Iberostar Mehari Djerba Reviews

Vacationed 7 days at this hotel. Hotel is spacious. There is lots to do for kids under age of 10.

Went to Djerba for three nights with a friend. Expected a quiet vacation and got what I wanted, sort of. The hotel is in the tourist ghetto isolated from the rest of the island. So expect to be surrounded by mostly package tourists from Europe. Guests were for the most part German and French, meaning that English was not spoken much by the staff, though some members of the concierge were good about it. I got around with rudimentary French. It's a affordably priced hotel with all-inclusive packages, so the quality of everything was only slightly more than tolerable. Food was OK as long as I avoided bad Western food, drinks were OK if I stuck to simple cocktails without too many ingredients, service was OK if I did not ask many questions, and the room was...OK. They obviously cut cost wherever they could by making things just slightly above acceptable. Our room had a huge gap between the window and the frame, which the staff had stuffed with wads of tissue. The shower head was so light and flimsy that it turned out of control when I did not hold it with my hand. The most annoying, however, was the activity coordinators all around the property, stopping me whenever they could and trying to get me to sign up for tours at an additional cost. When I politely refused they became terse and treated me like I was invisible.

The hotel was clean and nice, no overflow of anything but just enough and clean. Very good hotel to be only a 3 star hotel.Internet is about 2 Euro/hour when majority of others hotels offers Wifi in rooms or in reception area free of charge. Overall, it is a good price/quality hotel.

We loved this place and found it a great place for families to stay. Don't know if it is the prevailance of French guests, but the standard of food (and all-inclusive drinks) was great, especially as it was buffet-style. There was variety each day. The mini-club leader was lovely with the kids, and there was variety in the entertainments provided each evening. I was enormously impressed with the dedication of the staff, particularly the "Animations" team - they never looked bored, or like they were just doing their jobs, but made every guest feel welcome and as included as they wanted to be. We loved it, loved it, loved it, and we are confirmed and seasoned backpackers and campers! Can't wait to go back

The place is fine - but is really geared to the package Euro senior - so not really fun for the rest of us and really not near anything - so you're pretty much stuck there. The food is pretty good and plentiful (but if you are not on the all inclusive plan - like us who were on the half board - for some reason not a single drink is allowed at dinner not even water - kind of shocking for a notable chain - and they were adamant about it - couldn't even bring in your own bottle of water).

Very nice staff, the air conditioning in our room didn't work. The beds were not very comfortable. The staff were great though all very friendly and helpful, not many spoke English but they all tried. Great swimming pool. I was alone with my four kids and felt very safe. Fun place for families.
