Getting there
Somewhat walkable
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
This was our first time visiting Tunisia so we didn’t know what to expect. Our plane was the only aircraft at the airport time of our arrival and again at departure. The transfer time from airport to our hotel was about 45 mins as we had other holidaymakers with us who had to be dropped off at their respective hotels. Marhaba Club is gated with a security guard on duty, as were all hotels in the area. We felt 100% safe for the entire time we were at the resort. The lobby of our hotel was very grand; high ceilings, marble floors and pillars. Staff seemed very happy at work, all smiling, friendly and helpful. Check in was effortless, just a form to complete and city tax to pay and we were given our room key. Nice clean room with a balcony and large bathroom. Daily cleaning in rooms with plenty of fresh towels. All inclusive drinks are served in small glasses, so don’t expect a pint of beer, it’ll be served to you in a wine glass. Don’t get angry, you can have as many as you like, but in a small glass. The poolside bar will offer you your drinks in plastic beakers until they run out, you’ll then be offered smaller paper cups, not the bartenders fault; be nice! The cleaners do an exceptional job 24/7 so please show your appreciation and tip these hardworking people who earn very little to maintain the hotel’s high sanitary standards. The food is varied. At breakfast there’s a selection of cold meats and cheeses and fresh bread, fresh fruit, cereals, yoghurt. There’s a chef cooking fresh pancakes and doughnuts, another making you fresh omelettes. A selection of cooked items, some you’ll recognise, some may be a surprise! Lunchtime there’s always an array of lovely salads, hot and cold food including 2 types of soups. Dinner time is much the same as lunchtime, an array of Tunisian and European foods, beautifully displayed. Waiters will bring you drinks, tip them too as they work hard for their very low hourly rate. They really appreciate it. The pool is such a relaxing space. A certain few “reserve” a sunlounger by means of putting their towels out the night before, which in my opinion only, is a bit selfish as they don’t always utilise said reserved lounger, therefore someone else could have used it. The Animation Team are fabulous, we’ll done for their enthusiasm keeping us all entertained. We would certainly return, and bring others with us. What a lovely holiday we’ve had. Thank you to everyone at Marhaba Club

July is very 🥵 hot! But if you like heat then enjoy!
Hotel is lovely. From cleaners to management all work tirelessly to make you feel welcomed and very special.
Food is great. Good selection for every taste. Good selection of drinks.
If you like English tea bring your own Yorkshire Tea bags as the black tea here is nowhere near what English tea tastes like! ***And also bring a bamboo cup and a small metal spoon as the cups are the small coffe ones and the small spoons are made of plastic.
Rooms are clean and although outdated they look beautiful with nice views and AC.
The pool looks great but they really need to enforce the towel rule as some people leave their towels on from previous night so by 7.30AM there is no available sun lounges.
There’s always sun lounges available on the beach 🏖️ and these are more comfortable as extra padding.
Beach towels available from reception.
There’s a big shopping mall just 15minutes drive away. Taxi is 20-30DN one way. Has cinema 🎦 and lots of places to eat and shop. Reception can call you a taxi.
The taxi drivers have been very nice and polite and always come back or waited for us.
Entertainment starts at 11AM by the pool then continues until midnight on the club by the beach so if you love music you’re going to really have a blast!
Spa - have not tried the spa but massages start from 70DN for 30mins which is a good price. They have lots of packages available and also do waxing and nails so ladies don’t need to worry if you did not have time to polish your holiday looks.
Gym - very outdated machines but they work. AC it’s ok but could be better. Lots of weights available. Indoor swimming pool looks lovely and clean.

Where to start, family of 6 kids are teens / under a year. Stayed 2weeks in march
Good bits: The hospitality here is like we've never had before. The staff cannot do enough for you. Our table was decorated two times for occasions (nice touch) food has a lovely variety and carter for all fussy eaters managed to eat. Yes sometimes they have to re use food but this is normal in all inclusive (it'll be in stews) the catering staff are pleasant and helpful. Bar staff are top notch they don't let your glass run dry at all. Nourdine was amazing always made sure we're happy and engaged with the children and our baby. Animation max chico and fufa were awesome always up for a laugh and trying their best to entertain all that was there. I think the hotel need to fund a bit more in their department to help out. But they are doing a great job. Reception are nice people always smile with a wave and fatima the hotel rep manager is awesome always there to advise of things to do and also asking where the hotel can improve. Beach is nice but fair few ciggy butts in the sand The WiFi is awesome we took our firestick and that helped to watch the games ect. Location was £1.50 taxi away from the madiana good bargains to be had if you can haggle.
Bad bits Rooms need some modernising but we only put our heads down there as long as the are clean and not dangerous we are happy. Outside hotel people pretending to be from the hotel with remember me ect, they are just trying to make a living just tell them you know all about it. They will leave you alone.
Spa people and excursion people just need a sturn no, from day one they never asked us again just friendly hellos
Alcohol is about as strong as a well done noodle
That's about it to be fair.
We will 100% be coming back and have told all family and friends about here. The standout for us was the service from all staff no issues from anyone.
We managed to go to el djem via local train 6 of us went viewed the roman monument that allows you to go to the museum also had food come back all for under £30in total!!
Nearby activities Get the train it's safe and the locals are helpful the staff speak good English, go to monister for 50p!
Walkability We walked to the madiena about 9 times loved it but when you will struggle to go anywhere if your a wheelchair user

