Port el kantaoui, Tunisia: Average Review Ratings

Weather

Weather hot but it is July,

Holiday

A totally relaxing holiday, mainly because it is too hot to venture far from the hotel by day.

Places Recommended

The harbour a short walk away, lovely in the evening. Far too hot to venture far from the hotel by day, but Maharba Palace is so friendly it's not a problem.

Yes

Weather

Temperatures in the mid 20's with some high cloud, but mainly unbroken blue skies.

Only went to the beach once but was rather windy so maybe a bit early in the season perhaps.

Holiday

Fantastic hotel called the "Golf Residence" which was clean and the staff were friendly and so very helpful,

Plenty to eat, not british food, but who wants brit food on holiday?

Kids eat well, enjoyed the pastries at breakfast and the sweets at evening meal. Great Indoor (heated) and outdoor pools (unheated) but once in soon got used to it.

Did take the trip to the Sahara, camel rides and four wheel drive trip across the desert, oasis's and mirages fantastic, 1100 km trip but plenty of comfort stops and air conditioning on the coach, sad to see all the litter but you get used to it.

See as much as you can and take in the cultural differences!

Weather

Weather not too bad this year with temperatures about 16 to 22 degrees Celsius but in January you do need a light jacket at night,

Day's can be windy but we always have a great tan.

Great service in the hotel: we are going back next year to the same time same hotel. Basic but clean rooms. Some folk moan about the types of food available, but we never had any complaints

Places Recommended

Doing the Sahara two day tour is a must: very tiring but well worth the money.
If you can try and arrange the red lizard train trip, a friend of mine has done it and says it's brilliant.

Weather

We go every year in March and November and, apart from the occasional cloudy/windy day, we have lovely warm sunshine, with temperatures usually in the 70s.

Although the days are slightly shorter, you can be out in the sun all day.

We love Tunisia and have stayed at several hotels.

It is exceptional value for money. The Hotels are 5* and, now we have found The Royal Kenz in Port el Kantaoui, this will be where we come in future.

Weather

The weather was just right to sit by the pool or walk along the beach for miles with a nice sea breeze.

Holiday

We had a lovely relaxing time which was extended due to the volcano ash. We stayed at the Green Park Hotel and couldn't find fault with it or the staff. Once you get used to bartering with the shop owners and learn how to be firm when saying no we had a great time. We have already booked to go back next year.

Places Recommended

The Medina in Sousse was an experience. We also went to the market and the African evening which we enjoyed.

Weather

We went to Kantaoui for two weeks in October for the first week the weather was very nice and warm but the second week wasnt so good.

In the morning it was lovely but come 12pm the clouds came over and that was it for the day!!

Holiday

Our holiday over all was good. The marina looks lovely apart from all the people trying to get you into their shops!

We stayed in the Mahabra Palace Hotel. When we booked it we were told that it was a nice and quiet hotel and was in a very nice part of Kantaoui, but when we got there we didn't reailize just how quiet it was!!

During the day there was nothing at all to do in the hotel and theres only so many times in 2 weeks you can walk down to the marina!

Having now been home for nearly a week and having now had time to think about the holiday over all I would go back to Kantaoui but it would be some time before I do!

As for the hotel, if you are just there to sit by the pool and sleep at night I wouldn't recommend it! i wouldnt stay there again.

The hotel just over from the Mahabra Palace is called Green Park and from what we could hear from our balcony there is loads to do! Always music on at the pool and loads of games going on!!

Places Recommended

We spent more of our time in the Irish bar just over the road from the hotel but it is only Irish by name!!

It's well worth a trip on the "tuc tuc" its like taking your life in your hands!! but good fun!!

There's lots of places to see and things to do but as we were on a tight budget we didnt get to do many of them!!

Weather

The weather was absolutely fabulous, great and gorgeous!!!

I had a great holdiay in Tunisia. 14 days wasn't long enough! I will definately go back to Tunisia. The people are warm and friendly.

The Tuc Tuc is a must (a horse &cart ride to the towns/villages). The Irish Pub, a great night out.

I would recommend Tunisia to anyone who doesn't want a "typical" British holiday. Wish I was there now!!!

Glorious weather , sunny and warm but comfortable to be out and about .
Evenings and nightime much cooler although I never wore a jacket .

Holiday

I travelled as a single person for the first time this year and found everyone courteous and helpful .
I stayed in the Occidental Allegro about Sofiane and the staff were fantastic .
I will be returning there as being on my own was not a problem .

Places Recommended

The Medina in Sousse was fascinating , the fruit and veg market mouthwatering .
A guided tour was recommended and proved to be the right choice.
Did a couple of organized excursions to the African Dream at Friguia Park and the Beduin evening which were good value for money and although aimed at tourists were interesting and the children there seemed to enjoy them .
