The receptionist, Meriam Hasani was horrible and should be fired!! She was abusive, aggressive, discriminatory and disrespectful. We came to the hotel and paid in advance for 2 nights. It was Ramadan, but they were serving alcohol at the bar. The barman, Ben Ali, served me and my husband a few bottles of beer, then decided to tell my husband that he should not drink because he looks Arab (we are both American, and not Muslim). He then told my husband to put on his sunglasses so no one could see him. When I demanded to speak to the manager, he refused to call him, and told me I had to walk (quite a distance) to the reception. This is where our experience went from bad to worse. Meriam Hasani, the receptionist, told me that it is Ramadan, and I can drink (I am caucasion) but not my husband. I told her he is American, and she said "the passport doesn't matter - he has Tunisian blood." Then she patronized me, and said, "Do you know Ramadan? Go get your husband to explain it to you." (I have a PhD, have traveled the world, and lived in Muslim countries. I am respectful of the religious traditions of other cultures, which is why I booked our vacation at an Italian resort). She REFUSED to bring a manager to talk to me, and finally after I brought my husband she refunded our money for the second night only. She then shouted at me across the lobby as I was walking away. We didn't use the room other than to drop our bags for two hours, and they caused us to be so upset that we left. Meriem and Ben Ali completely ruined our vacation.
