One Resort El Mansour in Mahdia

I stay here for one week returning on 1st march 2026.
It was my 4th time in Tunisia, before staying in Hammermet, Port el Kantoui and Sousse.
Probably spelt all those wrong!
Anyway.. what a fantastic hotel, so beautiful and so peaceful.
I really liked all the space in the lobby and the bar.
The staff are so so great, so friendly.
By the 2nd night I didnt even ask for a drink, Sadek my lovely waiter brought them over to me. He is so friendly and a credit to the Iberostar name.
Also in the restaurant I have to mention Hobsen, although I could have spelt the name wrong.
He had my rose wine and water ready for me at my same table every day.
These things made my holiday so special
I must also mention the Easyjet rep Akram.
Very helpful
Fantastic hotel, it really deserves the 5 stars.

We had an amazing stay at Hotel El Mansour Mahdia Thalasso & Spa. The staff were warm, welcoming, and truly attentive. The à la carte restaurant was a highlight, Waheed provided excellent service, and the food was delicious. Naeem was also fantastic, making us feel well taken care of.

A special thank you to the Guest Relations Manager for her professionalism and dedication,she went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. Overall, a wonderful hotel with excellent service, great food, and a beautiful setting. We can’t wait to return!!

Our stay in this hotel was wonderful. Everything was amazing - varied food, location, rooms, beach and pool area and whole staff team. Everyone was extremly friendly and helpful. Animation team was amazing with activities during whole day. Also, I would like to mention Mr. Nassim Ibrahim, who was there for us whenever we needed assist. He is an example of a professional, kind, friendly and a hardworking employee and we will always be thankful for his service.

We will certainly come back!

Beautiful structure, beautiful beach, very friendly staff. my experience was positive. I'll gladly go back

Wow.
This is a wonderful and beautiful hostel. It has all the requirements of the individual. And the workers are great and kind. And this hostel has refreshing ideas and others are very wonderful, and its food is very, very, very delicious, from hot and sweet, well done all the frame ❤️👏

My wife and I spent 7 days in this hotel in the high season (August). We consider the holiday to be very successful. I read a lot of reviews about this hotel in various forums. Now, after the vacation, I can say that not all of these opinions are credible.
The hotel is not new (and most hotels in this area are similar). However, this does not mean that it is neglected. On the contrary, you can see the efforts of the staff to maintain order. The facility is large (800 people could stay in it at the same time). The hotel beach is directly next to the hotel. It is a very nice beach .
The restaurant serves a large assortment of meals. Certainly everyone will find something for themselves. It is natural that with such a mass of people you often have to wait a few minutes for a dish prepared by the cook on the spot (e.g. the proverbial omelette). I do not consider this a drawback. It's the same all over the world. A little understanding of the situation will come in handy. Likewise, finding a table. We had no problem with that throughout our stay. Even if a table was not ready yet, it was enough to ask the waiter and he prepared it right away. Service - waiters, cooks are very helpful and nice. And it doesn't depend on the tip provided. They are just like that. They try and this has to be appreciated. There are also bars serving a more modest assortment of food and quite good alcoholic drinks.
The rooms are typical, standard. Housekeeping is helpful. The rooms are clean. Individual air conditioning worked properly.
The swimming pool (and actually several pools, including the slide) is liked by children.
There is an extensive animation program by the pool which is very popular.
And the beach is very nice. And it is especially important to emphasize the commitment of security to keep order on the beach. We had no problems with a sun lounger on the beach. You can always ask the staff for help.
And there is also Wifi which (which is not the norm) works throughout the property, including the beach!
To sum up: the hotel has honestly earned its 4 *.
Would I spend my holiday in this hotel again - definitely yes.
Would I recommend this hotel to friends - of course.
Finally: even in the world's best resorts, if you insist, you will find some shortcomings. But is that what it is about vacation?
