Absolute perfection - don't miss out on the Palm Marina
Nothing to dislike - everything was completely spot-on. Rooms are ideal, food is excellent and the location superb. the staff are faultless, and the cleanliness of all areas A1. Both the indoor and outdoor pool(s) are fantastic and extraordinarily well maintained, and the weather was wonderful. No kids running around (this *was* during term-time, in mid-June, to be fair), and the atmosphere was hugely relaxing. If there are no sunbeds available, you'll be provided with them, plus the mattresses (at no extra cost of course) almost immediately - if a sunbed has a towel on and is unoccupied (and has been all day - the pool guys are very on the ball) then it'll be given to you. There seems to be a zero tolerance of guests trying to 'towel' the sunbeds which is nice :) This goes for the poolside ones as well as those on the private beach. We hired a taxi all day (9am to 5pm) for 2 days running and it cost 180 Dinars per day (around �70) and the driver/guide took us wherever we wanted to go (Carthage, Sidi Bou Said, El Jem, etc) Hint - it's good form to buy lunch for your driver. The manager of the Palm Marina Hotel is the best we've ever known, as are all of his staff. Nothing is too much trouble, and no-one is doing something for you just for a tip. There is no question of coming back - two weeks next time, in September so we can have time to do the things that take a little longer, such as the camel safari to the Sahara. Wholly and wholeheartedly recommended.
