Iberostar Selection Kantaoui Bay
10/10 Excellent
"The food at the hotel was excellent, and the service was outstanding, with a very friendly and kind staff. The hotel's location in Kantaoui is fantastic, offering easy access to the beach. A special thanks to Naziha, the room maid, for the excellent cleaning."
"This is a unique stay so important to know what you are getting yourself into. The house is a beautiful old space so think of it as staying in a typical historic Kairouan home. Our room is on the first floor and the shower was separate in a room across the small courtyard. The door does not fully close or lock. Nobody else was in the first floor while we were (there were only 3-4 rooms), but the owner and her sister were in the upstairs section. It feels more like an airbnb with breakfast. When you arrive the host comes out to show you where to park (it is not in the same building) and also serves tea and delicious makroud with typical warm Tunisian hospitality. Breakfast was delicious in a dining room. I saw pictures of a rooftop but we never went to it or were told about it so I don’t know if it was open when we got there - I was disappointed. The owner is very nice but if you need her you need to ring the bell and she’s not always there. We didn’t have a key to our room. I also wish she had told us more about the house (though I also didn’t ask - but she didn’t seem inclined to linger). Soap and shampoo was just some bottles that were half used. However, the price was not high and the beds were comfortable, room was clean, location and parking convenient. and owner was friendly. In the end it was still a unique experience to stay in such a beautiful home and eat a homemade Tunisian breakfast, and the price was reasonable. Just don’t expect it to be a hotel experience. "
