Marhaba Beach Hotel
Sousse, Tunisia

Mr S Tomes, Hull

The hotel is slightly dated but not really a problem. The food is normal food and the majority of it was good and tasty. The staff are friendly (a lot of people threw tips at them but to be honest, an occasional tip went just as far). The drinks are watered down quite a lot but again to be expected. There wasn't enough waiters/barmen to cope and found ourselves waiting a long time for drinks (the bar staff were good, just not enough of them) . There are shops and restaurant near the complex but no bars meaning you either travel or stay on the complex which, as the entertainment was a little repetitive and weird (tho again the entertainment staff are great), it made some nights a bit boring. The hotel is in a great (and beautiful) setting next to a lovely beach with a beach bar which also serves dinners.

Mr K Conde, Swindon

Not enough glasses in bars, you have to wait for them to wash them up and when you only have 1 bar person behind bar it takes a long time.

Mr E Stevens, Rochester

Clean hotel.

Ms E Burgess, Gosport

I have been staying at this hotel a couple of times a year for the past 6 years and it is like my second home. The staff, Mohammed and Jerry in the restaurant and Haythem in the bar are a credit to the hotel and always look after you. Although I have mentioned a few names it has to be said that all the staff there are really friendly and go out of their way to make sure you have a good time.

Mr J Mayne, Carrickfergus

Staff wonderful, all people were wonderful. If there is a time when I would go back, I would go there again.

Ms N Allan, Enfield

Brilliant location. Lovely rooms. Great animation team. Wide variety of food. Bar staff friendly.

Miss C Saigeman, Bognor Regis

The staff at the hotel are polite and friendly. The hotel is clean and tidy. The food was good and the beach clean. The bungalows are a little tired and could do with updating. But I would definitely stay there again.

Miss E Winwick, Peterborough

Rooms okay although we were not given the room we had paid for (sea view) on arrival - this was changed after getting cross with the manager who claimed we had not paid for sea view (however this was stated on the email!). Very clean although towels were not changed in rooms and smelt quite damp and disgusting. Fab animation team although reception staff were rude and unhelpful. Food - enough for everyone although very average. Breakfast was not worth going to. Hotel facilities generally very good. Lots of sun loungers and staff at the beach would go above and beyond to help. Good prices for activities on the beach. Evening entertainment only aimed at families and children - does not suit couples or under 30s at all.

Mrs V Acors, London

The hotel was very nice and the staff couldn't do enough to help you.

Mrs R Aujla, Leeds

Excellent hotel, great staff, we went with our teenage children and there were plenty of cheap water sports to keep them busy. The beach on the door step is amazing, only grumble was that the beach bar and the pool bar were poor, so had to keep going back into the hotel for gin and tonics. Extremely clean, entertainment staff kept the children busy, food was excellent.

Miss S Green, Hemel Hempstead

Room was plenty big enough and cleaned every day. The pool was lovely and there were plenty of sun loungers. The private beach also was lovely with lots of loungers. Food was good-there was always plenty of choice and it was all freshly cooked. The staff were excellent, especially the animation team.

Mr M Wlodarczyk, Ulverston

Cleanliness and food ok. Everything else poor.

Mr R Murphy, Huddersfield

If like us you like to spend the day around the pool this hotel is not your you. The pool is terrible.

Mrs S Coles, Budleigh Salterton

Wonderful relaxing hotel. We are a family of 5 (3 generations) and were given two interconnecting views with sea/pool view. Rooms very clean as maid cleaned every day. Fresh beach towels available each day at the pool when using a towel card which you can get at reception for 10 dinar. Lovely selection of food. Dinner has two sittings at either 6.30 or 8.00pm and you choose which sitting you want at the start of your stay. Beach is lovely and sea is shallow and safe. Beach bar is great for drinks and food during the day. Waiter service provided by pool by Omar was a real treat. Pool loungers available around both the pool terrace and in the well kept gardens around the pool. Reception staff really friendly and bank in hotel makes changing money really easy. Fairly even split of English, German, Russian and Belgian guests at the hotel. Animation team very friendly and take the time to chat even if you don't join in with the activities. Only down side was lack of fridge in room and had to use ladder steps to get in an out of main pool, something that Nan found a little difficult. Overall a great holiday. Totally relaxing with great weather, great food and wonderfully friendly and helpful staff. Hope to return.

Mr D Griffiths, Bristol

On arrival the hotel looks very impressive and it is. The reception although large was very cosy. The rooms were very spacious and kept immaculately clean. The garden around the swimming pool was a delight to sit in and the beach only a few steps away. The food was very good catering for all tastes. The staff were very attentive always acknowledging you and with a smile on their faces. The only let down I would say was the entertainment, the animation team were excellent but the evening entertainment was not very good like watching the auditions of Britains got Talent. Very surprised when one evening the show was A Transvestite Evening not what I would call family entertainment. Have never been to Tunisia before but we shall definitely be returning to this hotel. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

Mrs J Hutt, St. Helens

Very clean, staff always working to maintain cleanliness. Staff very helpful. Rooms on a higher floor have the best sea views. Food a good selection, always could find something to eat, drinks okay not branded.

Mr K Collins, Cleethorpes

Very good value for money hotel, wasn't busy for our stay so cannot comment on high season. Overall a pleasant stay at above average 3 star venue.

Mr S Walker, Llanelli

Very nice hotel, very good service.

Mrs J Piper, Kenley

All very comfortable but a wee bit shabby in places. Pool is a bit dated but staff are excellent, food is very nice and beach is lovely. Animation team very good.

Mrs T Allen, Gloucester

Great holiday at this hotel, good food, nice rooms. We found the pool a little small and too deep but over all no complaints.
