The people working there are amazing, and the management are very friendly. I have been there with my parents, wife, and kids and will certainly return. ##### Zied Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Yahia 29 Dec 2024 Disliked: Communication We cannot rate the property as it was closed. We were only informed of that two hours before arriving, and only after we had messaged to make sure there was the option of dinner. The owner told us the Expedia reservation we had made almost a month prior was automatically accepted and promised to find us alternative lodging. The alternative was near by and sufficient although not perfect. But it was by complete chance that a family of five did not arrive to a non-existent hotel in the evening in the middle of the mountains. ##### Yahia Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Meninx Djerba](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Djerba-Midun-Hotels-Hotel-Meninx-All-Inclusive.h12626069.Hotel-Information) > > [Shalimar Hammamet](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hammamet-Hotels-Shalimar-Hammamet.h1641889.Hotel-Information) > > [Khayam Garden Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hammamet-Hotels-Khayam-Garden-Beach-Resort-Spa.h6791168.Hotel-Information) > > [Maison Dedine - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tunis-Hotels-Maison-Dedine-Adults-Only.h37862610.Hotel-Information) > > [Tui Magic Life Penelope Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Djerba-Midun-Hotels-Magic-Life-Penelope-All-Inclusive.h1379606.Hotel-Information) > > [La Cigale Tabarka Hôtel Spa & Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tabarka-Hotels-La-Cigale-Tabarka-Hotel-Thalasso-Spa-Golf.h9209677.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Zita Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Zarzis-Hotels-Hotel-Zita-Beach-Resort-4.h19864349.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Palace Resort & Thalasso, Djerba](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Midoun-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Palace-Resort-Thalasso.h1503882.Hotel-Information) > > [Calimera Yati Beach All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Djerba-Midun-Hotels-Calimera-Yati-Beach-All-Inclusive.h5094532.Hotel-Information) > > [OCEANA HOTEL & SPA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hammamet-Hotels-TUI-Blue-Oceana-Suites-Focused-Adults.h8120909.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Karthago Resort & Thalasso - Family Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aghir-Hotels-Royal-Karthago-Resort-Thalasso.h38898966.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Samira Club - Caters to Couples](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hammamet-Hotels-Hotel-Samira-Club.h1641888.Hotel-Information) > > [Monarque Dar Jerba Narjess - Family Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Djerba-Midun-Hotels-Dar-Jerba-Narjess.h25073887.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Sidi Mansour Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Djerba-Midun-Hotels-Hotel-Sidi-Mansour-Resort-Spa.h12433131.Hotel-Information) > > [Iris Djerba Hotel & Thalasso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Djerba-Midun-Hotels-Novostar-Iris-Hotel-Thalasso.h1256802.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sindbad](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hammamet-Hotels-The-Sindbad.h1247968.Hotel-Information) > > [Golf Beach & Thalasso -Family & Couples](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aghir-Hotels-Golf-Beach-Thalasso-Familiy-Couples.h94842367.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mora Sahara Tozeur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tozeur-Hotels-Anantara-Sahara-Tozeur-Resort-Villas.h42424210.Hotel-Information) > > [Djerba Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Djerba-Midun-Hotels-Djerba-Golf-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h35853473.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mirage Resort & SPA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hammamet-Hotels-The-Mirage-Resort-SPA.h27717731.Hotel-Information) > > [Hari Club Beach Resort ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aghir-Hotels-Smy-Hari-Club-Djerba.h21360003.Hotel-Information) > > [Africa Jade Thalasso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hammamet-Hotels-Africa-Jade-Thalasso.h5063718.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Dar el Bhar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Midoun-Hotels-Hotel-Dar-El-Bhar.h3865216.Hotel-Information) > > [Dar el Manara Djerba Hotel & Aparts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Djerba-Midun-Hotels-Dar-El-Manara-Djerba-Hotel-Aparts.h20173175.Hotel-Information) > > [Iberostar Waves Mehari Djerba](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Djerba-Midun-Hotels-Iberostar-Waves-Mehari-Djerba.h2802510.Hotel-Information) > > [Palm Beach Club Djerba](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Midoun-Hotels-Palm-Beach-Club-Marmara-Djerba-All-Inclusive.h483297.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Royal Hotels & Resorts - Hammamet](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hammamet-Hotels-Le-Royal-Hotels-Resorts-Hammamet.h1143435.Hotel-Information) > > [Ulysse Djerba Thalasso & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Midoun-Hotels-Ulysse-Djerba-Thalasso-Spa.h3073882.Hotel-Information) > > [Monarque Dar Jerba Zahra](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Djerba-Midun-Hotels-Dar-Jerba-Zahra.h23683261.Hotel-Information) ---