I stayed at the marhaba club on the 26th Sept for 4 nights on my own as the rest of the group had dropped out. Whilst here I felt safe everyone was friendly. I was in room 1143 and had a garden/ sea view the room was big enough for 2 people and quiet, had everything I needed but was very dated. The staff are friendly. The food is not brill but you always find something from chips to pasta to salad, fruit bread etc. I did manage to eat something but not the best food I have had the drinks and provided in small glasses like less than half a pint on your table. The drinks through the day in the bar/ pool bar and beach bar are all served in small paper cups regardless of eweather its pop juice beer or coffee. A taller plastic cup may have been better. The sister Hotel occidental seems much more updated and modern. There is a free cash machine in this hotel and a small supermarket. You can use this hotels pool but not there pol bar I wasn't looked with my wristband for the marhaba club. I used the spa and had a good massage and full body hammam for 200 TDA which was about 56 English pound. You can ask for bottled water from the bar in reception for your room. The beach is nice and the sunbed are free its is exclusive for guest to rhis hotel only., there are activities from jet ski, paragliding etc on the beachand the ll inclusive bar is on the beach too. The animation team around the pool always tried to get you involved. Overall the break was nice as I went on my own I was looking for a nice relaxing break and that's what I got. The evening entertainment doesn't start till 21.30 and one of the nights it's went on till around 3am the loud music I managed to drop to sleep though. I felt safe whilst in this country but then again i only stayed in the hotel grounds if you want to change money in the hotel you have to do this by cash i just found it easier to ho to the bank machine at the hotel next door. Dont change a lot as you have to spend it all or give it away as you cant take it out of the country due to it being closed currency. The weather and the end of sept ws lovely in the 30s. Transfer time was around 40 mins from airport.

I would start by saying that it is a hotel that I visited once and that was it. The reception staff is mostly polite, the cleanliness leaves much to be desired. The food is good, but if you don't go when the restaurant opens, you risk not eating. Drinks are served in disposable glasses and if you want water in the room you have to ask at the reception bar. The terrace with 4 tables, a bit small for so many tourists, we had to sit on the curbs, stairs and wherever we could. The pool is ok, the beach is the same, but if you want to walk in the evening, unfortunately you can't because it's closed The hottest animation team

The place isn't somewhere I would go again. Personally I found the staff pretty dull. The air con is rubbish. The firdge blew out hot air. The shower door was broken and everytime we had a shower water would go everywhere, the pillows were like bricks. The food is the same stuff every day (boring) all the chicken was pink one of the entertainers (Chico) made point of coming up to me and my partner at the end of our holiday barring in mind he didnt speak to us at all throughout our stay to ask us to give the holiday a 5* and also asked my partner to return on his own next time. 🤨 the entertainment was very boring the music was on repeat every single day. The sun beds are like gold dust. People fighting over them, you have to make sure you wake up very early to get a bed down at the pool. The drinks were so warm. & limited you only get wine or beer or soft drinks at the pool bar. The only thing I was happy about was the cleaner she always made an effort even made little hearts,swans and bows with our sheets and placed my pjays into little bows too always made sure we had plenty of towls and rishi our waiter in the restaurant he was such a lovely guy made a effort to save our table every night and even on our last night decorated our table for us. Was always topping our drinks up. Top man. The beach we only visited once because the sand was so hot you couldn't even walk on it. In my eyes it's a place ticked off but I won't be returning unfortunately

