We stopped at the El Kebir for the first 2 weeks in Oct. I agree with several reviews that the decor is looking a bit in need of an update but the hotel is very clean and the maids do a good job. The hotel is right on the beach which is the only good thing about its location. The... more

just arrived back from a week in tunisia.. its hard to give an enthusiastic review after having a week of rain every afternoon with the odd spell of sunshine!!! on arrival at the hotel..we were warmly greeted by the hotel staff and quickly sorted and off to our room.. the room was of average standard but not much to complain... more

I spent a week from the 12th October with my son and two grandaughters aged 7 and 8. The only downside to the resort is the location, seems isolated. I am the pickyist of eaters but had no problems finding something to eat at every meal, none of my party or any of the other guests I spoke to had... more

El Kebir was once, I imagine one of the best hotels in the area, sadly those days are behind it. Accommodation very good, rooms large with many having great views of pool and beach.However parts of the interior re quite shabby and would benefit from refurbishment. Pools are ok and beach is right at end of hotel front. Dining experience... more

This was our 4th Riu hotel and by comparison, by far the worse. Other guests we spoke to could not understand the 5* reviews on Tripadvisor, what are these people on? The hotel has many good points, like the staff and position on a sandy beach. But in the main it offers poor value for money. It is in need... more

Stayed for two weeks in Sept and were very pleased with our choice of hotel, our view was that it was 4*. Coach from airport to hotel took about an hour (we were the only drop off), the return coach journey took around two hours as we had to make other hotel pick-ups. We had booked a sea view room... more
