El Mehdi Beach Resort ex Primasol El Mehdi

What can I say. Had a brilliant holiday. We arrived late due to flights but were taken to our rooms swiftly after check in. There was food available in the night express consisting of pizza or pasta. The pizzas were not very nice although the pasta was brilliant. We had rooms 604 initially which smelt of sewerage and 610 which was fine. As it was so late the 4 of us (2adults and 2 kids) bunked in room 610. Couldn’t put up with the smell in 604. Next morning we went to reception who swiftly changed our room to 614, no arguments, no smell and reception were so accommodating. Both rooms although dated were very clean, fresh towels every day (just leave the old ones in the bath and the cleaners will change them). The cleaners were absolutely amazing. They made all kinds of shapes with the towels and sheets which impressed my little girl. The animation team worked very hard always talking to us while round the pool. One of the animation team (failed to get his name) even gave one of our party a nickname of Fanta and made the effort to speak to us. He was brilliant. Also a mention to Simba who was always so approachable and who was my youngests favourite. Mini disco was good fun for my youngest and gave us an hour of no nagging. She did struggle with some of the songs as they were in different languages but she soon picked up the actions. She also played mini golf with the kids club and also darts which she won every time she joined in. Cannot fault the hotel it is beautiful so are the pools and the slides are brilliant. The beach is beautiful although we did only spend a few hours on it as I got stung by a jellyfish so put me off, not the hotels fault obviously, just Mother Nature. We did a few excursions like a walking tour, pirate boat and the camels. Brilliant excursions. Massive thanks to Ali baba and his team at the camels. My daughter passed out and his staff were absolutely amazing. The care they gave her was second to none. The street market was eye opening and absolutely crackers but we loved it. Cannot praise the staff and the hotel enough. The only let down was the food. The only thing that was hot was being served at the pasta station. The food was geared up for the French/Italians and Germans. Not really catering for the English (that being said, we were the only English family there, so why should they). The staff actually seemed shocked when we told them we were English. The food in the Bain Marie’s was cold. No problem though we did order food in and it was cheap enough to do so. The ice cream was only served at a set time along with waffles and pancakes. Not really the type of all inclusive we are used to. We have been to all inclusives that offer ice lollies throughout the day and snacks all day. This was not the case here. But this did not spoil our holiday. The entertainment area had plenty of chairs although it could have benefitted from having a bar closer and tables to put drinks on. The bar staff in the reception area wer

I have never been to a worse hotel, the rooms were as dirty and broken as some kind of workers' hostel, the bar staff (especially the pool bar) made it clear that you were annoying them, they would grab the top of the glass with dirty hands. (I was sick for four days despite my excellent hygiene habits) The drinks were just chemical compounds, you won't get 100% fruit juice there. The Italians who give positive reviews here have their own wing of the building which is of a completely different standard, they have their own animators, their own exterior bar, and own disco stage. The only thing they share is the food. The other people, mainly from Eastern Europe, are first put in bungalows which are of the worst standard where plaster falls on your head. If you complain and especially if you give a bribe at the reception, they will move you after a few days. In other words, half a day was lost moving and relocating to another room, which is not in a completely dilapidated condition, but only partially. The only thing that keeps this hotel afloat is probably the generally good food, the friendly people who clean the tables and the animators. Although the mini disco for children is exactly the same every day, but our child enjoyed it every day. The photos of dirty, moldy rooms and bathrooms that people post here are a cruel reality. I didn't take any photos of it, because I want to erase this vacation from my mind as soon as possible. Hotel El Mehdy never again!

Just got back from a 7 night stay and it was a brilliant stay, enjoyed every second of it. We were a bit skeptical after reading negative reviews but we enjoyedevery day this nice hotel. The rooms are a bit dated but they are definitely up to standard and clean, we were given a room with sea and pool view. All staff were very attentive, the restaurant staff always amazing. Food was delicious, drinks were also good. Every day the cleaners clean our room. Last but definitely not least the entertainment team are amazing and constantly full of energy from morning to night running the daytime activities and evening shows. They made effort to engage with guest and push them out of their comfort zones to engage in activities but weren’t too pushy they had a perfect balance.About beach I don't have inoff words to discribe: hot and azure water with nice sand.We recomend this hotel .

My stay at Hôtel Primasol El Mehdi was filled with memorable moments. The location of the hotel is perfect – right next to the beach, surrounded by palm trees and peaceful gardens. Room 213 offered a stunning sea view – truly calming and serene. There was a small issue with my first room, but the staff were polite and professional. One of the reception staff, who didn’t assign the room but walked with me to check it, left a special impression. There was something in his quiet smile and gentle presence – a soft shyness, perhaps – that stayed with me. Just a few short encounters, but somehow unforgettable. The food was decent, and the animation team worked hard to create a lively atmosphere. Overall, the stay was enjoyable, and the hotel offers a lot for its price. But for me personally, it wasn’t just the sea view that made it special – it was also an unexpected, quiet impression left by the one who walked me to that room.

Very nice place, good location right on the beach, close to old town. Hotel bit dated but very clean and maintained, tasty food, staff very friendly and chatty, animation team spot on, big hello to Chicago, Muki, Leo. .

Really nice hotel. Only downside is the transfer from enfidha airport it takes upto 3 hours. Better to book a private transfer or if you can fly into monastir. I would do that. Rooms are lovely and clean they are basic but you only sleep and shower in them. Maid cleaned room everyday and always had clean towels. Food is ok always managed to find something to eat but it is repetitive. Animation team work hard and are always friendly and happy sikah and snoop are amazing. Alcohol drinks are ok small choice beer is ok. The hotel is in a good location beach is lovely and so are the pools but there are a lot of Germans here some are friendly but others are arrogant (as always) French and other natives friendly as well. Overall it’s a very relaxing holiday the old town is about a ten minute drive away and they are also friendly there. We had photographs done with the man in the hotel and would highly recommend. There is also club 55 in the hotel opens at 12am till 6pm and a pizza place open from 10pm to 6am if your on a late flight like we was this is where u get food when you arrive.
