El Mehdi Beach Resort ex Primasol El Mehdi

Very nice place, good location right on the beach, close to old town. Hotel bit dated but very clean and maintained, tasty food, staff very friendly and chatty, animation team spot on, big hello to Chicago, Muki, Leo. .

Really nice hotel. Only downside is the transfer from enfidha airport it takes upto 3 hours. Better to book a private transfer or if you can fly into monastir. I would do that. Rooms are lovely and clean they are basic but you only sleep and shower in them. Maid cleaned room everyday and always had clean towels. Food is ok always managed to find something to eat but it is repetitive. Animation team work hard and are always friendly and happy sikah and snoop are amazing. Alcohol drinks are ok small choice beer is ok. The hotel is in a good location beach is lovely and so are the pools but there are a lot of Germans here some are friendly but others are arrogant (as always) French and other natives friendly as well. Overall it’s a very relaxing holiday the old town is about a ten minute drive away and they are also friendly there. We had photographs done with the man in the hotel and would highly recommend. There is also club 55 in the hotel opens at 12am till 6pm and a pizza place open from 10pm to 6am if your on a late flight like we was this is where u get food when you arrive.

Overall positive impressions impressions of the hotel, large space, tasty food, very good bar service. However the entertainment leaves a lot to be desired especially the quality of Sonia during karaoke. There’s a lack of music on the outside of this hotel. It deserves better entertainment.

Myself and my partner travelled here last week and I would definitely not recommend. On entering the hotel it looks lovely but the reception staff are not very welcoming at all. We had to pay tax and the hotel would not accept card payments or Bank of Ireland, Bank of Scotland notes nor would the bank inside the hotel so if travelling check your notes before you go. The bedrooms in the main hotel are very basic and probably about 2*. The cleaners do clean the rooms every day but on day 2 I killed a couple of bugs on the bathroom floor and they lay there until the end of the holiday. The beach is just at the back of the hotel and it relatively clean outside the hotel but as you walk up the beach it is very unkept in areas. The bar staff are quite pleasant as long S you tip them at the start of the holiday although their English is very limited. The food was ok and we managed to at least get something to eat each day but the flies are everywhere. You do get pestered quite alot in the resort to buy excursions, we did the camel rides, quad bikes, pirate ship and photoshoot. We felt that the pirate ship was not really worth the money for us but may be for others. The photoshoot in the gardens and on the beech was worth the money and you can buy as many photos as you need . Outside the hotel there is nothing to do as it is mostly derelict buildings and very run down so a taxi is required. It was a nice break away but definitely wouldn’t be back in a hurry.

I recently stayed at this hotel with my family, and unfortunately, our experience was far from satisfactory. The service was consistently poor, and the staff's attitude left much to be desired. It felt like they were uninterested in their work and providing even the most basic services. Every day, we faced new issues, and the staff's response was often dismissive and impolite. This lack of professionalism and courtesy greatly diminished our vacation experience, especially for our family. We were hoping for a relaxing stay, but the hotel's poor service turned it into a frustrating experience. I would not recommend this hotel, especially for families looking for a stress-free vacation

At first glance, this hotel seems like a nice place to stay based on other reviews, and there are certainly some positive aspects. The bar and restaurant staff are warm and welcoming, and the food is decent. However, our overall experience left much to be desired. The reception staff, with maybe one exception, were unhelpful. We tried to book the A la Carte menu for three days, only to be given the runaround. Despite that the information poster states reservations could be made one day in advance, every time we approached reception, regardless of the time, and two day in advance we were told to “come tomorrow.” This happened repeatedly. We booked three sea-view rooms, but one of the rooms had a pool view with only a partial sea view. While the staff did move us to a proper sea-view room after we complained, our relief was short-lived. The following night, a strong sewage smell began emanating from the air conditioning, making it impossible to breathe comfortably in the room. The staff’s solution was to spray lemon-scented air freshener into the air conditioning, which did absolutely nothing to resolve the issue. When we requested another room, we were told that we had already been moved once, and they were unwilling to accommodate us further. We eventually had to involve our travel agent to help resolve the situation. On top of all this, our rooms had poor water pressure, making almost impossible showering. If you're considering booking here, I strongly recommend researching other options first. If this is your only choice, I sincerely hope your stay goes more smoothly than ours did. For the amount of money we spent on this holiday, the experience was far from worth it.
