Best Hotels in Port el Kantaoui, Tunisia

Massive hotel with 618 rooms, fresh and sea water pools and its own beach. Stayed here for two nights at the end of a small-group tour of Tunisia. Friendly helpful staff. Large rooms with all mod cons. Huge choice of food at breakfast and (buffet) dinner.

Great staff, polite and non-introduced, animation show super cool. The room with sea view arranged us. Dinner is delicious and varied, but breakfasts I didn't like very much, for 5* little choice. Absolute cleanliness, convenient bed, bed linen and towels as new, neats and slippers branded in a separate packaging, the present from the hotel in the form of fruit was also very enjoyable. It is strange that there are no cheeslons (!) in the free pool!

Wonderful from start to finish! I could not recommend this hotel more. For me, it was the hotel team. The hotel community went out of their way to connect with others and genuinely seemed to care. They showed pride in customer service and expressed that they take their five-star reputation seriously. The room standard was amazing. Due to rooms being fully booked over Christmas, I needed to switch hotels for the main Christmas days. I switched to the biggest and supposedly most “ luxury “ hotel in Sousse. Honestly, the switch was not worthwhile. I realized just how exceptional the quality is at the Iberostar Selection Kantaoui Bay. The housekeeping team visited daily providing toiletries, clean bathrobes and nice extras ( such as sweets and chocolates) to the room. Their friendly faces with their cheerful banter were a pleasure to embrace each day. The food quality was great! I do not consume meat or dairy but that didn’t make a difference, there truly is something for everyone. The fresh food selection was incredible and certainly unbeatable to those I had tried elsewhere in Sousse and Tunis. The cooks shared helpful recommendations and I tried a range of fresh local flavours. This hotel was comfortable, with a cheerful friendly team and positioned with an exceptional view of a gorgeous quiet beach. I would happily stay again, and I highly recommend the Iberostar Selection Kantaoui Bay. I would like to extend a huge thank you to the remarkable team.

The hotel itself is a bit tired but the staff really are what makes it. They are attentive and jolly (one member of the bar staff was miserable the whole duration - might be in the wrong profession?!). The food is acceptable. It lacks seasoning and flavour but it does of course need to cater to as many palettes as possible. If you like flavour, take your own condiments (I hesrd the ketchup was rubbish but didn't try it perdonslly). The food is also a bit repetitive largely consisting of grilled meat (beef, turkey, quail) and fish, stewed lamb, chicken and beef, potatoes (mashed, sautéed), chips/fries, grilled vegetables (courgettes, carrots, squash, tomatoes, okra), pasta and pizza, soup. There was also a variety of different salads and bread (which always seemed stale to me). At breakfast there is no bacon! There are omelettes, fried and poached eggs cooked to order. The omelettes were delicious. There was also grilled vegetables, beans (not the baked beans us Brits know and love), grilled frankfurters, pancakes, pastries, fruit, yoghurt and museli, fresh juice and tea and coffees. Our waiter, Salah, was great. He kept us topped up with drinks and made sure we had everything we needed. He was always smiling and welcoming when he saw us head over to the tables and it made us feel like special guests to receive his superb service. The rooms are spacious, but despite requesting a double garden view room we were given a room overlooking the car park and two single beds pushed together. The pillows were not comfortable - a bit too hard and thick for me. Plenty of storage space but very few hangers. A wash and ironing service can be provided at additional cost. Tea and coffee making facilities are available but we didn't make use. The tea wasn't great so take your own teabags. The bathroom is huge, equipped with a bath and shower overhead. the shower was always warm but not high pressured, though did a good enough job for washing my hair and rinsing out sand, shampoo etc. Our bath didn't drain well and took a while so no showers in quick succession. The hairdryer in the bathroom is terrible - I never managed to fully dry my hair with it. Do take your own. There is a vanity table and mirror in the room but I found the lighting at night too dark to do my makeup. the bathroom was better lit. Drinks are ok. Beer is a 3% local and red wine a 13% local drop. The white wine tastes like vinegar so we avoided that after the first glass or two. Cocktails are strong but very sweet. They have Coca Cola and other local soft drinks poured from bottles so can be a little flat. All drinks are served in tiny glasses/paper cups, some people had taken their own (pint) glass out with them and the bar staff did fill them. The entertainment wasn't our cup of tea - karaoke, quiz, live music, drag show. unfortunately it was too chilly to sit outside so we were confined to drinking in the lobby where the entertainment was on, so we were largely subjected to

