Hello all....me, my boyfriend and my mum went to tunisia in july 2009...year b4 we went as well and this time in 2009 we booked Primasol bcos some of the staff of hotel we went in 2008 recomended us to only book 4 star or more in Tunisia bcos they have different standard as in Europe....
Ok...so we booked 4 star Primasol el mehdi...which was very good choice , i mean only if u want to stay in the hotel and sunbathe....pool are great and warm, sea is amazing, but hotel is far from all the shops and life...
Food was really nice, rooms were cleaned every day , staff was very helpfull even not speaking english ..;)))
I would recommed to all of you if you are planning to go to tunisia book the hotel in resort called Hammamet jasmine...it is wonderfull part, with loads of shops, medina...but dont go under 4 star..;))))

We went to Tunisia in late October and stayed at this Hotel. Upon arrival at the Hotel everything seemed to be okay at first, however looks can be deceiving. We found when using the shower or bath the water was seeping up from the floor tiles. We asked to be moved and we were given another room on the same floor. The room we had changed to had damp patches out side the bedroom door and lots of flying insects in the corridor near the damp patches. In the end we gave up complaining.

The food in the Restaurant seemed to be always the same food. Re-heated Meat was the Hotels specialty and a different sauce covered the meat to try and enhance the taste. At breakfast time you could have cooked vegetables and not much else to choose from apart from the Re-heated meat from the previous night’s menu.

The All inclusive was a complete JOKE, however I don’t drink alcohol but family did and they had a choice of the following drinks:- Coke, watered down Beer, and still water (which was in fact TAP water) and Tunisian Wine which was apparently tasted like the fluid from the breaks of a Car.

I tried to get Orange Juice which wasn’t Orange Juice, in the end we went to the local supermarket and purchased bottles water and other items to keep in the fridge in the bedroom.

Most of the Reception staff were not very helpful and seemed to be more interested in serving the German holiday makers; if you were not German, you didn’t get any help.

We would like to point out that we do not have any grudge against any German people, however the hotel WAS FULL OF GERMAN holiday makers and everything was in GERMAN, We wanted to attend one of the tours the HOTEL was advertising, however because we were not GERMAN we were not allowed to attend. This left the whole family feeling very Alienated.

Tunisia is a beautiful place and has a lot to offer tourists! I myself work in the Leisure industry and find that cowboy Hotels like this give a country a bad name. It is a shame that this particular Hotel is allowed to keep operating with such a poor service standard.

do not stay at this hotel recently got back would not go again, the rooms was dirty, meat raw, only larger on tap, red or white wine, nothing for older kids to do, got kids club for under 12's but they speak german, nothing around the hotel just dirt roads, they don't tell you that in medhia they only have a market on a friday thats it, the beach was nice if you can get there from being on the toilet so often, would not recomend this hotel to any one unless they can speak german

Hi. I just returned from the El Medhi Hotel and it was a nightmare. We arrived in the hotel around 1am in the morning, we were shown to our rooms, our room had no blankets to start off with. and was facing a brick wall. We complained to recepion and we were told to wait two days until a group of 350 germans had left, The hotel was 95% german... so it was all catered for them, the english were treated as second class citzens. The food was really awful. There was cabbage for breakfast, you were lucky to get a fried egg ... there was nothing for the english tourist... while i was there around 20 people got food posioning, as the meat was undercooked and still had blood poring out. We were disgusted to only have had one viist from a thomson rep withen our ten day stay... and that was on the first day. We had to sort all our problems out ourselves. We later saw her and the airport , and informed her off the food posioning, all her reply was , did you have the doctor out to prove it????!!! The entertainment was poor as it was catered for the germans,,, the entertainment was in a room across the other side of hotel, you had to walk to recepion bar to fetch your drinks, the nighttime shows were not that good at all. The ALL inclusive drinks part was a rip off, all you could have free was cola, sprite, soft drinks, gassy watered down bear, red or white wine or cocktails after 8pm , which they mde everyone have a bad stomach. Being a young girl, me and my sister were constantly harrases going to the shops, what little shops they have by locals wanting dates and to be our guides... everytime we left the hotle was nightmare so in the end we were confined to the hotel... which then you were still harrased by employees of the hotel in the complex wanting to take you on dates etc etc.... I would never visit this hotel again!! Worst hotel i have been. The surrounding area is also a dump and theres absolotuely nothing to do, it was like being in a prison camp for 10 days""" DONT GO THERE
