Tui Blue Manar

OUTSTANDING SERVICE.. EXCEPTIONAL STAFF... HUGE thank you to Noura, Guest Relations she's just fantastic, making everything so enjoyable a real credit to the hotel. Special thanks to Mr. Walid Ghabi, General Manager, Chef Mayher.

We stayed for 7 nights and enjoyed every moment we were here. The people of Tunisia are very very friendly and welcoming. The hotel is in a great location just yards from the beach. Sun loungers on clean white sand with a super relaxed atmosphere have made for a truly memorable holiday. The hotel staff are nothing short of fantastic, all of them deserve praise but a few stood out and are worthy of an extra mention... The food was excellent at every sitting and was of a very high standard. You'd have to be an incredibly fussy eater to not find something delightful to eat. The beef medallions were exquisite... truly mouth watering. We were waited on every evening by a very attentive waiter, Ramzi. He was polite and a great addition to the restaurant and it's staff. They were all excellent. Our room 1436, was cleaned every day by a gentleman who did a stellar job and was super friendly and chatty and professional every time, we are unsure of his name. We will save our biggest thanks for a member of the Tui Blue staff, Zied. After arranging our excursions for us - and doing a great job at that - he helped my partner with a medical problem she developed. He went out of his way in his own time to visit a pharmacy for us and when that was not fruitful he contacted a doctor direct and helped us obtain what was needed. A big thank you to Zied. Overall it has been a fantastic stay, with fantastic weather (even during November) and has given us a great reason to return. We would also like to give praise to the 'relax pool' lifeguard, again we are unsure of his name. We know that he has worked here for 25 years, he offers 'top service' and truly delivers on that mantra - nothing is too much trouble for him and again another great addition to the hotels staff team. Overall it has been a fantastic and most memorable stay in a country that is incredibly friendly and welcoming.

The absolute worst food of any hotel I have been to period. The food had zero flavor, pizza flavorless, pasta appalling, every meat overcooked and flavorless, desserts zero flavor. Breakfast lunch and dinner. The worst! Room was ok but overall a super depressing vibe. Would never return. Please avoid.

What a fabulous holiday from the room and the swim up pool to all of the staff, from the restaurant to the entertainment, Faris and mahdididana; the wonderful bar staff who are so lovely ☺️ and to Zied who we saw daily and organised our quad experience with. Thank you all the staff who are so friendly and always greet with a smile. The food was absolutely amazing top chefs such wonderful creations and delicious weather was lovely too we would definitely recommend and will return weather was gorgeous too just right

Heading home tomorrow after a thoroughly enjoyable 10 days at the TUI Blue Manar with my husband and two kids (2 and 5). This is our forth TUI Blue holiday in a row. This was a clean and comfortable hotel with plenty of food and drink options available almost all day long. What absolutely shines at this hotel though is the staff. Every single member we crossed paths with from the groundskeepers to housekeeping, bar to entertainment crew, and kids club hosts to security, were exceptionally polite, friendly and keen to please. I didn’t take many names in but my 2 year old certainly fell in love with Ali (Baba) in the restaurant and the wonderfully talented pianist who played in the evenings. During first part of our holiday, whilst still in high season, there was an abundance of activities to choose from as well as being right on the beach. Both kids enjoyed the clubs giving us parents some welcome respite, although the Baby Club and most young children’s activities finished at the end of October. My only critique is that the pools on the cooler/overcast days were cold and some entertainment advertised was cancelled. The big shame for us with how much litter was on the beach between the resorts. For this reason we won’t be back to Tunisia, but will certainly be travelling with TUI again soon :)

Overall we had a nice time at the Manar hotel. The entertainment team are really good with the kids. As a family we struggled with the mix of entertainment as it is very much aimed at 2-8 year old children. Our kids are 10 & 12 so just outside the target age range for what was quite babish entertainment. There was a group called the hideout for 12+ but having a 10 + 12 year they wouldn't separate and leave the ten year old alone. Food was great a little repetitive at times but still something to eat each day. The sandwich shack was good and made great paninis. Activity pool was very active and you'll either love it or hate it.... Personally I loved it as I like to mingle but my partner didn't as it was to splashy and always run the risk of being hit in the face by a ball or Inflatable. The quiet pool was nice but didn't think much of the lifeguard has was quite rude to people around the pool who so much as coughed. Pointing and shouting quite people and blowing his whistle none stop. Became very irritating that the person making all the noise was actually only the lifeguard himself. Beach was nice, good to have the bar available too so wasn't having to walk far for drinks. Water was warm and sea was calm. Overall the hotel ticked a lot of boxes for a family holiday. I don't think personally we would return, but this is just based on the age of our children. If we had kids that were between 2-8 I think I'd book again for next year. Every young child looked like they were living their best life. And it was great to see younger family's having so much fun. Customer service overall was great and the hotel has a lot going for it. Overall pleasant stay
