We visited the Hotel over the Easter Holidays. The hotel was very clean and elegant. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Loved the coffee bar and ice cream parlour both great flavours and amazing staff. The cleaning staff were fantastic keeping our rooms clean and tidy every day. The tennis were kept in great condition. Couldn’t recommend the service and hotel enough. It’s worth getting a private taxi as only cost 30 diner

“Ghliss family”

We had a wonderful time at iberostar Mahari djerba. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend it to my friends and family.

“Nice hotel with great facilities but avoid if you like a beach experience and swim in the sea”

Here atm and the hotel is very nice, the garden is beautifully laid out and maintained, most of the staff are pleasant and friendly and the food is plentiful and tasty. Sadly the beach is a real let down. One of the only places where the seaweed is not removed but left piled up on the beach, which makes it not only difficult to get into the water but also to walk along , especially for elderly people. Camel droppings are plenty and are not being removed either, you need to be careful not stepping into either rubbish or poop. Bearing in mind that this hotel is popular for families with small children this is extremely disappointing and not acceptable. Iberostar prides itself for sustainability and supporting the ecosystem, which is great but you come here for the beautiful beaches and to swim in the sea. There is also plastic and metal debris left from the nearby building sides and what the sea brings ashore. There are plenty of other ways to protect shore and the ecosystem, especially since all other neighbouring hotels do clear the beach . It also seems to be a breeding ground for flies. The island itself seems rather dirty, the worst I 've seen during my travels, there are plastic bottles and building rubbish left on every corner, so I would start there, rather than piling the seaweed up on the beach. As to the rooms, they are not very big but modern and clean, the bathroom is on the small side. It would be great to have some light curtains to the balcony to keep the insects / flies out rather than merely heavy blackout curtains. We couldn't make the air-con work , so had to open the balcony doors for fresh air at night. The premium pool is more a jacuzzi without the jets and has not enough loungers. Evening entertainment of good standard but very repetitive and again not enough seating for everyone. Not much else to do in the evening. Plenty of families with young children but still quiet and peaceful atmosphere. The beach restaurant is very nice , the main restaurant is rather noisy during peak time. Nice facilities for those who like to play tennis , There is an area for beach volleyball, mini golf, boule and other sports activities, a dedicated kids pool, so great for families and large main swimming pool but we prefer swimming in the sea, so planning of moving to another hotel.

“A relaxing week in the sun”

Me and my husband stayed here for 7 nights, half board for some rest and relaxation in the sun. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others but there are some slight improvements that could be made. Pros: - Lovely welcome of a hot towel, refreshing drink and a sweet treat on arrival - Excellent value for money - The hotel, its grounds and the beach were very clean, modern and well maintained - Lots of activities for adults, families and kids - Very friendly and enthusiastic animation staff - Food was really good and had a large variety of dishes, even for the pickiest of eaters. My favourites from breakfast were the Tunisian eggs: flatbreads and pastries. At dinner, I would recommend the pizza, couscous, chickpeas, flavoured rice, turkey skewers, salad bar and roast chicken. Cons: - When checking in, we weren’t given an idea on how long it would be before we could check in, so we stayed in reception and kept having to check if our room was ready - We weren’t made aware that soft drinks other than water weren’t included with our meals. We also didn’t know if we were allowed to have drinks or nibbles for the special events they hosted - We felt that we were treated differently by bar and restaurant staff compared to other Europeans (eg French and German) but this may just have been a language barrier If I was to book again, I would go all inclusive as there are no supermarkets, cafes or restaurants in the immediate area outside of the hotel.
