ramadan. The energy and spirit they showed to my whole family was incredible. I have danced, sung and laughed with all staff. Thank you for making it an amazing holiday for us all, my kids will miss cookie and francos cuddles ricos smile but we have his t shirts as memories. Thank you all for teaching me how to dance. We will be back soon!!
