The hotel was excellent, the best I have been to yet. The animation team was great and lots of activities for every one. In the day, water polo, water aerobics and water volley ball. Anyone could play. It was very clean and the nights were brilliant. The beach was cleaned often and night life in and outside the hotel was amazing. I will be visiting this same hotel for a further 2 weeks in December.

We got married September 2004 and we had booked into a hotel in Sousse, could not remember the name, a few weeks before our honeymoon the travel company called to say we had to move to another hotel, cannot remember why. We were moved to the Tej Marhaba. I had been on a few review websites about the hotel and lots of people said to me you will love it or hate it. After our wedding we had a night flight so we arrived in the dark and did not know what to expect. Well, as soon as we woke up the next morning we felt like we were in heaven, our room was on the 3rd floor and it overlooked the pool and sunbathing area. It was magnificent, the staff were really nice, the food was excellent, the pool was very nice, overall the hotel was fantastic. Sousse is absolutely breath taking too, we also visited the Sahara Desert...what an experience, it was amazing. Our honeymoon was that brilliant we went back the following year for our wedding anniversary (Sep/Oct). Both of these times the weather was not really hot and not too cold, so we then decided to go back the following year, which we did, this time we went in June, the weather was really hot and this trip got better and better, this was the same year I fell off the hotel steps by the pool area and had to be taken to hospital for an x-ray, I badly sprained my ankle luckily it happened two days before were due to fly home, the staff in the hotel and the hospital were very kind and supportive in my hour of need. We went back last year again, in the June and we took our 15 year old daughter, she fell in love with the place too, lots of shops for shopping. We are going back this year for the 5th time in July.....the Tej Marhaba will be forever. We love this hotel.

Just back from my 2 weeks in the hotel. 4 star, no way. The reception area looks nice on arrival, but if you look a little closer the workmanship is dreadful. If I did a job like that I'd be asked to rip it up again. On leaving the reception floor you soon see money has been saved by carpeting all corridors and rooms, even on the wall, horrid and unclean. My room never got disinfected, infact I didnt smell disinfectant the entire trip and the toilet stank. Even in the hotel grounds I was offered drugs and on 2 occasions a rent boy. The food was nprobably good for kids, bland and fried chicken, not a hint of authentic tunisian food, a bowl of couscous with a few vegetables was all on offer in the hotel. A bit repetative for 2 weeks. It mentioned sea view, it didnt mention the view of the sea was a good walk away and I could sea the curve in the earth I suppose above the rooftops of the other buildings. The road infron tof the hotel is like playing frogger, 4 lanes deep and quick. I'd never take my kids of an elderly person here, they wouldnt stand a chance. All the staff want is money, I'm used to travel all over the world but never had it this bad before, it drives you nuts eventually, I dont care how tollerant you are. Even after buying a silvert bracelet from the hotel shop the guy who sold it to me thought he had the right to keep my change, and even said, I want a tip. It took me to almost lose my rag to get him to hand the change over. I've worked in a few Muslim countries and visited more and never come across a nation of muslims who drink constantly, they were all drunk, day and night. The hotel nightclub consisted of the local boys getting wrecked and then fighting each other over who would get the easy to rip off tourist. If you are not extrememly confident and good at handling yourself this aint the place for you.

The hotel itself, encompassing the room, restaurant, pool, gardens and location was excellent. The room was air conditioned which provided much needed relief from the heat outside, and the decor was a luxurious Tunisian style. The restaurant provided food that was both delicious and diverse, in the entire time we were there we never once became tired of what was on offer, both at breakfast and in the evening. There were also plenty of sun loungers by the pool, and there were always staff on hand to help you find one for a small tip. The pool was warm, large and clean, with water activities going on throughout the day. There was also a poolside shop from which you could purchase beach and pool accessories, as well as souvenirs. The location of the hotel was also brilliant, having its own section of a beautiful beach close by, and being in close proximity to shops and restaurants. The only negative aspects were that we arrived at midday, and the hotel's bureau de change was closed until five PM. This meant that we had no money as we arrived on a Sunday and the banks were all closed, and the hotel refused to let us buy refreshments from the bar and put it on our room's bill. This happened to a number of guests, who were all tired and thirsty from traveling, and who all complained to the rep. Also, entertainment at the hotel was very limited, with the same band and a very annoying bingo caller every night. So if you wanted something more lively you had to go elsewhere. Other than that the hotel was wonderful, we had an excellent holiday and we would recommend it. Just be on your guard when changing money at reception.

Being a canny Scot I'm always looking for a bargin and value for money. Myself & partner spent two weeks at the Tej Mahaba in July 2005. The staff at the hotel were extreamley helpfull and well manered. The hotel lived up to all the features in the travel brouchure. The size and grounds of the hotel lends to a very relaxing holiday, with the added featue of the adjoining shopping centre in the hotel. Hotel facilities are excelent, out door & indoor pools, hair dressers, fitness club etc. The resturaunt is extreamley well run and the food is plentyful, and you can even have a relaxing meal in the hotel's Italian style resturaunt The holiday I spent at the Tej Maharba was one of the best I have ever had and I have travelled to many resorts in the mediterainian over the years. The resort of Souse is not your Benidorm therefor offering a relaxing holiday. excurtions are plentyful from the travel rep and well woth seeing. I did not have enough time to visit all of Souse and have booked to return to the Tej Marhaba on June 2006 . looking forward to this.
