this was my second visit to these apartments. The rooms are excellent, very well maintained, clean, serviced daily. although we were in a 2 person apartment there was crockery for 4 people. there was adequate cooking equipment to make a meal on the 2 ring hob. there was no oven. the balcony was fairly large too. Improvements have been made since my last visit, there was now a lift to the second and third floors. the closest shop is about 100 meters away and they sell most of the basic food stuffs. The port was in very close proximity, as was the area surrounding the fountains which still have a light and music show twice a night.
Self catering is not an issue in Kantaoui as there are excellent restaurants all around the port and the fountains and as the pound is strong with 242 TDN to the pound, Tunisia is definitely VFM. if you ate in the cafe or restaurant Na Foura then a really good chicken bagette with chips or great home made burger and ships was only about £3 which makes it very affordable. Even one of the most popular restaurants: Al Mandra which is north of the port near the entrance to the Royal Kenz, I had a fantastic fillet steak for under £10.
Since the Arab Sprin, the resort itself was much quieter than i have experienced before which is a real shame as it is such a fantastic place with such welcoming people.
highly recommented.