We stayed here for a week as a family and we had an excellent experience. The staff go above and beyond to keep everyone happy and catered for The entertainment team were amazing and they kept us entertained all week. They offered a variety of shows and day time activities which included Archery, Zumba dance, Darts aqua aerobics and kids shows. Special mention go to Hamed the waiter. He is one of a kind. He deserves a ProMotion for his excellent service overall the staff make this hotel. Mondo and crew thank you for an amazing holiday. We will definitely be back. The facilities are excellent too and all areas were immaculate at all times

An amazing 10 days at Seabel Alhambra. The staff could not do enough to help. From the cleaners, our waiter khalif and all of the animation crew, it was superb. Made more impressive by the fact that it was Ramadan. The energy and spirit they showed to my whole family was incredible. I have danced, sung and laughed with all staff. Thank you for making it an amazing holiday for us all, my kids will miss cookie and francos cuddles ricos smile but we have his t shirts as memories. Thank you all for teaching me how to dance. We will be back soon!!

As we have arived, we had to switch room because of dirty bad sheets and the mold, mold is almost everywhere on the ground floor so it's wise to check the outside a bit as well if you somehow get a room on the ground floor, in total you can't say it's a five star hotel, the rooms(we had the opportunity to check more out because of what we have found in the first one) in best case 3 star compared to other 5 star hotels, the lobby area was a bit nicer, would definetly rate it at 4 star, the common part of the restaurant was okay but definetly not a 5 star, the private part of it can say close to 5. Friendly cleaning stuff, they even made us some animal figures from the towels. Overall experience was pretty poor, the safe in the room didn't work so that was kind of a dissapointment as well. Wouldn't recommand this.

We stayed at the Jaz Tour Khalef from 24th Feb to 2nd March. We had an evening flight and arrived at the hotel around 9pm. Check in was quick and easy with the man on reception being super attentive. Our room had to have something double checked so he sent us to the bar for a drink and along with the others who arrived with us, were advised that they would have food available in the restaurant at 10pm. This was specially for us having arrived after mealtime and was definitely appreciated. Our room was a Superior Garden View. We had room B513. This room looked out to the rear garden area and looking to the side from the balcony we could also see the sea. The room was spacious, clean, light and airy with a huge bathroom. A fridge was provided in the room, and is located in a cupboard. Looked like it had seen better days but we had no need to use it. Room had air con and heating and plenty of storage for clothes etc, and a safe. The hotel and grounds were lovely. The main pool is stunning and has day beds, loungers in the shallow water and also round the pool. The lifeguard was super helpful and would always locate beds and cushions. He would also always provide a weather forecast - knowing us hardy Scots could be more likely to sunbathe than others from hotter countries. While the outside bar beside the pool was closed, the snack bar is adjacent and is open. The barmen - also wonderful, would do laps of the pool making sure everyone has a drink. Even filled my cup without me asking rather than bring me a paper cup. We ate all our meals in the hotel restaurants and enjoyed everything we had. Again, the waiting staff are absolutely fantastic. They will locate you a table and provide drinks. Nothing is too much trouble. Selection of food was huge. Breakfast included all the usual continental offerings of bread, cheese, meats, cereal, pastries etc along side the cooked foods; eggs, meats, beans. There was a station making fresh omelettes, another for pancakes and another for doughnuts. At lunch and tea time there is a pizza station, pasta station, Tunisian station and 2 grill stations all cooking a variety of options - alongside all the hot prepared self service foods, salads, fruit, desserts etc. There is also ice cream and sorbet available. We ate in Le Oliveraie restaurant on Italian night. We had planned this before we travelled and assumed it was a la carte. On booking we were asked if we would like beef or fish. We chose beef and were intrigued how our meal would go. We were more than happy with the attentiveness of the normal waiting staff - the experience in the Italian was amazing. We were seated and presented with a tray with several small sharing dishes. This was followed by 3 small bowls of pasta, also for sharing. After we then got some carpaccio. Everything to this point was a mix of seafood and meat. Then we received our beef - a steak cooked to our preference, with sauce, potatoes and veg. Final course was dessert of tir

I recently stayed at Marhaba salem Hôtel in Sousse, for a weekend. This is my seconde time going there, it was a largely positive experience, and a really good place to escape especially, the garden paths, they were perfect. In addition, the chef Khalifa ben salah was so friendly to us, also the breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of options with an good quality.
