First of all, most Tunisian hotels aren't the greatest thing in the world. I feel bad for some of the reviewers who seemed to be expecting something great, and instead got this run-of-the-mill, rather run-down, hotel. However, it was clean, the service was hospitable, and the view is great.
We stayed in the colonial house, which when we drove up on a rainy, cold day, looked a lot like we were going to the Shining hotel. Luckily, we were greeted warmly and we got a pleasant enough room just over the pool. Unfortunately, the windows were so small it was difficult to enjoy the view. The bathroom was clean. The lighting, like a lot of places in Tunisia, is atrocious. The mattresses (yes, only two double beds smushed together for my wife and I) were passable but not great.
All in all, I was glad to be in the city of Tabarka, instead of 8 kms away at the resorts. The hotel is fine, but not great, and worth the 50 or 60 USD we paid.
