I have just returned after a 7 night stay. I can understand why this hotel received 5 stars, 7 years ago, however it probably would not get 5 stars if rated now. First impressions are wonderful, the reception area is magnificent, the pool area looks great and the bar areas have 'hundreds' of comfortable looking leather sofas. The rooms are large, seperate toilet and bathroom, ok balcony but its all a bit dated. Now the food. At best it would be classed as 3 star food. If you like salad, there are about 10 different types every meal. If you like desserts, you can try about 20 different types of dessert every meal. The rest of the food is disappointing, its almost always cold or luke warm if youre lucky, if something runs out it will be replaced but it will take a while. more like 20-30 minutes. The restaurant is like a Butlins, it shares no resemblance to the standards of the public areas of the hotel. This is what you get for about £5 per meal as the hotel only charges about £20 a night for half board. The hotel is at the end of Mahdia, a quick cheap taxi trip will get you to the town itself, where you realise that it wasnt worth the effort. So you are stuck with whatever the hotel offers for entertainment. The hotel was quiet by 10pm, that sums up how poor the entertainment was. This is not an all inclusive hotel, they make a lot of money from the inflated prices for drinks, but the hotel makes no attempt to keep guests entertained and therefore spending money. Its a good hotel for Tunisia, if you pay about £400 - 500 per person for a week, with flights, then you won't be disappointed. If you pay more than that, you won't be too pleased. I would not return to Mahdia, as its not welcoming or developed enough for tourists, If the Mahdia Palace was somewhere else, then I probably would return for a cheap quiet break but only if the price was tempting.…

Bad service and racists against muslims. My wife could not get a thallaso threatment because she is wearing a hijab. Also she could not swim in the pool because she wears a burkini. This hotel is very bad against muslims.

Worst food ever - 5 star hotel? Dear Chef Curcuma is not the only spice in the world, you don't need to add it to everything, especially soup. Hot spices are really spicy for us tourists, we don't need to sprinkle them with spoons. There are cows in Tunisia, so you can serve butter, not margarine. I know everything is supposed to be cheap, but it doesn't have to be tasteless. Sometimes less is better!!! And we like to drink warm drinks with every meal, is it such a problem to put out hot water not only for breakfast?

Thank you for a wonderful vacation. We were very satisfied with the hotel. The room was big and they cleaned us every day. Everything was great - food, cleaning and staff. the food was excellent and there was always something to choose from. There were domestic specialties to choose from, but also European classics. Pizza and Arabic bread were famous! And they have the best cakes here. We also took advantage of dinner at the restaurant, where they served us seafood salad, fish soup, and grilled sea bream. An amazing experience. The program was secured for the whole day for both - children and adults. Animators took care of the program during the day - aqua aerobics, zumba. In the evening we could listen to a singer, a saxophonist or a violinist. Everyone was amazing. The beach was clean, with beautiful fine sand, turquoise water. The lifeguards were willing. Sellers were not allowed to walk among the people. The beach was controlled by a security guard. Everyone was very pleasant, willing to help and pleasant to talk to. I especially want to highlight your staff who were always smiling and nice. Our requests were always met. Please convey our thanks to the staff - especially in the dining room and on the beach. I don't understand the negative reviews about this hotel. Tunisians, you are nice and kind people. we thank you.…

We spent two weeks at the Mahdia Palace hotel, from the end of July to the beginning of August. We have very good impressions. The hotel is clean, very well maintained. The staff is friendly, especially our wonderful maid Rashida. The security on the beach and in the hotel is excellent. The rooms are very large, the beds are comfortable, especially the toilet, and especially the bathroom. The beach is beautiful, big and clean. The only complaint is the restaurant, which serves an all-inclusive meal. The hall is not big enough to accommodate all the guests, so schedules are made and people wait. 15 minutes to the next shift, in front of the door..I don't think that's right for a 5 star hotel. It's very crowded, we couldn't enjoy the delicious meals. It feels like we're in a student restaurant. When people are on vacation, they don't want to to look at the clock and calculate when the lunch shift is. After 20 years, we decided to go to Tunisia, in previous years we visited Turkey, Greece, Egypt, Malta, Italy, etc. and we have not experienced such a bad organization of restaurants, as here. He hoped that the managers would work on it. Aleksandra…

Just came from our holiday from Tunisia, another great vacation in this hotel. The staff was good, food also. The program was good everyday, animators Moskito, Simo and Aziz too, especially Moskito and zumba with him. These three guys were very friendly to us and it felt like they already belong to our friend group. Greetings to these three from Slovakia.

Loved the architecture and the spacious gardens in this hotel, also the reception is very catchy and luxurious,but i don’t think this hotel is a 5 stars one. Rooms need some renovations but they are clean, also shoutout to the maids for taking their job seriously. The staff are nice and kind especially the receptionists. The beach is lovely and clean. Animation was kinda off since they only care about the tourists. In conclusion the hotel is well arranged and well organised and clean but i don’t find it as a 5 stars hotel(nothing special as a 5* hotel). But i would love to revisit it as soon as possible.
