Tui Blue Manar

I start this review with the following background. I’m 70 with a Mobility scooter and my better half is a bit younger. Arrival and departure at the Manar was very swift. We had a ground floor room in block Manar 1. This bock houses most of the day to day facilities. The room was well appointed with a good size en-suite suitable for a wheelchair. There was a plug socket each side of the bed. An extension lead would be a help if charging you scooter. Uk adapters will be required. With very limited English TV channels a Firestick will give you Netflix and Prime video. The stick would not run the uk catchup channels and that was using a vpn. The room were also equipped with a fridge and safe. We were very happy with the accommodation. There is a large ‘buffet type’ restaurant. There are lots of very friendly waiters (say hi to Number one Ramsey) who will fetch drinks and clear tables. As this is a family hotel it can get busy . The back ground noise can get annoying, but as I said. I am 70. The food was of a good standard and the menu was repeated the following week. The A la carte restaurant was an excellent dinning experience that must not be missed. The snack bar by the relaxing pool was a frequent stop off point for lunch. Providing food and drinks throughout the day. A quick and informal buffet service. The beach and beach bar was our morning haunt. The guys in the beach bar could not do enough for you, and again, the service was outstanding. The beach is well laid out and very clean. Using a mobility scooter was not a problem. There are lifts inside Manar 1 and ramps to all outside levels. The areas I haven’t mentioned, are as you would expect to find. But the main thing that makes this hotel, is the staff. There are smiles and kindness everywhere. A special shoutout to the customer relations team who could not do enough for you, and if you did have a problem, it was soon sorted out. This holiday was a last minute buy for a quick break. We had previously been the the TUI Blue Makadi Gardens an thought nothing could compare. How wrong were we!

Can’t complain about anything, room was amazing. Staff were incredible, beach on the doorstep. Plenty to do and see. Food was great, such a variety and delicious. Extra mile taken by many staff. They have a market on a Thursday in lobby which was brilliant too.

The hotel in all is amazing the staff are superb but big shout out to NAIM our waiter who made it more special also the lifeguard who made the kids feel safer and interacted very well with them while also doing his job on the slides I will get his name and edit it into this review the hotel deserves 5**

Hotel was lovely swimming pools where amazing staff was polite and very welcoming food was amazing and the waiter in this picture with the kids was amazing he was amazing we would go back because of him all-round loved it give that waiter a pay rise

We spent a week at TUI Blue Manar in Tunisia as a family of four and had a really lovely time overall. The hotel had so much going for it — the staff were incredibly friendly and couldn’t do enough for you, the facilities were great, and everything was clean and well maintained. As a vegetarian, I was really impressed with the food. There was a wide variety of tasty options at every meal, and the rest of the family were just as happy with the choice and quality. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to try the à la carte restaurant as it was fully booked for our entire stay — which was disappointing, especially as we’d heard such good things about it. The entertainment team were fantastic, particularly with the little ones. Our 4- and 2-year-old were absolutely obsessed with the mini disco every evening — it really made the trip for them! The beachside location is a huge bonus, and the beach party evening was a highlight for all of us. The rooms were fairly basic but clean. The only downside for us was the layout — the children’s beds were around a corner and out of view, which wasn’t ideal with such young kids. That said, the main bed was plenty big enough for all of us to sleep together when needed. Despite a couple of small issues, we had a brilliant time and would absolutely consider coming back. Great value, lovely setting, and perfect for young families.

This is more of a thank you to Zied who was part of the waiting staff at TUI Blue Manar. He went above and beyond each night, was super friendly and welcoming. Gives such a positive vibe when coming for dinner. I hope he sees this and gets recognition he deserves.
