Marhaba Royal Salem Hotel
Sousse, Tunisia

Mr A Mahmood, Rochdale

Rooms were mostly clean and the hotel was very clean. Our room was kept clean, although the toilet had a minor leak. This was attended to but it was not completely fixed. The room did not include a safe or fridge although you could hire a safe. Staff at hotel are friendly and speak very good English. There were around 4 pools and one with slides. Most of the pools had salt water and this was something that was not to everyone's liking. There were always plenty of loungers available. The pool areas were always kept clean and drinks were taken at some pools. The beach is excellent and is well kept. Unfortunately the beach bar only served drinks and no food. Possibly due to time of year (May) however, we did expect food to be served as it was a busy period. The food in the main restaurant was varied and you could always find something to eat. The location of the hotel is excellent. It is not in the centre of Sousse but is close to port El Kantoui and the centre of Sousse. The entertainment was mainly put on by the animation team and the quality of the entertainment could be better. The animation team are very friendly and made an effort with all guest especially kids. The hotel was good value for money and for the price we paid we probably consider staying here again.

Had great time, staff very friendly, food good and plenty of choices, room large very clean, pools clean and plenty of sun loungers. Good location, Sousse 3km, 5 min by taxi, about 2 pounds, shops, cafes and restaurants walking distance from the hotel. Half of the guests are from the uk. Family friendly hotel, water slides, pancakes, ice cream kept my toddler very happy, beach nice and clean, 1 min walk through lovely landscaped gardens. Thanks sunshine, going back in the summer with my family. Obviously I already have booked with you, even so we are going to stay at the sister Marhaba Salem Hotel.

We stayed at the Marhaba Royal Salem. Although the hotel was nice I wasn't impressed because it wasn't season time so there was no food available after 9pm, also you have to pay for drinks in the disco. First time ever in an all inclusive I have experienced this. Hotel has things for the kids to do. Beach is lovely a lot of water sports, not too far from a food shop where all the locals go and the other way is like a KFC. Animation were great, and the waiter from Marhaba Salem waited on us around the pool everyday. Can't remember his name think it's something like Monce, anyway he was fab! I will be returning to the Marhaba Salem the end of May.

Ms K Adams, Kidderminster

There are 3 hotels in resort, I was meant to stay in the Royal Salem with the slides but I was put in sister hotel even though I paid extra. The hotel was kept clean, the rooms were cleaned every day and the staff were all very nice and happy to help you. The hotel grounds were untidy but I did go out of season, as I was leaving 8/4/15 they were tidying it all up the grounds the buildings!! I stayed in hotel with glass elevators. The food was okay. Animation team were great and they had a laugh with the guests and welcomed you every day round the pool. Pool boys were also friendly and got you beds/mattresses out as they saw you round pool. Hotel reception staff also good and helpful.

Mrs D Williams, Pontypridd

Spacious, comfortable and clean rooms. Beautiful outdoor swimming pools. Private beach with bar and food service. Large dining rooms with freshly cooked meals. Reception staff very knowledgeable, polite and helpful. Wi-Fi was frustratingly intermittent and only available in the reception area. Bar staff always attentive. Special thanks to the best barman, Wahid, for making sure our glasses were never empty.

Mrs M Soanes, Lowestoft

Excellent food, friendly staff and hotel has good amenities.

Mrs R Makin, Colne

This hotel is the best yet. The staff are amazing and can't do enough for you. Our stay was made the best by the animation team who made us feel so welcome and that we had known them for years. We are planning to go back next year.

Mrs J Hearson, Sheffield

Enjoyed our holiday very much, only downside our room had a very small balcony, the room itself was fine. The staff were very friendly, helpful and made our stay enjoyable. The food was very good, the beach was great, able to swim in the sea. The weather was fantastic, all in all a very good holiday.

Mr S Gilbey, North Walsham

Amazing hotel which was very clean with a wide variety of food. The room was very large and the daily cleaners did a great job. Beach was lovely with a snack bar that overlooked it, 3 pools in total all of which were really clean and grounds were well looked after. I do not understand the bad reviews, we had a brilliant holiday and would return to this hotel. We did not think much of Sousse but the hotel is 4 miles away which we were pleased about. If you want a relaxing beach holiday this is the place.

Ms Z Deas, Bath

It is a very large and busy hotel so do not expect a relaxing holiday. The hotel cater for their guests really well although the food can become repetitive. My one gripe is that there are not enough sun loungers. Unless you are willing to bribe the pool guy, you'll need to be out with your towel at 6am.

Miss D Ball, Walsall

Brilliant hotel, very welcoming and friendly staff. Rooms were perfect for what we needed them for. Animation team were the best ever, made us feel so welcome and got us and the children joining in the fun and games.

Mr P Smith, Manchester

Staff very attentive. Poolside music too loud. Too crowded. Food good.

Mr J Little, Glasgow

Top class location with plenty of variety in terms of the various pools and cafes on site.
Lovely beach and very friendly staff. Great entertainment and within easy reach of Sousse. My wife and I had a great holiday at this hotel and would recommend it to parties of all ages.
