Hotel Meninx Djerba

This hotel exceeded all of our expectations, I went with my friend and our2 teenage daughters, The staff went above and beyond from the minute we arrived. The rooms are basic but clean and lets face it who goes on holiday to stay in your room all day. The food was basic but something for everyone, during the day the snack bar was ideal for burgers, panini's and baguettes. I am a fussy pescatarian but the pasta options were nice. Desserts were amazing and defo made up for the lack of vegetarian options. My family do eat meat and they were happy with the choices. The pool was very clean and the rooms were cleaned daily with fresh towels provided. The biggest shout out goes to the animation team, they work so hard getting every one involved, from day time darts and pool aqua aerobics, to olympics for the kids and Arabic lessons (which I really enjoyed) The evenings were filled with dancing and brought every one together to dance sing and enjoyed the entertainment. Starting with a kids mini disco. We made so many friends from all nationalities through the animation team it was great and so were they. They are respectful and include everyone. Our biggest issue was the mosquitos, on the ground floor it is like a mossi breeding ground, however we were offered the chance to move rooms, and were given free spray everyday to spray around the doors and corridors. I would advice plug ins and mossi repellent. Finally it is a great area the ebach is beautiful, clear seas with lots to do. The local activities such as quad biking, horse riding and boat trips are so affordable we did something everyday and you get picked up from the hotel.

❌ Hotel Meninx Djerba – A Stay I Wouldn’t Repeat Arrival and Reception: We arrived at night and the receptionist didn’t speak English. I tried to communicate using gestures and my phone’s translator. There’s no air conditioning in the reception area—it was unbearably hot. We waited until someone took us to our room through a disgusting corridor full of dirty plates and cigarette butts. Gross. Room: This was the worst part. The bed was rock hard, the air conditioning didn’t cool, and the bathroom was filthy, with a horrible sewage smell. We were exhausted and didn’t feel like arguing with staff who don’t speak English, seem closed-minded, stubborn, and rude—maybe it’s cultural. So I let it go. At night, you can hear everything. Impossible to sleep before 1 a.m., though I personally didn’t mind since I go to bed late. Food and Restaurant: The restaurant was full of awful food. The juices were disgusting, and the girl serving them looked annoyed at everyone—probably miserable working there, and I wouldn’t blame her. The meat was tough and tasteless, the pasta would offend any Italian. Very mediocre and repetitive food. Staff were rude, and I think they avoid and ignore you if you don’t speak French. French tourists were treated much better. Facilities: Nothing interesting. Dirty gardens. The pool bar served nasty snacks—sandwiches covered in flies. If you ask for a glass of ice, they refuse and say (in broken English): “Only one glass, share with your partner.” We laughed, but the guy got very upset. I never went back to the bar to avoid conflict and bad energy. The pool itself was okay, but there were no available chairs. The beach was fabulous—the only good thing about this hotel. But you have to wake up at 5 a.m. to grab broken, old loungers. Everything in this hotel is worn out, just like the staff. I understand—it’s a poor country full of bitter people. Entertainment: The only staff who spoke English were the entertainment team. They were friendly and tried their best to entertain guests, but don’t expect Broadway-level shows. Very basic, but fine. Disaster Before Departure: Two days before leaving, the bathroom started flooding. I had noticed the water drained slowly, but didn’t expect what came next. After showering, I saw water pouring out of the drain—dirty water flooded the room and spilled into the hallway, even into the next room. I went to reception to report it, but the guy didn’t understand me. I packed my things and let the mess spread. The smell was awful. Staff got angry, saying I should’ve warned them earlier. They reluctantly moved us to another room. When we arrived, the air conditioner made a horrible noise. They fixed it, but then it stopped cooling. We slept without air conditioning on our last night. Final Day: The only decent meal I had was a seafood rice dish they called “paella”—but it wasn’t paella. No saffron, probably too expensive. This is a cheap hotel trying to be 3 stars, but it’s not. Some people don’t care and ea

We had an incredible time at this hotel. Everything was perfect clean rooms, delicious food, and a beautiful beach. The atmosphere was always cheerful thanks to the amazing animation team, who worked hard every day to entertain guests with fun activities and great evening shows. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and entertainment. We’re already planning to come back