Our first impression was that the hotel was basic but clean, check in was quick & efficient, reception kept our passports until we paid the tourist tax, sadly when we went to collect them we found that they had been given to someone else, so check that you have the correct passport before leaving reception. Our room was big enough for us with 2 single beds pushed together, the wardrobe door opened onto the bedside cabinet so didn’t open fully meaning the drawers in the wardrobe were completely useless as they only opened a couple of inches. Not the worst thing in the world & easy to cope with.
The lobby bar was the only place to get any type of spirit drink, the pool, beach & Neptune bars only served beer, wine, soft drinks & tea/coffee. The drinks are served in wine glass size glasses and paper cups meaning there were often queues at the bar as people were going back for more. The hotel offered snacks for a couple of hours at the lobby bar only.
The dining room again was very basic & the food very repetitive although I would recommend the fresh doughnuts for breakfast & the pizza man would cook pizza to order for us for lunch time. Real spoons were like gold dust & apparently for soup only, tiny plastic spoons are available for ice cream – no sauce or sprinkles though.
The pool area is quite nice & it was obvious that some repair work was going on which is to be expected after the hotel being closed for such a long time. We had read that the pool has “jacuzzi corners” but we are yet to find them.
The animation team are brilliant, they offer you the chance to participate without being pushy. During the day it’s the usual aqua aerobics, darts, archery, water polo etc. but at night there are different performances & games. Twice weekly the three hotels in the chain come together for a big nightly performance, this is the only time that you can get a drink at the other hotels which we found a bit strange as you can use the facilities at the other hotels all day.
All in all we had a good holiday & the hotel did their best to resolve the few problem we had.

The staff at the hotel are absolutely amazing, very so friendly and helpful. Really was such a help with anything we needed. The animation team were brilliant, very entertaining, had something for everyone and very funny. Rooms were a good size and beds were made daily, fresh bedding and towels. The cleaners made one of the rooms specially done up with flowers one day, without asking. Was a lovely thing to come into. Good selection of food lots of different things to try. Bring cash as then you won’t have to find a cash machine. The private beach is lovely. Has a bar on the beach to get your all inclusive drinks and they do offer activities to do that you have to pay for but got a good selection. Pre warning of the sea is that they are jelly fish in the water, we did get stung but didn’t hurt for long. The beach bar does have cream to help. Not all the time just watch out as we wasn’t sure.

We stayed as a family of three in August. We would like to acknowledge the hard work of some of the staff at Marhaba Club - Essia, our housekeeper was wonderful and really looked after us. Ahmed, waiter, was so kind to us and worked hard in the dining room. Kamal and his colleague at the bracelet stall by the pool were charming. The animation team tried their best to offer activities and left you alone if you did not want to join in. This hotel is advertised as 4 star but is more like 3 star at best. On arrival we were told to go to the dining room while we waited for our room to be ready. No one offered us a drink after our journey, orientated us to the hotel, showed us to the dining room or told us anything about what the hotel had to offer. We spent the first few days trying to find out what was going on and when. The dining room is cavanous, loud and overwhelming when you have just arrived. The food is generally good and we accept that they are catering for a wide range of people from different countries and cultures. The labelling of the food is poor and we didn't know what a lot of the food was. As a vegetarian I needed to make sure I wasn't eating meat and lot of it I just couldn't tell. Like a lot of all inclusives the food was a little repetitive throughout our stay. It is a shame that there is not a speciality restaurant on site. Once we were allocated our room we were a little shocked at the poor cleaning - dirty toilet pan, blood or faeces on the toilet tiles, general ground in dirt - and the standard of furniture. The grout in the bathroom was brown in places and paint was peeling off of all the furniture. The headboard was precarious and there were unidentified stains on the curtains. We complained and were promptly moved to another room which was marginally cleaner but the same shoddy standard of furniture. The second room did not lock from the inside and the balcony door did not lock. We had booked as a couple with our 16 year old daughter expecting either two double beds or a double and a single. What we got was two single beds and a camp bed style bed added to the room. We were told that all the rooms were the same. From the number of campbeds and cots regularly lined up in the corridor I would guess that the rooms are all the same. The advert said an iron was available so we didn't take a travel iron. There was certainly an iron - one for the whole hotel that had gone missing two weeks beforehand!! The pool bar staff, life guards and cleaners at the pool were fantastic. It was a shame that not everyone was respectful of the pool. We regularly stood on clear plastic cups and plastic plates in the pool as kids were allowed to play with them in the pool. Younger kids were left to eat around the pool with popcorn and pancake going into the pool. Smokers were not given a specific area to sit or smoke and the level of smoking around the pool was overwhelming. Overall, the staff work so hard and are proud of the job they are doing. They are let down by the general upkeep and management of the hotel.

I took a travel iron… There is only one iron available for guests in the whole hotel.
I discovered this whilst another guest was asking at reception.
I gave them my travel iron as the hotel iron was not available.
I would advise you to take your own rather than be disappointed
We were there in October and there were ladies in burkinis at the pool and the beach, hope that helps you decide and it's such a welcoming hotel, all visitors were varied in nationality and we all enjoyed each other's company and the staff are amazing we still miss the the guys there
