“As we expected”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2010
17
people found this review helpful

If you choose Marabout for your vacation you can't be wrong. After reading some reviews we got what we expected. First, location of the hotel is fine, directly on the beach. We stayed for 10 days on half board basics. We have no complaints about the food. There is a beautiful swimming pool with a small water park at additional cost. We are advised to always give small tip, and we did, but it's not obligatory.

We didn't liked people outside of hotel! They are pulling your hand just to make you buy something. Disgusting! But this is probably their culture. But this has nothing with the hotel.

Don't miss chance to visit Sahara! Yes, it's little expensive but it is worth every cent!

“A three plus star hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 September 2010

people found this review helpful

For the money I paid for this hotel, I thought it was excellent. Firstly it looked impressive for a 3 star hotel, and it was rather big. The swimming pool was better than most 4 star hotels, the beach was amazing and the sea warm. The pool bar was very cheap and had nice food there. The service was ok, most of them rather grumpy unless tipped but it did not bother me. The room was ok, a little shabby but clean and there were no insects or bugs crawling around. The food ok, nothing special but really what can you expect from a three star budget hotel! All in all everything was excellent and I would recommend this place!! It may not be luxurious but for a nice comfortable break its a winner!

“Good hotel with great value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 June 2010

Me, my friend and her 11 year old son stayed at this hotel for a week in June 2010. It was a nice family hotel with swimming pools, kids pools and water slide (for a small fee). The beach was just awesome, and right by the hotel. At the cost of 2 TDN a day you get a sunbed (this was manditory). The hotel is locacted in Sousse, with small shops/supermarkets in near by walk. A walk along the beach walk will take you to the Medina for more cheap shopping (a 20 minute walk - or you can take a taxi there for about 5 TDN). At the Medina be sure to not get ripped off, and tell the sellers to BACK OFF when needed. As me and my friend are blonds, they constantly thought we were from Sweden or Denmark (we are from Norway), so they started talking to us in Swedish. The Medina was charming, but a bit stressful. Back at the hotel we had half-pension including breakfast and dinner. The breakfast was awesome, a lot of variey. But if you don't like cheese or sousage the selection of things to put on your bread is minimal. The dinner was just terrible. I think out of the 7 days we were there we ate elsewhere 3 or 4 times. The dessert was good though, especially the ice cream. In stead, the pool bar/restaurant had some great food like cheese sandwich, pizza's, fries and a great spaghetti bologonese. Although, the selection was not big here either. The best thing was that the price of the food was just ridicolously cheap. You're not allowed to buy drinks from the supermarkets and bring into the room. We did, and hid it in our bags when entering the hotel (the guard stopped us the first time when we only had it in plastic bags). And we had to hide it in the room as well. Our room was at top floor (5th). It was cleaned every day and the bathroom was quite spacious. The only thing negative about the room was that it only had one electrical out take (+ one in the bathroom), and when traveling these days with computers, phones, video games you need to charge. A lot. Also, our room was located right next to a construction site (by the Royal Beach Club). They started verrrrrry early and finished late at night. And because of the humidity in the room we needed to have to door open all night. Thus, I woke up quite early every day (one day even as early as 5 a.m). But overall, we were VERY pleased with the hotel. Great and friendly staff (by tipping much, they were so nice), great entertainment (kids disco and a new show each day of the week), volleyball, water gymnastics, massage/spa and lot of happenings. Nice waiters that fought about serving us, haha. And considering the price, this was a great hotel. I would consider going back!

“The staff steal your drinks!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 June 2010

people found this review helpful

Just returned from Tunisia and visited this hotel for the day to use their waterpark Please , please beware! It is the hotels policy not to allow any food or drinks not bought at the hotel onto the grounds. There are no notices telling you this.
The pool waiters take any drinks they see. They took 2 bottles of water from our table while we were in the pool. They refused to hand it back, and we spent most of the morning argueing with various staff members. Our 12 year old and her friend got very upset by this.
We eventually had to see the hotel manager to complain. He was very rude, but eventually he gave us our money back and we left with the day spoiled. We told the manager we would be warning others via Trip Advisor and he said "Do what you like". What a way to run a business. Even some of the Tunisian staff were very upset by the hotels attitude and were as angry as we were.
It wasnt just us it happened to. A Dutch family sat alongside us said a bottle of water was taken out of their small boys hands, and another family had water removed from where they were sat.
Unbelievable.
We would never contemplate staying at , or visiting this hotel again.
